PW CASE # 1 <br />SIGHTLINE CONCERN AT 142r'~ AVENUE AND FLUORINE STREET <br /> By: Grant Riemer - Public Works Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />On September 25, 2002 I met with Mr. Les Bateman of 14141 Fluorine Street about a <br />sightline complaint that I had received. The trees in question are on the northside of his <br />property bordering 142~a,Avenue. This is the second time I have talked with Mr. <br />Bateman about complaints that the tree branches on his property were causing sightline <br />problems at the intersection. The first conversation was about 12-18 months ago. At that <br />time we agreed that he could try tying them back instead of cutting them to see if this <br />would resolve the problem. This solution proved to be short term as the branches are <br />once again causing a safety concern for motorists. On September 25, 2002 I explained <br />my concerns to Mr. Bateman and recommended that 'the branches be cut back to the trunk <br />of the tree, and approximately 10 feet up from the ground. The right-of-way easement in <br />this development is 33' feet from the centerline and is illustrated in photographs that will <br />be available at the meeting. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Recommend continuing current policy of removing materials from right-of-way to ensure <br />proper sightlines. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Public Works Director/Fire Chief <br /> <br />PW: 01~1~3 <br /> <br /> <br />
