Abutters approve tree removals but ask trustees to remove all debris at Wells Cemetery
Summary
Stella and Don Butterfield, abutters to Wells Cemetery, told trustees they consent to cutting two trees (one on their property and one on the border) but requested that the trustees or contractor completely remove branches and wood chips; trustees agreed and said the contractor will get written permission from the Butterfields.
Abutters Stella and Don Butterfield attended the Cemetery Trustees meeting to discuss a tree‑removal request affecting Wells Cemetery. The trustees described two trees: one entirely on the Butterfields' property and another on the shared border. Stella Butterfield said the trustees could cut both trees but asked that all cut material be removed.
The minutes record Stella’s instruction on cleanup: "she wants us to remove the trees completely including cleaning up branches and chips." Trustees agreed to convey that requirement to the company that performs the work and said the contractor would contact Stella to secure written permission before proceeding.
