TREE REQUEST LIST 1992 -93 The following list enables those of us helping to plant new trees to easily enter, manipulate, and retrieve information about available planting sites. It is designed, too, to quickly provide current information to volunteer neighborhood Project Leaders (PL's) working with the NeighborWoods Coordinator (NC). The City of Eugene is divided into sections (A, B, etc.), to help narrow the work area. Within each section, the information is divided into eight columns, for which tabs are already set. (Please use the tabs when entering information, rather than using the space bar to move from one column to the next.) Column 1: Street address. Planting sites are listed within each section alphabetically for Eugene's named streets, and numerically for our numbered avenues. East (E) avenues precede west (W) avenues. The few streets in.Eugene with addresses having a "north" prefix are simply listed among the addresses for the rest of that street. For corner lots, an additional note is required to ensure that trees are planted along the ap- propriate street. Column 2: Replacement (R) vs new (N) trees. Column 3: Number and size of trees. If information is NOT yet underlined, it indicates that the number /size of trees suitable for that site has not yet been checked or confirmed by either the PL or the NC. After a site visit confirms that size /number are appropriate, please underline this column. Small trees (S) are those whose mature canopy is less than 30 ft in height (generally planted only where electric wires limit selection, or where treelawn is less than 4 ft in width). Medium trees (M) have a mature canopy 30 -50 ft in height. And large trees (L) have a canopy more than 50 ft in height. Column 4: Species acronym. See "Recommended Tree Species" for acronyms (first two letters of genus, first two letters of specific epithet, and first two letters of cultivar, if applicable). This column lists the requested species, if any, at the time of initial contact. Participants in the NeighborWoods program are generally not asked for their preferences. Rather, the PL explains to them that the City's NC will recommend a species appropriate for the site (and addresses where living examples can be viewed). An underlined acronym indicates that the NC has okayed this species for the site, and the trees will be ordered for the following planting season. Column 5: Resident's name. The name of the adjacent homeowner /tenant who requested the tree(s). A parenthesized "T" following the name indicates tenant; an "0" indicates owner. Column 6: Telephone number. The home (h) or work (w) phone number of the person requesting the tree(s). Column 7: Status of the request. "I" is the date of the initial request, when it was first added to this list (by the Tree Crew, following a removal; or by call -in from a resident /tenant). "R" is the date when City- acquired information is referred to the ap- propriate PL, or when PL's first submit their own site lists as a result of canvassing the neighborhood (in which case, of course, step "I" is not required). "P" is the date on which the trees were finally planted. At that point, a hard copy of the information regarding address, species, and planting date is filed (for eventual inclusion in the City's general tree inventory) and the information can then be deleted from this list. Please delete previous activity and date when entering the current one. Column 8: PL initials. The two initials of the volunteer neighborhood Project Leader who is responsible for this site. If you need more space for information about any single entry, please use additional lines.
