Re: Raised sidewalk at 711 S. 12th Avenue
Date: November 12, 1999
The Tree of Heaven located at 711 S. 12th Avenue has outgrown its planting site and its
roots have buckled the sidewalk and curb. Due to the severity of buckling and close
proximity of the sidewalk, root pruning would not be feasible. This tree does not meet the
criteria for which I can authorize removal. My recommendation is to contact the City
Manager's office to have item placed on agenda upcoming for city Council meeting.
