needs to be able to contact one person within Maintenance. Maintenance then <br /> needs to ensure all of the proper players review plans in a timely manner. <br /> Fred McVey is our contact with Engineering. Get adopted standards (that means <br /> having them adopted by Engineering and Planning, etc.). <br /> 13. TREE /STREET LIGHTS - LIGHTS TO ILLUMINATE ROW <br /> Discussion: Need to define if street tree or private tree. If tree is <br /> blocking light then need to prune the tree. Ben checked with Traffic and the <br /> street light is to illuminate ROW not private property. Need input before new <br /> street lights are installed. This would be covered in the standards. <br /> 14. TREE /SIGNS AND SIGNALS - PRIVATE BLOCKING STOP SIGNS <br /> Discussion: This would be covered in the standards. Engineering or Traffic <br /> would have the standards so they would know where to place new signs and <br /> signals. Current policy is to go in and trim the blocking limbs. There are <br /> some locations that we do this trimming of private trees year after year. If <br /> street sign is being blocked by private trees, do we go in and trim and charge <br /> them or do we give them a notice and give them a chance to cut the limbs them- <br /> selves. Send them one courtesy letter then bill them in future years. This <br /> would not work necessarily on priority signs. <br /> 15. TREES OVERHANGING OR OBSCURING STRUCTURES AND PRIVATE SIGNS <br /> Existing <br /> New construction <br /> Discussion: What about limbs blocking business signs. If rules and regula- <br /> tions has been established in the standards then PIC would have the correct <br /> information as to height requirements. Do we charge for the removal or <br /> replacement of trees? <br />
