Tree Removal - September 2014 - Video
SOUTH BEND - An ordinance in the city of South Bend that mandates residents pay for the removal of trees on their tree lawn is raising concern. Property owners in South Bend are expected to pay anywhere from 400 to 1,500 dollars for the removal of hazardous trees.
Regina Hankins, a single mother of two, has been living in South Bend for 26 years. Last month, Hankins received a notice from the city requiring her to remove an Ash tree located on the tree lawn in front of her house.
"It's ridiculous to have to cut down a freaking' tree that you didn't even plant" says Hankins. Not knowing what to do, Hankins turned to District 3 Councilwoman, Valerie Schey, for help.
Schey believes the city needs to evaluate their budget priorities to make the city's residents number one. "While we continue to spend quite a bit on revitalizing our downtown, I worry that we are doing so at the expense of our residents" says Schey.
Director of Communications for the city of South Bend told FOX28 "We welcome further discussions about this issue during the budget process and we will work to keep residents informed of the longstanding municipal code that makes trees on their property, including tree lawns, the responsibility of homeowners. As well as, the city's tree removal program."
Schey however, believes the city should be doing more for their residents, especially when tax money pays for city upkeep. "I don't think that you can turn a blind eye to the residents who are essentially footing the bill for all that" says Schey.
The ordinance has been in place since 1962 and in fact states that property owners are responsible for removal of trees on their property - including the tree lawn. To read the entire ordinance follow this link and click on section 19.
The city also says residents can call the City Forester or parks department to discuss possible removal payment plans or go through a private tree-removal service. However, they say a private service may cost double or even triple what the city is charging.

Tree Removal Work Closed Southbound Right Lane on Rt. 29
This summer has seen an exponential growth in ash trees infested by the emerald ash borer on both public and private property in Lake Forest, according to City Forester Peter Gordon.
Since June 9, part-time forestry section staff have identified 1,780 ash trees on public property, with 1,172 tagged for removal on side streets, 573 tagged for removal on main roads, 145 in West Park and Northcroft Park, and 35 tagged in parking lots.
Another 142 ash trees were identified along Waukegan Road and five along Townline Road, both state roads owned by the Illinois Department of Transportation. Their removal is the responsibility of the state, Gordon said.
On private property, city crews have tagged another 3,702 ash trees.
These trees pose a threat to the public health or safety or public properties, Gordon said in his report to the City Council at its meeting on Sept. 2.
Figures show the city budgeted $200,000 in fiscal year 2015 for removal of damaged ash trees, with nearly 1,500 to be removed in all by a contractor, which is doing the bulk of the work, and city crews.
Removals are less than half completed and are far outpacing money available, Gordon said.
Removing trees that are hazardous and dead will continue to be the main focus, followed by removing trees on main roads and then side streets, he said.
To reduce contractual costs, the forestry section is attempting to remove 600 infested ash trees a year.
At the same time as the ash-tree removal is taking place, the city like other municipalities has to deal with diseased and dying trees of other species.

Ash tree infestation increases exponentially in Lake Forest
LEMONT An informal tree survey by theLemont Park District determined that about 507 of its 1,288 trees have been affected by the emerald ash borer, according to a park district news release.
Northview Park on McCarthy Road and Centennial Park on 127th Street have been most affected.
According to the release, a majority of the trees in the two parks most affected were not planted as part of a landscape plan but self propagated over time.
The park district will have to remove 182 trees from Northview Park, which is first on the list for tree removal.
Director of Maintenance and Planning Dawn Banks said the Northview Park tree removal is expected to cost $9,800 and should start in a couple of weeks, weather permitting.
The rate comes out to about $54 per tree, on average. By comparison, the Village of Lemont paid about $205 per tree, on average, to remove 252 ash trees on parkways in two subdivision.
Banks and Lemont Public Works Director Ralph Pukula said the smaller size of the park district trees and more concentrated area the trees will be removed from were part of the reason the park district paid less.
While the staff is working on a tree replacement plan to fit into future budgets, the immediate concern is removing the dead trees, according to the release.
With the number of dead trees in Northview Park and the age of its playground, the Lemont Park District Board and staff will work on a new master plan for renovating the park.
The process, which is expected to take about two years, will include various planning meetings, design research, budget consideration and a bidding process before construction starts.

