MEMORANDUM:
TO: ALL CONDOMINIUM MANAGERS
FROM: MARY ANN MARIANO
TOWN MANAGER
DATE: APRIL 5 , 1994
SUBJECT: TREE TRIMMING
AT the March 31 , 1994 Meeting of the Town' s Greening Committee,
the topic of tree trimming was addressed.
It was noted that many of the trees in Town, on private property,
are severely overgrown. Not only does this cause property to
become unsightly, but as we approach hurricane season, this can
also be dangerous!
We are therefore asking that you please have your landscape person-
nel make an inspection of your trees to alleviate potential prob-
lems and to brighten your property.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated courtesy and cooperation.
