Commission questions tree survey and replacement plan in Fussell variance request at 1319 Montgomery
Summary
Mark Fussell's variance request to remove/impact key native trees at 1319 Montgomery prompted commissioner questions about oak species on the survey, why a magnolia not in the buildable area is proposed for removal, and where eight replacement trees would be planted; staff requested clarifying information.
Planning Director Cara Bartholomew presented V26‑07‑21 for Mark Fussell (1319 Montgomery) requesting relief from CLURO's key native tree protection provisions. Commissioners asked staff and the applicant to clarify which oak species appear on the survey, to explain the rationale for removing a magnolia located outside the buildable area, and to specify locations for eight required replacement trees.
No vote was recorded; the Commission requested further documentation to determine whether the hardship standard is met and where replacement trees would be planted. The case remains pending until the requested details are submitted.
