§ 97.24  REFORESTATION.
   (A)   The planting, maintenance, or removal of trees on public property and/or within the city right-of-way will be done by the Department of Municipal Services and Engineering or its duly assigned agents in accordance with policies and standards adopted by the Tree Board, City Departments, and this chapter.
   (B)   The city shall notify the property owner 14 calendar days prior to planting a tree in the right-of-way.  A property owner may submit an application to the Tree Board requesting that a tree not be planted in the city right-of-way and stating the reasons why within 14 calendar days from the date of the notice.  Failure to file an application for relief will constitute approval to plant the tree.  The Tree Board shall act upon the request prior to the replanting of the tree.  Should the Tree Board deny the request, the property owner may appeal to the City Council as allowed under § 97.15.
