Subject: Healthy Protected Tree Removal No. TRH 19-03
Project Address: 1751 Rodeo Road
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Schilz:
The public comment period for the Notice of Pending Decision for the above
mentioned application ended on June 4, 2019. Staff received one comment from
a neighbor, which stated concern with the unpermitted pruning and objected to
the permit to prevent further pruning from occurring. After consideration, the
Development Services Department has approved the request to permit the
unpermitted pruning of three Coast Live Oak trees. This approval is not for
additional pruning at this time or removal of the existing Oak trees, but provides
conditions of approval meant to encourage a healthy recovery of the trees.
Therefore, the permit is warranted and subject to the following conditions:
1. The three Coast Live Oak trees shall be monitored until July 2019. At that
point, a report from a certified arborist shall be submitted to provide an
analysis of the trees’ conditions. The certified arborist shall complete a
root crown excavation and inspection and provide further
recommendations based on the findings for the preservation of the trees.
2. At the end of the monitoring period (July 2019), the Oak trees shall be
evaluated by a certified arborist for restorative pruning.
3. The applicant shall install a three-inch layer of coarse, and diseased-free
mulch to root zone of all Oak trees.
4. The applicant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City of
Arcadia and its officials, officers, employees, and agents from and against
any claim, action, or proceeding against the City of Arcadia, its officials,
officers, employees or agents to attack, set aside, void, or annul any
approval or conditional approval of the City of Arcadia concerning this
project and/or land use decision, including but not limited to any approval
or conditional approval of the City Council, Planning Commission, or City
Staff, which action is brought within the time period provided for in
Government Code Section 66499.37 or other provision of law applicable
to this project or decision. The City shall promptly notify the applicant of
any claim, action, or proceeding concerning the project and/or land use
decision and the City shall cooperate fully in the defense of the matter.
The City reserves the right, at its own option, to choose its own attorney
to represent the City, its officials, officers, employees, and agents in the
defense of the matter.
