Description
Athens Shade Tree Commission June 11, 2020
A
A
What
I've
got
at
the
moment,
I've
added
a
couple
of
items
that
came
in
at
the
last
minute
under
title
33
this.
These
are
three
permits
that
are
now
working
their
way
through
the
system.
We
had
a
report
of
a
tree
with
some
branches
on
it,
but
the
adjacent
property
owner
was
concerned
about
that's
a
64,
Elmwood
I
think
it's
a
little
bit
SIA.
It's
got
two
or
three
branches
that
look
like
they're
close
to
dropping,
but
they're
too
high
for
easy
reach.
A
I've
put
a
permit
in
for
that
one
with
the
recommendation
that
the
deadwood
pruned
that's
at
the
code
office
at
the
moment
use
the
confirmation
that
it's
really
a
city
tree
I'm,
pretty
sure
it
is
it's
in
the
devil
strip
and
while
I
was
there
I
noticed
a
dead
tree
at
66
would
not
sure
what
it
is
could
be.
A
tulip
poplar
and
I
put
in
another.
A
If
not
I'm
gonna
move
along
to
title
37,
we
don't
have
any
action
on
these
two
items
yet,
but
I
just
want
to
put
in
for
the
record
that
we
tell.
We
still
have
not
received
final
plans
for
either
Don
woods.
New
development
at
the
end
of
the
East,
8th
Street
or
for
the
Minard
site,
which
looks
like
it's
fairly
close
to
completion.
B
B
I
with
the
director
and
City
Council,
one
of
the
things
we
talked
about
and
these
these
two
projects
from
before
me,
but
I
understand
that
these
projects
we
had
talked
about
a
tree
bank,
at
least
with
my
nards,
to
be
able
to
place
some
of
those
trees
and
locations
other
than
on
the
Minard
site.
And
to
do
that,
we
actually
have
to
scrap
some
legislation
in
place,
so
we're
working
on
putting
a
tree
Bank
legislation
in
into
City
Council
for
review
and
approval,
and
that
should
have
something
not
not
necessarily
shortly.
But
what
they're?
A
There
be,
and
the
only
guidance
we've
got
at
the
moment
is
from
time
37,
where
council
put
in
the
fact
that
we
could
allow
trees
to
be
planted
elsewhere
in
the
city
under
certain
conditions.
The
there
were
no
details
there
about
that
process
and
so
I
suspect
that
what
David
is
talking
about
is
the
council
establishing
a
process
for
that.
A
The
one
of
the
choices
that
they
do
have,
though,
is
and
I
think
both
Don
and
Menards
might
benefit
from.
This
is
that
we
could
give
them
permission
subject
to
the
service
safety
director's
approval
to
plant
trees
themselves
elsewhere
in
the
city
at
their
expense,
rather
than
pay
the
city
a
fee
for
each
tree
that
they
want
to
bank.
That
is
an
option
available
in
title
37,
but
in
both
cases
we
have
not
received
final
plans,
so
we
can't
give
approval
for
tree
banking.
A
We
simply
mentioned
when
those
two
sites
were
in
discussion,
that
that
would
be
one
option,
but
until
those
two
developers
decide
how
many
trees
they
can
actually
accommodate
on
their
site,
and
then
we
give
approval
of
the
tree
banking.
We
can't
say
how
many
trees
were
going
to
finish
up
banking,
but
in
the
case
of
dawn
wood
it
was
of
the
order
of
a
hundred
trees
Menards.
A
A
A
It's
mentioned
in
the
minutes
from
the
March
meeting
that
I
was
going
to
meet
with
the
mayor
which
I
did
and
we
did
discuss
the
possibility
of
assigning
some
part
of
the
work
force
of
the
city
to
maintenance
of
trees
and
so
on,
but
as
far
as
I
know,
that
hasn't
happened
now.
This
is
before
your
time.
Andrew
I,
don't
know
if
you
are
aware
of
any
of
the
requests
that
I
made
on
this,
but
we
don't
have
to
discuss
that
now.
