CERTIFIED LETTER
June'8, 1992
I am writing to you in response to a request for assistance from a
Springfield resident regarding a hazardous sidewalk adjoining your property
at 2874 & 2876 Fiesta Court. City staff investigated the complaint and
found that the sidewalk has been displaced by a cottonwood tree to the
extent that it could cause a pedestrian to trip or stumble; I am sure you
are as concerned as we are that this situation be corrected.
You may not be aware that the Springfield City Code (copies attached) makes
it the property owner's responsibility to maintain sidewalks abutting their
property. Chapter II, Article 7, section 2-7-4 applies to the situation at
your property.
To correct this dangerous situation, I propose that you remove and replace
the displaced section of sidewalk. You should also contact the City
Landscaper, Greg Ferschweiler, to coordinate removal of the cottonwood tree
at the same time. A sidewalk permit, which can be obtained at the
Development Services Department at City Hall, is required.
If the situation is not corrected in a timely manner, we will have to send
you a formal enforcement notice, as required by the City Code. If you have
any questions, please contact Ron Sather, Construction Inspector at 503-
726-2240. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Very truly yours,
/U----12../~
