Neighborhood, 3. 3 million to address this and other park improvements. Thank you. Good evening commissioners carla short, department of public works urban forestry. I dont really have anything to add to what dan said, but we did indicate this trees a tree appropriate for removal based on the recent limb failure and the presence of decay already. Were already seeing the signs of decay. The limb i didnt see it when it came off the tree as well, but based on what remains and i will switch photos on the overhead. Basically this area is that limb that failed. So it does appear that it was probably a similar size to the other limbs, which is very typical for this species. They have a form that is not ideal. Its called decurrent. So they have multiple limits that emanate from the trunk at one point. The problem is its more prone to limb failure inherently because of that form but once you have a limb failure, what we see is multiple failures after that. Because the tree is now weakened at th
Decay . Even healthy limbs break off with this specie because of structural weaknesses of the current form. So i cant predict that. And the replacement trees, can you describe them . It may have been described in the materials, but what is the size of the replacement trees. 36 box for the 14 trees that have been approve for removal and replacement and i dont know, would the additional 10 be 36 box . Most likely. Okay, thank you. What species . The species hasnt been identified yes. Blackwood acacia has weak spots and i will deferring to the Landscape Architect with dpw and garden staff and bureau of urban forestry what is best tree for that location. Your brief indicated that the species would be selected by buf. That is a condition of their permit. So what are you going to put in . We havent selected. What are you likely to put in . There are london plain trees on one side of the park. So we would likely replace any trees we would recommend london plains to go in. Lemon . London plain
Would be 15 and beginningo with likely be 10 tall at installation. That is a slowergrowing tree. Thank you. Any Public Comment on this item . Okay, seeing none, mr. Vigneau, you have three minutes of rebuttal, if you have anything further to add . I appreciate your kindness in allowing me a few minutes more. What mr. Mauer could you speak into the microphone, please . What mr. Mauer presents, he showed me is the company who came to check on those trees, but i would be glad and satisfied if i would have seen the plan of the work that is going to be done. With this sentence, i will not any longer insist after this. Thank you very much. Did you just say you are not longer insisting on appealing this . What i mean is that i have mentioned that i suspect this tree was [speaker not understood] they went to make a lot of work in the park in that area and they want to replace the area where the children are playing and i believe they want to replace these with basketball courts and of course,
Appealing this . What i mean is that i have mentioned that i suspect this tree was [speaker not understood] they went to make a lot of work in the park in that area and they want to replace the area where the children are playing and i believe they want to replace these with basketball courts and of course, they will make a lot of transformation, which requires machinery to be coming to do the work. Okay. So you are saying that you suspect excuse me . You are saying that you suspect that they want to remove the tree not because its failing or its decaying, but because they want to make room for entry of machinery . Is that what you are trying to say . I did not understand all of what you just said. Yes. Maybe we can let the representative from parks and recreation address that concern you just stated and your brief as well. I think his concern is that the project, the capital work that were doing and the construction work is the reason were proposing to move this tree. In fact, the opp
