I'm very frustrated, hearing the sad end to the Oak Tree controversy on Flintpoint, south of Wooster Pike. This healthy, safe tree was taken down to appease one family in dispute with a neighbor, against the will of literally hundreds of supporters. We've set ourselves up for everybody and their brother to ask to have a Tree taken down, a new driveway apron built, all at the taxpayers' expense. We've set the precedent that the car is more important than the 80 year-old award winning landscape plan. And, we've thumbed our nose at what makes Mariemont a Tree City: Trees!
If elected in November, I will work very quickly to try and manage/undo this disastrous precedent. Our Village is at risk now, and we must plug these holes opened up in our Laws, just like the hole opened up in the beautiful tree canopy on Flintpoint today.
