Southbury officials are now suing a local couple for up to $7.5 million, alleging they illegally cut down 134 trees on town-owned land to improve their lake view. The lawsuit claims Alan and Teresa Salzman hired contractors to clear the trees near their $1.1 million home, and restoring the land will now cost $1.5 million, with additional damages sought under a state law allowing quintuple penalties for illegal tree removal. The Salzmans deny wrongdoing. A judge has now visited the site, as the couple pushes for an additional inspection from their property.
