This overall scheme would be very important for the two neighborhood planting <br /> programs. But it would be desirable to implement on a smaller scale this year as part <br /> of the "in- fill" program. Typically, there is variation on residential streets because <br /> there are old elms and oak trees that are not being replaced with elms and oaks. <br /> Finally, due to the annual volatility in availability and price of certain tree types, the <br /> forester must use her best judgement as to what to plant where based upon these <br /> criteria and the planting criteria described above. Although the boulevard trees are <br /> owned and maintained by the city and it is important that some expertise be followed <br /> when planting, if an abutting property owner initiates and expresses a particular <br /> interest in a certain type of tree that has been identified for the that street and that <br /> is suitable for that location, the forester will accommodate that request. (This has <br /> occurred once in seven years.) <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> A Proposed amendment to ordinance Chapter 8 4.04 A(2) <br /> B Tree planting guidelines <br /> C Map of Falcon Woods III and Maple Knoll /Garden /etc. neighborhood <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Adopt the amendment to ordinance Chapter 8 Section 4.04 A (2) related to planting on a <br /> public- right -of -way. <br /> Authorize the forester to develop a boulevard tree planting plan for two neighborhoods, <br /> Falcon Woods III and Maple Knoll /Garden /St. Mary's /Fry to bring back to the city council <br /> for discussion as capital improvement projects. <br /> Authorize the forester to develop a plan and implement planting a minimum of two, similarly <br /> formed and sized tree types to create a uniform scale, on each street. <br />
