Appeal over seven Canary Island pines at Los Verdes Park II
The HOA wants seven Canary Island pines removed over root damage to streets, sidewalks, and plumbing; a resident appealed, arguing the trees are healthy and provide shade and owl habitat. The committee split the difference, sparing four perimeter trees and allowing three interior removals.
Tree removals with compensatory plantings
The project removes five trees — three for the expansion footprint and two dead or dying street trees — and plants 38 replacements. The Tree Committee holds its own hearing on October 26.
