Lane Transit District <br /> P O. Box 7070 <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 -0470 <br /> (541) 741 -6100 <br /> Fax (541) 741 -6111 <br /> May 6, 1997 <br /> Chris Andersen <br /> Director of Public Works <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 858 Pearl Street <br /> Eugene, Oregon 97401 <br /> Dear Chris: <br /> This letter responds to your May 2, 1997, letter regarding the removal of trees <br /> associated with the Eugene Station project. <br /> LTD agrees with the City's approach to use the value of the trees to be planted within <br /> the site as mitigation for the trees removed from the street. The District also agrees to <br /> maintain the trees on the station property to International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) <br /> standards and will not remove on -site trees without appropriate reimbursement to the <br /> City of Eugene. <br /> Thanks for your help in resolving this issue. We believe the approach you outlined in <br /> your letter meets the intent of the tree ordinance and recognizes LTD's commitment to <br /> place a high priority on trees and site landscaping at the station site. I am certain that <br /> the station block will look "greener" once the new station is completed than it was before <br /> the construction. <br /> We look forward to working with the City on the intergovernmental agreement. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> S V %.x. 441 <br /> Stefano Viggiano <br /> Planning and Development Manager <br /> SV:ms /crt <br /> cc: Charlie Simmons <br /> Bob Hammitt <br /> Scott Plamondon <br /> Johnny Medlin <br /> H: \W PDATA \EUGSTATN \TRE EAGR.
