The commission is requiring more accurate information before advancing several tree-removal plans. The Jewish Home Addition proposal lists 87 trees for removal but needs corrected species, sizes, conditions, and locations. The Willows project could clear about 7 of 13 acres, while its applicant may pay a $30,500 removal fee under different rules for low- and moderate-income housing. The commission also agreed to update its tree-removal form and continued planning for a public-property tree inventory and Arbor Day planting.
