PlanningBoard | 2012-08-27 | 3 | 8-B Approve a Modification to the Master Street Tree Plan to Add Robinia pseudoacacia (Black Locust) to the Planting Palette for the 1300 Block of Bay Street. Planning Services Manager gave brief presentation. President Zuppan opened public comment. Karen Flanders, resident, stated that the residents of the street would like the tree- scape to remain as is. David Maxcy, resident, stated that the current trees are pink, and the residents of the street would like the replacement trees to be the same or at the very least, the same color. President Zuppan clarified with staff and informed the residents that the Robinia pseudoacacia trees are in fact pink and the plan modification is to guarantee that the correct tree is planted. Belinda Ray, resident, stated that the arching trees that meet in the middle make the street beautiful and create character. She said she would like the trees to remain the same. She referenced the amount of commercials filmed on the street because of the trees. Tim Rumberger, resident, stated he is not aware of any invasive issues, or sidewalk damage caused by the current trees. He referenced the amount of commercials filmed on the street and cited economic incentive for keeping the same species of trees; he urged the Board to approve the motion as it has been amended to allow for the pink version of the tree. President Zuppan closed public comment. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft voiced her approval of the amendment and suggested to staff that more of these trees be planted throughout the City because of their economic value. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft motioned to approve a modification of the Master Street Tree Plan. Board member Knox White seconded the motion.
