We were retained to visit the property and determine if any trees considered protected by the City of Los Angeles Tree Preservation Ordinance No. 177,044 were present. The table on the following page sets forth the data for the three (3) private property trees and one off-site tree that were inventoried. None of the private property species are considered protected by the Ordinance. These three private property trees are proposed to be removed. The one off-site tree to the southwest of 4100 Sunset may require canopy pruning if equipment access will occur at this alley entrance to the property. Please feel welcome to contact me at our Santa Monica office if you have any immediate questions or concerns.
