Application
Application 7-U-81 (M), Symantec, 10201 Torre Avenue
Description
Minor modification to approved landscaping plan to remove two pine trees at an existing
office site.
Discussion
As provided in the enclosed arborist report and site plan, 2 pine trees are proposed for
removal. They are located on the north side of the parking lot of the existing Symantec
building. The arborist states that the problems are insufficient growing space and boring
insects and recommends removal.
The trees are large and provide important screening between the apartments to the north
and the Symantec site. Because of the arborist's recommendation, staff supports the
trees' removal, but will require replacement trees. The arborist recommends replanting
three trees, which are Tristania Conferta, "Brisbane Box." They are evergreen, medium to
large, moderate to fast growing, and resemble a madrone. He feels it is appropriate for a
parking lot and will provide adequate screening between the apartments and the
Symantec building.
Action
The Director approves the removal of the trees, with the following condition:
Three Tristania Conferta, 24" box, shall be planted in the parking island, as shown on the
site plan.
