Dear Mr. McElhany:
Re: Deposit for Replacement of Three Street Trees at 3200 Virginia Avenue
Map 17-02-31-34 TL #2800 (Planning Case SUB2007-00016)
A conditional approval for partitioning of the subject property into three residential lots
was issued September 1,2006 (Case SUB2006-00050) Condition 5 of the partition
decision requires the installation of three sUitable street trees along the Virginia Avenue
frontage of the property A site visit conducted Apnl 3, 2007 confirmed that three street
trees have been planted in accordance with the approved tentat;ve plan. However, the
street trees do not meet the minimum 2 inch caliper size required by the Spnngfleld
Development Code, Article 32 050.
To facilitate recording of the partition plat for the subject property, the City of Spnngfield
will accept a $250 00 (per tree) deposit for replacement of the street trees along the
Virginia Avenue frontage of the site. The deposit for the three street trees shall be
$750 00. To avoid forfeiture of the street tree deposit, please ensure that sUitable
replacement trees are Installed by December 31,2007.
The City does not tYPically accept deposits for replacement of street trees where a Final
Occupancy permit already has been Issued for the dwelling on the property Therefore,
because this street tree deposit IS not associated with an active Permit, there IS no
provision for extending this deadline
If you have any questions please contact the undersigned at 726-3784
Sincerely,
