Commission allows removal of two hazardous trees at 5 Hope Lane with habitat‑snag condition; Mark Doobie request tabled pending tagging
Summary
After a site visit and a report from Northeast Tree, the commission allowed the homeowner at 5 Hope Lane to remove two compromised trees provided they leave 8‑foot snags for habitat. A separate request from Mark Doobie to remove trees at 3 Mentor Circle was tabled until the trees are tagged by a professional and a removal/trimming plan is submitted.
The commission reviewed two separate tree‑removal matters. For 5 Hope Lane, commissioners, a homeowner and Pam from Northeast Tree conducted a site visit; the arborist indicated the trees were in poor condition and could pose a hazard. Commissioners agreed to permit removal of the two trees but required that an 8‑foot snag be left in place for wildlife habitat value. Staff will notify the homeowner and Northeast Tree of the condition.
Separately, a request from Mark Doobie for tree removal at 3 Mentor Circle was discussed. The commission asked the applicant to have a tree company tag trees to be removed and those to be trimmed (different colored tags) and tabled action until the tagged plan is submitted so commissioners can approve a specific list of trees.
