�Parks and Recreation Committee - Tree Commission Policy

December 6, 2011

1. The Tree Commission's primary responsibility is the positive husbandry of public trees and
woodlands. This includes:
"

An inventory of current village trees

•

A comprehensive plan for pruning and maintaining village trees

•

A comprehensive plan for replacing and/or adding village trees

2. The Commission will be composed of:
•

The DPW General Foreman

•

The Head of the Building Department

•

2 representatives of the EAC

•

2 residents of the Village

3. The removal of any tree at least 8" in diameter and 4 1/2 feet in height requires a permit.
There shall be a regulated setback of 10" around the sides and back of each home where
landowners may remove trees without a permit.
4. There shall be a Tree Officer appointed by the Mayor whose function is to assess tree
conditions and issue permits for tree removal.
5. The Tree Officer must be someone knowledgeable about trees and trained in tree
management. The Tree Officer will work with the Tree Commission on conserving,
protecting and pruning village trees. Regarding trees on private property, the Tree Officer
will take into account the type of tree, whether it is a specimen species and whether it is
common to the area, the character of the neighborhood and the general welfare of the
Village. If necessary, the Tree Officer shall consult a certified arborist.
6. A landowner will automatically be granted a permit if he submits a report by a certified
arborist that a tree is dead.
7. A landowner may appeal the denial of a permit to the Planning Board.
8. When trees are removed on private property the landowner must plant 2 trees of the same
species either on his own property or in a place designated by the Tree Commission.
Instead, landowners may contribute a sum equal to the cost of 2 trees to the Tree Fund.
9. The head of the Building Department and the DPW General Foreman shall be empowered
to determine if an emergency exists and a tree must be removed due to safety
considerations.
