Hi Chris,
When did you start with Vail? Last I heard I thought that you took a Planner job on the Front Range. I
look forward to working with you again. Good Circle!
These cottonwood trees are aging and outgrowing their space. The branches are breaking in winds
and falling onto the adjacent garage. This is one of the cases where the tree is overfilling its' space
in an maturing, overplanted landscape.
Don't hesitate giving me a call with any questions.
Thanks
Rick

Hi Rick,
Its been a while since we worked together. Last time was when I was working for the Town of
Breckenridge. I have been in Vail for about a year now.
Just wondering what you can tell me about the cottonwood trees proposed for removal at 725
Forest Road, #B. Are these trees diseased, or otherwise dangerous?Town of Vail code states:
14-10-3: C. Removal of trees, shrubs, and other native vegetation shall be limited to removal of those
essential for development of the site, those identified as diseased, those essential for creating
defensible space, and those found to impact view corridors as further regulated by title 12, chapter
22, "View Corridors'; of this code. Mitigation may be required for tree removal.
Any information you have would be appreciated.
Thanks,
