AB #1196-3 STREET TREE SUBCOMMITTEE REPORT Chairman Schulberg provided the background on the item for the newer members of the Commission- He outlined the options which were contained in the Commissioners' packets. He mentioned that the City was willing to accept an increased risk of trees fatting over provided that the homeowners sign a Hold Harmless Agreement. Jim Wood. 3280 Donna Drive, Cartebad, recommended that the trees be trimmed moderately well before root pruning and explained why. He added that he would like to talk to the person who installs the root barrier to insure that there would be no surprises. Mr. Wood submitted a letter signed by him and his wife taking responsibility if any damage resulted to his property from the trees. 8&4S Parks and Recreation Commission 3 November 18,1996 Commissioner Pieratt arrived at 5:45 p.m. Lisa Cirrincione, 2071 Janis Way, Carlsbad, stated that she would like to see the City undertake a study on the sidewalk since she felt that the street was wide enough for one. She mentioned her concern about the trees surviving the trimming and said she that she would prefer a two-stage process for trimming the trees. Mrs. Cirrincione mentioned that she and her husband did not want to sign a Hold Harmless Agreement and explained why. Erin Letsch, Risk Manager, explained why a Hold Harmless Agreement was a good tool. Questions and discussion included the following issues: • The possibility of the Monterey Pine tree not surviving the root pruning • What would happen if only one couple signed a Hold Harmless Agreement with the City • The importance of the Cirrinciones knowing exactly how much root pruning would take place • The option of continuing as originally planned with the removal of the trees if the Hold Harmless Agreement was not signed by both parties. Further discussion ensued including the following: • The Cirrinciones were willing to go along with the same conditions as the Woods • The difference in the root structures of the two trees • The importance of the City preparing the Hold Harmless Agreement Commissioner Baker made a motion to accept the recommendation to reprune and install a bio barrier on the two properties on Donna Drive and Janis Drive as discussed with the understanding that both parties will sign a Hold Harmless Agreement that will be prepared by the Risk Management Department, in the absence of a Hold Harmless Agreement, the City would proceed as originally planned with the removal of the trees and revert back to the installation of a new curb and gutter as part the overall street overlay project along Donna Drive The motion was amended to include a 30 day time period limit. 06 t- HUM l MBt Ul -41 ••Stffa i T <G19 455 8845 199G.12-O5 07--S8 P .
