A. PLANNING ACTION: TREE-2020-00124
SUBJECT PROPERTY: 365 Strawberry Lane
APPLICANT: Table Rock Tree
OWNER: Potts / Esterling
DESCRIPTION: A request for approval to a total of five trees at 365 Strawberry Lane. However, after reviewing the application the fifth tree, a healthy pine measuring 22-inches DBH, won’t be considered at this time, and instead will be considered concurrent with a future planning action for the development of a new building. The four trees that are remaining to be considered are a dead Oak 19-inch DBH, a dying oak eight-inches DBH, dead pine 11-inches DBH, and a dead pine measuring 25-inches DBH. Dead trees are exempt from tree removal permits, so the only tree truly being applied for removal is the dying eight-inch oak. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Rural Residential; ZONING: RR-.5; MAP: 39 1E 08 AC; TAX LOT: 602
