   Hey Norm, I have a question…

   One of the new trees in front of this house on the 2200 block of Q Street is *directly* under the the power line to the house. If the tree was 3 feet in either direction, it’d have a much better chance of not getting mangled in the future. Are the contractors told to be on the lookout for this kind of thing?

   John,

   I think that the tree species that have been selected will not grow tall enough to encroach on the power lines. At least that’s my understanding.

   Thanks, Norm. I have another question. I’d like to plant some trees in the median running alongside my place at M and 31st. Am I understanding correctly that I must fill out the Street Tree Planting Application from the Public Works site, but I can only plant trees from the Approved Planting List on that site. Correct? But I don’t need permission to plant regular shrubs or wildflowers in the medians, right?

   The trees must be at approved sites.
   They must be the approved species for the area.

   The sites will also be inspected for compliance with the City’s Tree Ordinance.

   Shrubs and wild flowers must be approved by the Public Works Grounds Division.

   My office number is 646-6785
   Please feel free to call with your questions between 7am and 4pm
   Thank You
