Timmons <br />Olympic Landscape <br />1220 Goodpasture Island Road <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />I am addressing this letter to both of you to respond to Mr. Timmons' letter to a member of my staff, Jeff <br />Anderson, letter dated July 13,200 1. Mr. Timmons' letter addresses street tree issues at Pioneer Business <br />Park, and I am including you in this response, Mr. King, because you signed the Street Tree Plan <br />Agreement for Pioneer Business Park contract with the City on September 3, 1997. <br />Mr. Timmons, I did receive your letter requesting the City to accept the street trees at Pioneer Business <br />Park. <br />Based on field inspection, the City of Eugene agrees that, of the 301 trees originally planted, 262 have <br />successfully completed their three -year establishment period and are accepted by the City for all future <br />maintenance. <br />For the 39 trees remaining, a new bond amount of $11,700.00 is required ($300 per tree is the amount <br />required to bond for the three year establishment period for trees on local streets). <br />Of the 39 trees remaining under bond, our records show that 14 were replaced this past planting season and <br />will require bonding until their three year establishment period is over and the trees have been accepted by <br />the City. One of those 14 trees has already died and will need to be replaced during the next planting <br />season — next fall/winter. Its establishment period will begin at that time. <br />Another 25 trees need to be replaced. Of those, 23 were not accepted by the City on final inspection; one <br />planting space is empty (no tree); and one has recently been broken off or vandalized. <br />Please submit a new bond and schedule for replacement of the required trees at your earliest convenience. <br />I would be happy to meet with you to discuss the trees in this project should you wish. You can call me at <br />682-4800. <br />Sincerely, <br />Mark R. Snyder <br />Urban Forester <br />cc: Billy Sherritt, Project Manager, Frontier Resources, LLC <br />
