PLANNING ACTION: PA-2017-01488
SUBJECT PROPERTY:           1373 Tolman Cr. Rd.
OWNER/APPLICANT: Ron Rezek/Clason Company LLC
DESCRIPTION:           A request for a Tree Removal Permit to remove one tree from the property located at 1373 Tolman Creek Road. The tree was originally identified to be preserved and protected when the parent property at 1365 Tolman Creek Road was subdivided (PA #2016-01029).   The tree, a 30-inch diameter at breast height (d.b.h) Ponderosa Pine was originally noted to be in fair condition when assessed for the subdivision, however subsequent examination by a certified arborist has determined that the tree has extensive decay, with infestation by ants, sequoia pitch moths and ips boring beatles, and a lean to its trunk which poses a hazard to existing and proposed development of the property.

DESCRIPTION:           A request for a Tree Removal Permit to remove one tree from the property located at 1651 Ashland Street.
