Council hears proposed changes to tree permit rules; Arbor Day celebration set for July 10
Summary
Councilmember Nancy Thill proposed amending the tree ordinance to require contractors, rather than homeowners, to apply for tree permits. She also announced an Arbor Day celebration July 10 and reported Poison Hemlock regrowth in the butterfly garden.
Councilmember Nancy Thill presented proposed changes to the village tree ordinance, saying contractors — not homeowners — should be responsible for applying for tree permits under the revised rules. She also announced the Arbor Day celebration for July 10 at the entrance to the butterfly garden and reported that the contractor Pizzo noted Poison Hemlock was returning in the garden. Thill said she is gathering information about burying powerlines.
The proposal to shift permit responsibility to contractors was described as the "biggest" potential change she is pursuing; no ordinance amendment was voted on at the May 9 meeting and the council did not set a public hearing or adoption timeline at this session.
