You will notice we are having extensive tree work done at the entrance to the club in the front esplanade. This work will take place today through Friday.
The esplanade located at the front drive is actually the property of the City of Glendale
A couple of weeks ago I was approached by the cities street light management officer. They make regular inspections of over 19,000 street lights and as a oversight on our and their part, they did not realize the entry esplanade was their property with an easement granted to us. That said they have not inspected our street lights for compliance for quite some time. With that knowledge, our entry lamps fall under the jurisdiction of city code which we must comply with. That code says in summary that from the top lamp on the light pole there must be an unfettered line-of-site at a 30 foot ground level distance from the base of the pole. I met with the officers last week to find out what work they felt needed to be done for us to comply. From that meeting it is necessary for us to remove 6 trees from the entry esplanade as well as trim a few additional trees to comply with the code.
In reviewing the work, we believe this will have a positive effect on the appearance of the entry as we will be relocating our entry sign as well as re-working grass and ornamental flower areas. This will also allow us to do some grading work to level those areas.
I hope this keeps you informed of happenings as they occur.
Kindest regards
