EAST BRUNSWICK Several residents of the Laurence Brook Manor neighborhood voiced their concerns about what they claim is the townships aggressive removal and replacement of trees in the area.

At the March 9 Township Council meeting, resident Kris Jhamb of Banner Court said he and his neighbors have noticed what they feel is a pattern of overzealous tree removal by the Division of Parks.

In just the past few months, Ive personally observed several dubious tree removals and horrific pruning acts on my own and neighboring streets, Jhamb said. There are certainly justified situations that can pop up from time to time, but in these cases, Im seeing the systematic removal of branches basically anything below 15 feet.

Jhamb also criticized the township for a real failure over the longer term to replant trees that were removed.

Where replanting does occur, replenishment of the trees are, without exception, much smaller, cheaper varieties that really barely pass as shade trees, Jhamb said.

These actions are creating eyesores. Theres unsightly planting gaps and also very aesthetically unbalanced streets. We will be left with a neighborhood thats been systematically denuded with much less attractive space to live and walk around.

Faith Martenz of North Drive agreed with Jhambs comments.

I have had three trees removed on the property along the curb line since Ive lived in my house over the past nine years, Martenz said. Not one has been replaced no seedlings, no nothing.

The St. Helena Tree Committee will discuss the possible removal of two trees from the Highway 29 elm tunnel at 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, at City Hall.

In January Beringer Vineyards announced they were seeking public feedback on tentative plans to remove the two trees north of the Beringer entrance, which pose a hazard to drivers turning onto Highway 29.

Committee members agreed the idea was worth exploring, but wanted to give the public a few months to provide input. Tuesdays meeting will include a follow-up discussion of the plan, but Beringer has not yet applied for permits to remove the trees.

For information, contact Debra Dommen, Beringer vice president, at 259-4673 or debra.dommen@treasurywineestates.com.

Also during Tuesdays meeting, City Arborist Jim Haller will give an update on elm tunnel maintenance.

Tree Committee to discuss possible elm removals

MORROW Council voted unanimously Monday to implement a less-strict sprinkler system.

Officials previously said the intent of the policy was to encourage economic development in the area.

Our imperative directive is to try to take off some of the chains in terms of economic development if theyre not necessary, said Interim City Manager Sylvia Redic at the Jan. 27 council meeting where the issue was first discussed.

The amendment to the fire codes repeals extra code restrictions the city ordinances place on businesses. Instead, the city will follow the less-strict state fire safety codes.

Right now, Morrows codes require that buildings of any type construction or occupancy shall be protected throughout by an approved supervised sprinkler system. But fire Chief Mark Herendeen and fire Marshal Herb Jones said in at least two council meetings they felt the ordinance was overly cautious.

When you get into commercial buildings, a lot of them are Type I, Type II concrete block and steel and theres not that need for that level of fire protection, Herendeen said at the Jan. 27 meeting.

Herendeen and Mayor J.B. Burke implied at that meeting the change in codes could encourage smaller businesses to set up shop in Morrow since they wouldnt necessarily need to pay for the full cast-iron-pipe sprinkler system the city codes require for commercial buildings.

If the council members vote to change the ordinances, the fire department would need to examine each building and how it would be used and determine by state codes whether it would need a sprinkler system.

What we need to remember about the state fire code is its not a book its volumes of books, Redic said.

Sprinkler systems have been a haunting theme of the city since controversy surrounding Olde Towne Morrow, a botched development project the city closed in February 2011.

SAN ANTONIO - A bill that would require local governments and fire departments to report information on high-rise buildings in their jurisdictions not equipped with fire protection sprinkler systems to the state fire marshal has been introduced in the Texas House by San Antonio Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer (D-District 116).

HB 4011 would also require the state fire marshal to report that information to the Legislature.

I filed this legislation to bring the state fire marshal further into the conversation, and to make sure that we have a statewide assessment of all residential high-rise buildings posing this extreme risk to our citizens, Martinez Fischer said in a statement. The goal of this bill is to ensure that local governments report detailed information on the state of such buildings, and encourage them to develop and maintain emergency plans of action and seek retrofit ordinances to retrofit these buildings with the appropriate safety systems.

In December, a fire at the Wedgwood Senior Apartments in San Antonio claimed the lives of six residents, injured a dozen more and displaced hundreds.

Though the cause of the fire has been ruled undetermined, the facility was not equipped with a sprinkler system. The Wedgwood did not have a sprinkler system because it was grandfathered in after the City of Castle Hills began requiring sprinklers in 2012.

According to Martinez Fischer, his bill "respects local control and affords local governments the flexibility they need to address these deficiencies, while enabling the fire marshal to monitor and make additional recommendations to advance this progress."

Meanwhile, State Rep. Rick Galindo, R-District 117, recently filed House Bill 3089 that require sprinklers in all high-rise residential buildings.

The bill defines a high-rise as a building reaching 75 feet above the ground or higher.
