DESCRIPTION: A request for a Tree Removal Permit to remove a 49 ½-inch diameter at breast height (d.b.h.) Black Walnut Tree which straddles the property line between 488 North Main Street and the adjacent vacant property at the corner. An arborist has assessed the tree as having Thousand Cankers Disease, and has identified the presence of Walnut Twig Beetle.
