Subject: RE: 116th and Gray Road (Lattice Comm)
Jim, I met with Carmel city official this morning. Based on the landscape plan, Lattice failed to install 11 river
birch. Cinergy has removed 2 trees in the last year due to storm-related occurance and 2 trees need to be
removed for safety/reliability reasons. In all, 15 trees need to be planted to comply with ours or Lattices
agreement with the city.
I want to move this through and get done this spring. Let me know what, if any of Cinergy's responsibility will be.
If Lattice is involved I want to see their plan first in order to protect our interests which were not protected with the
initial installation.
If Cinergy is to take responsibility for some or all of it let me know and I can get you a cost estimate.
Thanks.

Is this in relationship to Lattice/Global problems? If so Global should take the lead and we should approve any
location of plantings. I would like to make sure we are not solving Globals problems.
I appreciate Toms willingness to work with the City. Thanks.

Tom:
I have looked over the plans again with Scott and walked the site. There are still about 14 trees that need to be
planted. 10-11 birch and some existing trees that were removed. I would like to go over the plan or meet out
there and find an area to plant these trees so that they do not interfere with the overhead lines. I understand the
past problems and I think getting the trees in a suitable area can be found. Let me know what you would like to
do.

Dear Darren:
The Duke Energy substation on Gray Road south of 116111 street is scheduled for
planting and replanting in order to meet city ordinance requirements. The original
plan was not approved by Duke and therefore modifications at this time will be made
in order to eliminate future maintenance concerns. This letter is being sent to serve
as confirmation Duke will honor the original agreement with the city with the
modifications previously discussed with you.
In order to create a species composition that is more diverse I decided to deviate
from the original plan. A combination of bald cypress (4), swamp white oak (1),
willow oak (4) and river birch (4) will be placed in this general area. The original plan
was saturated with river birch. River birch (4) planted too close to overhead power
lines on the north side of the sub will be transplanted with the new plant material on
the west to southwest side of the substation. In all 14 trees that were never planted
under the original agreement will be planted. Some sizes are slightly larger in order
to compensate for the delay in planting. Our contractor, Cicero Lawn & Garden, has
been given the expectation to complete this project by October 31 , 2006.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Tom Ordway, Forester

Tom,
Attached you will find a second sheet to send to Carmel for information on the quantity and type of trees. As soon as
Jim confirms his tree order, I will get you the price of the Bald Cypress tees. I double checked with him this morning
that we can get these to be able to plant on your schedule; last week of October.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to give me a call @ (317) 984-8733.
Have a great day!
