§ 1002-8.036. Tree—Trimming or removal.

Trimming of trees will be permitted only when and in the manner authorized by a permit issued under this title so that the shapeliness of the tree may be preserved.

An application for removal of a tree will be approved and permit issued only when a necessity for removal exists. When a tree is removed under authority of a permit, the entire stump shall be taken out for a distance of at least two feet below the ground surface unless otherwise specified in the permit, and the hole shall be backfilled and tamped. All debris from trimming or removal shall be removed from the site and the right-of-way restored to its former condition.

(Prior code § 7577: Ord. 1000).
