Eugene Water & Electric Board <br /> EWEB 500 East 4th Avenue <br /> Post Office Box 10148 <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97440 -2148 541.484.2411 Fax 541.484.3762 <br /> April 18, 1996 <br /> City of Eugene <br /> ATTN: Scott Plamondon, City Forester <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Boulevard <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97402 <br /> Dear Mr. Plamondon: <br /> I would like to bring to your attention a small stand of big leaf maple trees at the intersection of <br /> Woodland Drive and Spring Boulevard. On January 20, 1996, we were called to this location by <br /> Commissioners <br /> Dorothy Anderson the Eugene Fire Department to respond to a power outage and a tree arcing in the power lines. <br /> Stec C utis This outage effected 56 EWEB customers in this area. <br /> Mike Dyer <br /> Jeff Osanke On April 11, 1996, I dispatched our contracted tree crew to trim the area around the pole so we <br /> Susan Smith could avoid this type of unsafe situation in the future. Mr. Ogle, 2540 Woodland Drive, came <br /> General Manager out and stopped the contractors and refused to let the crew trim the trees. I visited the site and <br /> Randy L Berggren found Mr. Ogle to be quite unreasonable about this situation. <br /> After reviewing the trees, it appeared that the trees may belong to the City of Eugene, not Mr. <br /> Ogle. I called your office and talked with Mike and he met with me on April 12, 1996 and we <br /> came to the conclusion they were the City of Eugene's trees. <br /> Due to the size of the tree's and the species, it will be difficult for us to trim to Standard 90 -3 -90, <br /> as per our Intragovernmental Agreement with the City of Eugene. It is EWEB's recommendation <br /> to remove the tree's in question and replace them with vine maple at EWEB's expense. <br /> Please examine this situation and get back to us at your earliest convenience, to insure the <br /> neighborhood adequate safety and reliability of the EWEB system. <br /> Sincerely, J o h ..nvy "r/ / <br /> 4 ,. <br /> - Brad Edwards i-/ C of /if �✓� u <br /> Tree Trim Co- ordinator �� h 7owt- // ,��// r ,�� <br /> 7 eS Ze get— kit V` � <br /> je <br />
