Dear Rev. Battles:
TEL:(415) 342-5931
At its meeting of August 4, 1983, the Burlingame Beautification
Commission granted a permit to remove 4 Sycamore trees in the
public right of way at 1245 El Camino Real. This permit was con-
tingent on CalTrans approval, which was subsequently received.
The Commission was very clear that in granting the permit, they
were dealing only with the 4 trees to be removed. They stressed
to your representative, Mr. Carl Roepke, that absolutely no work
was to be done on the remaining trees. He assured the Commission
that this was to be the case.
Since that time the 4 trees have been removed, and the remaining
trees have been severely cut back in violation of city ordinance
11.06.060, which requires a permit for any work significantly af-
fecting a heritage tree. The Commission discussed this matter
at length at its October 6, 1983 meeting, and directed me to
write a letter requesting that you send a representative to the
November 3, 1983 meeting to explain why the conditions of the per-
mit were not adhered to, and how you propose to remedy this situ-
ation.
The November 3 meeting will be held in the Park Department office
at 7:30 p.m. Should you have any further questions, please call
this office at 342-8931 ext. 20.
S" ely,
Richard
