To tree or not to tree
Fair or unfair. A willow oak on First Pres church property stands in the way of a new church parking lot. The church wants to take it down; some Fisher Park residents don't. The tree wins now. Is it right?

Yea! Finally a tree wins! To bad the beautiful ones that once graced the left side of the drive into the previous Benjamin Estate at Friendy didn't have a say so. I guess they really needed those extra 15 or 20 parking spaces.

I think it's important to read what David Wharton has to say about the tree issue. It's not about taking sides. David writes, "The job of the BOA is not to re-hear cases de novo, and the Board does not have to agree with the original ruling in order to uphold it. The Board's job is to determine whether the original ruling of the HPC was made fairly and reasonably."
