Common Area Tree Policy
At the September Meeting of the Board of Directors, the Common Area Tree Policy was adopted. The policy reflects the Board of Directors commitment to maintaining a healthy urban forest.
As the trees age and grow over time, homeowners may find cause for concern about a particular tree and wish for it to be removed. Trees in the common area will be considered for removal by the Association contingent upon the following criteria, to be determined by a certified arborist:
- Dead
- Dying
- Diseased
- Dangerous
- Destructive
Please note: Tree Removals by Owners: Common area trees are not to be trimmed or removed by individual owners. A homeowner that wishes to request removal of a tree on Association common area should contact management and it will be reviewed by an ISA certified arborist.
Finally, the policy covers re-forestation, with the commitment that for every tree that is removed from common area grounds, one tree will be planted. The location of the newly planted tree does not necessarily have to go in the same location of the tree that was removed.
