During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around the removal of several trees as part of a landscape plan. The meeting highlighted the removal of tree number 9 and tree number 47, which had been identified in an arborist report. Tree number 47, located near a bench and a chicken coop, has left behind a significant stump following its removal.

Concerns were raised regarding the status of tree number 11, which was noted to remain in the landscape architect's preliminary plan. The meeting participants sought clarification on the discrepancies between the arborist report and the landscape plan.

The applicant addressed the committee, explaining that tree number 9 had been removed due to damage sustained during a winter storm, which also affected the roof of a nearby guest house. They indicated that a tree company was hired to manage the removal and repair efforts. Additionally, the applicant reported that tree number 47 had succumbed to a sudden disease, necessitating its removal.

The meeting underscored the importance of clear communication regarding tree management and the implications of their removal on the surrounding environment. Further discussions are expected to ensure that all parties are aligned on the landscape plan and the health of remaining trees.
