Please see the link for the reasons why a replacement tree should be at least 3 ft from the old stump. A replacement ash won’t get ash borer from the old stump but if emerald ash borers are in your neighborhood replacement ash will be infected.

Maple wilt is a disease that affect a number of trees and especially maple so planting a tree that is resistant to maple wilt would be best. Please see the link for a list of resistant trees.
