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 tree is relatively healthy and sustainable to keep the tree in place. The smaller palm is less concerning, its unusual. Theyre not creating a problem, not impeding the public right of way. The trees are young so dont have required clearance over the tree. We dont expect a young treel to have 14 feet of clearance, but eventually theyll have required clearance over the sidewalk so our reluctance to approve stems from the fact that if we let everyone remove their trees now and start over with new tree
Bruce wolf said and that should be included in the legislation and then for on future agenda items when you do have your next joint meeting with the sf puc this is just kind of a point of information especially i think the supervisors might be clued in on this but the public members i want to make sure you know about it. In the scott wiener london breed legislation that cleared authorizes the puc to sell express hetch hetchy power in the city to make money and Bring Clean Energy to the city. Originally when that legislation was drafted in july it did not include making cleanpowersf a priority customer of that power, and thankfully advocates approached supervisor wieners aid and they graciously included an amendment that makes it clear that yes cleanpowersf is in the queue by that power and that is very important. Even if cleanpowersf buys that power at full retail rate there are benefits from that because it helps we were discussing the wind power, solar power doesnt happen to be worki
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. I dont necessarily believe that all of them should believe removed and replaced by one tree, but at a minimum two of these need to go away. One is definitely in the pedestrian
That it totally did not account for a 10 to 20kilometer down wind blowing on these materials its absolutely ridiculous to think that we could do an implosion in an urban area and think its a safe and good idea. So this quote goes on to say that could extend 10 or 20 kilometers down wind suggests that implosions that implosions should be prohibited in metropolitan areas. We should not do these kinds of implosions in metropolitan areas period.
