FAIR HAVEN TREE LAW PUT IN THE SHADE
By DUSTIN RACIOPPI
In Fair Haven’s great tree debate, the borough council has gone back and forth for months, trying to find middle ground on revisions that would satisfy advocates of both property rights and environmental concerns.
Now, the shade tree commission has weighed with a set of proposed revisions to the ordinance. The planning board has chimed in, too, recommending the law be uprooted altogether and re-seeded with a fresh perspective.
Where does a governing body go from here? Back to the negotiating table, apparently.
