Title
Appeal of Elizabeth G. Burr to a Summary Abatement Order at 2025 FAIRMOUNT AVENUE.
Date/Time of 1st LH: July 17, 2018, 11:00 a.m.
Purpose of Appeal: My appeal is for permission to keep my two rose bushes in the boulevard in front of my house. Previous inspectors have allowed them to remain without an appeal. I hope to make this permission permanent as long as I prune the rose bushes both vertically and horizontally, i.e. keep them within reasonable limits. My husband was the gardener. He died last year, and I am trying to catch up.
I seek permission to keep everything, with special emphasis on the rosebushes in the boulevard, the cup plants, the Joe-pye weed, and all other native plants.
Date of Order(s) Under Appeal: June 28, 2018
Inspector/Key Staff: Lisa Martin
