I 0 <br />i ' moo <br />u <br />commitment to the intent of the tree ordinance through an intergovernmental agreement between <br />the City and LTD. The IGA would include a requirement for LTD to maintain the trees planted <br />on LTD property to International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) standards and would prohibit <br />removal of the trees on LTD property without reimbursement to the City for the value as <br />calculated in accordance with the Guide for Plant Appraisal published by the ISA Council of <br />Tree Landscape Appraisers. An initial review of the value of trees to be planted on the LTD site <br />indicates an acceptable level of replacement to offset the value of trees to be removed. <br />As stated above, the Urban Forester will take no enforcement action for the removal of any of the <br />trees without a formal permit while LTD is actively working to resolve this issue. Please give <br />me a call to confirm your agreement to the concept outlined above and we can proceed to draft <br />an IGA to address the trees and allow the issuance of appropriate permits. <br />Sincerely, <br />Christine Andersen <br />Director of Public Works <br />cc: Bob Hammitt <br />Scott Plamondon <br />Johnny Medlin <br />
