Selective or sanitary cutting of timber shall be permitted under the following conditions, upon application to the Zoning Administrator:
(a) The Zoning Administrator, an arborist selected by the Village and the owner or his or her representative, shall, together, inspect the wooded area to be selectively cut, to butt brand and paint stripe the specific trees to be cut.
(b) Only trees so branded and marked shall be cut. Each unauthorized cutting of an unmarked tree shall constitute a separate violation of this chapter and shall constitute grounds for the immediate revocation of the permit.
(c) Meadow maintenance under a long-term permit already issued may be done without a new permit.
(d) Dead and diseased trees, and damaged trees which threaten life or property or which cannot be revived (e.g. blown off vertical), may be removed without a permit. However, a tree-cutting contractor for such work shall be licensed by the Village.
