Fountain Pk P2/PP-CS 981020 MEMORANDUM
TO: Larry Davis
FROM: Pert Virtanen J~
SUBJECT: Trees at Fountain Park Phase Two
DATE: October 20, 1998
Tim House asked me what the consequence would be of taking down the txvo trees at the front
property lines of Lots 5 and 6. This was my answer:
"The current zoning ordinance requires replacement of trees removed from the yard area of a lot.
The tree on Lot 5 is a 15" oak, while the tree on Lot 6 is a 24" hackberry. Therefore, they would
have to be replaced with 13 trees 3" in caliper."
As far as I am concerned, these 13 trees can be in the front yards of any of the 8 lots of the
subdivision. If there is a mechanism for escrowing funds so that planting the trees can be
delayed until after the houses are built, that might be the most practical thing to do.
I am not sure what will happen if the tree ordinance is changed. The proposal before Council
will remove hackberry trees from protection. Therefore, if that provision passes, I should think
that the number of replacement trees required for Fountain Park Phase II may be reduced to 5.
