of the property that were severely over -pruned. Hatracking means to flat -cut the top or sides of a
tree, severing the leader or leaders; to make internodal cuts; to prune a tree by stubbing off
mature wood larger than three inches in diameter, or reducing the total circumference of canopy
spread not in conformance with the current National Arborist Association standards. Severely
trimmed shall mean the cutting of the branches and/or trunk of a tree in a manner which will
substantially reduce the overall size of the tree area so as to destroy the existing symmetrical
appearance or natural shape of the tree in a manner which results in the removal of the main
lateral branches, leaving the trunk of the tree with a stub appearance. Compliance of This
Violation will be when the following is completed in its entirety: Plant three trees, that meet at
least the following criteria: Preferred Canopy tree, a minimum of 12 feet in height immediately
after planting, a minimum of 6 foot spread, a minimum of 3 inch caliper, 65 gallon container, FL
Grade 1 or better, the trees must be replaced in close proximity to the affected tree, and not
elsewhere on the property. If you remove the affected trees, a tree removal permit must be
submitted before removal.
David Ramnath, 1594 Muir Circle, stated that he has not touched the trees since he was before
the Board a couple months ago. He stated that he would do what the Board tells him to do, but he
feels he should at least be allowed to keep the tree that is to the right of the driveway because it
appears to be healthy.
Board member Bill Rini asked if the Respondent did not trim the tree on the right.
Mr. Ramnath stated that he did prune all three trees but the tree on the right has grown back more
than the other two trees have. He stated that he can understand replacing the two trees on the left,
but he feels the one on the right is still healthly.
Board member Alfred Mannella stated that after four months there is substantial growth on all
three trees.
Board member Ken Forte that he typically votes against making the Respondent remove the trees
because he does not see irreputable harm to the tree just because an arborist states that if you cut
it, it will not grow.
Chairman Dave Holt stated that if he lived across the street from this home the two trees on the
left would bother him, but the one on the right would not bother him.
City attorney Dan Mantzaris stated that the city code is written to not allow for topping or
hatracking. He stated that the Board's job is to enforce the code. He stated that staff would
agree that the two trees on the left are more damaged and if they choose to allow the tree to stay
on the right, staff would consider that as a reasonable solution to bring the property into
compliance.
