PURPOSE:
AMEND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT POLICY
TERRACE TREE REPLACEMENT
INITIATED BY: COUNCIL MEMBER HARRIS
BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council for the City of Oshkosh that the Special
Assessment Policy is amended to include the following:
Trees
for Property Owners:
When trees are removed for street improvement projects, the City will
provide, at property owner request and at City expense, as large a tree as is
possible to safely and conveniently plant in the terrace or front yard of any
property owner, to replace the tree removed during construction; provided
that the owner grants the City a cost-free temporary easement for planting
the tree
The Department of Public Works will send a written notice to the affected
property owners offering the tree replacement. Property owners must submit
their requests in writing within 30 days of the date of the written notice.
The selection and placement of the replacement tree shall be made by the
City Forester in consultation with the property owner, but the selection and
placement shall be based on criteria used by the City Forester for terrace
tree plantings throughout the City.
