HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe Tree RemovalI tried to send this earlier but I got return errors. Is email from me being blocked? >Please find a PDF of our county's historical resources and enter into the city's records. Resources for our city are also included. I will be sharing this with a new group I started called the Cape Canaveral Heritage Council and we will be working on it and may reference in in future communications. Sorry if I sent it to any parties where it is irrelevant as I don't have all the functions of the different departments down pat yet.

Regarding number 2 below in addition to the replacement of evasive trees with native trees that would apply also to dead Bay trees being replaced with live native trees too And one more item please. Can you send me an doc of the appeals process for tree removal? Is there a way it can be deferred to a special committee like P&Z or Board of Adjustments? I appreciate and respect the difficult position you are in. Please remember we are a tree city with the Arbor Day Foundation.

I look forward to getting the docs regarding my public record request soon. Also, I have some other questions about this process that you or maybe somebody else on this list can answer. 1) Is there a mechanism that will ensure that only the trees listed in the report are removed? 2) Regarding the removal of the evasive species trees, will they be replaced with native trees? I and others believe it is imperative that we maintain the bio-diversity of our area. We have Ospreys and migratory birds of various species using these trees and it will lose it's natural charm if there are no trees. Not to mention endanger the infrastructure of the land.

Some with termite work on them, but most do down by the water. I know I can count on the city to continue its normal equal treatment and justice for all policy. I am glad the loudest voice and most money does not influence the way we govern in our great city. Thanks for the heads up and serving the citizens.
