1. Section 30-39: Tree removal, permit required.

Code Enforcement Special Magistrate Hearing Regular Meeting · 2026-05-11 · agenda_item

This notice concerns a violation regarding tree removal at a church parking lot. The violation occurred on March 27, 2026, when four trees were found cut down without a required permit. The church, Faith Church, stated the trees were removed in preparation for parking lot repairs and they were unaware a permit was needed. An arborist report confirmed a tree removal permit and mitigation would have been required. This item is currently under review by the Code Enforcement Special Magistrate. The project involves addressing the violation, which may include permit applications, potential mitigation, and the planned parking lot repairs. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider reaching out to Faith Church to offer services related to tree removal permits, arborist services, site plan alterations, and parking lot repairs. Early engagement before final plans and permits are settled could provide a competitive advantage.
