TREE-0009-2026 — 327 Los Cerros Dr
Description
An application to remove three lemon-scented gum trees at 327 Los Cerros Dr, backed by an arborist report and a replanting plan.
Impact summary
The hazardous leaning tree can come down if the director signs off, and the yard gains six new trees — but the neighbor's limb-damage complaints about the two remaining trees go unaddressed for now.

Fraudulent emails impersonating city officials
A scammer sent the Los Cerros applicant fake emails appearing to come from Chair Ben Parker, claiming the application was approved and requesting a wire transfer. Staff warned that legitimate city email only comes from slocity.org addresses and that the city will never ask for wire transfers.
Tree removal at 327 Los Cerros Drive (TREE-0009-2026)
The owners of a high fire-hazard-zone property wanted three lemon-scented gums gone, citing a leaning tree and fallen limbs on a neighbor's car. The committee approved removing only the leaning tree, with a generous six-tree replanting requirement, and flagged allegations of past unpermitted clearing — which staff investigated and did not substantiate.
