He was not sure of the thought process of removing the existing <br />30 trees? Some theories include not wanting to deal with the trees during the construction <br />31 process or not liking the original species. Finally, Commissioner Stoner confirmed that in <br />32 addition to having to replant each tree there is a fine that is charged for each removed tree. <br />33 Commissioner Stoner questioned if the amount of trees that were removed indicates that the <br />34 current finerate is not high enough? <br />35 <br />36 Commissioner O’Brien confirmed that this is a private development and the Commission <br />37 Tree Board only has oversight of trees on public land. <br />38 <br />39 Former Commissioner Warzecha noted her disappointment with the removal of native trees <br />40 and the replanting with non-native trees. <br />41 <br />5 5 55 <br /> <br />
