(staff - Debbie Pedro) Staff had nothing further to add to the report. Discussion ensued regarding the three heritage oak trees to be removed plus the one tree that was removed when the house was built (total of four). The exact location of the three trees were clarified. OPENED PUBLIC HEARING Bill Burger, applicant, stated that there was always only three trees to be removed. The north east tree was actually two trees growing together. He came to Town Hall last October with an arborist report for approval to remove that tree which was approved. Their objective is to replace the damaged trees with three trees each. He felt that the multi -oak tree can be saved and his objective would be to move it now and relocate it this fall when the weather conditions are optimal. The plans indicate the nine replacement trees and none will impact any ones views.
