Trees wanted

A PUBLIC hearing into
proposed changes at — the
Lions Gate Racquet Club
turned into a dispute over
whether some trees surroun-
ding the site should have
deen cut down.

The hearing, held Mon-
day, was into plans to add a

swimming pool and more.

tennis courts to the site. Res-
idents instead blasted club
owners for having removed
trees from the site.

Owner Terry. Grimwood
said the majority of the trees
were in the 70 to 80 feet
range and: that the long
range plans ef the club were
better served by their
removal.

According to Grimwood,
one of the club’s trees was
responsible for.a local power
outage during recent, high
winds.
