Neck Plaza hereby finds that Village-owned trees are unnecessarily
damaged due to construction activities undertaken in areas adjacent
to said trees. The Board further finds that Village-owned trees are
damaged as a result of unauthorized cutting of such trees. The Board
of Trustees, therefore, finds that it is necessary to adopt this article
in order to establish standards which will control activities which
otherwise might damage Village-owned trees.
