Has anyone else noticed the lot at 326 East Cottage that was recently clearcut by the developer? Every tree has been removed to make way for two 3-story homes...
The lot is being subdivided, and the builder removed the trees without first submitting a landscaping/removal plan. It's clearly in violation of the ordinance...
