Hi all - Can anyone share photos of their scenic road sign toppers?<br>
It's on my to-do list and I'd like to see some samples.<br>
Also appreciated would be vendor recs and prices but not necessary.<br>
Many thanks,<br>
Sarah<br>

Hello Planners,<br>
<br>
The City of Beverly is looking for sample Economic Development Action<br>
Plans/Strategies to help us build our scope of work for a new project. I<br>
have gleaned MAPC examples. Are there other Massachusetts examples<br>
completed by private or other quasi -governmental agencies recently?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Does anyone have a Tree/Clearing Bylaw that touches on restrictions on<br>
clearing for residential property?<br>
<br>
Also, is anyone aware of a consultant with experience writing Tree/Clearing<br>
Bylaws specifically?<br>

The Town of Boxborough recently passed a ?Tree Protection & Preservation Bylaw? which has not yet had an application submitted. <br>
<br>
The jury is still out as to whether it will actually preserve any trees or simply act as a Tree Tax. <br>
<br>
No consultant was used, so no recommendation on that front.<br>

Copy is attached.<br>

All-<br>
<br>
Lenox does not have a tree removal or clearing bylaw. There are some<br>
provisions in our Site Plan Review sections, but they are very broad.<br>
<br>
Tree removal and clearing can, however, come under the jurisdiction of the<br>
Conservation Commission if the 'subject' is in or in proximity to a<br>
resource area as defined by CMR 310, the Wetlands Protection Act. This is a<br>
very common issue here; there are many reasons for clearing trees besides<br>
obtaining a great view at all costs, some of which are preservation-minded.<br>

The Town of Lynnfield adopted a Tree Preservation Bylaw in 2021. For new<br>
home construction, all trees located in the zoning setbacks are considered<br>
protected, and mitigation is required if they are removed. We worked with<br>
MAPC on the drafting and adoption of the bylaw. We found Concord and Weston<br>
had strong bylaws that we used to jumpstart our efforts<br>
