All three lots are adjacent to large paved parking areas. The planting of trees on these lots will break up the stark nature of these areas, and will create a welcoming feel to the surrounding areas. The following quotes were given by the Park Department's City Forester. The grassy lot at the corner of Jefferson and Main streets has long been vacant. Proposed for this lot are 14 flowering trees in an infill pattern. Total cost for this lot is $4,317. The Manor site, at 118 S. William Street, is now cleared and hydro- seeded. As part of the demo, a large beautiful maple tree had to be removed. Proposed for this double lot are 11 flowering, ornamental trees along its western edge. Total cost for this lot is $3,283. The third and largest area is the southwest corner of La Salle and William streets. These lots used to house Basic Machine, and have been vacant for years. Proposed for this area are 18 trees in an infill pattern. Total cost is $5,564. Total cost of these three quotes is $13,164. Staff requests your approval in a not to exceed amount of $14,000, to allow for unforeseen contingencies. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
