\ <br />TO; <br />FROM; <br />DATE; <br />Mayor Petersoi . .d Council Members <br />Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />April 7,2004 <br />SUBJECT: Update Regarding Street Trees In Navarre <br />The top priority coming out of Uie 2003 Navarre Town Meeting was the planting of trees along the <br />County Road 1S commercial area. Staff has worked with a local landscape contractor to develop a <br />tree planting plan. An outline of the plan is attached. The plan will be presented in more detail at <br />the worksession. <br />There are a number of issues that have been identified through the planning process. These include <br />funding issues, as well as issues related to taking advantage of other opportunities that are being <br />created by the tree planting project. For example, the tree planting project will involve cutting out <br />portions ot the concrete sidewalk. This creates the opportunity to replace the current sidewalk with <br />something much more attractive. But this would involve additional costs. <br />The next step in the planning process is to meet with the business owners and business property <br />owners to review the plan. Undoubtedly, one of the questions from this group will be regarding <br />whether any costs will be borne by the business propert ies. Staff would like to have a preliminary <br />discussion regarding the funding issue at the worksession.
