EUGENE <br /> Public Works <br /> Parks and Open Space Division <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br /> MEMORANDUM Eugene, Oregon 97402 <br /> (541) 682 -4800 <br /> (541) 682 -4882 FAX <br /> www.ci.eugene.or.us /parks <br /> Date: 7 -14 -04 <br /> To: Johnny Medlin, Director <br /> From: Mark Snyder, Urban Forester <br /> Subject: Robbie Park File <br /> Attached is an abbreviated file of documents, for your use, that relate to the Robbie Park subdivision built <br /> by Rodney Kempf. I've included copies of the original contract; his letter to us of January 26, 2004; my <br /> letter of response dated February 10; his attorney's letter to me (Randall E. Thwing, May 10); the City <br /> Attorney's response (Kathryn Brotherton, May 20; and the calculation sheets for the development. <br /> Note the last page of the last attachment, which shows the application of our current methodology <br /> ($7.12/linear foot of right -of -way). That calculation would have resulted in a cost of $21,317, as opposed <br /> to the contract cost of $23,760, a difference of $2,443. <br /> There are a total of 68 trees in the right -of -way at this subdivision (May 14 inspection). Two of those <br /> were planted by the developer, without a permit. Two trees were refused by homeowners. One space is <br /> not plantable because a homeowner planted a tree nearby, just across the property line. The original <br /> estimate of trees was 72 for this subdivision. The total number we potentially could have gotten into the <br /> ground, without homeowner action and refusal, is 71, not too far off from the original estimate. 72 <br /> estimated — 68 in the ground = 4. 4 x $330 = $1320. <br /> Let me know if you would like any other information for this file. <br />
