Tree removal
|
Removal of any protected tree requires ARB approval prior to removal and may require mitigation by the property owner. Homeowners wishing to remove a Protected Tree or applying to remove a Protected Tree due to a notice from the POA, must submit the ARB application.
The ARB will…
- review applications to remove a Protected Tree and will also be reviewed by a QH designated Licensed Arborist (QH Arborist) and may include a site visit. The QH Arborist will recommend to the ARB approval or denial of removal of Protected Tree(s), and recommend mitigation, if any.
- either approve the application without mitigation or approve it with mitigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, The ARB may disapprove the removal of any tree, or trees, included in the application. If it approves removal(s) with mitigation, the homeowner must replace the Protected Tree(s) as directed by the ARB within the time frame designated by the ARB.
Note: Homeowner appeals of their application must be presented to the ARB and maybe accompanied by a report from the homeowner’s licensed arborist. The homeowner and their arborist (if applicable) are urged to attend the ARB appeal meeting. If the homeowner does not agree with the ARB’s decision on its appeal, the homeowner may make a further appeal to the Board of Directors as set in QHRRP 3000-210 (Rules Enforcement Process). |
