Nathanson's Oak Patch /Amazon Creek Project <br /> Date: Saturday, August 17, 1996 7:08AM <br /> Yes, I'm the point person on this project, which seems to be developing as an all volunteer project, right <br /> down to the maintenance (furnishing of trees excepted). It's being promoted by adjacent businesses, and <br /> they seem well intentioned on the maintenance. If you want them to cover watering the trees from the <br /> start, even though they are on city property, let me know. - -John <br /> From: PLAMONDON Scott F <br /> To: ETTER John F <br /> Cc: BELLMORE Mike <br /> Subject: RE: N.

They will need to be <br /> watered every week during the first three years. Are they <br /> willing to water. We have found that follow through for <br /> consistent watering is often lacking with volunteers. If they <br /> will water, we will provide trees. Are you coordinating this <br /> effort or will there be a contact person from the volunteers <br /> that we will need to contact. Please let me know.

Nathanson's Oak Patch /Amazon Creek Project <br /> Date: Monday, August 05, 1996 9:23PM <br /> This is shaping up to be entirely a business supported effort, <br /> except that trees would come from the Neighborwoods Program. <br /> They would install trees, benches and tables on city -owned <br /> land and within 200 feet of the street (for visibility). If <br /> their placement created problems for mowing, they would commit <br /> to doing the finer mowing, and might anyway since the <br /> frequency of our rough mowing might not be enough for them. <br /> They are keen on making a nice little park node. Nancy want <br /> to make the Amazon more of a waterfront type park and not the <br /> back yard ditch. Lofty ideas. I think it can work with <br /> occasional guidance and approval from us. <br /> 4 <br /> 4 <br /> 4 <br /> Page 1 <br />
