Date: 07/13/93 <br /> . From: Adrian Stansfield CERMAES - RIS1 <br /> To: Dick Morgan CERMRAM - RIS1 <br /> cc: Houston Sheppard CERMHTS - RIS1 <br /> John Luther CEWMOUL - RIS1 <br /> Subject: Removal of potentially controversial trees. <br /> We have four trees at sites that, because of their size, variety (Oregon <br /> Maple) and location (Whittaker Neighborhood), lend themselves to a great <br /> deal of "citizen involvement ", either on the front end or the tail end. <br /> First let me give you my proposal as to what and how we can hopefully curb <br /> some of the emotional input and make it a more prductive process. We would <br /> like to be able to plan the removal so that the trees can be taken down, the <br /> stumps ground and new, large trees of 3" to 4" replanted within a matter of <br /> days. I believe it would be best to get the neighborhood leaders, council <br /> person or someone of signifigance involved on the front end, since it seems <br /> they get involved on the other end anyway. One more item is the variety of <br /> replacement tree. It seems that has become a larger issue in the recent past. <br /> Since we are aiming for larger trees, the variety becomes somewhat limited. <br /> I would like to be able to make the selection unless others are willing to <br /> make the selection and come up with the source as well. <br /> With that, the four sites are: <br /> 6th & Madison - One tree <br /> 3rd & Madison - One tree <br /> * 208 Madison - One tree <br /> 616 W. 4th - One tree <br /> This one is located at Bell Hardware and the owner was denied the approval <br /> for removal when they built a few years ago. Since then they have become <br /> somewhat attached to them. There is one, however, one the South end that <br /> has a large cavity at the base of a large main stem and present a potential <br /> hazard to the business located just to the South of Bell Hardware. <br />
