RE: Belle Claire Mitigation Trees
Dear Cathy:
The City Forester has evaluated the existing Linden tree at the immediate
intersection of Olive Street and the north -south alley and has determined that
removal for utility installation will warrant mitigation in accordance with Section
3.2.1(F) of the Land Use Code. The mitigation shall be two 3-inch caliper
deciduous shade trees.
Normally, mitigation trees are to be placed on the site. It is doubtful, however,
that there remains sufficient land area for two extra trees.
In lieu of providing two extra trees on the project site, the City Forester
recommends that the cash value be provided to the Forestry Division. The City
Forester will then plant the two trees on public property in the near vicinity of the
Belle Claire project.
The cash value is $300.00 per tree. Please remit $600.00 to the City of Fort
Collins to the attention of Tim Buchanan, City Forester prior to recording final
documents.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call Mr.
Buchanan 221-6361.
Sincerely:
Ted Shepard
Chief Planner
