Board delegates decision on tree removal at old China Bistro to planning staff
Summary
The Planning Board discussed a request to remove trees at 95 Lake Street (former China Bistro) and formed a consensus to have Director John Ayer determine whether a site‑plan amendment is required because the property lies in the commercial zone and is controlled by a site plan.
Planning staff raised a request to cut trees at the old China Bistro site at 95 Lake Street. Director John Ayer noted the site is governed by an existing site plan because it is commercial property; some board members questioned whether a site‑plan amendment should be required and whether the property lies in a protected shoreland.
Ayer said the site is not within the protected shoreland and that the site plan controls the property; the board formed a consensus to leave the decision to his judgment about whether an amendment is needed. No formal motion or vote was recorded on the removal itself.
