Dear Mr. Zicaro:
City of Yelm
Community Development Department
105 Yelm Avenue West
P.O. Box 479
Yelm, WA 98597
This is a follow up letter to the letter dated January 24, 2007 which was a
notification about the trees that were destroyed at 301, 303 McKenzie Avenue
SE, Yelm WA. Thank you for your prompt response and concern.
During one of our regular Tree Board Meeting on January 29, 2007, we were
informed by one of our Tree Board members that the 3 trees that were destroyed
were actually Thundercloud Plums and not Hawthorns and therefore are not
significantly historical. The City of Yelm will require that the destruction of the
Thundercloud plums be reprimanded by donating 3 Thundercloud Plums with a
minimum of 2" Caliper to our Public Works Nursery. These trees will be planted
at a later time when the road is fully improved. Please have the trees delivered
to 901 Rhoton Road SE, Yelm, WA 98597.
Please feel free to continue to remove the trees that have been cut. If you
decide to remove them from the roots, you will first need to contact the Public
Works department to assure that there will be no interference with any
underground utilities. Also, please refrain from further damaging the remaining
tree that has not been fully destroyed.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (360) 458 -8430.
Sincerely,
Nisha R. Box, Assistant Planner
Community Development Department
