B. Changes of fees. The fees set forth above may be increased or decreased
from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, and a current
record and schedule of such fees shall be maintained by the Village
Clerk/Treasurer.
The Building Inspector may require the planting
of the same or an agreed-upon alternative species of trees which are
as nearly comparable in type and size as practical to the trees to
be removed, when the individual character of the trees or the ecological
setting requires special consideration as a condition for the issuance
of a tree permit for removal. The location for planting of the replacement
trees shall be specified in writing by the Building Inspector prior
to issuance of the tree permit for removal.
[Amended 12-4-2002 by L.L. No. 3-2002]
A. Each tree removed, cut down, destroyed or substantially
altered in violation of this chapter shall be a separate violation
and punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000 or by imprisonment for
a term not exceeding 15 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.
B. The Building Inspector shall stop all work and construction
activity on any property where a violation of this chapter has occurred
and is prohibited from issuing any certificate of occupancy or additional
permits for construction at the property or permitting work to resume,
unless and until the provisions of this section have been satisfied.
C. In addition, any person convicted of violating the
provisions of this chapter shall be required to replace, in kind,
each and every tree removed, cut down, destroyed or substantially
altered in violation of this chapter. If a tree was so large and mature
that it cannot be replaced, the court, upon the recommendation of
the Building Inspector, may require the planting of multiple trees.
