June 26, 2013 <br /> Tony and Julie Maton <br /> 3750 West Center Street <br /> Decatur, IL 62526 <br /> One of our community's goals is to ensure a safe environment in Decatur's neig borhoods and to <br /> encourage private responsibility to correct unsafe conditions. <br /> I have personally conducted an on site inspection at this address, and the following g City Code <br /> concerns and violations were noted: <br /> CHAPTER 36-2TREES, SHRUBS,AND GROUND COVERS ON CITY PROPERTY. <br /> A. Trees, shrubs and ground covers on private property adjacent to a street, E idewalk, <br /> and/or alley shall not interfere with either vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic using said <br /> street, sidewalk,and/or alley or create a hazard to public safety. <br /> The violation at this address concerns the large cottonwood tree circled in the c y of the aerial <br /> photograph and shown in the two pictures enclosed with this letter. The large dead branches, <br /> which are any branches over two (2)inches in diameter,which are hanging over Center Street <br /> need to be removed. This needs to be done for both compliance with City Code and as an aspect <br /> of a request for property annexation. <br /> If you have questions regarding this,please contact the City of Decatur Urban Forestry Section at <br /> 875-4820,Monday through Friday, from 7:30 AM until 4:00 PM. <br /> Sincerel <br /> Randy allison <br /> City Forester <br />
