Kempf Developer a division of Public Works Kids Enterprises, LLC 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. 91355 Triple Oaks Drive Eugene, oregon97402 Eugene OR 97408 (541) 682-4800 (541) 682 -4882 Fax Dear Mr. Kempf, www.ci.eugene.or.us/pwlparks received your letter of January 26 regarding street tree planting at Robbie Park Subdivision (City of Eugene Contract #00- 00403). We are currently reviewing, our activities related to this contract. Our records show that 37 street trees have been planted so far. It is always our intent to plant street trees as homes are built and the planting space in the right -of -way becomes ready. The planting season also dictates the timing of our planting, and with the first shipment of trees arriving today in our yard, we plan to install trees throughout the city until the end of the planting season, April 15 During recent inspections, we have found approximately 15 additional planting Parks and Open spaces potentially available for installation, with some possibility of other Space Planning spaces in the right -of -way behind curb -tight sidewalk in the subdivision. The Parks Maintenance additional trees will be planted before April 15 Urban Forestry The Street Tree Agreement was never intended to represent a set number of trees. Rather, it establishes a fee paid by the developer to the City that Wetlands and Open Waterways relieves the developer of the responsibility to plant street trees in the subdivision. Thus, the costs were based on an estimate of trees that would be planted plus an estimate of anticipated mortality within the subdivision. If you'd like to meet and talk about the program and your subdivision in particular, I'd be happy to set up a meeting with the Director of the Parks and Open Space Division, where your concerns could be discussed. Sincerely, adt Mark R. Snyder Urban Forester City of Eugene cc: Johnny Medlin, Director, Parks and Open Space Division �__
