This tree was cut down approximately 3 weeks ago. My wife, Ruby, called the P,B & Z Department and talked to Angie Poston and was told there was not a permit issued. I don't know how changing the Tree Ordinance will help at all if the current ordinances are not being followed. I believe the property owner of PIN 45914030037 - James Paradeses, be charged with the unlawful removal of a tree. If he didn't authorize the removal he should find the people responsible for trespassing on his land and cutting the tree down.

Thank you,
