Tree Committee
Corporation Yard Conference Room, 25 Prado Road, San Luis Obispo
Monday, March 23, 2015 at 5:00 pm
MEMBERS PRESENT: Trey Duffy, Matt Ritter, Ben Parker, Jane Worthy,
and Scott Loosley
STAFF PRESENT: Ron Combs, Steve Williams
Mr. Ritter called the meeting to order at 5:03 p.m.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Sean Flickinger, 79 Del Oro /Los Verdes Park, reported that there had been a public
hearing held by his HOA regarding the removal of three more trees. He stated that
15 trees had already been recently removed and the replacement plantings were
not healthy or being maintained and that the pruning efforts were not thorough. He
was concerned about the long -term healthy of the trees and the area's urban forest.
He urged the Committee to consider the Park as a whole entity, instead of just piece-
meal requests.
Mr. Duffy explained how the Committee needed to handle HOA requests and
encouraged Mr. Flickinger to gather support from the neighborhood to have the
HOA consider the entire Park's urban forest when submitting removal requests.
MINUTES: Approval of Minutes of February 13, 2015
The minutes were amended to reflect that Ms. Worthy was present.
Mr. Loosley moved to approve the minutes as amended.
Mr. Parker seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.

TREE REMOVAL APPLICATIONS
1. 1065 Cortez (Italian Stone pine)
The applicant discussed the removal request and stated the roots were cracking the
driveway and that it had already been repaired, along with the sidewalk. She stated
she did not have the funds to pay for a new driveway and felt the roots were causing
a hardship.
Mr. Combs reported that the theme tree was created hardscape damage and that it
had been heavily pruned.
Mr. Loosley noted there seemed to be a pocket of decay.
Mr. Ritter moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good
arboricultural practice and required a replacement planting of one 15- gallon tree to
be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of the tree's
removal.
Mr. Parker seconded the motion.
The motion passed unanimously.
2. 2247 Bushnell (2 pears, fern, pine)
The applicant discussed the removal request and stated the trees were encroaching
on the structure and that the surface roots were causing issues and he was
concerned about the utilities being directly under the trees. He agreed to discuss the
matter with his HOA as well.
Mr. Combs noted that the fern pine tree could be removed without a permit, as it
was under the required diameter and stated that the pear trees were healthy.
Mr. Parker felt the pear trees had structural issues.
Mr. Ritter discussed the structure of the cultivar and felt that tree #2 could be
retained.
Mr. Loosley agreed that tree #2 was in decent shape.
Mr. Parker moved to allow the removal of trees #1 and #3, based on promoting
good arboricultural practice, with the removals being contingent on HOA approval.
He required replacement plantings of two 15- gallon trees to be chosen from the
Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of the trees' removals.

3. Branch St. area, between BeeBee and Hutton Streets
(approx. 40 elms)
Steve Williams, Urban Forest Services representative, discussed the area request
and reported that the several mature and over - mature elms were in various stages
of decline; he noted past pruning's, toppings, and sucker growth with poor
attachments. He believed a strong percentage of the trees would catastrophically fail
and that the majority of the trees needed significant pruning to reduce the risk of
failiure.
He proposed to draft a risk assessment report of the removals and those retained
trees that needed to be severely maintained. He stated the removals would be
replaced with 24" box trees of varying species of elms.
Robbie Rizzo, 480 Branch, was concerned about losing trees in the neighborhood
and stated that past removals did not have replacement plantings.
Tyler Stark, 2166 BeeBee, agreed with Ms. Rizzo's commented and felt that Branch
Street had a lot of character and the trees were a large part of that and should be
retained as possible.
Both Ms. Rizzo and Mr. Stark supported the assessment study /proposal.
Mr. Combs stated he supported Mr. Williams' proposal for the risk reduction and
discussed the notification process for the area residents.
Mr. Ritter thought that Higuera Street was a good model for staggered removals due
to age and healthy of individual trees. He felt the pruning method around the wires
was good to create a canopy across the street and urged replacement plantings to
not be of any of the smaller species of elms.
Mr. Parker suggested interested residents perform a walk -about with Mr. Williams
as he identified the trees to be removed and outlined why it would be necessary.
NEW BUSINESS
Review Tree Committee Bylaws
Mr. Combs stated that the annual Committee review of the by -laws was required
and asked for modifications. Mr. Combs agreed to compile suggestions and
modifications into a draft document to bring back to Committee for approval at the
May 26th meeting.

ARBORIST REPORT

2015 at 5:00 p.m.

