Description
The commission discussed this floodplain development, where buildings will be raised on garages about 4.5 feet above the flood elevation. They're waiting on square footage and survey info to calculate required trees.
Impact summary
Removals include two substantial pines near the sidewalk, but if honeysuckle is cleared and edges replanted, the commissioners think it could net more trees than are lost.
