Subject:Request for 30-Day Delay – Downtown Oak
Dear Mayor and Council Members,
I am writing to respectfully request a short 30-day delay before removal of the mature oak at the future
Performing Arts Theater site proceeds.
I understand the importance of the theater project to our downtown community. However, given that the oak
remains standing and construction has not yet begun, I believe a brief feasibility window to explore
preservation alternatives is warranted before an irreversible step is taken.
A short pause to allow independent architectural and structural review, along with transparent cost comparison
of preservation scenarios, would demonstrate due diligence and reinforce the city’s commitment to
stewardship.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lauren Hartley
