Meeting - RDA, 5 Malt Lane DET# 12-22 Removal of a Black Walnut tree within the 100-foot Buffer Zone Documentation: RDA Application and Arborist Letter October 19, 2012 Present for the Applicant: Don Rosenfield, Homeowner Mr. Rosenfield proposed the removal of a Black Walnut tree. He stated that pruning it will not be sufficient enough. Comments from the Commission as follows: Ms. Warren stated that the tree would be difficult to prune because it is significantly bowed over. Mr. Langseth asked if Mr. Rosenfield would replace the removed tree with other native species. Mr. Wolk commented that the tree would be taken down for aesthetic reasons and it would set a precedent for others that want to take down trees. Mr. Hamilton asked Mr. Bitsko if it was a possibility for another native species to be planted in the same area. Mr. Bitsko explained that if it is planted in the same area then the same bowing over would occur. He stated that the Black Walnut provides value to the wetlands and the planting plan needs to provide a greater value. Motion made and seconded to continue the meeting to an unspecified date at the request of the applicant, 6-0 in favor (Mr. Langseth was unable to vote due to absence at the last meeting). 8:26 pm Hearing - NOI, 4 Turning Mill Road DEP# 201-876, BL 834 Home addition within the 100-foot Buffer Zone Documentation: NOI Application Present for the Applicant: George Dimakarakos, Stamski & McNary, Inc.
