Cedar removed for new housing.Byline: Greg Bolt The Register-Guard Residents of a west university neighborhood mourned the loss of a large cedar tree cut down Wednesday morning to make room for a new apartment building. The tree was removed legally, but some neighbors said they were unaware that the big cedar near the corner of East 15th Avenue and Mill Street would be cut so soon. At least one other tree also was to be removed for the project. Thomas Stanley Thomas Stanley may refer to one of several people:

Deborah Healey, who lives about a block away, said the West University Neighbors had worked with owner Peter Pagter to come up with a way to save the tree but were unable to reach a solution. She said they had hoped for another chance to discuss it and weren't expecting the tree's end to come Wednesday. "It was a beautiful, old tree," she said. "The whole neighborhood will be poorer for the loss of that tree." Kent Kullby, a land use analyst for the city, said that once the building permit was issued, the owner had a legal right to remove the tree without getting special permission. The tree was on the interior portion of the lot and was not considered a street tree, which requires additional review to remove.
