Make Trammell Crow Co. follow the required rules in considering the cutting down of Heritage Trees.
Why is this important?
According to the Austin American Statesman, Trammell Crow Co. have been OKed by the city of Austin to start construction on a planned " two towers- each at least 30 stories tall- with 826 apartments, a 17-story hotel, a 28-story office tower and 82,000 square feet of retail space." The city of Austin is NOT holding the company responsible for going through the formal process or getting permits for the cutting down of 7 trees on site that are greater than 24 in. in diameter. Besides the construction itself creating an enormous amount of waste, the destruction of these trees is a waste of the uniqueness that Austin is. If Trammell Crow Co. is going to build in Austin they need to take responsibility in respecting the land they build on.
