City landscaping staff will ask the parks commission to approve removing four of the 10 trees — including a dead one — in September.
The Newport Beach Parks, Beaches & Recreation Commission plans to take the next major step Tuesday in the process arborists have recommended to remove several of the iconic, but apparently struggling, eucalyptuses on Balboa Island’s Marine Avenue.
The commission, which typically handles public tree removal and replanting requests, will consider uprooting nine living eucalyptuses that the city has deemed to be damaged, decaying and in the worst condition of the 40 shading Marine Avenue, the island’s main drag of mom-and-pop shops and cafes. The city already plans to remove a dead, brown tree in the 300 block of Marine Avenue, outside Abrams Coastal Properties, but that has not yet been felled.
City landscaping staff will ask the parks commission to approve removing four of the 10 trees — including the dead one — in September. The commission also will discuss whether the other six should receive advanced health and stability testing before being removed. If those trees are ultimately set to be culled, they would be cut down in January.The trees would be replaced with young eucalyptuses standing about 8 to 10 feet tall, the city says.of Newport’s staff arborist.
The fate of the Marine Avenue trees would ultimately be up to the City Council, should anyone appeal the parks commission’s decisions.
