MEDLIN Johnny R From: FERGUSON Joe M To: PLAMONDON Scott F; LOWE Allen D Cc: MEDLIN Johnny R Subject: RE: Street Trees for Development Date: Monday, July 17, 1995 3:57PM Scott, couple of quick comments -- Tree requirements should apply to all developments that include dedication or improvement to public r /w, not just plats. Hopefully where we're headed with this whole process is some standard conditions which can be referenced in various application approval criteria. -- Leave the rate and spacing as " standards adopted by City Mgr or designee" or included in standards and specifications adopted by City Engineer, as with other improvements in the public r /w. Keep out of Chapter 9. -- in b. better define "urban forestry standards" - something like "according to the whims of the Urban Forester." We already have spec's for the stock and the planting procedures. If issue is compatibility, or different objectives for different types of streets, or canopy spread, or blockage of views in south hills, will probably need some specific guidelines. -- In Note 4, will we actually use an escrow account? You can set up accounts @ Finance which should be interest - bearing. Are you considering an option where homeowner is involved, or developer gets unused balance? -- Is this intended to apply to infill permits on existing improved r /w? If so, who's monitoring? Checking bldg plans? Would we collect the $200 with bldg permits?