The subject tree was independently evaluated by ISA certified arborist #WE- 10069A
Request for removal of a single Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta):
1. The findings for tree removal as stipulated in Section 12.24.090(D)(1)(a) can be made. The palm is a
significant and imminent hazard to life or property, and removing it is the only feasible way to eliminate the
hazard.
a. The palm is approximately 75 feet in height and regularly drops heavy, sharp fronds, at high
velocities on public and private property, even when regularly maintained and as such represents
a significant public hazard and liability (see photos).
b. The Mexican fan palm is a fast - growing species, with a growth rate of over 36 inches per season,
and can reach heights of 100 feet, making it a greater hazard and liability over time.'
c. Due to height of the palm, fronds are able to reach considerable distances from dripline of tree,
particularly on high wind days which occur frequently.
d. There are several children that reside at each adjacent property, as well as an elderly residential
care facility across the street from where the palm exists. Fronds often fall onto the sidewalk in
front of the subject property and onto the adjoining properties, which jeopardizes the health,
safety, and welfare of the children, elderly, and other users of the sidewalk (see photos). Falling
fronds represent a significant hazard and liability. Adjacent property owner support removal of the
palm for these reasons.
e. Fronds have also fallen into the Sinsheimer Park along a frequently used walking path (behind the
subject property), which endangers uses.
f. Fronds also regularly fall onto the subject property and adjacent properties and can cause
significant property damage, particularly to roofs and vehicles (see photos). Adjacent property
owner also support removal of the palm for these reasons.
g. Shallow, dense clayey soils have forced roots to grow horizontally rather than vertically and the
tree roots remain close to the surface of the soil. The tree is located approximately 10 feet from the
house, 8 feet from the water /sewer box, and 7 feet from the sidewalk. As such, tree is not
appropriately spaced away from structures /infrastructure and has caused damage to paving
(existing uplifting).
h. Mexican fan palms are fibrous and are more prone to snapping or uprooting during storms than
other palm species. If the tree were to uproot, it would cause significant damage to property and
potentially endanger life, as well as represent a major liability. The subject palm tree is located in
an area where unstable /uneven ground exists, which increases the potential for uprooting (see
photos). The tree is also located in an area with dense clayey soils, which further increases uproot
potential.
2. The findings for tree removal as stipulated in Section 12.24.090(D)(2)(c) can be made. Removing
the tree will not harm the character or environment of the surrounding neighborhood. Conversely, removal
of the tree will improve character and the environment of the surrounding neighborhood.
a. The palm is highly inconsistent and incompatible with the existing character, height, and scale of
the residential neighborhood and other trees on the street. There are no other palms in the vicinity.
The palm is approximately 75 feet in height, while other existing street and neighborhood trees are
approximately 25 to 30 feet in height (see photos).
b. Removal of the palm will improve the aesthetics of the street and neighborhood.
c. The palm is located in the front yard of the subject property and is not a street tree.
d. The palm is not a native or unique tree, and is a highly common ornamental tree.
e. The California Invasive Plant Council classifies the invasiveness of this plant as moderate.
f. The tree has little to no habitat value other than for rat populations.
3. The "tree" is a Mexican Fan Palm (Washingtonia robusta). Very common ornamental palm. The California
Invasive Plant Council classifies the invasiveness of this plant as moderate. Removal will not result in any
significant negative environmental impacts.

Meathead Movers
3600 South Higuera Street
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
This report is in regard to the proposed removal of a 56 inch diameter Monterey
cypress tree (Cupressess macrocarpa) located approximately 20 feet south east of the
corner of the Meathead Mover's building. This tree is actually owned by the property
just south of 3600 South Higuera, therefore, any city approved removal will need to be
negotiated with that owner.
This tree is currently located very close to the property line. One side has fill soil
and the other side is either slightly cut or has been compacted. Possibly due to these
impacts, the tree appears to be in decline. There are many limbs expressing dieback
along with past failures. The live crown ration is approximately 50% due to past pruning
activities. From the South Higuera side, the dieback is clearly evident.
The plans are to widen the existing Meathead Mover's building to within several
feet from the tree. The addition would be placed on existing fill, however, there could be
some over - excavation requirements that would have to be amended to compensate for the
tree. There are available construction techniques that can mitigate root damage such as
spanner beams or caissons that avoid the roots. However, trying to save a tree that is
clearly in decline is usually not cost effective nor a good forestry practice at this juncture.
There are close to a dozen young Monterey cypress trees already planted on the
property so any additional planting should allow for adequate space to any future trees.
The following photographs illustrate the tree's condition
Expansion is planned to go to about the edge of the curbing. Notice the tree's
trunk on the right,
This photograph illustrates the tree from the neighbor's lot to the south.
As this species of tree declines, the failure potential increases. To build an
addition within the target zone just increase the probability of damage to property. We
strongly feel that removing this tree and replacing it is much more feasible than trying to
save it. The significant loss of vigor and overall tree health makes this tree a canditiate to
be considered for removal.
save lt. The significant loss of vigor and overall tree health makes this tree a candithate to

Please visit: httv:// www. slocity .ore/home/showdocument ?id =4685 and
have both the tree's owner and the applicant fill out the appropriate portions.