A
A
A
C
A
Isn't
taking
place
this
year,
but
that
also
has
some
maintenance
needs
as
well,
that
again
could
be
dealt
with,
but
neither
the
the
Rec
Department
nor
the
I
think
of
as
roads
and
bridges,
but
the
the
engineering
department
have
staff
that
deliberately
set
aside
to
these
things.
It's
a
case
of
figuring
out
how
we're
going
to
achieve
that
end,
and
that
was
a
discussion.
A
I
had
had
with
them
there
to
say
back
in
in
March,
but
I
think
his
mind
was
more
on
other
things
at
the
time,
because
that
I
think
that
day
or
a
couple
of
days
afterwards.
So
you
announced
that
these
students
were
not
returning
I
think
he
probably
had
bigger
things
on
his
mind
than
trying
to
prune
the
trees.
A
We
thought.
Originally
it
was
ten
times
a
year.
I
would
still
like
to
meet
at
least
10
times
a
year
if
we
can,
without
probably
not
going
to
do
that
this
year,
as
we've
missed
the
April
and
the
May
meetings,
and
it
always
liable
to
miss
one
in
in
the
summer
because
of
people
traveling
around.
But
maybe
if
people
aren't
traveling
we'll
be
able
to
have
a
meeting
so
we'll
see
how
all
that
works
out
Teresa.
A
C
So
I
I
did
receive
information
from
Ron
Lucas
about
Tree,
City,
USA
and
I
did
receive
the
login
information
to
receive
the
prior
data.
I
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it
about
two
months
ago,
not
with
any
great
detail,
but
I
do
have
a
general
understanding
as
to
what
needs
to
happen
for
that
application
process
and
the
timeline.
So
as
we
move
into
the
latter
part
of
the
summer
moving
to
the
fall,
that
will
be
something
that
will
redress
the.
A
C
A
A
A
We
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
replace
law
trees
than
we
take
down.
So
that
was
where
the
data
keeping
is
essential.
We
need
to
know
how
many
trees
the
city
has
taken
down
this
year
and
then
obviously
how
many
trees
we
planting
in
previous
years,
with
the
emerald
ash,
borer
we'd
been
losing
quite
a
number
of
trees.
I
suspect
that
bad
is
now
over
and
that
the
city,
trees,
city,
ash
trees
will
have
been
removed
by
now
they'll
grow
Hazzard.
C
There
was
one
at
the
end
of
Graham
Drive
at
the
top
of
the
hill
that
was
brought
up
recently,
I
added
it
into
our
I
work
system,
so
that
would
be
recorded.
I
cannot
remember
the
name
right
off
the
top
my
head,
but
it's
on
the
edge
of
the
property
line
in
the
right-of-way
at
the
end
of
her
driveway.
So
that's
one
that
I
am
aware
of,
and
there
was
another
request
in
the
last
two
weeks
for
an
evaluation
between
two
properties
and
that
one
I
haven't
either
dug
into
it.
A
You
aware
the
process
that
was
supposed
to
go
through
for
well
bees.
It's
actually
referred
to
as
a
tree
permit
where
the
Cohen
office
and
the
tree
Commission
are
supposed
to
evaluate
these
things.
The
tree
Commission
mainly
just
to
give
some
sort
of
recommendation
on
what
should
happen
to
the
tree
and
the
code
office.
Just
Jack
assume
that
it's
in
the
right-of-way
or
not.
C
A
What
I
would
like
to
do-
and
this
is
something
that's
been
long-standing-
is
to
take
that
tree
permit,
which
is
currently
just
a
PDF
document
on
the
treaty
Commission
website
and
turn
it
into
an
electronic
document,
so
that
people
can
file
it
more
easily.
I,
don't
know
if
your
eye
works
thing
has
got
any
sort
of
capability
for
picking
up
something
like
that,
but
that's
certainly
something
that
I
would
like
to
see
in
the
future.
