Dear Ron,
t
SLO CITY CLERK
Please forward this letter to the Tree Committee prior to their Monday, Oct. 23, 2017 meeting. Thank you!
Honorable Chair Loosley and Committee Members,
I am not a member of the Save Our Downtown group, but I am a 31 year resident and home -owner in the city of San Luis
Obispo.
And I have been struggling with the remarkably huge amount of tree removal that has occurred in the past couple of
years. Drought and safety issues, I am well -aware of, and know that sometimes decisions for tree removal can be very
difficult indeed.
What I have an immense problem with is removing healthy trees that are not causing any problems to the structural
environment, nor are a safety hazard.
In a continued drought scenario, why would the removal of healthy trees that are drought tolerant even be considered?
I received the email you were sent from Allan Cooper re: the proposed removal of trees at 435 Marsh St and 1266
Monterey Street.
I ask you earnestly to deny both petitions.
Sincerely,
Wendy Lucas
