Box 586 Eugene, Oregon 97440 (503) 485 -2906 <br /> 1 -800- 452 -2613 <br /> June 16, •1993 <br /> City of Eugene <br /> Adrian Stansfeld <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Dear Mr. Stansfeld: <br /> As per our conversation on June 15, 1993 regarding the maple <br /> trees in front of Fortuna Distributing, Inc. on 5th and Lincoln <br /> and the damage the roots are causing to the sidewalk in front <br /> of the building. You said that the tree maintance crew will be <br /> here next week to trim all the dead wood and cut the limbs <br /> over our building and some of them overhanging the street. This <br /> still does not alleviate the problem of dead limbs falling on <br /> pedestrians or passing vehicles during a wind storm. We feel <br /> that a Tree Doctor should be present during the trimming to <br /> determine the health of the trees. <br /> The roots of these old maple trees are raising up the side- <br /> walk and causing it to crack. During the last big wind storm <br /> a branch fell onto the street and could have seriously injured <br /> a vehicle, pedestrian or a bicyclist. Since the roots of the <br /> old maple trees are causing the damage to the sidewalk and the <br /> city owns the property between the street and the sidewalk <br /> where the trees are located, we feel that the city is responsible <br /> for the maintance and any liability that may incur due to <br /> the damage that the roots are causing to the sidewalk. <br /> We would appreciate your consideration in this matter. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Linda Allen <br /> cc: Paul Schuberg <br /> American Hardware Insurance <br />
