Subject: 49 Palomar proposed tree removal
Dear Advisory Board Members,
We are writing to express our concern over the proposal to remove 49 mature trees from the 71 Palomar
property. We have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years and have seen the uneven policies applied toward historic
properties and wildlife corridors. In this case, we think that removing so many mature trees, not to mention
disturbing such a historic house and intact neighborhood, is not justified. The small increase in the number of
student housing units does not match the incredible loss on many levels that this would bring to the neighborhood
In addition, we would like to know why the original tree report was removed from the Advisory's agenda.
Thank you for your consideration of our concerns.
Sincerely,
Nancy Rucci and Geoffrey Land
