Increase would be a 24 inch box size tree. Certainly at a minimum i would say approval with a single 24 inch box tree at a bear minimum would be recommended. The next step up is a 36 inch box size tree. Requires a little bit of a small crane or knuckle boom, actually, to plant that. Its a heavy amount of soil in a container. That said, if the palms are going to be relocated there could be equipment thats there to take out existing palms, maybe a different contractor is planning the replacement. One possibility would be replanting with a 36 inch box tree just to bump up. Give an idea from a very basic to a 36, how long of a timeframe of general maintenance would that be . A couple years growth so not a very significant difference between a 24 and 36 inch box treez. On a recent project here in the city one of your inspectors indicated that was the standard now. 26 inch is now the standard for all planning code for new driveways so 24 inch box is a minimum.

Thank you. Have you looked into the cost of relocation of these trees . Wech. We have. Last time i moved two fully mature palms stored them and moved them back after the project was completed 50,000. Wasnt that high, but we have a palm tree remover who will remove the trees for us for a very reasonable price. He would then sell them to somebody else and make money that way so that okay. From a financial standpoint theres an option to donate them at a higher cost. But open for negotiation. Thank you. Mr. Buck, any rebuttal . Chris buck, urban forestry. No rebuttal at this time. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioners the matters submitted. Should i start . Sure. Okay. Im not a fan of the red flower plum mr. Buck and i have had conversations regarding that, i do think there is some serious overcrowding in this planter.
