Resident urges tree removal on Park Closa Drive to improve farm-equipment sightlines
Summary
A speaker asked the board to remove or relocate trees at paved entrances on Park Closa Drive that block the view for farm equipment, describing close calls and requesting one tree removed or trimmed on each side of the entrances; staff agreed to check relocation and traffic-control options.
During the public-comment portion, a speaker raised a safety concern about trees on Park Closa Drive that block sightlines for farm equipment using paved entrances. The speaker described repeated near-miss incidents where the elevated cab of a sprayer could not see motorists until already in the roadway and asked the board to remove or relocate one tree on each side of the field entrances or to trim them low enough to allow safe egress.
Board members and staff discussed options including relocating affected trees (likely in the fall), trimming, or coordinating traffic control during work; a staff member offered to check with the contractor and assist with traffic control when removal or relocation occurs. The speaker said he could provide photographs from the cab to demonstrate the visibility issue. No formal vote was taken; staff agreed to follow up.
