The City Manager requested a Closed Session at the-conclusion of
this meeting and another Closed Session at the conclusion of the
regular meeting this date,
Staff reported that an Arcadia resident at 2050 Canyon Road may
appear at the regular meeting tonight to address the Council
regarding a City parkway tree whose roots are damaging her
driveway. The Public Works Director explained that an Italian
stone pine, which is the tree in question, whose root system has
developed nodes is causing an upheaval in the concrete curbs and
gutters in this street, and in this particular case, the
homeowner's driveway, She is concerned about the driveway and
would like to have the tree removed. The City policy is to not
remove trees unless they are dead, diseased or a public hazard,
In the discussion about this section of Canyon Road, which is
lined with Italian stone pines, staff noted that this condition
could be alleviated after a pruning of the roots, and the
installation of a polypropoleen barrier which would last for five
to ten years. The City Manager suggested that Council tour this
street and take no action this evening. Councilman Harbicht said
he would be in favor of allowing the homeowner to remove the tree
and replace it with another tree at her expense, City staff
estimates the removal could cost approximately $1,000 and
replacement $300 to $400. The installation of the polypropoleen
barrier would cost around $100 plus labor according to staff,
Council will visit the area,
Councilman Harbicht noted that recently the Police Department and
employees Cindy Peele and Bill Tarin of the City Building
Division had received letters expressing appreciation for their
exceptional service, and suggested that Council express thanks
to the Police Department and Building Division employees also,
At 7:17 p,m. the Council entered a CLOSED SESSION, RECONVENED and
ADJOURNED SINE DIE at 7:30 p,m,
