tree preservation permit applications are received. The six and eight day time periods will begin from the date of contact. Criteria for permit approval: Pruning: The proposed pruning conforms to the International Society of Arboriculture pruning guidelines or the ANSI A-300 Pruning Standards. The work is appropriate, necessary or resolves the concerns of the situation. The tree company has a valid Redwood City Business License. Removal: The tree is dead, dying or structurally unsound. The tree is causing damage to property and the damage cannot be mitigated in any appropriate method without causing the removal of the tree. The property is being developed in a reasonable manner, all permits for construction are in order and the tree cannot survive the proposed development. Recommendation: The recommendation shall be presented to the City in writing within eight working days of the City's receipt of the permit application. Pruning: The format of the recommendation shall include the written recommendation, the permit application, any other beneficial information. In the event of a denial recommendation - a copy of the inspection sheet and a photograph shall be presented to the City. Tree pruning permit inspections require a site inspection, contact with the property owner in the event that the proposed pruning is not clear, information provided on the permit application is not clear, access is needed to inspect the tree or other information is needed. Removal: The format of the recommendation shall include the written recommendation, the permit application, copy of the inspection sheet, photograph, replanting recommendation and any other useful information found while performing the inspection. In the event of an approval recommendation, planting a replacement tree will be a condition of the removal (if there is adequate space on the property to reasonably plant a tree in an appropriate location). In the event of a denial recommendation, the justification of how to mitigate to alleviate the concerns stated without removing the tree, other supporting information to reasonably deny the permit request and minimally a reasonable alternative to tree removal shall be provided.
