8:10 pm Meeting - RDA, 5 Malt Lane DET# 12-22 Removal of a tree within the 100-foot Buffer Zone Documentation: RDA Application Present for the Applicant: Donald and Nancy Rosenfield, Homeowners Mr. Rosenfield proposed the removal of a tree that overhangs his lawn because it is bowed-over, unattractive, and blocks the light in the backyard. Comments from the Commission as follows: Mr. Hamilton asked if the stump would be removed or left. Mr. Bitsko commented that this particular tree family can re-grow after it is cut down. Mr. Bitsko explained that the Black Walnut is a native tree and not invasive. However, the Black Walnut is allelopathic which can poison the lawn. Mr. Bitsko suggested vista pruning the tree because it is in a resource area and does not pose a safety issue. Ms. Warren asked the applicants if trimming would suffice. Mr. Hamilton asked the applicants if they were working with an arborist. Mr. Hamilton read the regulations of vista pruning. Motion made and seconded to continue the meeting to October 30, 2012 at the request of the applicant, 6-0 in favor. 8:31 pm Cont.
