Subject: Replacement of Golden Raintree Street Trees at Stanford Park
Dear Mr. Windler:
I have received your letter from Ryland Homes of August 16, 2008, in which you have stated your request to
replace 20 of the 47 Golden Raintree street trees in the Stanford Park Subdivision because of their death this
spring.
YoU stated that your landscaper (Hittle Landscaping) has not been able to find a sufficient size Golden Raintree to
replace those thathave died and would like to substi~ute the species swamp white oak (Quercus bic%r).
That request is granted to change species, but you should know that all oaks. should be dug and planted in the
spring planting season, otherwise you run the significant risk of transplant mortality with fall planting. All shade
trees must be 2.5 inches in caliper at six inches above grade when planted with root flare at grade level, not 2"

Re: .Replacement Request of Golden Ramtree Street Trees
Dear Daren:
The original landscape plan for the community of Stanford Park, near the intersection of
131 st Street and Shelborne Road, specified Golden Raintrees to be the street tree along
Windy Knoll. This spring, 20 oftheA7 Golden Raintrees that were planted last fail died.
Ryland Homes would like to request the replacement of the 20 dead Golden Raintree
street trees located along Windy Knoll to Swamp White Oaks, an approved street tree by
the City of CarmeL Swamp White Oaks are more accessible and can be purchased early
this fall for replacement of the Golden Raintrees. My landscaper, Hittle Landscaping, has
not had any luck fInding 20 Golden Raintrees large enough to meet the caliper
requirements. The attached letter identifIes the location of each Golden Raintree that
will be replaced with a Swamp White Oak
We look forward to your response:
Sincerely,
'7&C uL
