Tree Board Meeting
The Tree Board meeting addressed a tree removal application for four trees at a local residence. The board approved the removal of three poplar trees, requiring them to be replaced one-for-one with native trees, and stipulated that stumps should not be ground down on slopes greater than 15%. Regarding a maple tree on the property, the board opted to remove it from the immediate application pending an arborist's assessment of its condition, with a provision for potential future approval based on documented damage. Additionally, the chair provided an update on a recently passed town council amendment regarding application requirements and review timelines for tree removal requests.
