(a) Whenever it is necessary for the City to remove a tree from a City right-of-way, the City shall remove such trees and replace them or plant on another right-of-way area where applicable and to the satisfaction of the Street Tree Commission.
(b) No person or property owner shall remove a tree or trees from the right-of-way for any reason without approval from the Street Tree Commission. Should approval be given for the removal, the person shall be required to replant or replace an equal number of trees at the landowner’s cost. The Street Tree Commission must approve the replacement or replanting. Failure to plant replacements shall result in replacement by the City and the actual cost to the City shall be billed to the property owner.
