One of the trees is a large (10-inch <br /> diameter) red maple to be located very near the comer of 10th and Olive and Is expected to <br /> cost approximately 57,000. Thus, we believe e that we presently more than an replacing the street <br /> trees, and we are creating a 'greens <br /> attempted to approach the City of Eugene regarding this project with a <br /> LTD has repeatedly for half of the oust <br /> spirit <br /> of cooperation. A further e � � � Old and Streets, which includes street <br /> • of Improvements by 10th Avenue <br /> ridng stalls. These are <br /> repaving, new street lights, new crosswalks, and van-accesstde <br /> fund and which a located up <br /> items which a private developer would not normal& expect <br /> tb a block away <br /> from the station. We believe that, in this spirit of cooperation, the City should <br /> waive the tree replacement fee. <br /> It is our understanding that release of the building permit for the project Is contingent on <br /> resolution of this issue. Thus, we would greatly appreciate your prompt attention to this <br /> issue. Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions or wish to discuss this <br /> further. . <br /> Sincerely, • <br /> Phyllis P. Loobey . <br /> General Manager <br /> PPUsmv:ecm <br />
