Don Ford and I visited the project at 30 Simmons Road earlier this week and observed just one dead tree on the property. I am advised by Don that this tree was in fact a required tree per the projects tree removal permit. This tree has been in place for longer than the one-year period as required by Chapter 23, so the property remains consistent with the requirements of the tree removal permit. The City's commercial Landscape regulations, however, require that landscaping be maintained, and that dead landscape materials be replaced. This tree needs to be replaced as soon as reasonably possible. Please call me at 247-5817 with any questions or if you wish to further discuss. Sincerely, N.zatd,AA- Sonya B.
