Man oh man.... someone's in trouble... :meh:
My dad just called me and told me to drive out to the city(of Bulverde)
He told me to take my camera and take photos of the tree clearing that's happening on a hill where the city approved that the Home Depot be built there.
Well, they are NOT following the cities tree ordinance that they set and TOLD them specificly what NOT to do...
Well, check out a few of the pics of what's happening.
Panorama of the front of the property... they were supposed to leave a 35' barrier of trees between where I was standing and the parking lot that will be laid there... :meh: As you can see, they chopped everything down...
Here is directly to the right of the above photo, this was solid trees before today.
Here is where they were chopping up all the trees. Perhapse destroying evidence? It was a windy day and the cedar dust was blowing everywhere.
And lastly... This was the view from the highway driving into the city...
As you can see the top of the hill is completely shaved down to nothing.
Part of the reason we let them in was because they said that they wouldn't just clearcut the hill... in fact, our ordinance says that it's $300 per inch-per tree!!! (for oaks, and other good trees around here) So, if a tree is 5 inches in diameter they have to pay 5 x $300. now multiply that by how many trees were on that hill... :meh:
I hope y'all enjoyed this... because it may just be in the next council meeting. Someone is going to pay lots and lots of money... muahhahaha
Also, tell me what you think of the whole thing... it's really my first assignment type photography thing... lol
Thanks!
