Description

I have reported to DOT, the Town of Stallings and Mayor Paxton that I believe this large oak tree at the corner of Potter and Plesant Plains Rd. is a deadly accident waiting to happen. The rotting tree hangs over the road at a stop light. I fear that one day it is going to fall and kill someone. No one will take responsibility. I live in a nearby neighborhood. Last week at the homeowners annual meeting I asked our guest speaker, Mayor Paxton, if she knew how this could be resolved. There were some head nods at the meeting. So others knew which tree I was speaking of. She didn't have a very positive answer other than she was aware of the problem and would look into it "again". She did mention that it could be the homeowner's responsibility. However, I wonder if this is accurate. The tree is located on the road side of the sidewalk and not on the homeowners side of the sidewalk. Please help. Thanks!
