Ms. McMackin, Thank you for your previous assistance regarding the tree on Rio Vista Drive. After conducting some research on the Norwood Borough ordinances, we discovered a few ordinances that might be applicable to this situation. Our primary concern is that the tree prohibits the visibility of oncoming traffic when a person is driving up the hill. Cars usually park on the right side of the road directly past the bend. The tree blocks all visibility of these cars making it a hazard for drivers. Since the turn is practically a 45% angle it is essential that all drivers be able to see what is located around the bend. Ordinance 202-7 states that “No person shall erect or maintain on property owned or controlled by him and where buildings …show more content…
Space medium trees 40 feet from the adjacent trees. Space large trees 50 feet from the adjacent trees. Exceptions for special plantings must be approved by the Superintendent of Public Works. When practicable, the planting distance from the curbs or curb lines and sidewalks shall be in accordance with the three tree size classes as follows: for a small tree, two feet; medium tree, three feet; and large tree, four feet. No street trees other than those species classified as small trees may be planted closer than 15 feet to the vertical plane of an existing power line, excluding service wires, or within 7 1/2 lateral feet of any underground waterline, sewer line or other utility.” Due to the location and apparent size of the tree, it appears that this ordinance is being violated. It hangings over the curb, which clearly indicates that it was planted to close to the edge of the street. Additionally, Ordinances 94-1and 94-2 state that “It shall be the duty of any owner or tenant or other person in possession of any land in the borough to keep his land free of brush, weeds, dead and dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash and other debris which may constitute a fire hazard or which is otherwise detrimental to the public health or safety. It shall be the duty of any owner, tenant or other person in possession of any land in the borough bordering upon any public street to remove
This is to invite your urgent attention to the constant garage and debris that has been accumulating on this site space 222 of Knolls Lodge Mobile Park in Torrance, California 90501 since 2014. For 2 ½ years this home has been an eye sore and a violation of the rental agreement at Knolls Lodge Mobile Park. As a result, heaps of garage, broken parts of metal, broken toys, washer and dryer, extension cords running all over the place, dry plants, car that is leaking oil on jacks, dog feces that is considered unhealthy, provides unsafe conditions and serious health hazards for the community, surrounding neighbors. I am the neighbor next door space 221 that has complaint that this resident has blocked my back door with these same obstructions

This letter is in response to your request that was sent on August 31st to schedule a public hearing before the Saratoga Springs Planning Commission regarding the proposed Papa’s Express Car Wash located at approximately 1347 N Exchange Drive in Saratoga Springs. Staff has reviewed the materials submitted and the Planning Director has determined that the proposed development is not in compliance with the Land Development Code. The sections of the Code that Staff has determined the development to not be in compliance with are as follows:
The city of Nacogdoches is currently covered with _% (planning to meet with Dr. Unger) paving and parking. Large amounts of dark pavement and asphalt cover increases the urban heat island effect, physical stress of residents, and storm water runoff into roads. Currently, there are no requirements for the commercial districts to uphold the Nacogdoches garden capital of Texas name, or provide shaded parking. Businesses are required only to install and maintain street trees, as described in, Article VI, Section 118-430 of the Nacogdoches Code of Ordinances.

The Hardy Township location will be a priority for such enforcement because “it's so in the boonies people think they can get away with it. But, the bottom line is, people need to clean up.”
Obstructions, including bicycle racks, shrubbery, parked vehicles, merchandise displays and trash cans, must not be present in the accessible space, access aisles or along the access route. Make sure that everything is out of the way and that the entire route is clear of accumulated leaves, trash or other debris.
This is an example of social stratification. The depth in which there are or a lack there of landscaping codes depends on social stratification of a city or town. There are areas which have more curb appeal to attract new residents to live there or places that are made to look children friendly. The appearance of the landscaping is showing the increasing bifurcation of Indianapolis. Bifurcation means that two groups of people are moving in complete opposite directions.
Yes. I spoke with Mark at 11:20 am (EST) to find out what transpired prior to our involvement. Based on what Mark explained is they were following directions given by the Utilities Director, Mitt Tidwell. After getting no where, they got our firm involved when originally the request was to vacate the alleyway. However, Mark stated that you were told the City will not allow such action, so Major Encroachment Permit was the only option.
I will start by looking at the poem called Tree in the City by Thomas Shapcott and what is revealed about suburban life by it. Initially, the poem appears to be depicting a positive outlook on suburban life, and its integration with nature, and having not lost the connection to it that children have had for years. While remaining ambiguous in its ideas, upon closer inspection, there are numerous occasions where the poet is insinuating how nature is fading out as the buildings of urban life take over. As can be seen here (the screen) by the highlighted words, the poem focuses on the restrictions and changes that urban life has made to nature, as well as how important this fading element is. For example, “small span” refers to how the city branches of

They sought a world better than the one that they were born or immigrated into under British rule.
The article that I read was written by Sarah-Joyce Battersby and was called One man’s $30k treehouse is a neighbours ‘Berlin Wall’. This was published on Thursday April 21, 2016. A man named John Alpeza spent $30,000 on a treehouse for his kids. John built this enormous treehouse that looks like a ship 6 years ago and got permission from the city. Now a 90 year old woman who lives next door says that the huge ship is not allowing her laundry to dry, there's no sunlight, and her flowers are ruined. The woman told the city last week and the city says that if he doesn’t tear it down they will go through court. People are protesting that they should keep it up.
Gum trees aren’t usually found in city streets. Personification: ‘Hard bitumen around your feet’-personifies the trees roots as being feet ‘O fellow citizen’- the tree is no longer seen to be a tree. It now blends in with the humans- unnoticed, just a figment of the background of the world. The people of now don’t take notice of a tree in the city streets. The tree can identify with a statue- set in stone, unmovable, not free.
The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the “largest public housing authority in the nation” (Developments, 2015). In existence since 1934 (About NYCHA: NYCHA at 70, 2015), NYCHA is a low to moderate income public housing initiative consisting of 328 developments throughout all five boroughs of New York City. More than 400,000 residents benefit from these developments through the receipt of not only apartments but additional services provided by each development and New York City overall. Over recent years the NYCHA developments have been experiencing a reduction in government funding, forcing the organization to re-evaluate strategies addressing maintenance of old buildings (About NYCHA, 2015).
