PB &R Commission Agenda
Item No. 5
January 3, 2006
TO: Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
FROM: General Services Director
SUBJECT: City Street Tree Designation Change
Recommendation
Approve the Magnolia Tree (Magnolia grandiflora) as the newly designated street tree for
Dover Drive, between West Pacific Coast Highway and Westcliff Drive.
Background
The City Street Tree Designation List was adopted by the City Council in May 2000
(Attachment A) after a thorough review by the Parks, Beaches, and Recreation (PB &R)
• Commission. The list designates specific species of trees for future planting in parkways
and /or medians of a City street to promote uniformity of the street treescapes.
The Street Tree Designation List is maintained and reviewed on an annual basis by City staff
in accordance with Ordinance 13.08.020 (Official Tree List) and City Council Policy G -6
(Maintenance and Planting of Parkway Trees). Any changes, recommendations, or resident
requests for changes are forwarded to the PB &R Commission for action.
Discussion
Mayor Don Webb had requested to meet staff onsite to determine if a change of the designated
street tree was required due to the failure of the Coral Gum trees (Attachment B), as well as to
find a tree that matches the growth habit of the Ficus that were originally planted.
The eastside of Dover Drive adjacent to Bob Henry Park currently has 22 Coral Gum trees
which were planted in 1997. Several of the trees have been replaced over the last four years
because they have died or failed to grow. Staff believes that these trees are not adapting to
this coastal climate zone. Staff has tried several methods to ensure survival of these trees
including injecting fertilizer and pesticides into the ground surrounding the root balls, as well
as adding supplemental water during the warm months. Since the trees were planted, they
have performed poorly and have not adapted well to the area. Staff agrees that the Magnolia
variety of trees would perform better within the turf and automated irrigation. Information
. regarding the Magnolia tree is attached (Attachment Q.
