TREE COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2014 Corporation Yard Conference Room 25 Prado Road, San Luis Obispo MEMBERS PRESENT: Jane Worthy, Matt Ritter, Trey Duffy, Ben Parker and Scott Loosley STAFF PRESENT: Ron Combs PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. MINUTES: Approval of Minutes of December 3, 2013 Mr. Parker moved to approve the minutes as submitted. Mr. Loosley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. TREE REMOVAL APPLICATIONS 1. 590 Marsh (Ficus) Jeff Edwards, applicant's representative, discussed the second submission of this removal request and the use of solar panels in the design and reiterated that the retaining the tree would minimize effectiveness at various times of the day. He also discussed associated hardscape issues and felt keeping the tree would create undue hardship for the development. He also discussed the need for diversity of species in the area and felt the Chinese pistache would add color. He noted a number of street trees would be installed and also offered to purchase three trees to donate to the City's Open Space Tree planting program. Mr. Combs stated the large tree was healthy and that he could not make his necessary findings for removal. Craig Smith, applicant's representative, noted that five specimen trees were being added around the corner area and that another large Ficus was present in the area. He reiterated his concern about solar access being blocked. 4 Mr. Loosley felt removing the signature tree would change the character of the immediate community and that pavement issues could be mitigated. He did not feel solar access would be limited as the solar effectiveness and peak times would be available, as the tree would not be blocking high sun times and the solar delivery results. Mr. Parker agreed that the tree would not dramatically impact solar effectiveness and that hardscape issues could be addressed and that the tree should be incorporated into the construction/design. Ms. Worthy agreed with Committee comments. Mr. Edwards explained that construction would be complicated by having to protect the tree and discussed the goal of creating an energy -neutral site, maintaining that the solar access would be limited. Mr. Ritter agreed the tree was significant and that its shading benefits were important. He discussed the carbon footprint of losing a tree vs. solar benefits/payback. Mr. Parker moved to deny the removal request, as he could not make the findings necessary for approval. Ms. Worthy seconded the motion. The motion passed, with Mr. Duffy voting against. 2. 233 LINCOLN (Coast live oak) The applicant discussed the removal request, stating that 40% of the tree was hanging over 876 Venable property and was concerned about safety. He was also concerned about the PG&E line interference. He discussed past pruning efforts and felt the location was wrong for a large tree that would keep growing. Mr. Combs reported it was a healthy, medium-sized oak in a poor location. Mr. Duffy noted that the tree shades several properties, but agreed with hardship concerns for the applicant. Ms. Worthy agreed the tree was in an awkward spot, but that it was healthy and she did not favor removal. Mr. Parker felt the only real problem with the tree was the location; he felt it could be pruned to accommodate the PG&E lines, which were not posing a safety issues. He agreed the tree was burdensome, but not to an unreasonable level and favored retaining the skyline tree. Mr. Ritter reported that he was unable to view the tree. Ms. Worthy moved to deny the removal request, as she could not make the necessary findings for removal. Mr. Loosley seconded the motion. The motion passed, with Mr. Ritter abstaining and Mr. Duffy voting against. 3. 1570 PENNY LANE (3 eucalyptus) Tom Jess, applicant's representative, discussed the small site and majorly restricted ability to develop the property. He noted three trees were in direct line of vehicle access and retaining them would create severe hardship in developing the site. He noted a fourth tree was located in the City's right-of-way. Shelli Winter, owner, discussed the small lot and the steep access that created the undue hardship. She agreed these were skyline trees, but noted that there were several other large trees in the immediate area. Mr. Combs reported that the large eucalyptus trees were relatively healthy. Mr. Ritter noted that the Committee had received several letters of opposition. Stefan Lamb, 1251 Buchon, discussed the neighborhood atmosphere and felt the trees provided a visual anchor, as well as a windbreak and natural wildlife habitat. He felt such a community resource should be protected. Mark Binder, 1563 Penny Lane, felt the character of the street would be irrevocably harmed. He agreed that the skyline trees were a wildlife habitat. Maryellen Gibson, 1251 Buchon, was concerned about the integrity of the cliff if the trees were removed, especially when the traveling train created significant vibrations in the area and could cause stabilization issues. Eric Meyer, 1232 Buchon, appreciated the predicament for the owners but could not support removal of the trees for vehicle accessibility. He discussed the possibility of a variance. Mr. Jess noted that the City would not likely cede any rights. Peter Safelli, 1235 Buchon, was extremely opposed to the removals and felt the environmental benefits were significant. 