§ 8178-7.7.1. Exemptions.

No permit application is required if the proposed tree alteration or removal is exempt from the requirements for a tree permit pursuant to Section 8178-7.5.3.c., Dead or Fallen Tree or Limb. However, to verify that tree alteration or removal was authorized by Section 8178-7.5.3.c., prior to alteration or removal of the protected tree or immediately following a natural disaster or catastrophic failure that caused the protected tree or limb to fall down, the property owner should submit the following:

a.

Two (2) to four (4) colored photographs of the affected tree. The photos should be taken from different vantage points, clearly illustrate the reason for the request to remove the fallen protected tree or limbs, and should identify the tree's location relative to nearby vegetation or landmarks; and

b.

Site Sketch or Plan, drawn to scale with north arrow that shows the location and species name of the affected tree(s). The Site Sketch or Plan shall illustrate existing development, access, or any other identifying benchmarks to identify where the natural disaster occurred, if applicable.

c.

No application fee is required.
