<p class="MsoNormal">Douglas is looking to overhaul its Earth Removal bylaws, due to issues with subdivisions creating lots requiring massive cuts in excess of 300 cu yards in excess of what’s incidental to foundations. Do any cities and towns have earth removal
bylaws that they’re happy with and if so, could you please share? Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