0 Drew Ramsey, 1516 Penny Lane, agreed with all of the neighbor comments and felt the trees' protection was paramount. Shelly Safelli, 1235 Buchon, stated the removals would leave an unsightly area and that the trees' shading was significant. Ms. Winter noted that the fourth tree on the street was not listed for removal in the application. Mr. Loosley agreed that removing the trees would create an inhospitable area. He was also concerned about limb droppage on such a small site. He understood that the property could not be built without removing the three trees and was concerned that construction might adversely affect the viability of the fourth tree, which he noted was in need of drastic pruning. Mr. Parker felt that confirmation was needed to determine the habitat issues for the trees. Ms. Worthy noted the City deemed the lot buildable and favored removal, as retaining the trees would create undue hardship to the property owners and their plans to be able to utilize their property. Mr. Duffy agreed with Ms. Worthy. Mr. Duffy moved to approve the removal of the three site trees, based on undue hardship to the property owners, contingent upon a qualified biologist determining that no active nesting sites existed. He further required three 15 -gallon replacement trees to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree removals. Mr. Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed, with Mr. Ritter voting against. 4. 11295 LOS OSOS VALLEY ROAD (36 misc. trees) Ron Rinnell, applicant's representative, discussed the removal application and noted the trees were decayed, failing, and in poor locations. He discussed the new landscaping plan proposed. Mr. Combs reported that due to the large quantity of removals, he could not make the findings for removal. Mr. Loosley agreed that the silk oaks were failing and the stone pine was causing fence damage. He did not feel water -hungry tree species were a good replacement. Mr. Parker moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good arboricultural practice and require implementation of the proposed replanting plan within 45 days of tree removals. Mr. Ritter seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 5. 1144 CHORRO (2 trees) Mark Rawson, applicant's representative, discussed the remodel design and noted the corner tree had badly damaged sidewalks and the stand of trees along the frontage were crowded; he discussed interspersed removals. Mr. Combs noted he had approved the corner tree, but could not make the findings for removing the carrotwood. Mr. Ritter moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good arboricultural practice and required one 15 -gallon tree to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree's removal. Mr. Loosley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 6. 1541 SLACK (Palm) The elderly owner's relative discussed the removal request, citing damage to the roof due to fronds and the infestation of rodents in the tree. The owner was also concerned about liability and safety to pedestrians. Mr. Rinnell, applicant's representative, discussed a suggestion to transplant the tree on California Blvd. Mr. Combs supported the transplanting concept. The Committee agreed. Mr. Ritter moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good arboricultural practice and required one 15 -gallon tree to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree's removal. Mr. Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. G 7. 1350 OSOS (2 Liquid ambers) Steve Franzman, applicant's representative, discussed the removal request for the two trees, stating they were causing undue hardship by cracking sidewalks, as well as damaging the retaining wall and the foundation. Mike Kreizer, property representative, felt the trees were in the wrong place. He discussed the root damage to drain pipes and hardscape and outlined plans to level the area and plant ornamental Japanese maples. Mr. Combs reported the relatively healthy trees were causing displacement. Mr. Parker moved to approve the removal request, based on undue hardship to the property owner and required one 15 -gallon tree to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree's removal. Mr. Loosley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. 777 MILL Mr. Combs reported the item had been withdrawn. 9. 