Layman <br /> James G. Martin, Governor Director <br /> William W. Cobey,Jr., Secretary <br /> Mr. John Link, County Manager <br /> Court Street <br /> Hillsborough, N.C. 27278 <br /> Dear Mr. Link: <br /> For the past year and a half I have been working very <br /> closely with the Hillsborough Tree Board. During this time <br /> I have looked closely at many of the trees along the <br /> street rights-of-way in Hillsborough and made <br /> recommendations relative to the maintenance and care needed <br /> to sustain their livelihood. <br /> There are several large trees on Churton Street, near the <br /> old Court , are in a seri state decline. <br /> Specifically, I recall an elmand wateroak thathave a <br /> considerable amount of die-back in the tops . Because of the <br /> restricted growing space between the sidewalk and street <br /> curb, these trees continue to wild <br /> present a hazard to pedestrians l <br /> be very expensive to keep these trees pruned properly. <br /> I realize the heritage and sentiment involved with these old <br /> trees , but I recommend that consideration be given to their <br /> removal and the replanting of trees of a species more <br /> suitable to is what I have <br /> recomm ended to <br /> Sincerely, <br /> M.
