Tree talk dominated a meeting of the Edgartown board of selectmen Monday, as they reviewed three requests for shade tree removals.

In Edgartown, trees that stand within a public way cannot be removed without a hearing in front of the selectmen.

One hearing concerned a property at 96 South Summer street, where major renovations will bring the facade of the house to face the street.

Landscape architect Kristen Reimann presented her proposal, which would remove seven trees at the downtown property, and replace them with two to three American elms.

Most of them are either in fair or poor condition, Ms. Reimann explained of the trees slated to come down.

The trees form part of a vegetated screen that currently shields the house from the street, and selectmen said they wished to preserve the wooded character of the public way.

It would be nice to see a plan that would put back the canopy that is being removed, said selectman Michael Donaroma, who added that the trees obscure the wiring that hangs over the street.

He said replacing seven trees with three seemed weak to him. The tree group includes a sycamore maple, a Japanese maple, a weeping willow, an apple tree and a pair of American elms.

But Ms. Reimann said the planned renovations would include a street-facing porch, which makes planting shade trees in front undesirable.

It is going to be difficult to recreate whats there because we are changing essentially the facade of the house on the street, and the current house is set much further back, Ms. Reimann said. So it is going to be a change in the character, in the relationship of the house to the street.

WEST LEBANON The city airport plans to remove 32 acres of trees on airport property by the end of next year, according to a recently released final environmental assessment for the proposed obstruction removal project at Lebanon Municipal Airport.

The assessment says the alternative tree removal project would remove trees and add two new hazard beacons with less impact on the neighborhood than the original plan.

This plan puts the airport in closer compliance with FAA regulations regarding obstructions, but does not remove any hillside or extend any airport runways, said airport director Richard Dyment Tuesday.

This alternative project would remove 32 acres of tree obstruction south of Runway 25 to the airport property line.

We really need to clear the trees out to the property line to clear out the tree line, Dyment said. These trees that were working on are close to the runway and really need to be taken back.

The airport property abuts wooded land owned by the city, which would remain as a buffer between the airport and a nearby neighborhood.

The tree removal is expected to increase airport visibility for about six homes on Poverty Lane, the final assessment says.

The project also includes lighting changes, said Dyment.Were removing 38 obstruction lights and replacing them with two tall hazards beacons, Dyment said.The mitigation and permitting process for the project has begun, Dyment said.

The project is expected to go out to bid in the spring. The trees would be removed during the winter of 2015-16, Dyment said.

We need to do some other work before that, but the physical cutting of the tress wont happen until the winter of 2015-16, he said.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Cleanup is now in full swing in one Arlington neighborhood where the most powerful part of the storm roared through.

Now that temperatures are beginning to plunge, many are figuring out ways to stay warm.

Some homes still have holes in their roofs, like one on Weller Avenue. Thankfully, it fell over the garage without impacting the main part of the house.

Homeowners on Tuesday were working to get rid of debris, cutting down branches that were left dangling by the storm.

These two beautiful live hickories, there really was no reason for them to fall over because they weren't dead, said homeowner Rebecca Grenet.

But the storm was so intense, it snapped the trees like twigs.

Our prayers were in fact answered because they all fell forward, Grenet said.

Her next door neighbor, Patrick Golonka, wasnt so lucky.
