(b) No person or property owner shall remove a tree from the right of way for any reason without approval from the Tree Commission. Should approval be given for the removal, the person will be required to replant or replace an equal number of trees. The replacement or replanting must be approved by the Tree Commission. Failure to plant replacements shall result in replacement by the Village and triple the actual cost to the Village shall be billed to the property owner. (Ord. 21-95. Passed 10-5-95.)
