FORESTRY DIVISION - PUBLIC TREE REIMBURSEMENT
WRITTEN NARRATIVE
Please describe the proposed project and any anticipated disturbance to adjacent public tree(s), including
relocation of utilities, sidewalk maintenance, and construction access.
The project is a new mixed use hotel development located at the northwest corner of the
intersection of N. Tracy Ave. and W. Lamme St., on the Block A portion of the North Central Master
Plan. The code required offsite infrastructure improvements are extensive and require rebuilding the
streets, curb/gutter and sidewalks on all three sides of the proposed buildings. Due to the removal of
the existing infrastructure and replacement with new all four of the existing trees in the W. Lamme
public boulevard will be compromised.
Forestry Division Notes:
Met on-site with Andrew Gault (HomeBase Partners) to discuss preservation of existing blvd trees.
Preservation is not viable due to the following construction impacts: Vertical access within sidewalk
area, excavation/replacement of sidewalk, excavation/replacement of street & curb/gutter,
installation of new hydrants and water lines. Tree root systems will be too severely impacted by
these activities to expect survivability. The Forestry Division will conduct appraisals of existing trees
based on current conditions Summer of 2025; reimbursement fees will be due as a code provision
or condition of approval with occupancy.
