Pearl City homeowners along Kamehameha Highway and Waimano Home Road must get a permit from Urban Forestry for street tree work under ROH Sec. 10-1.4.
Pearl City's main corridors, including Kamehameha Highway, Kaahumanu Street, and Waimano Home Road, are lined with mature monkeypod and shower trees that provide shade for commuters using the H-1 corridor. ROH Sec. 10-1.4 requires a permit from the Department of Parks and Recreation Division of Urban Forestry for planting, spraying, trimming, pruning, or removal of street trees. Homeowners can trim branches overhanging private property, but structural pruning or trunk work on right-of-way trees requires permit approval. Military tenants in nearby Navy housing typically leave exterior trimming to base housing management, not individual tenants.
Unpermitted trimming can result in citation and arborist-level restitution; damaged street trees may trigger replanting orders at owner expense.
