TO: HONORABLE MAYOR -
AND MEMBERS
ROSEMEAD CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGE
DATE: APRIL 1, 1997
RE: PRELIMINARY VALLEY BOULEVARD TREE PLANTING CONCEPTS
Attached for the City Council's consideration are three preliminary concepts for the type
of street trees to be planted along Valley Boulevard.
It is proposed to plant 36-inch box trees along the entire street. Although the palm trees
are more expensive to purchase, the installation cost for each type is approximately the
same since the palm tree does not require a root barrier. Following is size and growth
characteristics for each type of tree:
Hawthorne: 12 feet in height at planting; grows 6 inches per year to maximum
height of 20 feet.
Sweetshade: 16 feet in height at planting; grows 11/2 feet per year to maximum
height of 40-50 feet.
Palm: 16 feet in height at planting; grows 1 foot per year to maximum height
of 50-60 feet.
Staff is seeking the Council's input on the preliminary concepts prior to presentation of
alternatives for City Council's consideration.

Existing Streetscape
The existing streetscape along Valley Boulevard will require some restoration following the
imminent street construction work. Some of the existing trees may be adversely affected and could
require replacement. Some portions of Valley Boulevard offer the opportunity for new street tree
planting,.while others should be replanted with species that are less likely to contribute to pavement
•
damage.
•
Replacement tree alternatives have been selected considering their ultimate size,maintenance
characteristics, appearance,water use,hardiness, and sign viewability. Tree wells would be 3' wide
by 6' long.
A single species may be planted the entire length of Valley Boulevard, or species may be alternated by
block to provide variety.
