Box 7070 <br />Eugene, Oregon 97401 -0470 <br />(541) 741 -6100 <br />Fax (541) 741 -6111 <br />This letter responds to your May 2, 1997, letter regarding the removal of trees <br />Associated with the Eugene Station project. <br />LTD agrees with the City's approach to use the value of the trees to be planted within <br />the site as mitigation for the trees removed from the street. The District also agrees to <br />maintain the trees on the station property to International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) <br />standards and will not remove on -site trees without appropriate reimbursement to the <br />City of Eugene. <br />Thanks for your help in resolving this issue. We believe the approach you outlined in <br />your letter meets the intent of the tree ordinance and recognizes LTD's commitment to <br />place a high priority on trees and site landscaping at the station site. I am certain that <br />the station block will look "greener" once the new station is completed than it was before <br />the construction. <br />We look forward to working with the City on the intergovernmental agreement. <br />Sincerely, <br />� 1 <br />Stefano Viggiano <br />Planning and Development Manager <br />SV:ms /crt <br />cc: Charlie Simmons <br />Bob Hammitt <br />Scott Plamondon <br />Johnny Medlin <br />N'\W PDATA \EUGSTATN\TREEAGR.
