§ 2.80.160. Permit application procedure

A. Property owners who desire to perform maintenance or removal of borough trees shall file an application with the shade tree commission via the borough administrator's office and make arrangements to have a representative of the shade tree commission inspect the proposed work site. The application form may be acquired from the borough administrator's office.

B. Property owners who desire to plant new trees in the area between the curb and the sidewalk shall select the proper tree from the approved list and shall file an application with the shade tree commission via the borough administrator's office and make arrangements to have a representative of the shade tree commission inspect the planting to verify that the proper tree selection has been made and proper planting procedures have been followed.

C. There shall be no fee for the application.

D. Upon approval of the proposed work project by the shade tree commission, the commission shall notify the borough administrator and a permit will be issued to the applicant detailing the approved work. The permit shall be effective for ninety (90) calendar days from the date of issue.

E. In the event the borough or shade tree commission determines that the permit has been violated, and/or the borough or commission deems that the safety of persons and/or property warrants an immediate work stoppage, the permit may be terminated.
