Planning updates: proposed tree-permit change and July Arbor Day celebration
Summary
Planning commissioner Nancy Thill proposed shifting permit responsibility so contractors — not homeowners — apply for tree permits; Arbor Day celebration set for July 10 at the butterfly garden entrance.
Council member Nancy Thill presented suggested changes to the village tree ordinance, including a proposal that contractors — rather than homeowners — be responsible for applying for tree permits. She also announced an Arbor Day celebration scheduled for July 10 at the entrance to the butterfly garden and said park-tree fencing will be replaced as part of maintenance work.
Thill reported that contractor Pizzo serviced the butterfly garden and noted poison hemlock regrowth. The council did not adopt ordinance changes at the meeting; the proposal will require further review and possible ordinance language before any enforcement changes take effect.
