tree policies as set forth by the Commission.
Policy:
The following policies are established to guide the planning, planting,
maintenance, removal and relocation of City of West Covina street trees.
They are expressly designed to constitute the maximum program of care
for the West Covina street tree system.
Trees are beneficial and desirable for their beauty, unifying influence,

manage the tree system. To this end, the Commission shall develop and
adopt policies governing the management of all street trees. within the
City of West Covina, and the subsequent care and maintenance necessary
for their perpetuation.
I. TREE PLANTING
A. General
The Commission shall be the responsible authority -for
determining the appropriate species or variety of trees
planted within the public street rights -of -way or ease-
ments.
B. Specific Planting Policies

n
2. All lots that are zoned R/A or R-1 are entitled/re-
quired to have one street tree on each public street
frontage unless the area between the back of curb
and the right-of-way line including existing or future
sidewalk preclude the planting of a street tree. For
R/A.or R-1 lots having street frontages in excess of
• 90 feet, additional street trees subject to the ap-
proval of the Director may be required or planted.
3. If a resident owner of a lot that is zoned R/A or R-1
does not desire any street tree,. the Maintenance Direc-
tor may waive the requirement for a street tree and
shall note such waiver in a log book for any such
waivers to be permanently maintained by the Maintenance
Department.

frontage and no more than one street tree for every
thirty (30) feet of street frontage. Subject to the
foregoing restrictions, the street trees shall be as
nearly as possible uniformly spaced along the street
frontage unless the approved development plan speci-
fies differently.
5. If tree wells are required by a development plan, such
tree wells shall conform to the City Engineer's Stand-
ard Drawing No. A-138. -
6. The Maintenance Director shall designate which species
of trees are permitted upon each public street or por-
tions of each public street. (See Item 1) No tree shall
be planted in the public right-of-way that does not con-
form to the designated species unless approved through
appeal as specified in the West Covina Municipal Code.
7. All trees shall be a minimum 15 gallon size as deter-
mined by the American Association of Nurserymen. All
trees shall be planted and staked per City standards.

10. Fertilization and watering of all street trees shall
be the responsibility of the abutting property owner,
except those areas that are maintained by the City.
II. TREE TRIMMING
A. General
Trimming of street trees is performed to enhance the
aesthetic beauty and health of the trees, maintain the
appropriate shape and size of the tree within the given
site constraints and to minimize hazardous conditions.
Scheduling of operations and determination of trimming
priorities shall be made by the Maintenance Director.
General priorities for street tree trimming as established
by the Commission are as follows:
-3-
1. Definition of Priorities
First Priority: Immediate hazards which endanger life.
and/or property.

life or property.
Third Priority: As per the Department's Tree Maintenance
Management Program.
B. Specific Trimming Policies
1. All tree trimming by all City departments and all other
agencies, shall be performed in a manner to maintain the
natural form and balance of the tree. No tree shall be
reduced by more than one third of its height and/or crown
in any one trimming.
2. The Commission shall have the authority to review tree
trimming policies of all City departments, and all other
agencies, and to require uniformity of practice as set
forth herein.
3. Clearance over streets and highways shall be a minimum
height of 14 feet and clearance over sidewalks shall be
a minimum of 10 feet unless otherwise specified by the
Director.
4. Root pruning with equal crown reduction, may be used as
a corrective measure to reduce damage to curbs, gutter
and sidewalks. At no time shall more than one side be
pruned within a minimum two year period.
III. TREE REMOVAL
The denartment is responsible for the maintenance of the street
tree system. It is recognized that individual trees that are
deemed hazardous or undesirable can and do affect the environment
of the total community and should be removed. Others are removed
as part of the tree management system. Removal of a significant
stand of trees (4 or more) or the removal of single trees of
-4-
significant historical importance shall require the review and
approval of the Director.
A. Hazard
1. Definition: A tree that is dying, dead or structurally
weak; a traffic sight distance obstruction; or injurious
• to the health, safety, or welfare of the general public.
2. Process: When a tree is determined by the Director to
be a hazard, the tree will be removed and a replacement
tree will be planted unless inadequate parking space
exists or the location constitutes a hazard. Where long
term repairs can be made to sewer laterals, sidewalk or
curb and gutter without endangering the stability of the
tree, the tree will not be removed.
B. Undesirable
1. Definition: Trees that possess undesirable character-
istics significant enough to have caused their elimina-
tion'from future planting as street trees, as determined
by the Commission. Undesirable tree species shall be
designated in the street tree master plan. (See Item 2)
a. Class I Undesirable - tree species that cause
chronic damage to curbs, gutters, sidewalks or
other structures and trees which, in the opinion
of the.Director are causing an extreme nuisance
to the property owner significant enough to nec-
essitate removal of the tree.
b. Class II Undesirable - tree species that meet the
general definition of an undesirable tree, but the
undesirable characteristics are not significant
enough to necessitate removal of the tree (e.g.,
heavy fruit drop, susceptibility to wind damage,
susceptibility to disease or insect infestation,
etc.)
C. Programmed Tree Removals
1. A program for the removal of undesirable trees will be
-5-
developed by the Director on the basis of the severity
of overall deficiencies including width of parkway,
species, condition of trees, or extent and number of
occurrences of structural damage.
2. A program for the cost effective removal of all trees
• shall be developed by the Director based upon historical
data and budgetary constraints.
3. Wherever practical, removal shall be based on a multiple
year schedule, removing alternate/intermittent trees so
as not to remove all trees at one time.
D. Accidental/Unauthorized Removals
1. Definition: Trees that are removed due to damage from
vehicular accident or other accidental causes; or trees
removed without legal authorization.
2. Process: Trees removed either due to damage from acci-
dent or unauthorized removal shall be replaced at City
expense.
E. Specific Removal Policies

2. The Director shall review all street tree removal
Policies of utilities companies and other public
agencies within the City.

way. Private property is not to be renovated for the removal
of surface roots or sucker growth. Stump grinding shall be
• completed no more than 30 days after the removal of the tree.
B. The void created by the grinding operation will be filled
with materials slightly higher than grade to allow for
settlement. Where no replacement tree is planted, the back -
fill shall contain approximately 60% soil.
V. WOODWASTE
All wood resulting from the trimming or removal of a City street
tree will be deemed City property. This wood may be recycled or
otherwise disposed of in accordance with City policy.
VI. SEWER PROBLEMS
