According to Ms.Ryan's quote, WHEN developers come before the planning board, the city has some leverage to save the trees. The fact that this developer (and that is what he is) took down these valuable trees BEFORE going to the planning board or zoning to have the lot subdivided, demonstrates how easily savy developers can take advantage of what is a huge gap in the process. I would like to see some legislation put into place in our city like they have in Providence & Newport to protect our valuable natural resources before more are destroyed. I'd like to think this wasn't necessary to do but it's obvious that not all developers have the common sense to preseve the beauty & nature of an established neighborhood.
