C. COMMISSIONER WESLEY S. DAVIS <br />14. C.1. RESIDENTS' CONCERNS RE: RECENT CUTTING OF OAK TREES IN <br />ROSELAND <br />Commissioner Davis informed the Board that there has been concern over the recent <br />cutting of mature oak trees in the parking lot of the Roseland Plaza, and he asked staff to provide <br />the details of the situation. <br />Director Keating, using a PowerPoint Presentation (on file), reported that the owner of <br />the Roseland Plaza had requested County authorization to remove the landscape oak trees that <br />were in the islands of the parking lot because they were disrupting the view of the facade signs of <br />the businesses in the plaza, despite having been cut back to the maximum. He said that staff had <br />reviewed and authorized the removal of the nine oak trees, and was assured that they would be <br />replaced with Sylvester palms, a larger palm tree that is considered comparable to a canopy tree. <br />He defined the criteria of the County's tree protection ordinance and the landscaping ordinance, <br />June 5, 2012 <br />18 BK 142 PG 535 <br />
