Date MAR 1 8 2020
Mr. Tai has told me that I am responsible for maintaining his trees that are overgrown
onto my property. These trees are causing damage to my home, yard, fence and
shed. The Public Works Notice of Violation dated 01/28/2020 states that the trees are
between 44 to 75+ feet tall and located on his property.
I am 73 years old and my wife is 67 years old and this causes us stress because the
branches and debris are constantly falling. How can we enjoy our property with these
hazards? Even at night with the strong winds I can hear the branches breaking and
falling. The Coconut Palm fronds and the coconuts also fall from heights over 50 feet
and onto our property.
I remember Mr. Tai stating at the Planning Department requested Community Meeting
on December 18, 2013 that Mr. Tai would create a landscape plan that would address
heavy vegetation and trees on his property within one year. To this date Mr. Tai has
continued to deny that he is responsible for maintaining his property.
We are frustrated in Mr. Tai's refusal to remove the trees that border our
property. Because we have been dealing with these issues for too long, we support the
Planning Commission's recommendation for Bill 150.
