January 7, 2003 <br /> <br />To Elk River City Council and Administrative Staff: <br /> <br />We would like to request that the Elk River City Council provide an opportunity for <br />public discussion, at a future meeting, and enact a policy change in regards to the <br />removal of trees within 10 feet of the road in regions they have classified as rural. <br /> <br />The reason the policy has come to our attention is the city staffhas marked many trees in <br />our neighborhood for removal. Many of these trees are over 30 years old and are located <br />along roads, with many human dwellings, where the traffic should not exceed 30 miles <br />per hour. We consider the trees to be an amenity to our neighborhood worth thousands of <br />dollars and an environmental asset to our community. <br /> <br />Sincerely Yours, <br /> <br />Residents For Trees <br /> <br /> <br />
