HANOVER TOWNSHIP SHADE TREE ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING

 

October 31, 2005

 

6:30 P.M.

 

The monthly meeting of the Shade Tree Advisory Commission was held at the Hanover Township Municipal Building, 3630 Jacksonville Rd., Bethlehem, PA 18017.

 

In attendance were Joan Witiak, Daniel Roman, Susan Scholl, and David Zakeski.

 

1.      Upon motion of David Zakeski, seconded by Susan Scholl, the minutes of the September 26, 2005, STAC meeting were approved.

 

2.      Review Permits:  Reminder calls or letters will be sent to property owners who have not replaced their trees.  

 

3.      Park Tree Planting:  The low bid from Root’s Nurseries was approved by the Supervisors.  Dan Roman will meet with Kevin Healy to confirm the location of the 20 new trees.

 

4.      Review LVCC Lot 12:  The engineer did not receive the Shade Tree comments from last month.  However, most of the former problems were resolved.  The plan still needs more large deciduous trees for the general landscape requirement.

 

Review Jaindl Land Co., Hanover Corp. Center 2:  We recommend some changes in the tree varieties.  Also will recommend moving some replacement trees to a better location.

 

5.      Old/New Business:  Patriot/Susquehanna Bank will replace the dead/leaning trees in our parks.  Must contact branch manager to discuss damage to large ash tree on bank property.

 

In the spring will look into tree replacements for property owners along Jacksonville Rd.

 

Next meeting is scheduled for November 30, 2005, at 6:30 P.M.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 8:10 P.M.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Joan Witiak for Linda Taylor
