Tree removal at 327 Los Cerros Drive (TREE-0009-2026)
Summary
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.

Impact analysis
The applicant must fund planting and establishing six replacement trees in exchange for removing one eucalyptus.
The homeowners get the hazardous leaning tree addressed while the neighborhood keeps the two remaining mature trees plus new plantings.
The neighbor reporting limb damage from the two retained trees will have to rely on maintenance and a possible future hazard application.
