[quote=KarlsGood]I have lived up on the hill for 30 years. Outside of Rancho Santa Fe I do not beleive there is any portion of Coastal San Diego County that has more trees in number and maturity. Its also the best run city in the County by a large margin.[/quote]
I understand, KarlsGood. The “bird’s eye” view of the subject property shows that its narrow driveway has a small quarter turn where there is a wider spot to park in. This (and a possible rear-attached garage) takes up most of the backyard space.
It looks like a (very unusual) pie-shaped custom which appears to be above its rear neighbors. Do I have this correct?
AN’s OP stated he was interested in a “tree-lined” street or one with “tree-easements.” These type of sidewalks have a “city tree easement” between the sidewalk and curb (predominant in neighborhoods older than 1950). In those areas, the sidewalk is typically 4′ or wider and the “tree easement” is another 3′ between the sidewalk and curb (which is ~6″). Even though an owner is typically allowed to plant the easement of their choosing if they wish, they cannot disturb the trees and their “property line” ends 7’6″ before the curb. If the trees need attention, the owner calls the city for assistance and they will send their contractor out to take care of it.
I can see from the photos that the trees are very mature there, even if they’re not “on the street.”
