NOTICE OF PENDING DECISION IS HEREBY GIVEN that the owner of the subject property
is requesting to remove three (3) protected trees. You have the opportunity to comment on the
project described below prior to the City making a decision.
A.California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15061(b)(3) the removal of a
protected tree would not adversely change the environment.
B.Protected Healthy Tree Removal Application No. TRH 26-04
Project Description: The Applicant is requesting to remove three (3) mature protected trees;
two (2) Deodar Cedar trees and one (1) Coast Redwood tree located within the street side
setback along the street frontage of Colorado Boulevard. The Certified Arborist originally had
determined in the original arborist report that excavation for a retaining wall within proximity of
the trees and along the street frontage of Colorado Boulevard would not interfere with the
trees. However, the Arborist has now determined that excavation for the wall will encroach into
each tree’s root crown and would eliminate structural roots from each of the trees causing
them to ultimately be structurally unstable. Alternative designs for the retaining wall were
evaluated with each design resulting in potential tree failure due to the removal of structural
roots from the trees (refer to the Arborist Report). As evaluated by a Certified Arborist, the
protected tree removal is proposed to be mitigated with the planting of four (4) 36 -inch box
Chinese Pistache trees and one (1) 60-inch box Coast Live Oak tree within proximity to the
street frontage of Colorado Boulevard.
