Englewood requires replacement plantings for permitted tree removals, or a contribution of at least $300 per replacement to the Environmental Commission Tree Fund when on-site planting is impractical.
Chapter 425 conditions tree-removal permits on a replacement plan complying with Section 425-11. When on-site replacement planting is not feasible, the City Engineer may authorize a cash contribution to the Environmental Commission Tree Fund in lieu of planting. The contribution must bear a reasonable relationship to the actual cost of planting equivalent replacement trees, and the ordinance sets a floor of no less than $300 per required replacement. Funds support municipal tree planting throughout Englewood.
Removing trees without replacing them; failing to contribute to the Tree Fund when in-lieu payment is required; underfunded contributions below the $300 floor.
