1VIs. Randall stated that in her professional opiniosz, the sequoia tree was damaged beyond
repair and will fail. She recomnaendcd that the tree be removed, the stuz-np ground, and
be replaced with an equivalent number of trees that will pez-form what tl~e sequoia would
have had it been preserved. Ms. Randall felt that the value of 16 trees as stated in her
report which was distributed prior to the meeting may be a bit excessive for the sire of
the properties that are affected. In addition, Ms. Randall volunteered to work with tl~c
property owners involved to plant an adequate number of trees on each property in tl~e
subdivision with any remaining trees conta-ibuted to the Parks & Recreation Department
for planting in a public park. Commissioners requested that the trees be monitored for a
period of two years to ensure that they are kept alive. Matt Samitore, Development
Services Coordinator suggested as well that certificates of final occupancy be withheld
until trees are planted on the lots in the Lone Redwood Grove.
Chuck Pilaz~d made a motion to allow the developer of Lone Redwood Grove
to remove the damaged sequoia tree in the subdivision and replace the same
with appropriate trees and landscape materials to be replanted at the site
pursuant to the recommendations of Patricia Randall, an ISA Certified
Arborist, The City of Central Point will monitor these trees for a period of
two years to ensure that they are kept alive, If there is a credit still due from
the developer to the City, the credit will be used to plant additional trees ixr
City parks. Damian Idiart seconded tl~e motion. RC}LL CALL: Idiart, yes;
Beck, yes; Piland, yes; Hurley, yes. Motion passed.
Roy Parmenter, a property owner in the subdivision, came forward. Matt Samitore,
