Re: Tree Removal
Date: February 13, 2003
Received in writing February 11, 2003 a request from Mr. Ron Nehls concerning an Oak
tree. Mr. Nehls felt the tree was blocking his signage at Ron Nehls Tire & Auto Sales,
located at 1904 North 1s` Street. Since this Oak does not meet our criteria of being dead,
diseased or dying it will require Council approval for removal. Mr. Nehls is aware that
removal and replacement is at his expense. Replacement will be of an ornamental
flowering variety.

To whom it may concern:
RE: Tree Removal
We have recently relocated our business to 1904 North First Street.
After many hours of hard work and investment we are open for
business. I am requesting the removal of a tree that has over-
grown its area and is obscuring the view of our business's sign and
readerboard. In order to maintain the beautification theme of the
area, we would be glad to replace it with a shorter variety. Your
cooperation in this matter would be appreciated. We will await
your reply.
Respectfully,
