the city has been confronted with in the past. In fact, if the trees that threaten my property <br /> were to be made safe in some other manner, such us by topping, pruning, or the use of <br /> cable tethers to direct the line of fall to a safe area, I would be very supportive of that <br /> decision. We chose to live where we are, in part, 30 years ago because of the trees, and <br /> certainly support the city's decision to replace trees designated for removal with any new <br /> deciduous or conifers that could adapt to the new, more urban conditions created by the <br /> city near the shelter area. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> (t; <br /> A. Jo ph arrison <br /> 1878 Fircrest Drive <br /> - Eugene, Oregon 97403 <br /> cc: Laurie Swanson Gribskov, City Council President and Ward 4 Representative <br /> Christine Andersen, Director of Public Works <br /> Terry Smith, Deputy Director of Public Works <br /> Jim Torrey, Mayor <br /> *A fourth tree, which fell December 31 both across my property and my neighbor's, <br /> Suzanne Clark, is slightly south of the other three trees. One frightening aspect of this is <br /> that the city was aware that this tree, along with approximately 100 others, was diseased <br /> and potentially hazardous to the surrounding homes but neglected to notify nearby <br /> homeowners as to their condition -- something we found out only incidentally during the <br /> clean-up and aftermath of the incident. <br />
