She noted that information that stated she was concerned about the trees on the Utter/Sensenbrenner proper- ty did not reflect her true concern. She saw no reason for a request of ten feet of property on Altamont, and no reason to widen the road at Altamont. She acknowledged the need to widen the road on Page Mill Road, but is concerned that the applicant must move the fence on Altamont since it will cost about four thousand dollars. Referring to Conditions 10 and 11 on the report, she stated that her concern for the trees on the property was because they were the only trees on the property and if taken over by the Town might not be properly cared for. -2-
