KENO, DUVALL, ANDERSON <br />ANn A..n ,. _ ... <br />1500 PIPER JAFFRAY PLAZA <br />444 CEDARSTREET <br />SAINT PAUL MINNESOTA55101.2t4o <br />PHON61812202.4400 FA%10121202-oon <br />We contacted the State Aid Division to review the requirement that replacement trees must be <br />planted on the right-of-way or easement to be eligible for reimbursement. We explained that <br />after subtracting the clear zone, only one foot remained. Also the presence o£ the lain dine <br />further restricted the planting area. <br />Because of these difficulties, State Aid will allow the planting of trees on private property within <br />IO feet o£ the light -of --way, On that basis, we sent out letters to each of the forty-five property <br />owners in the project to ask whether they would like to receive a white pine tree or a sugar maple <br />tree. If everyone would want a tree, this would leave about 15 trees that could be planted along <br />the vacant areas along the north side of Lake Jane Trail, <br />Paving Schedule <br />Tower Asphalt notified us that they will be placing the final layer of bituminous by May 15. <br />Conrad Privacy lFencc <br />We informed Mr. Conrad of the City's desire to have the privacy fence constructed under the <br />general contract by a professional fence contractor. Mr. Conrad wants to perform special scroll <br />cutting on the top of the boards and add other features that a fence contractor would not be <br />willing to do. Mr. Conrad insists on building the fence himself. <br />Sincerely, <br />Larry D. Bohrer, P.E. <br />LDB/mha <br />
