Do not allow changes to this regulation
 

Cutting of large limbs to "daylight" businesses will damage large trees and not help businesses. Large trees are an amenity and are attractive around buildings and attract people's attention to a building. Damaging a large tree with aggressive cutting of large limbs will not only hurt the tree, it will also make the area around the damaged tree ugly. VDOT is not know for it's ability to manage trees well. Do not let this agency do this.
