A. REQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF A HOLLY OAK (QUERCUS ILEX) TREE

Parks and Recreation Director Burroughs presented the staff report.
Eddie Coco, property owner addressed the Commission regarding
removal of the tree and the need to eliminate acorns from falling on his
driveway due to possible bodily injury.
Joanne Coco, property owner stated the tree is life threatening to their
health and causes her acute pain when stepped on even one acorn.
.Commissioner Rosso asked staff for the distance between the tree and
driveway.
Tree Trimmer Lead Worker Cruse said the tree is 15 to 20 feet from the
driveway and the canopy covers approximately 5 to 10 feet of the corner
of the driveway and sidewalk. The tree is between 50 — 55 years.
Commissioner Rosso asked if trimming the north side of the tree away
from the driveway would be an option.
Tree Trimmer Lead Worker Cruse stated that could be done but the
trimming should be scheduled during the summer.
Director Burroughs said staff would support the option of trimming the tree
away from the driveway to see if that would remedy or reduce the number
of acorns that land on the driveway.
Vice - Chairman Haddad concurred.
Commissioner Rosso moved to request staff to trim the Holly Oak tree
located in the parkway at 5349 Persimmon Avenue between July and
August 2014 away from the driveway to reduce or eliminate acorns from
dropping on the driveway, seconded by Vice - Chairman Haddad.
