(A) License. It shall be unlawful for any person or firm to engage in the business or occupation of pruning, treating, or removing any parkway trees within the village without first applying for and procuring a license. The license fee shall be $75 annually in advance; provided, however, that no license shall be required of any public service company or village employee doing such work in the pursuit of their public service endeavors. Before any license shall be issued each applicant shall first file evidence of possession of liability insurance in the minimum amounts of $500,000 for bodily injury and $1,000,000 property damage indemnifying the village or any person injured or damaged resulting from the pursuit of such endeavors as herein described.
(B) Bond. The property owner/developer shall provide a non-revocable letter of credit payable to the village to ensure that the landscaping as approved will be installed. The letter of credit shall reflect 115% of the cost of required landscaping as approved to ensure that such landscaping will be installed. The owner must also grant the village the right to enter upon the land for the purposes of installing the required landscaping in the event that such landscaping is not installed. The letter of credit shall be released when landscape installation is approved by the village, with 15% retained by the village for a one-year guarantee period.
