No person shall plant, spray, fertilize, <br />preserve, prune, remove, cut above ground, or otherwise <br />disturb any tree on any street or municipal -owned property <br />without first filling an application and procuring a permit <br />from the Municipal Forester or otherwise specified municipal <br />authority. The person receiving the permit shall abide by <br />the Aboricultural Specifications and Standards of Practice <br />adopted by the Municipal Forester. <br />II. PLANTING <br />A. Application Data. The application required herein <br />shall state the number of trees to be set out; the location, <br />grade, species, cultivar or variety of each tree; the method <br />of planting; and such other information as the Municipal <br />Forester shall find reasonable necessary to a fair <br />determination of whether a permit should be issued. <br />B. Improper Planting. Whenever any tree shall be <br />planted or set out in conflict with the provisions of this <br />section, it shall be lawful for the Municipal Forester to <br />remove or cause removal of the same, and the exact cost <br />thereof shall be assessed to the owner as provided by law in <br />the case of assessments. <br />III. MAINTENANCE <br />A. Application Data. The application required herein <br />shall state the number and kinds of trees to be sprayed, <br />fertilized, pruned, protected, or otherwise preserved; the <br />kind of treatment to be administered; the composition of the <br />material to be applied; and such other information as the <br />Municipal Forester shall find reasonable necessary to a fair <br />determination of whether a permit should be issued. <br />IV. REMOVAL REPLANTING AND REPLACEMENT <br />A. Wherever it is necessary to remove a tree or trees <br />from a treelawn in connection with the paving of a sidewalk, <br />or the paving or widening of the portion of a street or <br />highway used for vehicular traffic, the municipality shall <br />replant such trees or replace them. Provided that conditions <br />prevent planting on treelawns, this requirement will be <br />satisfied if any equivalent number of trees of the same size <br />and species as provided for in the Arboricultural <br />Specifications are planted in an attractive manner on the <br />adjoining property. <br />B. No person or property owner shall remove a tree <br />from the treelawn for the purpose of construction, or for any <br />other reason, without first filing an application and <br />procuring a permit from the Municipal Forester, and without <br />replacing the removed tree or trees in accordance with the <br />adopted Arboricultural Specifications. Such replacement <br />shall meet the standards of size, species, and placement as <br />provided for in a permit issued by the Municipal Forester. <br />Page 5 <br />
