RESOLUTION NO. 4425
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS
APPROVING LANDMARK TREE REMOVAL PERMIT NO. 94 -2, WITH CONDITIONS
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CYPRESS HEREBY FINDS, RESOLVES,
DETERMINES, AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
1. That an application was filed for a landmark tree removal permit in accordance
with the provisions of Section 17 -19 of the City Code of the City of Cypress to allow the
removal of fourteen (14) Landmark Trees located at 4921 Katella Avenue, within the PS Public
and Semi - Public Zone.
2. That the City Council considered said application as a New Business item on
December 12, 1994.
3. That the City Council hereby finds that:
(a) The condition of the subject fourteen (14) Landmark Trees with respect
to disease, general health, danger of falling, proximity to existing or proposed structures,
and interference with utility service, warrants the removal of said trees because they were
found to be diseased, dying, and in danger of falling.
(b) Based on the topography of the land surrounding the subject Landmark
Trees, the removal of said trees will not result in increased erosion, decreased soil
retention, and diversion or increased flow of surface waters because the project area
contains a golf course containing a large amount of turf, trees, and other plant materials.
(c) The proposed removal of the subject fourteen (14) Landmark Trees will
not reduce the number of trees to below the required number of Landmark Trees within
the Cypress Business and Professional Center Specific Plan area, therefore the proposed
removals will not create an adverse effect on the subject or surrounding areas.
(d) The proposed Landmark Tree removals will preserve the public health,
safety, prosperity, and general welfare in the area because the subject trees are diseased,
dying, and in danger of falling.
(e) The subject Landmark Trees were found to be infested by the Long- Horned
Borer Beetle, not as the result of inadequate landscaping or forestry practices.
(f) After the proposed removal of fourteen (14) Landmark Trees,the subject
property will contain 53 Landmark Trees over the required number and would, therefore,
not require the replacement of the subject trees.
(g) The public works and the recreation and parks departments of the City
were consulted and their recommendations are incorporated into the conditions of
approval for Landmark Tree Removal Permit No. 94 -2.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City
of Cypress does hereby approve Landmark Tree Removal Permit No. 94 -2, subject to the
following conditions attached hereto as Exhibit "A."
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Cypress at a regular
