Subject:Yes ! ...on proposed Reach Codes
I support the proposed voluntary reach codes. Related to the City’s clean energy goals, the City Council needs to
evaluate the broad criteria that the overzealous Tree Committee uses to deny countless applications. I’m installing solar
system and I was denied a permit to remove a tree that has caused significant root damage to sidewalk and subsurface
utilities and is decaying at a critical structural point. Please explore tree removal exception (for nuisance / diseased
trees) for improving solar access for residential solar power projects, perhaps with 2 to 1 tree replacement mitigation, or
small fee for Parks Dept. to add a tree to a neighboring City park.
