When a Glen Cove property owner removes a tree under a Chapter 263 permit - particularly a designated specimen tree or one designated for preservation - the Tree Commission and Building Department may require replacement plantings of equal kind to the Board's satisfaction.
Replacement obligations are commonly attached as conditions in tree removal permits and as ongoing conditions of subdivision/site-plan approvals. Prior to issuance of the certificate of occupancy, the Building Department Administrator or his or her authorized designee inspects the premises to make certain that all trees designated for preservation in fact remain in existence, and where any trees have been removed without the Board's prior approval, the applicant must replace them with trees of equal kind to the Board's satisfaction. Replacement species, size and location are typically specified.
Failure to plant required replacement trees can delay or block certificate of occupancy issuance and exposes the owner to chapter penalties under § 1-15.