A
D
I
was
trying
to
get
a
hold
of
Nancy
but
she's
having
trouble
getting
on.
But
my
question
was
about
this:
going
back
to
the
somewhat
mythical
tree,
Bank
and
hopefully,
bringing
into
existence
and
this
option
about
business,
planting
trees
elsewhere
in
the
city
which
very
appealing
in
a
way.
But
it
makes
me
wonder
if
there's
any
process
through
that,
so
that
suggestions
could
be
made
by
the
tree
Commission,
either
four
sites
and
the
kind
of
trees
to
go
there.
A
My
interpretation
of
title
37
is
that
we
have
control
over
that.
That's
one
option
that
we
could
grant
and
it
would
be
subject
to
approval
by
the
Service
Safety
Director
anyway,
who
would
hopefully
listen
to
our
advice
and
if
we
thought
it
was
a
bad
idea,
he
or
she
would
decline
it.
And
if
we
thought
it's
a
good
idea
and
it
wasn't
gonna
cause
it
has
it
to
the
city,
then
they
would
respect
that
and
allow
it
to
move
forward.
E
Chairman
I
have
one
comment:
I'd
like
to
make
backing
up,
essentially
the
Menards,
I,
guess
and
and
director
Riggs.
It
seems
to
me
that
they're
getting
awfully
close
to
finishing
Menards
I've
heard
they're
talking
about
trying
to
open
in
in
August,
but
they've
got
a
lot
of
trees.
Already
planted
they've
got
three
trees
towed
in
that
they're
going
to
go
to
different
locations
in
the
site.
E
You
know-
and
it
you
know
so
I'm
assuming
the
plan
will
have
what
trees
they're
planting.
So
we
can
look
at
which
ones
are
large
ones
which
ones
are
more
ornamental
and
and
and
then
we
would
have
some
sense
of
of
exactly
how
many
trees
they
fall
short
or
at
some
point
I
guess:
David,
a
david
ingram.
We
would
go
to
the
site
and
look
at
what
trees
have
remained
on
the
property
so
that
we
can
see
how
many
of
those
trees
could
be
credited
to.
Yes.
E
A
E
A
A
It
counts
as
one
tree
within
that
area.
So
we
can.
We
can
come
up
with
a
number
fairly
quickly,
yeah
and
give
them
credit
for
that,
and
then,
as
you
say,
they
presumably
know
where
they're
planting
trees
and
what
trees
are
going
to
be
planted,
and
so
it's
again
a
case
of
receiving
a
plan
and
just
going
around
that
plan
and
Counting
up
trees.
That.
E
A
B
Mr.
chair
I
would
like
to
mention
that
the
East
Elementary
would
like
to
submit
their
landscaping
plan
for
your
review.
I,
don't
think
that's
a
title
37,
but
still
they
would
still
appreciate
your
comments
back
on
that
on
that,
so
I
got
I
just
received
it
today
and
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
send
it
to
you.
The
electronic
version,
their
landscaping,
insight
layout
plan
for
the
East,
Elementary
and
I
will
forward
that
to
you.
If
you'd
like
to
review
it
very
good.
A
I'm
mainly
for
Andrews
benefit,
and
they
made
it
a
gym.
What
happens
with
these
separate
political
subdivisions
like
the
mental
health
hospital,
the
any
of
the
school
premises
or
the
university?
We
sometimes
get
consulted
on
their
landscaping
plans
and
we
make
comments,
but
they
aren't
obliged
to
follow
the
city
code
when
it
comes
to
landscaping.
B
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
Any
objections
to
approving
the
minutes
of
the
last
meeting
hearing-
none,
we
have
minutes
of
our
last
meeting.
Our
next
meeting
will
be
on
I
need
to
pull
hi
my
thing
up,
yes,
July
the
9th
2020,
and
it
will
presumably
be
on
zoom
again
at
7
o'clock
in
the
evening,
and
with
that
we
are
adjourned.
They
cute
thank.
