Any tree in Ewa Gentry listed under ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 as an Exceptional Tree cannot be removed without City Council approval, and any alteration requires a Department of Parks and Recreation permit.
The Exceptional Tree Ordinance protects trees with historic, cultural, or botanical significance on both public and private land. ROH §40-8.7 maintains a public register, §40-8.3 establishes the Arborist Advisory Committee, and §40-8.9 allows emergency action for imminent hazards. Removal or destruction requires a City Council resolution; pruning and other alteration needs a DPR arborist permit. Though Ewa Gentry is a newer master-planned community, kiawe and monkeypod remnants from historic sugar-plantation landscapes may qualify. Construction near designated trees, including trenching within the drip line, can trigger mandatory arborist review.
Violations are misdemeanors with fines up to $10,000 per tree plus potential restoration orders.
