Alter tract business:

• Lot 76 had multiple requests for fencing around their property and tree removal. Some of the trees are probably on the green belt and their exact location needs to be determined. Arleen reminded us that all green belt trees need to be removed by licensed and bonded tree services. The homeowner can decide how trees are removed on their own property. Fran Feil will talk to her neighbor about the fence. Vote on Lot 76 Alter tract at March meeting.
• Lot 98 – Request to remove/trim trees in the greenbelt. The board agreed to put the request for Lot 98 at the top of the priority list for tree removal. Wait on fence AT. RM described Lot 98, 130 tree disputes. AM and KK responded.
• Lot 130 – There was discussion about the multiple trees near Lot 130 with difficulty accessing the greenbelt for tree removal. Many neighbors want to leave as many trees as possible.
• Lot 32 has requested tree removal for a tree over the fence but has not submitted an alter tract. Steve will contact and discuss with his neighbor.

                Lot 97 – Bob reports that lot 97 is requesting tree removal but has not submitted alter tract. Bob will contact the neighbor and

help with the form as necessary. Requested by AM

• E-mail requests are not sufficient and alter tract forms are necessary for work requests.

 

Next meeting:
