It is hard to say, that tree does have a locality of competing branches. And when we do prune the trees, we prune the trees to enhance the structure pushp and at times we will thin out some of those stems. It could be partly because the Property Owner has been staying on top with this particular tree and making sure that it is kind of pruned, and but no, no real obvious reason, other than sometimes different trees develop larger stems do you approve the canopy or does the city just let them grow. The city staff do thin and prune the canopy of the tree, we may keep a limb and just thin out the secondary branches, so when they did the roots in the repair, did they prune the tree at that time and that canopy at that time . It was no longer, that was a comment and a practice for many years, the thought that if you prune the roots you should prune the canopy and remove that off of the canopy of the tree to offset the loss of the roots but scientifically that has been not bourn out in the pu
Lift species that is an olive brush tree and i am not sure why that tree is there and how that tree got planted but it does not match the rest of the trees on the blk, but most of the trees on the block, all of the other trees match this subject tree species which is the new Zealand Christmas tree and, these are the patterns that we see in the middle and on to the right. Why is the subject tree so much smaller than the tree on the right of the property . Considering that they probably were planted at the same time correct . Correct.

Tried to reserve for pretty extreme Public Safety concerns. And we are sympathetic to the Property Owners concern that if the tree damages the sidewalk again, how long will it take the city to repair or make those repairs . Thank you. Are there no specific health issuewise this tree right . No specific healthy issues, the bigger the canopy and good and it can handle a lot of wind and fog and very few cases of root failures in this species. And the repairs that have been made to the sidewalk, involved pretty routine pruning by the dpw cement shop. Your photo the tree for the adjacent property, looks smaller, has that been, is that a newer tree . That is correct, that is a lift species that is an olive brush tree and i am not sure why that tree is there and how that tree got planted but it does not match the rest of the trees on the blk, but most of the trees on the block, all of the other trees match this subject tree species which is the new Zealand Christmas tree and, these are the pa

Have certain rights, and i dont think that those rights should be infringed upon by someone who is adding something that enhances their own business. I am not supportive of this variance. And i would have hoped that they would find some way of negotiating a reasonable settlement, rather than have us take such a droconian action. Assuming that we take. Assuming there is support. I concur with the commissioner fung as the person from the public previously stated. You cant negotiate and come to the table with only one person does come to the table. And hearing from the other tenants that live in the building, it would be really unacceptable to have things vibrate throughout the day all day. If i happened to live there and so i am also not supporting the variance at all. Any comments . This is a tough one for me, because i completely understand what the City Attorney is saying. But it is hard to get around the fact that this woman has lived in this place for so long, and yet did not have t
