Installation of solar power Inspired by our Cities goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2035, we are scheduled to install solar power on the south face of our roof in September. During the on-site solar analysis, it was determined that the shade cast by the Tipuana tree would significantly limit our ability to generate power. 2. Structural concerns The crotch of the tree has a cavity at head height that is trapping water and debris. From a structural standpoint, it's possible that the tree will split at this point during a strong wind event. We are concerned about the potential damage to our home, parked cars and streetlight. 3. Health of Tree The tree has been in a steady decline in recent years. I suspect partially due to the heavy insect infestation, which is evident by small dropping debris found on our vehicles on a regular basis. 4. Aggressive surface roots The surface roots are damaging the new sidewalk treatment, and the roadway has been reconstructed because of surface root damage. Significant vertical separation has occurred on the sidewalk, resulting in a tripping hazard. The street gutter is holding back water, which in turn, eventually 'feeds' the surface roots as the water slowing passes through the gaps between the gutter and asphalt, which only encourages the surface roots to expand. 5. Canopy conflict with street light The canopy of the tree is in conflict with effective street lighting.

The members in attendance gave input about which trees they would like to see stay and which trees were too close to the buildings and sidewalks causing damage to either hardscape, landscape irrigation or home water services. There was a round table discussion about replacement tree plantings, timing of work and the impact on the water usage for the complex. The board then instructed Jim Burrows of JBLA Landscape Architects to procure the necessary permits from the City of San Luis Obispo to begin the tree removal process.
