The AJC reports that after Lake Claire residents made their appeal to the Atlanta Tree Commission on Wednesday they were given two options. Buy the land from owner and potential developer, Adam Gaslowitz, for $1 million or appeal the ruling in Superior Court.

Wow…not the greatest set of options. How long has it taken for historic Olmstead Linear Parks along Ponce to raise close to $1 million? Like 4 years? Yesh! (as Mooch would say)

Hopefully area residents will let us know what their next course of action will be.

Random Atlanta Tree Ordinance Fact: It’s illegal not to kill known poison ivy/sumac on your property.
