Hello Danielle and Arielle,
Thanks for looping me in – I’m also including Nick & Pat from our Water Dept. My take on this is we’re really trying to
prevent issues with water/sewer connec&ons running perpendicular - straight through boulevards, we ask for 10’
separa&on. Since these trees are parallel, less likely to conflict with the line so I vote keep the exis&ng and add boulevard
trees. I will yield to Water’s exper&se, however. Nick & Pat, thoughts?

Hello,
Claire is no longer with the City. I think this ques&on is a good one for forestry since they deal with u&lity conflict issues
quite frequently. I CC’d Alex Nordquest for you. They may have a policy for different species or varie&es of trees that

would work. BMC 38.550.050 states the following: Where it may be imprac&cal or difficult to plant large canopy trees
within the public right-of-way (due to the presence of overhead power lines, for instance) the requirement for one large
canopy tree for each 50 feet of street frontage may be subs&tuted with two small ornamental trees per 50 feet of total
street frontage. Acceptable small ornamental trees for use in public rights-of-way are those accepted by the forestry
department.
I don’t see where I can waive the public landscaping requirement for water line conflicts, but I would recommend
inves&ga&ng the issue with Forestry first.

Claire,

We have a water service line that runs N-S in the Pines Phase 2 project #22341. The water service line runs
between existing trees and the new proposed boulevard trees. In order to provide 10’ separation between trees
and water service, we would like to keep the existing trees but skip the boulevard trees. Do we need to request a
variance if we do not provide boulevard trees?

The applicant must confirm there is 10' separation between the planned trees and the water service prior to site plan approval.
