Cross reference— Licenses and miscellaneous business regulations, Ch. 14.

(a) No person shall plant, move, remove or replace any tree in the public streets or public places within the Town, or cause the same to be done, until a permit, in writing, to do so shall have been first obtained from the Director.

(b) No person shall place or permit any trees, shrubs or plants in boxes on any street or sidewalk without first having applied for and received a permit from the Director. The Director may issue a written permit upon such terms and conditions as the Director may provide, after having determined that such use will not constitute a public nuisance, which permit shall be revocable at the will of the Director.

(Code 1968, § 31-6)

As a condition to the issuance of any permit to remove any trees, the Director may require that the person to whom such permit to remove is granted either deposit per tree an amount established by the Council from time to time by resolution with the Director, who shall then plant approved trees in the place of those removed, subject to the control of the Director as provided in section 26.10.025. Whenever such trees have been removed in accordance with such conditional permit, it shall be a violation of this chapter for the holder of such permit to refuse or neglect to plant another tree if such conditional permit shall so specify.

(Code 1968, § 31-7)

All permits, which are hereafter needed for the installation of public utilities, shall be issued by the Town Engineer and reviewed by the Director. The Director shall be responsible for issuing permits to any telephone, telegraph, electric power or other public utility company, to trim or perform other operations affecting trees. The amount of such trimming, or the extent of such other operations, shall be limited by the actual present necessities of the service of such utility company, and all such work shall be done in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with the requirements prescribed by the Director.
