AGENDA TITLE: Approve Removal of Three Trees at 1345 West Kettleman Lane in
Conjunction with Animal Shelter Arts Project
MEETING DATE: February 20,2008
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the removal of three trees at 1345 West Kettleman Lane in
conjunctionwith the Animal ShelterArts project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The animal shelter volunteer group —PALS —received City Council
approval and PublicArt Fund funding in 2007 for an art mural to be
located at the City animal shelter at 1345 West Kettleman Lane.
When the proposed art was reviewed with the Arts Advisory Board,
there was some understanding that tree removal would be necessary. However, that detail was not
described in the staff report to the City Council as part of the Arts Fund approval, and to be complete in
the project description, this detail is being brought back to the Council. Now that the panels on which the
art work will be painted have been installed, it is clear that three trees should be removed to provide good
visibility, particularly as the trees leaf out in the Spring (see attached photos).
The trees would be removed by PALS at no cost to the City as part of the fence work they propose to do
along the front of the shelter/MSC for a dog walking area. This work will also include some additional
landscaping treatment along the frontage.
FISCAL IMPACT:
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
There would be a minor decrease in future tree maintenance costs.
