PARIS AND RECREATION PLANNING DEVELOPMENT DIVISION <br />21t ST. • EUGENE, OREGON 97401 <br />• (503 ) 657 -5325 N-W <br />May 11, 1981 <br />David Jones <br />Resident Engineer <br />Oregon State Highway Division <br />1045 Gateway Loop <br />Springfield, OR 97477 <br />Dear Dave: <br />Re. 6th and 7th Avenue widening: <br />Trees suitable for planting in close proximity to a curb with a moving lane <br />of traffic include the following: <br />Amstrong Red Maple (Acer rubrum "Armstrong ") <br />Doric Red Maple (Acer rubrum "Doric ") <br />Columnar Norway Maple (Acer plananoides "Columnare ") <br />Columnar English Oak (Quercus robur fastigiata) <br />Rancho Sargent Cherry (Prunus sargenti "Rancho ") <br />These trees remain in a very narrow growth pattern until they reach 20 - 25 <br />feet, at which time the branching becomes more horizontal. At that height <br />the lower branches can be "limbed up" as the tree broadens. Examples of <br />trees reaching this spreading state can be seen in the 700 block of High <br />Street where Columnar English Oaks are on the City Hall side, and Armstrong <br />Red Maples are in front of the Forum Building (brick) on the east side. <br />I hope this information will help you. .Please note Section 7.635 of the <br />Code, which is a process that allows our department review proposed plant- <br />ings for potential problems and code compliance. <br />Sincerely, <br />John Etter <br />Landscape Architect <br />JE:rh <br />K_W <br />�4- <br />
