He indicated the County staked out his property for <br />clearing. It is his opinion that more area has been staked than what was planned. He is <br />very concerned with the clearing of 12 mature trees, many of which are 75+ years old. <br />Serena said he tried to obtain information on the clearing from both the State and County <br />and was informed that the City had approved the layout. The road improvements are <br />being made with State aid money by the County. <br />Goetten informed Serena that the concern for trees had been voiced at the public hearings <br />by other neighbors. She informed Serena that Staff would follow up on these concerns <br />and report back to Serena. <br />It was noted that staking of other areas began last week. <br />0 <br />2 <br />
