PROJECT
WHEREAS, in 2004, residents living along the west side of North King Street between Union

proposed North King Street Storm Drainage Improvements project from Union Street to Union
Cemetery; and
WHEREAS, Town Council approved the FY 2008-2012 CIP to include these improvements in
the list of "Potential Future Capital Projects"; and
WHEREAS, these improvements were not added to the scope of work for the North King
Street Storm Drainage Improvements project because of the necessity to remove two large specimen
ash trees in front of 307 North King Street which delineated the "gateway" to the historic district of
Town; and
WHEREAS, during the tree removal phase of the North King Street Storm Drainage
Improvements project, the Town's Urban Forester and the contractor's arborist determined that the
two large ash trees in front of 307 North King Street needed to be removed due to deterioration, impact
of root pruning necessary for waterline installation and the potential for emerald ash borer disease; and
