As often as possible Asked Questions When is a license required? The's city code section 3.600 to 3.613 states that "a person will obtain a grant approved by the City Arborist or designee prior to planting, removing or major pruning any tree located on an open zone." City staff on official business and open service companies that hold a present establishment concurrence with the City are excluded from the license prerequisite. What is an open zone? An open region is property owned by the City, all committed open privileges of-way and any property under the influence of the City. For instance, city parks, middle strips and property paralleling a committed open road, including walkways, are altogether open regions. On most committed open boulevards, the open privileges of-way can be dictated by estimating 30' out from the focal point of the asphalt on the road. What is major pruning? Major pruning is the particular removal of over 20% of a tree's crown (inside a yearly growing season) to meet explicit goals and objectives. The crown is the leaves and parts of a tree estimated from the lowest branch on the storage compartment to the top of the tree. Topping isn't major pruning and is generally a prohibited movement. The action I have arranged does not require an approved grant. Would i be able to go ahead and start work? Before beginning work, we recommend that you contact the City Arborist (541) 504-2000 to ensure the arranged movement will be conducted as per the provisions of Redmond City Code. City Code prohibits certain exercises and requires measures be taken to protect an open tree from harm. What occurs after a license application is submitted? The application will be assessed by the City Arborist. The candidate and property owner will be notified of application approval or forswearing. In most cases, notification will be inside 5 working days from submittal of application. What are the criteria that should be met to get approval to remove a tree? Licenses to remove open trees will be conceded only if the City Arborist or designee discover that at any rate one of the following conditions exists: A. The tree is hazardous and removal is the only treatment that will turn around the danger. A hazardous tree is a tree or tree part that has a high potential to come up short and cause harm or damage to people or property. B. The tree is dead or biting the dust, and its condition cannot be switched. C. The tree is unhealthy and presents a potential risk to other trees inside the City. D. The tree is making harm close by open or private foundation and the harm cannot be corrected through reasonable treatment or support to the tree or the framework. E. The tree, which has been resolved to be of reasonable or poor condition, is antagonistically influencing the strength of neighboring open trees that have been resolved to be of good or incredible condition. F. The tree is located under an electrical power line and an ISA Certified Arborist/Utility Specialist has decided the tree will expect topping to meet Oregon Public Utility Commission principles. An approved license to remove a tree may incorporate a provision requiring the permittee to supplant the trees removed with trees approved by the City Arborist. What are the criteria that should be met to get approval to plant a tree? Licenses to plant a tree on an open territory will be allowed if the City Arborist or designee confirm that: A. The qualities of the site will allow a tree to grow to a sound develop size and do so without becoming an annoyance. B. The tree species is tolerant of the site's attributes. C. The tree species isn't on the City Arborist's prohibited rundown. What are the criteria that should be met to get approval to major prune a tree? Licenses to major prune open trees will be conceded if the City Arborist or designee discovers that at any rate one of the following objectives must be met by pruning more than 20% of the tree's crown: A. Decrease danger of tree disappointment (branch or whole tree). B. Keep up the soundness of the tree. C. Alleviate tree impedance with road or walkway traffic. Are there work performance norms that should be followed? Indeed. A copy of these gauges is accessible for audit at City Hall, the Deschutes County Library – Redmond branch, and the City Public Works Building. Would i be able to request the decision of the City Arborist? Indeed.
