The Cummings filed an appeal of the Zoning Administrator's approval on March 24, 2015, stating objections to the subject proposal. Specifically, their concerns encompassed issues of privacy; skepticism that the trees would create an effective screen; maintenance concerns; and allergies created by the installation of new trees. Accordingly, the appeal is now before the Planning Commission for review and action. Please refer to Exhibit F for a copy of the appeal.
