Committee recommends landmarking a 75+-year-old cork oak at 20th & Noe
Summary
Supervisors voted to forward an ordinance directing Public Works to designate a cork oak at 20th Street and Noe Street as a landmark tree after neighbors and the Dolores Heights Improvement Club petitioned for protection; the Urban Forestry Council found it meets criteria.
Supervisor Mandelmann asked the committee to send an ordinance to the full Board to designate a cork oak tree located at 20th Street and Noe Street as a landmark tree under the Public Works Code. Mandelmann noted neighbors organized a petition with about 50 signatures and the Urban Forestry Council determined the tree met landmark criteria based on age (at least 75 years), physical attributes, environmental benefits and cultural/neighborhood value. The Dolores Heights Improvement Club and a lead gardener, David Dea, spoke in favor of landmarking during public comment. The committee voted to forward the item with a positive recommendation.
