I went by 720 W. Myrtle to check the trees that are in questions. The two that I noticed, that I assume
would be impacted, are a Siberian Elm on the West side of the House and an apple tree in the back yard.
I was looking over the fence with a rather large dog on the other side so I could not get a real good look.
Neither tree is in very good condition and they are medium in size. Since the plan does not show the
existing trees and which ones need to be removed I can not be certain that I saw everything that will be
impacted. Perhaps your and I could go over and do another inspection so that we have the correct tree
resource information in make this decision. Let me know.

Tim, Dave, T-Planner,
This property currently has a duplex on it with 2 bedrooms in each unit. The applicant intends to build an
addition which will add a bedroom to each unit. This will trigger the requirement for 4 off-street parking
spaces. The applicant could fit the parking spaces easily in the back yard, but it would require them to cut
down some mature trees. The applicant wished to have one off-street parking space and have diagional
parking that currently exists on the street absorb the remaining parking demand. Eric Bracke has
reviewed it and has no problem with the modification request. This project isn't going to staff review until
3/27, but it seems like it might fall into the "quick glance" category, and we could maybe just crank this one
out.
Can you glance over this modification application and tell me if you think you need the schuduled review
time. If not, can you let me know what (if any) issues your department would have at granting the
modification.
This was a limited routing. Forestry, Engineering, and Transportation Planning are the only departments
I'm still waiting on comments from.
Thanks,
Troy Jones, City Planner
