Nov. 3, 1972, tø:wit: The Mayor of the City of Port Townsend and The City Council Ci ty Hall Port Townsend, WashiDgton Gentlemen: 8 In the Men's Garden Club of Jefferson County meeting of September 20,1972, a motion was made to withdraw the Club's endorsement and support of the proposed park at Kah Tai Lagoon. The motion was seconded and unanimously passsd. Yours truly, Roy E. Noren, Secretary No action taken on the above communication. From: The Hewitt Art & Decorating Co. Port Townsend, Wh. Oct. 30, 1972, to:wit. I Mayor Joe Steve, City of Port Townsend City Hall Port Townsend, Washington Dear Mayor Steve, I We are planning to plant 2 trees in front of our building on Water Street. According to the City Ordinance 13. 08.335 (Ord. 1527 Sec. 11.01, 1967) certain trees are prohibited near sewers. The ordinance lists several trees which are prohibited but fails to list any suitable trees. In order to make our choice we have consulted with Grant Allen, a Landscape Architect with the firm Jongejan-Gerrard Assoc. of Bellevue. Mr Allen has suggested the Washington Hawthorne as a suitable, low maintainance street tree. The root system is small, non-invasive, it will not break up the sidewalk, and it will not grow too big. These trees are being used in other cities and are on the list of trees reccommended for street planting. We hope to beautify Port Townsend by planting trees, and at the same time we don't wish to cause any extra work for the street crew. We will take full responsibility for maintaining the trees properly and welcome your sugges- tions. Sincerely, 8 Allan R. Hewitt, Linnea Hewitt Mayor Steve said that he would bring up the communication later on in the meeting. STREET LIGHT REQUEST Port Townsend City Council City Hall Port Townsend, Washington
