Dear Mr. Jacobs:
In response to your letter of February 25, 1988, this is to inform
you that I have nor� complied with your �emand that I remove from the
corner of Navarre Avenue and Lyric Avenue the Colorad.o blue spruce tree
which, I presume, is the tree to which you refer. In view of my com-
pliance, I will assume that no further threats of citations and court
appearances will be forthcoming from your office .
I have had no complaints about lack of visibility at this corner,
nor have there ever been any accidents there , to my knowledge . Any
driver coming to a complete stop and proceeding with caution should
have had no problem. I have certainly never knowingly violated any
part of the municipal code, and it would seem to me that a simple
telephone call or courteous note , advising me of the existence of
said violation -- and possibly a chance for discussion -- would have
accomplished the same result as did your offensive letter, with its
threatening overtones . I have alvrays been willing to comply with any
reasonable request.
Your time-frame was unreasonable . I was given only five (5)
business days in which to get this work done . There was not suffi-
cient time in �vhich to get written cost estimates on removing the
tree , and I was forced to hire the only tree service that c�uld come
on such short notice--so, obviously, I didn' t have the benefit of
accepting a lower bid . A more real_istic time-frame in which. to get
the tree removed would have been 30 days , which, I believe, is the
usual and customary, as well as legal, time allowed.
I have lived in Orono all my life, and my parents before me,
first in Orono Township, then the Village, and no�v the City. t�e
have always been able to discuss with Orono any prob)_ems and settle
any differences of opinian in a friendly, civil manner, and, until
receiving your letter, have always felt comfortable that problems
arising could be dealt �vith in an informal, pleasant and non-threat-
ening manner. If your intent was to intimidate me , you have surely
accomplished that; I'm sorry you felt it neeessary to employ such
tactics , as I very much value a good working relationship bet��veen
City of.ficials and residents ,
I would appreciate your acknotivledging, by letter, that the
matter of the violation of Section 10. 03, Subdivision 16, of the
Orono P�Zunicipal Code, as outlined in your letter of February 25,
1988, has now been resolved and that there will be no further legal
action.
s very truly,
� �-` ,
