SUBJECT: Recognize Tree Escrow Payments for the 2023 Urban Forestry Budget
RECOMMENDATION:
2023-438
Urban Forestry recommends the recognition of $101,992.00 in tree escrow payments and interest received in
the escrow — Tree Ordinance Account, which is to be used for tree planting projects at various locations
throughout the City of Fayetteville, and approval of a budget adjustment.
BACKGROUND:
Our unified development code, chapter 167.04 J4 allows developers to pay into a tree escrow account as a last
option for planting trees. From 2015 to 2020, staff collected no escrow funds, and developers planted the trees.
In 2021, staff received funds from projects on Freshwater Lane, and off Old Wire Road.
In 2022, Weddington Place subdivision, Stonebrook, and Crain Kia paid into the tree escrow fund instead of
planting the required trees.
DISCUSSION:
The money collected into the tree escrow account was paid as a last resort for developers. These funds will
help Urban Forestry plant trees throughout the City.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
$101,992.00 to be recognized and available in the escrow account.