If you are a husband, you may want to hide the newspaper this morning.
Or am I being presumptuously sexist, assuming that only male spouses will be affected by what Im about to reveal?
And who reads the newspaper today, anyway? Odds are youre reading this on your mobile phone, which is entirely under your control, its browsing history a secret between you and the NSA.
All Im saying is, dont let your wife (or husband [or partner]) see this column.
Anyway, to the matter at hand: Some months ago, I wrote about the battle that breaks out every morning in the Kelly bathroom. By mutual agreement, whoever takes the last shower has to squeegee down the tiled walls. This is to reduce the moisture, which can allow mold and mildew to get a beach head in the grout.
After that column ran, several colleagues informed me that their wives were inspired to institute a similar regimen in their homes. Their bitter message to me: Thanks a lot, John.
What they didnt know wont know until now (hide the paper) is that we no longer do that in my house. No, what we do is much worse.
Several readers e-mailed to say that a squeegee pales in comparison to a super-absorbent towel. These towels, they said, magically wick away moisture, leaving surfaces dry and clean.
I made the mistake of mentioning this to My Lovely Wife. So now whoever takes the last shower has to towel off the tile.
Big deal, you say? Well careful research has proven that the towel does work well, but only after squeegeeing. Now, the last person to take a shower has to squeegee it, then wipe it with a towel.

Kelly: A little bit of everything, from shower towels to work trucks
Midway, UT (PRWEB) September 03, 2014
In the 1970's, the LDS Church studied which roofs would provide them with the best "life-cycle cost" and decided that concrete tile roofs was the best option. They incorporated a standard plan for meetinghouses nationwide that specified concrete roof tile which Terry Anderson assisted in designing and writing.
When the architectural specifications were finished Anderson recalls, "I thought it was the best tile roof spec in the industry."
The practice of specifying and installing concrete tile roofs continued until the mid 1990's and Anderson was a consultant on many of them. But, a system-wide roof warranty from tile manufacturers was not required on those projects (they warrant only product) and when roofs failed due to damage from sliding snow and ice, vandalism and original installations that did not follow architectural specifications, Church leadership switched over to asphalt shingles and other roofs that warranted the entire roof system.
In the last few years, there has been a new desire to offer other roof standards for Church meetinghouses including a system warranted concrete tile roof and Terry Anderson, who now owns TRA Snow and Sun, is once again advising the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on roofs of new meetinghouses.
Anderson is well known in the roofing industry for his expertise in concrete tile (i.e.: Bartile, Eagle Tile, Boral Tile) and for inventing the original Snow Bracket for tile. Anderson is best known for co-authoring the Concrete and Clay Tile Roof Design Criteria Manual for Cold and Snow Regions. He is a long-standing member of the TRI (Tile Roof Institute) and the Western States Roofing Contractors Association and also contributed to the content of the Moderate Climate Guide Concrete and Clay Tile Installation Manual for Moderate Climate Regions.
"I have always believed that tile roofs are the best choice if you want a good life-cycle cost, so I was frustrated the Church moved away from tile. As a general rule asphalt shingles on the churches have only been lasting about 17 years and then they have to be replaced. Most concrete tile lasts much longer than that if installed properly. I am happy to be helping the Church design new specifications and details and work with them to get a complete tile roof system with a system warranty."
The new LDS Church specification that Anderson is helping design is considered a "cold roof system." The new specification calls for a counter-batten system. This system allows air movement underneath the tile , which increases the life of the underlayment, cools the structure in the summer by allowing heat to escape, and keeping the roof an even temperature in the winter which reduces the risk of ice dams at the eave. Ultimately this will not just result in a longer life cycle for the roof, but also provide savings in energy.
Eagle Tile, of Southern California, and Bartile, of Centerville, Utah, are training installers whose certification they will stand behind, insuring that the on-site installers know exactly how to properly follow the church specifications. Both companies are currently working with the Church to provide warranties for not just their tile, but the entire roof system. This is possible due to detailed specifications, clearly drawn details, certified installers, inspections at key points in the construction process, and at completion, certification that the roof has been installed as specified.
Two roof projects in Utah with concrete tile roofs are being re-roofed using the new, improved concrete tile cold roof system. They are located in Midway and American Fork.
WORK is well underway on a project at an Abergele hotel which is set to create 20 full and part time jobs. Darren Millar, Assembly member for Clwyd West, joined the directors from the Kinmel Manor Hotel for a tile laying ceremony for their new hydrotherapy pool on Tuesday. The new facility is part of a 1.2m refurbishment programme which is in progress at the hotel.
Work is expected to be completed at the end of this year and an official launch will take place in January.
The hotel - to be renamed the Kinmel - will boast a luxury spa with six treatment rooms, a gymnasium, sauna, steam room, hydrotherapy pool and a relaxation room.
Mr Millar said: The added advantage of a development of this scale is that it also brings additional employment in the area. This is welcome news as we continue to work towards economic recovery.
The new facilities at the Kinmel Manor will also inevitably attract new business, both corporate and private individuals, who will see first-hand the advantages of North Wales as both a business and leisure destination.
Tom Morpeth, hotel manager, added: The new spa facility and hotel upgrade will now give us the opportunity to enhance our reputation as a destination hotel of choice.
It is an exciting time in the history of The Kinmel Manor and the re-launch also includes the recruitment of additional personnel to support a package of products and services.
