Board members said the typical memorial package—tree, planting and plaque—costs roughly $500 and that organizers are already collecting donations. Linda and others said the family is in contact with the board and that placement options include a pull-in area just past Little Hunting Creek Park or other sites within the Fox Harbor community. Members cautioned that some park areas are seasonally wet and that they should confirm a site that suits the family’s preference.

Board members also noted other existing memorial trees in Little Hunting Creek Park, including a dawn redwood that has thrived after being relocated from a median. The board agreed to continue coordinating with the family and to take photographs of established plantings for the newsletter and records.","The board discussed planting a memorial tree for a Fox Harbor resident, estimated the cost at about $500 for tree, planting and plaque, and said donations are already being collected; the family’s preferences are being consulted.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6538731,"Transportation Cabinet orders lower speed on US 42; Forestation Board urged to attend July public meeting",0,1898000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800592-56bb1faaeffb9622ae0190f22caa9352&start=1898&end=1898","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800592-56bb1faaeffb9622ae0190f22caa9352/thumbnail_1898000.jpg","/articles/6538731/Prospect/Jefferson-County/Kentucky/Transportation-Cabinet-orders-lower-speed-on-US-42-Forestation-Board-urged-to-attend-July-public-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538731-5bba65333ee087068b1736a4e31e7a20/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171127&Signature=EOVxE8NT-9znXS-8CCbOWqTCuzQAKoFlvD2kvQTLrw0-5TQglPWyi~uZjuOPwlpKml2osrdOKIrR-ldhumwdwPWrADvx5AHZOZgZq05izYIXMUMfHrc4oZB9naCCJ0TNvzxIfMTN0fyu78oQDqHGSi1lgP8E98qELvNFu4oMGQN8Z6UQyfMhO9OesIuG6~UXr~psVKPd9fdkHOOEbD1mOF--bK8aUvHJIjFxe9mlrzjdQHEAryv1g3CIpP5qAfdeM7UmYM1N5-13SXdoLKiI1spSGJW1CuuJTirCaxB4Gbt8FkU9mLYlhl78WMKMNMb-wsO2pwUhdRkxChokkttTzg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Prospect officials told the Forestation Board on June 12 that the state Transportation Cabinet had signed an order lowering the speed limit on US 42 from 45 to 35 mph and that transportation improvements, including roundabouts and an expanded right-of-way, are planned for the corridor.

At the meeting Mayor Doug (referred to in discussion) and Herb said the cabinet’s order is intended to align posted speeds with the proposed roundabout design. Herb said a public hearing will be scheduled in mid-July and urged board members to attend. Linda noted the board should consider proactive planning for trees that may be removed or relocated when the right-of-way is widened.

Herb described the public meeting as likely to be on Wednesday, July 16, at Saint Francis Episcopal Church and said transportation representatives would present diagrams and videos. Board members discussed possible tree planting or memorialing farther back from US 42 where the future right-of-way might require removing street trees.

Board members asked staff to monitor the project schedule and bring details to the next meeting so the Forestation Board can identify trees at risk and recommend replacements to mitigate canopy loss.","Prospect officials reported a signed order lowering the speed limit on US 42 from 45 to 35 mph and discussed upcoming public meetings about planned roundabouts and a widened right-of-way; board members were encouraged to attend and plan proactively for tree impacts.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6538735,"Forestation Board identifies hazardous street trees, staff to remove three on Fox Meadow",958,42000,1000000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3800592-56bb1faaeffb9622ae0190f22caa9352&start=42&end=1000","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3800592-56bb1faaeffb9622ae0190f22caa9352/thumbnail_42000.jpg","/articles/6538735/Prospect/Jefferson-County/Kentucky/Forestation-Board-identifies-hazardous-street-trees-staff-to-remove-three-on-Fox-Meadow","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6538735-4c594f3d6fe2c2b73c41e6b10aa877c4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771171127&Signature=gAh7hlQXChOk9KfDMv94Wjl8CQdXCPiOkCk0-a1aoq-DJo9T7DMg7bE5NXxXD8lW03zxPOmomBR4lUh52Bru0qZ-X6tzYMCabJw4AkwehTI-2XY8NBSfrnGbdnuvD3LDo3pELVuU1N3sdn7cwaKivNggbmlVcJ6vtYGoNBI1fsqLZ8f~kGWtwi1~TYSsHwQ4n9eCHsM~6kyuglKThty9ZmIPpZfZMkGr7knAVHWqVGtT9tDeC5tFdw9DolH1FJ3hfMHI129N4G3BMWvczesWi1yFfO7itBPhhq8PHvjesDlSxPxcp-C-XnETXqLW8q589VrZDN9BY3KiAQb~mV8MuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Prospect Forestation Board reviewed reports of multiple hazardous or declining trees across the city on June 12 and instructed staff to arrange removal of three specified trees on Fox Meadow Drive.

Board members and the board consultant discussed inspections and property ownership for trees reported at Fox Harbor, Deep Creek, Sutherland Farm Drive, Fox Meadow Drive and other locations. Consultant Andrea said she had photographed sites and emailed the board about specific hazardous trees and that she would “go on and have [the three Fox Meadow] removed.”

The board emphasized ownership distinctions after concerns about a large dead ash tree overhanging city property from an adjacent private lot on Sutherland Farm Drive. Ron and other members clarified that the ash stands on private property but that portions hang over city right-of-way; board members said the adjoining property owner, identified as Luca Wallace, would be contacted about removal. Linda and others noted some locations were in condominium or apartment parking areas and therefore not city property.

Andrea described several specific cases: a variegated dogwood and another small tree declining in the Fox Harbor median; a large dead ash near Wallace Farm that is covered in poison ivy and has begun dropping limbs; and several smaller dead trees (a honey locust, an ash approximately 10 inches in diameter, and a mostly dead purple-leaf plum) along Sutherland Farm Drive and Fox Meadow Drive approaches. Herb and other members agreed to follow up on homeowner contacts and city removals where trees are on municipal property.

Board members also discussed prior plantings: green giant arborvitae installed two years earlier on Fox Meadow are doing well, and a dawn redwood moved to Little Hunting Creek Park is thriving. The board reiterated that when hazardous trees are on private lots, resolution is primarily a private matter unless a public-safety risk on city property is evident.

The board concluded with staff follow-up assignments and a request that photographs and location details be circulated so crews can schedule removals.

The meeting ended with a separate motion to adjourn later in the agenda.","Prospect's Forestation Board reviewed new hazardous-tree reports across multiple neighborhoods, clarified which trees are on private property, and directed staff to remove three declining trees on Fox Meadow Drive; no formal vote was recorded.","actionData","errors"]
