a large cottonwood (22" diameter),
appears to be leaning significantly over the Lindenaur property and home. Mr. Bryce Landrud, an ISA
Certified Arborist, has determined that the root system may be lifting, and therefore, endangering the
Lindenauer residence. Because the tree is located within an open space tract, which is reserved for the
preservation of green space, any modification to it is subject to review by the Department. I
Decision

Pursuant to Mr. Landrud's recommendation, the city hereby authorizes the removal of the above -

Analysis of Interpretation
The hazardous tree in question is located on public property within West Coast Campus #2. This is an
open space tract which is reserved for the preservation of green space. Given the recommendation of Mr.

Subject: Tree removal request
I notified Thundering Oak to perform an assessment of a City greenbelt behind
and adjacent homeowner to the Lindenauer residence; located at 32701 5th Ave.
SW. While inspecting the greenbelt he noticed a cottonwood that we have been
monitoring behind the Lindenauer's. Bryce reports that it is leaning more than the
last inspection. Due to the large size and potential target we are recommending
removal of this cottonwood tree ASAP.
Please see attached assessment of which I am in agreement and seek
permission to handle the tree as recommended by Bryce Landrud a Certified
Arborist contracted with the City.

Hi Steve,
I was at the Matlick residence recently and noticed the remaining cottonwood next to the fence
behind the above property (2/2012 work performed). This cottonwood (22" diameter), though
free of ivy, now appears to be leaning significantly to the south, over the fence, back yard and
even roof. I'm pretty certain this was not the case two years ago - and examination of the roo-1
zone looks as though it may be lifting.
Literally anything that falls from this tree will land on the Lindenauer property; I believe it
would be most prudent to remove it.

I've read the report and agree with the recommendation to remove the tree. Given the potential for imminent harm
consider this email an approval to remove the tree. We will follow up with a written approval letter.
