Page 13 1 Kipp, the Town Forester, who is the ultimate surveyor 2 of the Ordinance verifying our compliance with the new 3 ordinance in terms of the counts, in terms of the 4 species. 5 BOARD MEMBER SCOTT: Thank you. Would it 6 be fair to say that if you cut the trees that you 7 propose to cut along the fence, the fence line on 8 Prospect Avenue and Mount Pleasant, it would remove the 9 screening that we were just discussing? 10 THE WITNESS: It will remove some of the 11 trees. A lot of the ones on Prospect Avenue have 12 already been removed. And that was at the direction of 13 the previous Forester, Ron Carr, who approached PSE&G 14 directly because they were posing a hazard. Limbs were 15 falling on the road. That was taken under advisement. 16 Those trees have been removed, so the safety hazard has 17 been taken care of. A lot of those trees on that 18 frontage have already been removed. We're not 19 proposing on removing many more. The only reason would 20 be, again, for the health of the trees only, not for 21 the tree replacement. 22 As you go on to Mount Pleasant we are 23 proposing, we're moving trees around the entry area for 24 the realignment of the road and the bioretention basins 25 and the fence installation. So there's a lot of work
