L1MBIRD Andrew From: Sent: To: Subject: Brent Moon [bmoon@comcast.net] Monday, January 25, 2010 6:23 PM L1MBIRD Andrew Re: street trees Thank you Andy, I was by no mean suggesting you did anything wrong. Just the opposite. The chair person and her manager are constantly Laying blame on others for their own actions. I'm glad to read; the City will recommend using a similar evergreen tree species for replanting along Harlow Road. I wish I had Greg's address, in public works. I would have sent a copy of my mail to him as well. To: Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 05: 11 Subject: RE: street trees Mr. Moon: Thanks for your comments. City staff were asked if maples could be used for replanting where eight pine trees were cut at the southwest corner of the condominium property. The City has a list of appropriate street trees for planting on public and private property, and Red Maples are among the approved choices. There are maples planted elsewhere along Harlow Road, and it appears the Pointe Homeowners' Association proposed to use this type of tree on the replanting plan. This does not prevent other types of trees from being used for replanting (including pine, spruce, fir or cedar trees, etc.), or confirm that three trees are a suitable replacement for the eight that were cut down. The staff report and decision on the tree felling application is in the public response period right now, and should be issued by the end of this month. I can tell you that based on the concerns expressed by residents at the Pointe Condominiums, the City will recommend using a similar evergreen tree species for replanting along Harlow Road. Please let me know if you have any more questions on this issue. Sincerely, Andy Limbird' City of Springfield From: Brent Moon [mailto:bmoon@comcast.net] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 3:08 PM To: 11MBIRD Andrew Subject: street trees Afternoon Andy, Our manager told me this morning, that Greg from public works told hini the three Red Maple would be the best choice of trees to replace the ones cut down. Our manager further stated you agreed. The three Maples were a great choice. Has the decision been prejudged? We hope you will conceder the owners input for a denser screening than just those three little trees. Thanks Brent .541-741-3408 1 ....wived: c ....i1ner: AL /~~/dMJ / /
