Reason(s) for Tree Removal:  Removal permit 795254, staff approved the removal of two street trees in the 9' right of way that are serving as large shrubbery to screen the garage structure. The width and form of the trees has grown so much that they make it difficult for the owner to back in and out of the driveway and maintain visual contact of pedestrians using the throughway. The two large shrubs significantly block the sight line for driveway egress and the sidewalk path of travel is frequently used by pedestrians. Staff approved removal to help mitigate this safety concern. A street tree will be replaced by owner at the curb side location and this will make the path of travel pattern more consistent with the block as an upgrade. The property owner is eager to replace the large shrubs with a canopy tree.
