RECOMMENDATION(S):

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of Department of Conservation and Development to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director or designee to arrange for payment of a $25 fee to the Department of Conservation and Development for processing, and a $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing the Notice of Exemption.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Estimated Project cost: $123,000. 100% LL2 Zone 18 - Pacheco Manor Fund (Fund 284300).

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to remove and replace landscape trees. The project consists of removing 18 existing non-native pine trees from the landscape strip along Pacheco Boulevard at Pacheco Manor, and replacing them with trees that are more suitable for the location. Excavation of up to two feet deep is required for root removal. Uplifted portions of the sidewalk will be repaired.

Contra Costa Public Works Department (CCCPWD) has received several calls from Pacheco Manor residents about concerns associated with the existing trees. CCCPWD plans on replacing the trees with PG&E recommended trees that will not grow into the power line. Pacheco Manor residents were notified on June 5, 2019 about the project and invited to help choose replacement trees from the recommended list at an upcoming public meeting. The meeting was be held on July 10, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. at the Pacheco Community Center, 5800 Pacheco Boulevard, in Pacheco.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Delay in approving the project may result in a delay of design, construction, and may jeopardize funding.
