I will probably do trimming this weekend sp please get me any advice before then. I Met with Ron Combs on site before
he retired and feel like I know what I can and cant do. Please let me know where I am mistaken. As far as conditions of
Subdivision it call for protection of any oak 4" or greater in the building envelope, there were no oaks in the proposed
building envelopes only in the side yards and setbacks. The pile of wood chips is not construction or dirt work and
therfore doesnt meet the requirements for stockpiles either. Mike Ive begun including you on these emails because the
only neighbor who spoke out against my Subdivision is now using city resourses to harass me. At this point Id appreciate
all contact and communication to be through email (no more surprise visits). Thank you for all of your time, sorry to
always be the squeaky wheel.

Hey John,
Can you hold off on any more trimming, we are working on a write up for you about best practices that need to
be addressed, and it would seem that at least two of the trees you cut down were Oaks over 10-inches in
diameter.
It would be wise to hold off on any other improvements at this time, until we address the complaints we have
received.
However, it would be helpful if you could do something about the wood chip pile.

Oak trimming and small removal work is completed. She has been informed. Not near a creek or
open spaces so you are all good Freddy. Don’t we need to inspect something at the WRRF soon?

City Trees of SLO,
I am concerned about the removal of several large trees on 163 Serrano Heights, SLO.
Cutting of trees continue, which is a concern. I am alerting this office because I do not
know if the tree removal was permitted. And because some trees remain, I’m hoping
that they can be spared.
Thank you for your attention in this matter,

Good morning Freddy,
Urban Forestry has no application on file for any tree removals at this address. Could this be one of your
projects? If so, I’m sure would like to hear about it. Please let me know.
Thanks ওঔকখ