300 LOS CERROS (2 eucalyptus) The applicant discussed the removal request, noting that she did not feel removal would harm the character of the neighborhood and that there were five large oaks in the front yard. Mr. Combs stated he could not make the necessary findings. Dan Kingman, 288 Los Cerros, supported the removals and stated the trees were three feet from his fence line. He reported there were turtles in his back yard and he was concerned about the overhanging branches breaking and creating safety issues. Mr. Duffy felt they were skyline trees and stated he could not make the findings unless they were deemed dangerous. Mr. Parker moved to approve the removal request, as doing so would not harm the surrounding neighborhood or environment, and required two 15 -gallon trees to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree removals. Mr. Ritter seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 10. 1141 ISLAY (Tulip) The applicant discussed the removal request and submitted an arborist report that stated the mature tree was split and was causing significant root damage to the driveway, underground utilities, sidewalk, street, and sewer. The report stated that the tree was entwined with the power lines and maintained that the tree should be removed. The applicant was also concerned about transformer issues. Mr. Combs agreed with the report findings and felt that the structure had been compromised. Mr. Parker moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good arboricultural practice, and required one 15 -gallon tree to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree's removal. Mr. Loosley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 11.265 FOOTHILL (Eucalyptus) Shaun Collarman, applicant's representative, discussed the removal request and the plans for re -landscaping. Mr. Combs reported that the tree had been topped, but was a healthy skyline tree. Mr. Loosley moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good arboricultural practice, and required one 15 -gallon tree to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree's removal. Mr. Parker seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 12.1234 MONTEREY (Ficus) Mr. Combs discussed the re -submitted application, noting that the roots had been cut due to boxed culvert and that the tree would not be viable. He reported he had pursued other mitigation measures, e.g. bulb outs, and the drainage issues remained. Chris Paris, applicant's representative, presented an engineering report that indicated that removal was the only feasible option. Mr. Parker stated that the applicant had satisfied the previous Committee request to exhaust all options to retain the tree and now agreed with removal. Mr. Loosley moved to approve the removal request, based on promoting good arboricultural practice, and required the applicant work with the arborist on replanting a suitable box specimen to be chosen from the Master Street Tree list and planted within 45 days of tree's removal. Ms. Worthy seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. NEW BUSINESS Illegal Removal at Grange Hall Mr. Combs discussed the highly visible, illegal removals that took place at the Grange Hall, noting that trees were very rare Tamarisks. He reported that the Grange Hall representatives had received a letter outlining the approximate $10K fines for the illegal removals and that the City Attorney had been notified. There were no Grange Hall representatives in attendance. Meeting Date Revisions Due to upcoming schedule conflicts and holiday closures, it was determined that the May regular meeting is cancelled and the June meeting is scheduled for June 9.

This site is currently under construction and now is the perfect time 0 remove and replace trees. We propose to remove the Coastal Oaks and! replace them, with Chinese Pistache Trees. X) TRE] OWNERS. The SLO Master Tree List describes 0 potential to reach. 70 feet high and 70 feet wide. These trees are fast growing native trees (Source. California Native Plants for Gardens). We are currently engaged in constructio: lot. The Street Tree Master List requires a set I ft, to 10 ft.

Live Oak trees with a aggressive root systems, of a new residence on this ,k from the sidewalk of T5 diameter. They currently If these trees are allowed to remain the pose a threat to gas and electrical lines as well as residential irrigation d would soon encroach on the existing sidewalk and street. They would al o require continued pruning and maintenance. 2) REMOVAL OF THE . TRU ARBORIC'ULTURAL PRACTICES. Mature Coast Oaks can produce up to 500 pounds of nuts a season. These nuts and their falling leaves would have to, be removed. 01/01/2014 10:10 8055468803 DAVAR PAGE 03/05 It is difficult for plauts to survive under these oak canopies greatly restricting the,success of planned plantings of shrubs and plants. Other less dominant trees would allow for greater diversity of plantings. 3) REMOVAL OF THE TREES WILL NOT HARM THE CHARACTER OR EN)IRONMENT OF THE SURROUNDING NEIGHSOMOOD. The surrounding neighborhood (Bowden Ranch) already has a number of Chinese Pistache trees planted on boulevards and incorporated into residential landscapes. Our proposal to replace these oaks with Chinese Pistache trees -will actually create a greater consistency in the appearance of the neighborhood and together they create beautiful "curb appeal" A number of Coastal Live Oaks are currently in the back and adjacent woodland to our property where they are thriving and have room to grow and multiply.

