Irondequoit, N.Y.-- Chopping down trees and clearing the debris is not new for Al Gilbert.
"We always just cut them down," said the 88-year-old businessman.
In early December he began having roughly 200 trees, mostly Cottonwood, cleared from a one acre piece of land that rests yards from Voyager Marina and underneath the O'Rourke Bridge in Irondequoit.
"Mr. Gilbert has said he did not know that it was an E.P.O.D.," said Ray McDonald, a member of the Planning Board. "An environmentally protected overlay district--which is on his taxes."
Gilbert contends he did not know prior to being told by town leaders.
"I thought it was an i-pod first, I said, no that has something to do with telephone's first, not trees," said Gilbert.
Town Development Director Nicholas Weatherbee said another mistake Gilbert made was not getting town approval before cutting down the trees. With a simple permit, Weatherbee said, the trees could have been cut without violating town code.
Gilbert said had he known, he would not have cut trees from his own property.
The reason for doing so, however, is twofold.

Clearing the decks for the expansion of Jamia Millia Islamia, the Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Delhi government to acquire about 107 bighas (approximately 26 hectares) of prime land in Okhla village in south Delhi.
The case pertains to 214 bighas of land in Okhla village that Delhi government wanted to acquire for the expansion of the 92-year-old university, one of India's oldest.
The city government had initiated the process a few months ago, but the Uttar Pradesh government objected to this, contending the land belonged to the state.
The court had in January stopped the acquisition process and ordered the maintenance of status quo.
"We contended before the court that the land belonged to the union government and that Jamia, being a central university, needs the land for its expansion," said Atyab Siddiqui, the varsity's standing counsel.
"The court modified its earlier order and allowed the acquisition of about 107 bighas of land. The rest of the 107 bighas would remain under judicial restrainment," Siddiqui added.
The Uttar Pradesh government had contended that it owned the entire area of a little over 214 bighas.
"The order has given a boost to Jamia's expansion plans. Currently, we are hard pressed for the space and there is hardly any space left for expansion," Jamia Millia Islamia media coordinator Mukesh Ranjan told IANS.

Anger at increase in flytipping in Little Horton, Bradford
6:00am Wednesday 16th April 2014 in News By Rob Lowson, T&A Reporter
The owner of private land blighted by flytippers has been served notice to clear it by Bradford Council.
Residents have been left angered at mounting levels of rubbish being dumped by their homes behind Chislehurst Place and Pennington Terrace, Little Horton, Bradford.
And they fear no-one is taking responsibilty to deal with it.
Ian Thompson, of Chislehurst Place, said: Its absolutely disgusting out there.
I open my curtains and thats the first and only thing I see. At the moment, it is the worst its ever been.
The Council used to clear up the area every few months, but I spoke to them recently and they said they dont know who owns the land and theyve no intention of clearing it.
Mr Thompson said an increasing amount of old furniture and white goods had been dumped at the site in recent months, which he feels now poses a health and safety hazard.
Someone obviously had new windows fitted a few weeks ago and theyve just dumped all the old stuff here, he said. Since then everyone else has been dumping their rubbish too. It gets worse every day.

EL PASO, Texas -- About 400 acres of land where Asarco used to stand are up for grabs a year after demolition. The Texas Custodial Trust owns the land and is looking for a buyer.
As KFOX14 previously reported, crews are clearing out any contamination from the land that could have traces of arsenic and lead. There are also plans to collect the waste in a giant waste cell and close it off from the public.
"[The University of Texas at El Paso] does have an environmental engineering department and they could use those components as kind of a living laboratory for the students," site trustee Roberto Puga said.
Puga said UTEP could be an ideal buyer for the land, and the university confirmed it is interested in buying the land closest to campus.
Students told KFOX14 studying the former Asarco site could help UTEP become one of the best research universities in the country.
"They would gain more accessibility to maybe research or grants," UTEP senior Taylor Harmon said.
Harmon studies biochemistry and said new labs could motivate more students to study science.
"The more recruitment of students to these labs is going to guarantee more innovation in the future as far as research science and innovation along the border," Harmon said.

FORT MEADE | About 35 Fort Meade residents and business owners spent Saturday morning hammering out a plan to ignite the community's economic redevelopment.
In the end, the greatest challenge that emerged from the exercise had nothing to do with land clearing or bricks and mortar it was communication.
The group agreed there's a perception among some residents that Fort Meade shouldn't grow, and even more don't appear to be interested in pushing the community forward.
"We need to inspire people to get involved," said Clayton Frazier, who owns the Badcock & More home furnishings store in Fort Meade. "We need to improve communication throughout our community."
That challenge will be among the first orders of business for the community's fledgling economic development council that is expected to emerge from Saturday's meeting, which was organized by the city and sponsored by Florida Public Utilities.
The group recognized the proposed park along the Peace River as an opportunity that could fuel growth in the city of about 5,800 residents. Members also identified access to natural gas and rail lines, coupled with the availability of large tracts of land, as a potential magnet to attract new industry.
Among the threats facing the city are apathy within the community, competition from neighboring communities and the city's tight budget, which limits its ability to maintain facilities and infrastructure.
Many of those attending the economic summit said these issues aren't particularly new to Fort Meade, but Saturday's exercise at Streamsong resort near Fort Meade helped to identify ways to address them.
"We were able to narrow down the problems," said Fort Meade resident Cliff Maker. "The next step is to get the community to buy into a program to move ahead. It's going to be difficult to do, but I think it can be done."

KUCHING: Native Customary Rights (NCR) landowners in Saratok are encouraged to participate in the Malaysian Palm Oil Boards (MPOB) oil palm mini-estate planting scheme.
Social Development Minister Tan Sri William Mawan said the scheme is the best opportunity for smallholders to develop their NCR land.
He called oil palm the best cash crop, saying its development is very reliable.
Although its capital outlay is quite substantial, the government, through the MPOB is doing its level best to help the people who want to develop their own land. The initiatives by the government I believe will enable the landowners to benefit from their customary asset, he said yesterday during a courtesy call by applicants from Saratok for the scheme.
The Saratok member of parliament, who endorsed his visitors application forms, said there is no acquisition of land under this scheme so the land and mini-estates would belong fully to the landowners.
He stressed that landowners need not worry about their land as there would be no land grab by the government as often alleged by some quarters.
MPOB, he explained, would only assist the landowners with aid in terms of land clearing, seedlings, fertilisers and pesticides.
The scheme is financed by MPOB, while the mini-estates belong to the landowners, said Mawan.
Saratok parliamentary constituency special affairs assistant officer Wilfred Empati said MPOB would assist each landowner with RM9,000 in kind per hectare, while each applicant must have at least 5ha to be eligible and the applications must be made in groups.
