Who Favors the Tree Ordinance?

Posted in: Bellemeade - Bellemeade

The Arborist was assessing our trees on Chadwick Rd. on Monday Aug. 25.  When will homeowners be informed of their findings?  Will this be done annually?

We will find out after the survey is complete. The plan is to notify each property owner concerning their address. What you do with it is your choice.

I don't know if it will be an annual event.

I question the legality of spending public money on private property whether it is to do a tree health survey or to remove and replace s0-called canopy trees especially when the "till" can run dry and some citizen/taxpayers get left out.  Is that not expropriation of monies  from one group of people for the benefit other other groups which has been held t be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court on more than one occasion

 

Don't come back to me and say the trees are in the easement along the streets because Metro has that easement on North Chadwick.  Does that mean the residents of North Chadwick are not covered by the ordinance?  Also my trees are within the Metro easement, not on my property.  What a mess!

 

When is the next Bellemeade Council meeting?  I want to speak to this issue.  If necessry, I will go door-to-door to get signatures calling for recall of this unfair legislation, or if you wish, just come by my house and sign.  Thanks.

You mean  we have an ordinace that is that nebulous? 

Come on, somebody needs to know what is going on and when, where, and how our tax money is being spent?  This is very disappointing and disconcerting!
