Forestry Division at (920) 832-5910 with questions on tree planting.
TREE PLANTING POLICY
Trees are
planted on new street construction and street reconstruction
projects during the planting season following the completion of
construction. Trees are also planted on request and as replacement
for trees that are removed if space allows.
Sizes available/standards:
New street
construction standard planting size is 1 ½" diameter.
Street reconstruction standard planting size when trees are removed
is 2 ½" diameter.
Tree replacements 2 ½" diameter.
New planting requests - either size available.
Species selection:
Species selection is
based on the site and its limitations. A wide variety of species are
available. Planting of new streets and reconstruction is done on a
block by block basis with one species on each block.
Spacing requirements:
1. 40-60' lateral
spacing
2. 60' from approach side of intersections
3. 30' from exit side of intersection
4. 10' from driveway aprons
5. 10' from water shut off valves
6. 10' from gas line T’s
7. 20' minimum from street lights
8. Appropriate spacing from existing landscaping
Guarantee:
All trees carry a full
guarantee unless damaged or neglected by the homeowner.
TREE REMOVAL
POLICY
Trees are removed from
city streets, parks and right of ways at no charge to property owner
for the following reasons:
1. Tree health has
declined beyond repair by proper arboricultural methods.
2. Public safety is
jeopardized by unsafe structure that cannot be corrected by
generally accepted arboricultural practices.
3. Street
reconstruction design that would require excessive root removal that
would cause an unsafe condition.
Trees may be removed
and property owners charged for the cost of the tree removal and the
value of the tree as established by the method approved by the
International Society of Arboriculture in cases where construction
or building design require removal. Tree protection should be a high
priority for design considerations.
