>P & Z Board Members,
>This is regarding the removal of existing trees on the lot at 300 Smith
>Street, the Old Town Commons, PDP.
>The Landscape Plan presented to you indicates several trees in the
>front yard, northwest corner of the lot, north side of house, and along
>the curb on East Olive Street to be removed. Per a telephone
>conversation yesterday with Tim Buchanan, the City Forester, the
>following action has been, or can be, taken:
>* There were diseased Siberian Elm and Boxelder trees along East Olive
>Street that the City has already removed. The applicant will be adding 3
>new street trees in this area. Also, there are 2 Green Ash trees and 1
>Norway Maple tree along Smith Street and East Olive Street that will be
>retained as street trees.
>* There is a Black Locust tree on the north side of the house that is
>not in good condition. It has pest borings and infestation. This tree
>can be removed without mitigation.
>* There are 2 Austrian Pine trees at the northwest corner of the lot
>that are not the best specimens and neither is 6" in diameter;
>therefore, they are not significant. The applicant is able to remove
>them without mitigation.
>* There are 2 Poplar trees in the front yard that are in an "ok"
>condition, and 1 is slightly over 6" in diameter. They are not the best
>species of tree for this location and can be removed, not requiring any
>mitigation. The applicant will be adding 2 new ornamental trees in this
>location.
>Overall, the applicant will be implementing a good landscape plan on
>this property that will be more in character with the proposed new
>development. Hopefully this helps address the concerns expressed at work
>session on Friday.
>Steve
