Council tightens tree-permit rules, sets $50 application fee and replacement requirements
Summary
Ordinance 1339-2025 updates tree protection code: $50 permit application fee, replacement options requiring 1.5" caliper trees or $100 payment per removed tree, and clarifies approval process and replacement decision authority.
The Borough adopted Ordinance 1339-2025 to amend Chapter 22 Article 13 (Tree Protection). The ordinance sets a $50 application fee for tree permits, requires replacement proposals for removed trees (replacement on-site with minimum 1.5" caliper saplings or a $100 payment per removed tree if replacement is not possible), and amends the approval process and committee decision provisions.
The ordinance was moved and seconded and passed on second and final reading by unanimous roll call. The changes provide a clearer path for replacement or in-lieu payment to the Borough Tree Fund.
