DESCRIPTION:Attend the appeal meeting on Wednesday, March 27th @ 6pm at Menlo Park City 
 Council Chambers, 701 Laurel 94025.  If we get low attendance, the trees 
 are likely toast. Bring all your tree-loving neighbors and friends. 
 \n\nEvening Agenda at Link at bottom of this page. Public comment period is 
 at beginning. 2 minutes per person; you can also join us in our protest by 
 holding signs in chambers during the meeting. \n\nThe Raging Grannies will 
 sing a protest song during the meeting.\n\nKEY POINTS:\n\n**The building 
 structure damage at 1000 El Camino Real was not caused by the trees.\n**The 
 land at 1000 El Camino Real is owned by the city and leased to the building 
 owner.\n**The  building structure repair solution proposed by the building 
 owner will damage the trees and require their removal.\n**There are 
 alternative building structure repaire solutions that will not damage the 
 trees, but these solutions are costly.\n**The city of Menlo Park estimates 
 the monetary value of the trees at $150,000 – not enough to justfy the 
 more costly solutions.\n**The original premise of the tree removal is 
 FALSE:\n---False premise point #1: The trees are causing damage to the 
 structure (this staff report confirms that this is not the case)\n---False 
 premise point #2: No feasible alternatives to removal exist (alternatives 
 do exist that increase the cost of repairs)\n
