Allowing developers to rape the land and plant tiny saplings is not acceptable. Also, plant new trees along streets BEFORE mature ones die. The younger trees need decades to mature.

Clearly, since the exemption they got was based on replacing the trees, that this development should not be allowed since the whole essence of the exemption was the understanding that the trees would be allowed to grow back.

Developers whine that that their projects are not "financially feasible" without packing in the structures and streets, and the Town acquiesces.

But then I still remember when not too long ago Chapel Hillians informally boycotted a chain restaurant based out of town that used an early Sunday morning to cut trees that violated the town ordinances. The restaurant eventually closed.

]]> Mon, 22 Oct 2018 04:08:01 UTC 22572354 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/22572321?utm_medium=rss An ordinance (with teeth in it) to prevent clear-cutting of canopy trees, specimen trees, and a % of all existing trees is critical to maintain the character of Chapel Hill. Further, concept and development plans should indicate the areas where clearing trees is necessary to site buildings and indicate what design alternatives were explored to minimize the removal of canopy trees. This would include clearing areas to provide access for heavy equipment needed to prepare the land and build upon i.
