Dear Commissioner,
A mid -sized, city -owned magnolia in the parking strip in front of my
home is in conflict with a magnificent, mature, "protected" blue
cedar in my neighbor's yard. Surely the unfortunate and very ill-
conceived placement of this magnolia -- directly under the cedar's
canopy (see Photo A) -- was done before your time. Of course, this
magnolia has had no where to grow except into the cedar. The
pruning it has received to date has left it aesthetically unbalanced
(see Photo B). The inevitable result of this relationship, it seems to
me, is that the magnolia will eventually require removal.
While I highly respect and applaud the City's policy of tree
protection, in this instance I urge you to remove the tree now and
not replace it. Steve Porter, the City Arborist, has already viewed
this situation and agrees with me, in principle, but expained that his
charter prevents him from recommending removal.
Thank you for your open-minded consideration of this request.
