Hello Dave on this beautiful fall day, I just stopped by Ace hardware in CountrySide and noticed that the house across the street at 2 Rolfe Rd is nearing completion. So I looked in OpenGov for the status and in the Tree Warden Review I saw the following: "5 trees were removed from the property totaling 114", you need to pay $300 for every tree not planted for a total of $11,400. Also you need to pay the tree fee of $10 per inch, $1,140.00" In keeping with your request to email you when questions arise (as opposed to including in a long report), here are a few of points that I hope you can clarify: What do the words "$300 for every tree not planted mean"? Under this application it is $100 per inch so a 3 inch tree not planted requires a $300 payment. Looking at the plot plan and the actual site now, I can't determine which 5 trees total 114 inches. Can you please indicate which ones they are and what side of the corner lot has been considered to be the front? The front of the property is Rolfe Road. The trees are marked on the attached plan. The $1,140 fee seems to reflect $10/inch, not the current rate of $20/inch.The permit was pulled before the new fee was in effect. The $11,400 mitigation seems to reflect $100/inch, not the current rate of $200/inch.The permit was pulled before the new fee was in effect. Thanks so much, Gerry When writing or responding, please be aware that the Massachusetts Secretary of State has determined that most email is a public record and, therefore, may not be kept confidential.
