From: Bob Disco Parks Division Please address the following comments at this time; provide a written response and reviaed pfans with your resubmittal: 1. Permit for removal of Port Orford Cedar was denied in December 2016 because the tree was in good condition and there was no effort to explore a means to preserve the tree and eliminate the tripping hazards. Because improvements are being proposed on the property, the Cedar will be adversely affected by the new construction. The tree will most likely be approved for removal since the demolition and construction of the new garage and patio will damage the roots and cause the tree to decline. A new Protected Tree Removal Permit is required and attach the proposed improvements and landscape plan for review. The permit will not be approved until the Planning Commission reviews and approved the proposed project. The following comments do not need to be addressed now, but you should be aware of them as they will need to be addressed at time of building permit submittal.
