The last correspondence to the Association dated August 18, 1995,which is attached, identified twenty-three street trees that have been documented as causing significant ihardscape damage in the Association areas. The City will proceed with the removal of the trees to coincide with an upcoming hard'scape replacement contract in the Harbor View Hills area and finalize the notification of the effected property owners. The trees will be removed based on the criteria listed in City Council Policy G- 1(copy attached). Those property owners not wanting the tree removed have the option of appeal to the Commission. The trees that will be removed as part of this process will be replaced with the City designated tree. The cost of removing the trees and fifteen gallon replacement plantings will be funded by the Capital Improvement Reforestation account. Tree removal requests by the Association beyond the twenty -three identified will not be funded by the City and must meet the G -1 policy criteria. Very respectfully, David E.

It will still .be necessary to meet the City's standards relative to grades and alignments, with the exception of those special trees discussed in Paragraph 1 of this policy statement If it is necessary for a tree other than that included in Paragraph 1 to be given special treatment, each treeshall be considered individually on,its.own merits to determine whether the tree should be retained or replaced. all parkway trees included in this category must be subjected to and meet the, following criteria: 1. Have a tree hazard evaluation performed by tie City arborist (Attachment 2). 2. Have sufficient life expectancy to merit special, consideration. 3.
