THOUSAND OAKS; Fallen Oak Prompts Claim of $79,705;

By: PSYCHE PASCUAL


An insurance company that had to compensate a Thousand Oaks auto
dealer for 12 cars smashed by a falling oak tree is seeking $79,705 from
the city.


Stan Matalon, an attorney representing the Truck Insurance Exchange of
Los Angeles, said Thousand Oaks was responsible for maintaining and
protecting the 60-foot oak that dented or destroyed the new cars when it
fell at Neftin Westlake Volvo June 23.


The carrier has filed a claim against the city for the damages it had to
pay auto dealer Howard Neftin.

Neftin said Thousand Oaks had denied him permission to chop down the
300-year-old tree after he filed plans to expand his dealership on
Duesenberg Drive. Oaks are protected under an ordinance that requires
builders and landowners to obtain a permit from the city before chopping
down or trimming the majestic trees.
