Re- Blue Herron subdivision Improvements
Clear Charles:
Earlier this fall we met with yourself and Jean Johnson regarding the required
landscaping/street tree subdivision improvements for Blue Herron subdivision.
t that time we reviewed the street tree ordinance and approved tree planting list.
It was agreed that the developers would plant the required approved trees to city
standards at a later date when tree planting is more appropriate to the
construction status. That is after driveways, side alks, etc, have been installed.
As per our phone conversation December 301h 2003, you are about reader to file
final plat and have indicated to me that you have bonded for the appropriate
street tree improvements to city standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration for developing a quality
subdivision project. If you have any questions or concerns, please give me a
call.
