Tree Replacement Exemption
Removal or damage of protected trees shall not require tree replacement if the Director of Neighborhood Development Services determines that any of the following circumstances exist:
- When a tree is categorized as an unhealthy or undesirable tree and appropriate for removal.
- When a tree, at the time of the inventory, due to natural causes, is dead or irreversibly declining, is in danger of falling, or interferes with any existing or proposed public improvements, is in dangerous proximity to any public utility lines or related facilities, creates unsafe vision clearance, or constitutes a health hazard to persons, property or other trees when removal is necessary to observe good forestry practices.
The topics outlined in the article should be consulted, before, during and after construction to plan for tree preservation, mitigate the effects of construction on local trees and serve as a reference for future plantings. These recommendations, along with the International Society of Arboriculture should serve as valuable references for planners, developers and contractors alike to preserve and enhance the Tri-Cities trees.
We will continue this series over the next few months covering a wide array of topics. Don’t forget, when you’re looking for the best tree maintenance company in Benton City, we’d love the chance to earn your business.
