What a Great example of citizens coming together to do their best to make sure every effort was made to save this tree.
This tree is in San Mateo County, which has a tree ordinance. It is located on property owned by SFPUC, but none the less is in San Mateo County.
Maureen Barry SFPUC spokesperson says the utility doesn't need a permit because the tree is clearly on land it owns. This is exactly the type of discussion that should have taken place a long time ago, in public.
There are a lot of land owners that wish that statement were true. That is why we have county ordinances.
Yesterday County officials met with representatives of the SFPUC….
The big question is whether SFPUC is immune from San Mateo County's tree ordinance.
Don't miss out
on the discussion!
