 Update: Eucalyptus Tree Removal Begins Monday
1715 Easton Drive
The City owned eucalyptus tree at 1715
Easton
Drive is scheduled to be removed by West Coast Arborist, Inc. who has been contracted by the City of Burlingame to perform the tree removal and stump grinding.
The tree will be removed starting Monday, October 17, and will take a few days to complete. The scope of work will include the use of large equipment and partial street closures. Adjacent property owner(s) have received notification of this decision.
The City Arborist inspected the tree and noticed decay in the trunk and overall decline in the health of the tree. The City Arborist then had the tree tested by an independent arborist and it was determined to have advanced decay at the base of the trunk. The drill test performed indicated that there is only 5-12 inches of sound wood around the base of the tree causing the tree to become a known potential hazard.
The removal of this tree is based on Chapter 11.04.020 of the Street Trees Ordinance (Burlingame Municipal Code Chapter 11.04). If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Parks Division at (650) 558-7330.
