PRESENTATION <br />None. <br />3. CITIZEN INPUT <br />John Hesselgrave, 7601 166th Avenue, stated that he was surprised one week ago when he <br />returned home to find two thirds of the mature Pine trees that adjoin his property were cut down. <br />He stated that his wife telephoned members of the Council in attempt to stop the cutting. He <br />noted that he went outside to speak with the workman and asked him to stop cutting trees while <br />they were on the phone with the City. He stated that none of the residents along Variolite were <br />alerted to the tree removal. He believed that the residents in that area should have been <br />consulted and provided an opportunity to voice their opinions. He stated that he is very upset <br />with the tree removal that occurred and the way the project was completed. He stated that the <br />cutting was stopped after two days, but over 30 mature Pine trees were removed during that time. <br />City Council / January 14, 2020 <br />Page 2 of 16 <br />
