Good morning,
Regarding the appeal to cut down a pine tree at 861 PEPPER ST., in SLO, please add the following comments:
I have spoken with a certified arborist about this tree and in addition to the reasons I stated in my appeal as to why this
tree should be cut down, the following reasons are all stated by the arborist:
“I can’t believe they would let you take down that tree..”
“There is significant weight that needs to come off the ends that are growing towards the building…”. (To prevent the
tree from reaching the building.)
“Cutting it back that much could cause the tree to die…”
“The tree is most likely under stress because when a tree produces more pine cones than usual it is a sign of trouble…”
“The concrete pad where the garbage cans are located, next to this tree, is cracked, most likely because of this tree’s
roots …”
Please add the above comments to my appeal.
Thanks.
Patricia Kohlen
