Board approves removal of three pine trees at 136 Boone Drive
Summary
After deliberation the board approved removal of three backyard pine trees at 136 Boone Drive, citing structural concerns for one and homeowner safety for another.
The Summerville Tree Protection Board approved removal of three pine trees at 136 Boone Drive after discussing tree form and potential risk to the house.
Board members described one of the pines as having a marginally included bark area or codominant U-shaped crown that raised concern about long-term stability; another site pine had poor form and the board said it would remove the trees for homeowner safety. "If that was in my yard, I would probably like to have it removed as well," one board member said.
The motion to allow removal of all three pines in the backyard passed by voice vote; two had been approved previously at the staff level and the board addressed the remaining tree during the meeting.
