I would like to see the tree code less restrictive/expensive for private property. Id much rather see programs that instead focus on planting/maintaining trees on public ROW.
Is this the "gridlock" that a candidate for City Council is concerned about? I would also like consideration for people that need/want to remove trees from their property. I believe that a reasonable person can differentiate between a homeowner with limited resources that needs to save their roof, vs a developer that promises affordable housing if they can clear cut several lots and add a large percentage of hardscape. I understand that writing that into a code is something else.
When the three homes were built west of the entrance to the Richmond Beach Saltwater Park , our city lost a legacy sized madrone. ZERO replacement trees have been planted. This corrupt practice needs to be addressed.
All those trees that were coming down in shoreline was nonsense. You’re taking away our view. Keep shoreline beautiful and STOP TAKING OUR TREES
