Mililani Mauka trees designated under ROH Chapter 40 Article 8 as Exceptional Trees cannot be removed without City Council approval, and any alteration requires a Department of Parks and Recreation permit.
The Exceptional Tree Ordinance protects trees of historic, cultural, or botanical significance on public and private land. ROH §40-8.7 maintains a public register; §40-8.3 creates the Arborist Advisory Committee; §40-8.9 allows emergency action for imminent hazards. Removal or destruction requires a City Council resolution, and alterations need a DPR arborist permit. Mililani Mauka's higher-elevation landscape features some mature monkeypod and rainbow shower trees that may qualify, particularly near older common areas. Nearby construction, including trenching in the drip line or grade changes, can trigger mandatory arborist review.
Violations are misdemeanors with fines up to $10,000 per tree, plus potential restoration orders.
