A. APPEAL OF STAFF DECISION TO REMOVE A SWEETGUM TREE
LOCATED AT 9839 DAINES DRIVE
The Sweetgum tree, located in the public right of way at 9839 Daines Drive,
was included on the City's tree removal list for 2014 due to a claim that the
tree was interfering with the effectiveness of the resident's solar panels. The
adjacent property owner, at 9833 Daines Drive, appealed staff's decision to
remove the tree. Upon further investigation, staff determined that the
Sweetgum tree was not subject to the Solar Shade Control Act as it had been
planted well before the installation of the solar collectors. Staff
recommended the tree not be removed at this time. The Commission agreed
and approved the appeal.
B. APPEAL OF STAFF DECISION TO REMOVE A SYCAMORE TREE
LOCATED AT 5471 GOLDEN WEST AVENUE
The California Sycamore tree, located in the public right of way at 5471

decision to remove the tree. The Commission approved the appeal and
reversed staff's decision to remove the tree.
