Board reviews proposal to clear roadside trees on Arthur Miller Road; asks for erosion and replacement plan
Summary
The board reviewed a memo to clear trees along Arthur Miller Road right-of-way to remove trees at risk from emerald ash borer. The public works director supports the work; the board asked for follow-up on erosion control and replacement planting and deferred final approval.
The Select Board considered a request to remove select trees in the Arthur Miller Road right-of-way to reduce risk from emerald ash borer and to avoid future safety problems. The memo recommended clearing trees currently at risk; public-works director Greg Fulton supports the contract but could not attend the meeting.
Board members asked staff to provide more information on erosion controls and whether replaced plantings would be required before approving work. The municipal manager suggested tabling the item until the next meeting if no immediate urgency exists; members agreed to gather additional details and to bring the matter back for formal approval when replacement and erosion plans are available.
The board noted the work should proceed only with appropriate environmental safeguards and oversight from public works.
