COMPLAINT INFORMATION
What is your complaint?:
Duplicate Zoning/Tree--per online--. I observed
Tony's Tree Cutting Service cutting down a
cedar tree that is 3' in diameter, see pictures and
they did a second one of the same size when I was
not present See pictures. I and another
neighbor told the company that we believed that this
was not allowed without a permit as this tree was
a "tree of significance" to the neighborhood. They
refused to stop the cutting and it came down. There
was no permit posted at the site and I believe that
they lied when they said they had a permit. I spoke
to one of the workers in Spanish to be sure that he
understood what was going on and he did, but
said the company he worked for told him to do
it.
So they cut two trees both of 3' diameter. These two
trees easily could have been trimmed to create a
window and one along 105th was blocking no
view at all from the house in question. There is a
good reason for the ordinance. The reason
why I like this neighborhood is it is so
special for the trees that are here that provide
habitat, shade, and beauty, not to mention
they help with climate change. To me, this was
an outrage and the City should be enforcing the
law to the full extent, especially they did not
stop when told this was likely against the law.
Feel free to have the City
contact me. I have already made a verbal
complaint. I am very concerned that we will
lose the character of what we love here and valuable
habitat with all this
unnecessary and I believe illegal cutting. I saw more
than one neighbor talking to them and all were quite
disturbed. I would be happy to testify if I need to
do so for the City enforcement authorities.
This stuff really has to
stop.
