ROH Section 10-1.4 requires Waipahu residents to obtain DPR permits before removing, trimming, or pruning street trees along plantation-era roadways.
ROH Section 10-1.4 authorizes the Department of Parks and Recreation Director to issue permits for replacement, removal, planting, spraying, trimming, or pruning of street trees. Waipahu's plantation-era street grid carries mature monkeypod, shower tree, and kiawe canopies along Farrington Highway, Waipahu Depot Road, and interior blocks that are covered by this permit requirement. Private-property trees are generally not subject to Section 10-1.4 unless they are listed as exceptional trees under ROH Chapter 40 Article 8. Unauthorized cutting of Waipahu street trees can draw enforcement from DPR and mandatory replanting.
Unpermitted removal or destructive pruning of Waipahu street trees can result in fines, mandatory replanting at the violator's expense, and additional city enforcement actions.
