Andy Limbird
City of Springfield
Urban Planning Division
Case Number DRC20 1 0-00002
I'm thankful the city is involved in correcting this fiasco. Our H.O.A. chair-
person and manager created. They are without common sense. The two of
them made the decision to remove the trees without counsel of the board of
directors, or anyone else. For reasons unknown to me.
The diagram the manager sent you is incorrect. There is no space between
the curb on Harlow and the sidewalk. We as owners and residents here are
concerned with the open space. We need a sound and visual barrier between
us and Harlow Rd. I'm sure something could be found that the city would
approve that would address these two factors. We could work with qualified
people to find the right program. Three Red Maple trees are not the answer.
The eight trees cut down were pretty much, healthy. The certified Arborist
was referring only to the trees further East Some of them are running sap.
The eight were already cut before the Arborist was called in, He told me he
never saw the eight that were cut down. Only the ones between the sidewalk
and the garages. As stated in the first paragraph of his report.
Any solution to this city ordinance violation will be unacceptable unless it
creates the kind of sound and visual barrier we enjoyed from the healthy
trees that were unlawfully removed.
