Subject:Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) and the city tree policy
Topic for your upcoming meeting on Tuesday:
I am a homeowner, now in the new high risk fire zone within the city. I am a firm believer in
hardening our homes and neighborhoods to help defend our property and space!
As I go about creating my defensible space I am challenged by the city tree policy removal. Many
trees in our neighborhood and some in my yard
are within our defensible space yet, we are not permitted to remove them. Please decide if tree
preservation is more important than the WUI!
I believe you will need to greatly relax the tree rules making it easier and permissible to remove trees
in our Defensible space.
It would be nice if the city actually got out ahead of this and contracted with the tress service
companies to enable and pay for this.
