Hey Susan,
The ROW spacing was established mainly to deter crowding within the treebelt and to avoid
line-of-sight conflicts. If the intent of planting shrubbery closely to eachother between private
properties is to establish a live/green privacy wall then I just assume to allow it.
I also see that there are 19 American Hornbeams proposed on the site, including one in the
City ROW. I would prefer to see a different species than Am Hornbeam. Maybe just another
Shadblow.
Lastly, was there a tree survey completed for this project? I know there is one large mature
Oak along the road on Richard Ave that I am interested to know if it is being removed and if it
sits within City ROW.
Thanks

Hi Steve and Matt,
The Planning Board will be reviewing the attached planting plan at their meeting tomorrow
night. The Chair is concerned about the spacing of the trees and shrubs between lots 1 and
2. The UDO says 30 ft. between deciduous trees and 3 ft. between shrubs in the treebelt.
Should we use this for on-site trees too?
Thanks!!
