Purpose
The purpose of this policy is to provide a fair and equitable policy to allow boulevard
trees to be put on boulevards.
Policy Statement
This policy provides the opportunity for residents to request that a tree be planted on
the boulevard adjacent to their property. The cost for providing and planting the tree is
the responsibility of the Municipality.
Scope
This policy is open to all landowners of the town of Killarney to request that a tree be
planted on the town owned boulevard adjacent to their property.
-
The process will start with a request from a resident for a tree to be
planted in the boulevard area adjacent to their property.
The request for a tree to be planted will be made to the office.
-
The Public Works Department will investigate the property, and ensure
that the requestor is the owner of the property. If the requestor is not
the owner, then the request for a tree is stopped, as the request can
only be made by the property owner.
-
The location of the tree planting and species is at the complete
discretion of Public
Works.
-
Each request will typically only receive one tree per property. In the
cases where space is limited it may be determined that there is no
room to plant any trees. In cases where there is space for more than
one tree, the Town may allow additional plantings. This is the sole
discretion of the Public Works.
After the location is confirmed, the tree is to be planted.
-
Trees will be planted annually depending on budget. When the budget
for a specific year is reached, requested tree plantings may be delayed
to the following year. Property owners will be notified if their request
for a tree will be delayed.
-
The cutoff date for requests each year will be April 30. If tree planting
is requested after the cutoff date, the planting will be scheduled for a
following year.
-
The property owner is responsible to relocate, at their cost, any
landscaping or sprinklers that may interfere with the tree planting. Any
of these items are to be re-located prior to planting date. The
Municipality will not be responsible for damage or restoration required
due to relocation or removal of any landscaping or sprinkler systems.
-
The property owner will be responsible for maintenance and care of
the tree for a period of two years. A "care package" will be distributed
at the same time of planting with details of the care for each specific
tree.
