A. No tree removal permitted as a Type B, C, or D permit shall take place until the applicant has received a notice to proceed from the city engineer on public improvements. When no public improvements are proposed, tree removal shall not occur until building permits have been issued. The community development director may make exceptions to this requirement when warranted due to extenuating circumstances or when no such permits are necessary.

B. For applicants seeking a Type B permit to remove trees independent of site improvements, no tree removal shall take place until tree protection measures have been inspected and approved by the community development director.

C. Inspection and approval of all required tree protection measures by the community development director are required prior to tree removals permitted as Type B, C, and D permits.

D. Forty-eight hours prior to tree removal, a copy of the tree removal permit shall be prominently displayed on the subject property and shall remain on display at all times while tree removal operations are being conducted.

E. All required mitigation shall be completed within one year of the removal. [Ord. 918 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016; Ord. 817 § 8-3J.380, 2006.]
