Comments Hi there - I saw the tree plans that were submitted. A few
questions and concerns. I will try to come to the workshop - it
seems like a haphazard selection of trees because evergreen
coverage goes to the ground versus a chokecherry tree where
you'd be able to see easily left/right of the trunk?

How will the tree border be filled so there is a barrier? The
board has asked for a few of what it would look like from our
properties and I don't see that fulfilled.
I have a few MAJOR concerns with the varying trees for a few
reason beyond evergreens.
a. The proposed chokecherry trees planted behind my house
(11 Outlook) have toxic berries - 9 and 11 Outlook have dogs
that could have berries drop in our yards based on how close
these trees will mature.
b. I have an extreme allergy to birch trees (which are proposed
to be at 9 Outlook) --- to the point I can't eat certain foods
because they mimic birch tree pollen. The proposed trees
would be right next to my property. This would be
DETRIMENTAL to my health and allowing me to enjoy my
backyard. When buying my house that was a decision factor of
where I live -- especially with Saratoga being a city full of trees.
Thank you for your consideration.
