Jessica asked me to respond to your email. I was out at the property this morning and spoke with your wife. Trimming <br /> ''��I of trees is permitted. I spoke with Mr.Tufaa and his contractors; I informed them that trees removed from the right of <br /> ' way area require prior approval by the City's Public Works Director, Adam Edwards. Unfortunately they did not seek the <br /> ' prior approval, which is why I stopped their work today. Mr. Tufaa plans to identify three additional pine trees within the <br /> right of way he would like Mr. Edwards to review for removal. The trees were/are located under or very near the <br /> ' overhead powerlines, they have been extensively pruned due to the powerlines; they are also beginning to show their <br /> ' age. After speaking to Mr. Tufaa today I believe his intent is to replace the removed trees with additional trees planted <br /> ' within his property boundaries. <br /> I reviewed the minutes from the Council meetings relating to Mr. Tufaa's variances. I note that, according to the <br /> minutes, the homeowner and the contractor stated that they did not plan to remove many trees but were willing to <br /> replace any trees they remove. <br /> Steven Byrnes also called me today regarding this issue. Would you please share this information with him? <br /> Thank you. <br /> Melanie <br /> ' Melanie Curtis <br /> ' �952.249.4627 �mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us <br /> 2 <br />
