The line of trees inside the airport fence by Mullis Street only appeared to be a good distance from the runway.

By FAA standards, they were not.

The Port of Friday Harbor recently had those trees cut down to comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations requiring any object that penetrates the so-called "approach surfaces" of an airport to be either lighted, marked or removed.

The trees beside the fence near Mullis Street were among those identified in a recent safety inspection as obstructions in approach surfaces in or around the airport. Other trees are expected to be either topped or removed, according to the port.

Removal of the line of trees along the fence is part of a first phase of a comprehensive effort of tree topping or removal for the sake of airport safety and in order to satisfy FAA regulations, the port noted in a press release.

Airport Manager David Ryan said approach surfaces can be difficult to visualize, but are identified as those areas at either end of the runway, as well as a certain distance on either side.

"There are all kinds of 'imaginary surfaces' the FAA considers on approaches to airports," Ryan said. " its kind of like the runway is an elongated stadium with imaginary bleachers rising to the sides and ends. These are the imaginary surfaces that have to be kept clear of obstacles."

Ryan noted compliance standards for maintaining approach surfaces are outlined in an FAA document called FAR Part 77, "Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace."

Only those trees that jeopardize safe operation of the airport will be topped or taken down, the port noted in its press release.

SAN LORENZO -- Randy Waage had heard PG&E was going to cut down some trees on the southwest side of the Duck Pond park, but the barren view afterward stunned him.

"It's pretty much decimated the area," the San Lorenzo resident said. "It really changes the landscape of the park."

The power company began removing dozens of trees at the park in February, part of a program to clear obstructions from its 6,750-miles of natural gas pipelines from Bakersfield to Eureka, said Tamar Sarkissian, Pacific Gas & Electric spokeswoman.

PG&E took out 69 mature eucalyptus, privet, bottlebrush and pine trees that were in its right of way along railroad tracks next to the park, formally called San Lorenzo Community Park.

The park district had no say in the trees being removed, said Larry Lepore, parks superintendent at the Hayward Area Recreation and Park District. However, the district planned to remove the trees as part of a park upgrade plan, he said.

At the park district's request, PG&E also took out 35 trees that the district tagged in its park master plan and pruned some others.

San Lorenzo resident Michelle Clowser knew the trees would come out eventually, but she had not expected it so soon.

"I was very surprised after the fact; it looks like a different park."

PG&E's program -- Pipeline Pathways -- comes in the aftermath of the 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline explosion that killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.

"Since San Bruno, we have been taking great measures to ensure the safety of our pipeline system," Sarkissian said. In addition to clearing its gas transmission pipeline right of way, the utility is surveying for leaks, testing pipe strength, inspecting the lines with cameras and automating valves.

San Lorenzo: PG&E cuts down dozens of trees at Duck Pond park

BERNARDSVILLE The complex and emotional battle over plans to cut down an estimated 250 trees at Bernards High School for an athletic field expansion is reaching a critical juncture, with opponents working feverishly to block the project.

If their legal efforts fail, the trees could be chopped down as soon as this month.

Representatives for Active Citizens for Responsible Sustainability Inc. (ACRES) appeared before the Board of Adjustment Monday night seeking an interpretation on jurisdictional issues involving the field proposal by the Somerset Hills Regional Board of Education. But after several hours of intense debate, the zoning board rejected its arguments.

The evidence I have seen is that we do not have jurisdiction, said Board of Adjustment Attorney Scott Parente.

ACRES is seeking a site plan review of the application by the zoners. Concerned about drainage and other environmental issues, they see the field expansion as an intensification of a non-conforming use in a residential zone.

During a convoluted, sometimes heated discussion, the board debated whether the tree removal should trigger a site plan review, even though no formal application had been filed by the school district.

ACRES wants to see a different field alignment which the group claims would save hundreds of trees and thousands of dollars.

Some zoning board members wanted additional time to review the matter Monday, but the school board, which is facing a March 15 federal moratorium on tree cutting that could delay the project several more months, pushed for a decision.

Were in a terrible position, Board of Education Attorney Richard Cushing said.

Huge tree crashes down in Highcliffe churchyard damaging a number of gravestones

12:00pm Thursday 6th March 2014 in News

A HUGE tree which came crashing down at a graveyard in Highcliffe following the heavy storms is being prepared for removal.

The 40ft oak has damaged a number of gravestones at St Marks churchyard and the groundsman, Philip Buxton said he is eager for it to be removed as soon as possible so relatives of the deceased are spared any further upset.

Mr Buxton said the tree must have come down on either February 20 or 21, a week after torrential rain and gale force winds up to 70mph sent trees to the ground and caused flooding throughout the area. The church has now hired contractors and Mr Buxton said he is planning the safest way to remove the tree, which is currently resting across several gravestones.

Mr Buxton added: We have had small trees come down in the past but nothing as big as this one.
