Either evergreen or something thats more what you think of when you think of a street tree so they stated that on their application. In terms of replacement size our bear minimum that we require if someone voluntarily wants to plant a tree is a 15 gallon tree, the next size up, which is a very basic modest 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 ...

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.

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. ...

Public works website. Were in the process of relinquishing maintenance to Property Owners to try to give the public a sense of what it costs to maintain an average street tree. I believe weve put in 500 every year or two so if you multiply that by four trees that would be 2,000. However, realistically i would currently estimate it would be a few hundred dollars to have someone snip off the lower prawns. What would be the big deal about removing them . The departments policy is typically if a tre...

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 ...

Ready to go to the 48 inch position and replace 4 to 4 but put in 5 this is what the forester asked for 5 sturdy trees in the black a. M. Cash i want to take a minute to respond to some of the comments from the speakers. We certainly agree with her that this is a Historic District it is with important architecture on a steep sleep that requires the 90 degree partnering but unfortunately results in the cars when necessary go into the spaces they tend to bump into the trees this is another situati...

Period. Warning signs and caution tape are noedge. She broke every traffic rule in the book. That is nothing. That is nothing. You didnt hear a thing you said, but it is great to be here. This is my favorite spot in San Francisco. Reporter like the call of the siren. Risking the danger of an ever shifting lands end. It is gorgeous near. Nature at her best. Reporter to experience the beauty of it. I talked to the u. S. Geological survey about the wisdom of having a path in a landslide area. If th...

Katrero weve identified 5 to 10 trees along oak and bell streets and really trying to target the largest fikdz trees and want to reiterate that our criteria is not a death sentence for ficus trees were going to identify them individually and if theyve been pruned to create better structure those removal applications may be denied its a case by case example. So my question since those have the potential limb failures being in the city i understand that ficus get north of 50 or 60 feet their jeffe...