Back in the Summer 2013 I consulted the Grange about the trees, the health of the trees, as well as what to do next. It is my opinion that there would need to be a lot of trimming to revive the trees from a lifetime of neglect. The major issue is the wind damage to the trees and there were a lot of broken up branches everywhere. It was an error of the Chaplin to cut the trees in the Fall of 2013 as he did, although I'm convinced the trees will grow back since we already see much re -growth. So, I think at this point is to encourage the stubs that are left to continue to grow since the growth is already well established. Although, I suspect the Casurina trees are not the trees the City of SLO would recommend next to the city sidewalk. In addition, we propose to plant 6 Acacia shrubs a special variety from Native Sons Wholesale Nursery along the parkway where the existing Casurina trees are growing. Amongst the Grange members we love to garden and will look after all the plants. Love to talk about the issues and resolve it where it is good for everybody. Sincerely, Russee Parvin The Grange Chaplin (New Chaplin DL'D BUS NC5!S Zoo Z SAN LUIS OBISPO TREE COMMITTEE MEETING January 28, 2014 Response from San Luis Obispo Grange The current members of the San Luis Obispo Grange are proud of our organization and what we've been able to accomplish in the past year & half to re-establish the SLO Grange as a valuable community asset. And the current Officers, including myself, are saddened by the illegal and unauthorized tree removals. The tree removals were not authorized by the officers nor the executive committee of the SLO Grange. I received a phone call from fellow Granger Gus Thomason that Reggie Correia was cutting trees. I immediately rushed over to the Grange and we stopped further cutting. In a response to City Arborist Ron Combs, I explained that there was a great deal of frustration by some of our members who act as our volunteer maintenance staff. They had spent three stays cleaning out roots and repairing broken sewer lines damaged by tree roots. It was the weekend before the huge Thanksgiving feeding of 2500 people by the Grass Roots organization. Raw sewage was back -lowing into the kitchen and bathrooms. They did all needed plumbing repairs and also wanted to solve the root of the problem by eliminating the invasive trees. They acted impulsively in the moment and have put the Grange in jeopardy. Several months ago, the local San Luis Obispo Permaculture Guild put together a landscaping plan for the SLO Grange as part of our Hall rehabilitation project. It's a great plan, but our members are working on a formal Landscaping Plan headed up by member Russee Parvin—a landscape contractor formerly of Santa Cruz. Now that we are dealing with the illegal tree removal—we plan to add numerous City -approved trees to the plan—trees that are better suited to the site. Unfortunately, the SLO Grange is also just now emerging from near bankruptcy. When I took over as President Last January, we owed back property taxes, our insurance had been cancelled, our utilities were in arrears and threatened cut-off. Since then we are now current on all bills and with current earnings and generous donations from members have signed an agreement to remove asbestos from our main meeting hall, scheduled for February loth. Members are also willing to donate funds to purchase replacement trees and to upgrade our irrigation system to support the trees and some new landscaping improvements. However, absent the donations from members, the SLO Grange has no cash reserves at this time and is dependent on current and future rental income and fund-raisers. In addition, we plan to raise additional funds in October 2014 when we host the 2014 California State Grange Convention in San Luis Obispo. The SLO Grange is committed to working with the Tree Committee to right the wrong that was committed. We respectfully ask that any fines contemplated by the committee be kept to a minimum so that we can re-establish new, replacement trees according to our new landscaping plan, which we will submit to the Committee for approval. Thank -You for your consideration, _.. s Eric Michielsssen Master/ President San Luis Obispo Grange #639 (805) 441-3438
