SUBJECT: Walnut Street Reconstruction Project Trees
DATE: June 1,2010
INTRODUCTION
This workshop has been scheduled to discuss boulevard trees on the Walnut Street
Reconstruction Project.
DISCUSSION
The current City Ordinance does not provide for the replacement of boulevard trees except for on
designated boulevard tree routes. After tree removal for the Walnut Street Project, residents
expressed displeasure with both the removal and lack of replacement of trees along the side
streets (4th, 5t1\ 6th, and 7th) within the project area. This workshop has been scheduled to receive
guidance from Council on how to move forward on the project.
Currently, as part of the project, 45 trees along Walnut Street are scheduled to be replaced. This
replacement was included in the plans at the direction of the City Engineer. Following a review
of the boulevard tree route map recently, it was discovered that Spruce Street, not Walnut Street
is the boulevard tree route through this area. Therefore, according to the current ordinance, the
trees on Walnut Street should not be replaced.
Included with this memo are maps of the project area showing the trees that were removed, trees
that are scheduled to be replaced based on the plans, and optional replacement tree locations on
the side streets. For clarity, each sheet shows all of the trees that were removed, but the
replacement trees and the optional locations are only shown once (You can count the blue dots
and the green dots, but not the red slashes). 66 trees were removed, 42 are planned to be
replaced, and an additional 39 optional tree replacement locations have been identified on the
side streets. The contract price per tree is $167.00.
It should be noted that according to the current ordinance, homeowners in the area are allowed to
replace the trees at their own risk and expense. This replacement can occur either in the
boulevard or on private property.

(b) Replacement Of Trees:
(1) The city shall be responsible for removing existing boulevard trees that have died
or sustained severe damage. The city shall replace trees on designated boulevard
tree routes.
(2) The owner of any lot of record existing on the original adoption date of this chapter
may, at his or her own risk, replace a dead boulevard tree with a new tree to be
planted on the boulevard, provided the location of the new tree is not within ten (10)
lateral feet of any underground water line or sewer line (sanitary or storm) and two
feet (2') from any other underground utility.
(3) The owner of any lot that is not part of a lot of record existing on the original
adoption date of this chapter may, at his or her own risk, replace a dead boulevard
tree in the front yard of the home outside of side yard drainage and utility easements
at eight feet (8') from the property line in front yard drainage and utility easements.
(c) Trimming Requirements: The city will be responsible for all trimming of boulevard
trees. As these trees are on city property, and are essentially and legally city property,
they must be maintained by the city to ensure that they are properly trimmed for
structural integrity and disease control measures.
(d) Responsibility For Maintenance Of Trees:
(1) The city will inspect and trim boulevard trees.
(2) The homeowner shall be responsible for trimming lot frontage trees or any other
tree on private property.
(e) Height Standards: Trimming height standards must maintain a ten foot (101) clearance
above any walkway and fourteen feet (14') above the roadway. These requirements
provide clearance for walkers, snow removal equipment and solid waste vehicles.
(f) Brush From Pruning: The city will not collect any brush resulting from pruning or
removal of trees or brush from private property.
(g) Emergency Collection Of Brush: An emergency brush situation would occur when the
public safety officer declares one to exist. Then and only then will the city collect brush
generated by residents on private property, as a onetime emergency service. (Ord.
008-582, 5-5-2008)
(H) Tree Topping:
1. It shall be unlawful as a normal practice for any person to top any street tree, park tree or
other tree on public property except as allowed in section 8-6-10 of this code. "Topping"
is defined as the severe cutting back of limbs to stubs larger than three inches (3") in
diameter within the tree's crown to such a degree so as to remove the normal canopy
and disfigure the tree. Trees severely damaged by storms or other causes, or certain
trees under utility wires or other obstructions where other pruning practices are
