Recommendation going to council
After hours of sometimes heated debates, an ad hoc committee that was formed to recommend changes to the citys tree protection laws has reached a verdict.
The citizen-led committee was formed by the Thousand Oaks City Council after the removal of scores of trees from Westlake Plaza last spring ignited public outrage.
A moratorium on sections of the tree law expires in May. The committees suggestions will be considered by the planning commission and the City Council before that time.
The group voted 6-4 on Jan. 20 to recommend that owner-planted exemptions for the removal of oak trees only be granted to requests from single-family residential properties, not commercial, and for not more than three trees.
Requests for more than three exemptions would require review by the planning commission.
For trees in parking areas, the committee recommended that any request for removal or relocation of more than three oak trees or more than five landmark trees be considered by the planning commission, regardless of whether the trees are indigenous or nursery grown.
Requests for removal or relocation of more than five protected landmark trees should be reviewed by the planning commission. City staff may review requests to remove five or fewer.
On Tuesday, committee members engaged in a two-hour tugof war as some defended the rights of property owners to cut down trees they planted themselves and expressed concern that too-strict laws would deter people from planting oak trees. Others feared that the recommendations would fail to protect enough trees.
Its a tough decision because there are people who dont want to see any oak trees removed, committee member Judy Lazar told the Acorn after the meeting. On the other hand, you want to have reasonable use of private property. I think (the decision) is a good compromise.

CHICO, Calif. -
PG&E presented the reasons Wednesday why trees lining the street near an Oroville cemetery have to be removed.
According to PG&E there are areas they have neglected for too long. The right away, which is the area directly above the pipelines have not been cared for as they should.
"We have allowed structures, patios, swimming pools and vegetation to exist very near and on top of our pipeline," said Chauna Moreland, director of gas safety program. "It's simply not acceptable, and we take full responsibility for that."
PG&E said they know trees near pipelines can be a risk to their employees and first responders, especially if they need to access a pipe in an emergency. They also know that third parties may dig into the pipe.
"What we didn't know, and were not aware of, is what roots are doing underneath the ground," explained Moreland.
The company conducted a study and found roots damage their pipeline by corroding them and leaving imprints.
"We know all those other items, trees are a risk to the pipeline, now we know roots interact with the pipelines as well," said Moreland.
Talk of relocating the pipeline across the street had been mentioned, but PG&E said it will take more time and effort, as well as have a serious impact on the community.
"It disrupts the community in terms of having to dig up streets and do additional construction activity," said Christine Cowsert Chapman, senior director of engineer gas operations.

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJBK) -
A utility company chopped down trees to protect power lines but one resident calling it malicious has filed a lawsuit.
With the damage to her landscape done, Inge Gray and her attorney Geoffrey Fieger says DTE Energy and tree removal company Davey Tree have to pay.
The Bloomfield Township homeowner filed suit for $54 million for unlawful destruction. A number that Gray said comes when you add up the scope of the damage.
"The amount of trees they took, the age of the trees, the species of the trees, how it affects everyone's property value," Gray said.
It is a story you first saw on FOX 2 in December when 100-year-old trees in the back of her home off Kensington Road were completely removed.
In December, DTE had this to say:
"About half of the outages that we have on the electrical system come from trees," said Trevor Lauer, senior vice-president at DTE. "And the number one goal of removing trees is to reduce the number of outages."
At the time Gray said they weren't told about the plan to completely remove the trees. a matter DTE addressed in December.
"Clearly we had some customers that do not feel that they were notified in the appropriate manner," Lauer said at the time. "And that's something that we can learn from."
