RE: REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF OAK TREE @ 1473 CORTEZ AVENL7E
- BURLINGAlV� �
I reviewed your request for the removal of one Oak tree in the back yard of the property at the
above address, and have made the following determination:
1� The criteria for removal has not been met.
2) Routine tree maintenance will mitigate applicant's reason for requesting removal of
the Oak tree.
3) Therefore, the application has been denied.
If you wish to appeal this decision you may: 1) Submit an independent Arborist Report supporting
justifiable criteria for removal of these trees and/or any other supporting documentation you may
have supporting your request for removal and, 2) Appeal this decision in writing to the Burlingame
�eautification Commission, 850 Burlingame Avenue, Burlingame. Any documentation must be
received at our office by November 29 2006 if you wish your appeal to be placed on the
Beautification Commission's December 7� agenda.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me af (650) 558-7330.
