SECTION 2 - TREE INFORMATION

As a Condition to a Permit that has been issued for a Tree located on a residential property where there is an occupied dwelling, the permit holder will be required to replace the tree at a 1:1 ratio. Any other permit holder will be subject to the replacement ratios depicted in Table B.1 within Schedule B of By-law 033-2024. Should it be determined by an Arborist that a tree is dead, diseased or hazardous, the tree replacement ratios outlined within Table B.1 do not apply. Should an Officer determine a contravention of the By-law has occurred, an Order to Comply may be issued and in such case the planting of Replacement Trees is required at a ratio depicted within Table B.1 within Schedule B of By-law 033-2024.
