In front of the building is an acacia tree, which is messy year-round and creates problems for our many allergy suffering tenants during the early spring months with its copious amounts of yellow pollen. We also have a city -owned liquidamber tree which is consistent with the other trees lining Bellevue. On our property is a rare, heritage cedar, which is encroached upon by the City's acacia, and our tree is barely visible from the street when the acacia �- is in leaf. The acacia drops leaves year-round, and we find it to be a highly undesireable tree for its location. Burlingame is a city of trees, and as a property manager and a realtor in this area, I understand the tremendous value that lush landscape adds to the value of our community. I request that the owners of the building be allowed to remove the tree at our own cost and replace the tree by one deemed more appropriate by the city. Perhaps upon inspection, it will be determined that no other tree is necessary in that location. We would be very pleased with either solution. Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter, and I look forward to hearing from the committee. Sincerel l Charles M
