11. For the purposes of this Bylaw, each tree cut, removed or damaged in violation of this
Bylaw and each day that a violation of this Bylaw is caused or permitted to exist by any
person, shall constitute a separate offence.

Part 5
Penalties

12. In addition to any prosecution pursuant to Part 4 of this Bylaw, where an owner cuts,
removes or damages, or suffers or permits any tree to be cut, removed or damaged, in
contravention of this Bylaw, or in excess of any permission, or in violation of any terms
and conditions of a tree cutting permit issued pursuant to this Bylaw, the owner shall pay
the penalties imposed under this Part 5 and:

(a) shall plant on the same parcel of land the number, size and species of replacement
trees required by this Bylaw, as determined by the General Manager in
accordance with this Bylaw; and, in addition,

(b) where the tree cut, removed or damaged is identified in a tree preservation plan
approved by the City as a tree to be retained or protected, then the General
Manager may require the owner to plant the replacement trees at the exact
location as the tree that has been cut, removed or damaged and may require that
any building or structure shall not be located within the drip line of the
replacement trees at full growth.

13. The penalty for cutting, removing or damaging a protected tree, other than a significant
tree or a specimen quality tree, is ONE THOUSAND ($1,000.00) DOLLARS per tree, or
the loss of any securities provided to the City to ensure protection and preservation of the
tree, whichever amount is greater. The size, number, species and location of replacement
trees and amount of securities required to ensure the planting and maintenance of
replacement trees, is to be determined by the General Manager, based on the size,
condition, species and location of the tree cut, removed or damaged in contravention of
this Bylaw.

14. The penalty for cutting, removing or damaging a significant tree is TEN THOUSAND
($10,000.00) DOLLARS per tree. The size, number, species and location of replacement
trees, and amount of securities required to ensure the planting and maintenance of
replacement trees, is to be determined by the General Manager based on the size,
condition, species and location of the tree cut, removed or damaged in contravention of
this Bylaw.

-8-
15. The penalty for cutting, removing or damaging a specimen quality tree is TWO
THOUSAND ($2,000.00) DOLLARS per tree, or the loss of any securities provided to
the City to ensure protection and preservation of the tree, whichever amount is greater.
The size, number, species and location of replacement trees and amount of securities
required to ensure the planting and maintenance of replacement trees is to be determined
by the General Manager, based on the size, condition, species and location of the tree cut,
removed or damaged in contravention of this Bylaw.

16. The size, number, species and location of replacement trees required as a penalty under
this Part 5 and the amount of securities required to ensure their planting and maintenance
will be determined by the General Manager and is dependent upon the value of the tree
removed and conditions of the lot where the replacement trees are to be planted. Where
upsized replacement trees are required by this Bylaw, the amount of the securities will
reflect the value of the upsized trees and the related planting and maintenance costs.

17. Except as specified in Section 48, if the owner fails or refuses to plant the required
number, size and type of replacement trees in the specified locations within four (4)
months of receiving written direction from the General Manager to do so, the City may
use the security collected to either have the trees planted onto the owner's lot or use the
securities to plant trees elsewhere on City-owned property.

18. If an owner fails or refuses to plant the required number, size and type of replacement
trees in the specified locations after receiving written direction from the General Manager
to do so, the City, by its employees or other persons, at reasonable times and in a
reasonable manner, may enter the owner's lot and fulfill the requirement by planting the
replacement trees at the expense of the owner.

19. In the event that the owner of the lot described in Section 18 fails to pay the costs of
compliance before the 31st day of December in the year following the year that the
compliance was effected by the City, the costs shall be added to and form part of the
taxes payable on the lot as taxes in arrears.

20. Prosecution of a person pursuant to Part 4 of this Bylaw does not exempt the person from
the provisions of Part 5 of this Bylaw.

Part 6
Significant Trees

21. The owner of a significant tree shall maintain or cause to maintain the tree in accordance
with sound arboricultural practice.

22. No person shall prune the branches or roots of a significant tree without first obtaining a
tree cutting permit to do so in accordance with Part 7. There is no fee for such a permit.

23. A significant tree shall not be cut, removed or damaged in any way unless it is first
removed from SCHEDULE "B" by an amendment to this Bylaw.

-9-
24. The General Manager, with the consent of the owner of the significant tree, may direct
that a plaque or marker, that provides information about the significant tree, be placed
near the significant tree.

Part 7
Tree Cutting Permits

25. A person wishing to cut or remove a protected tree shall apply to the General Manager
for a tree cutting permit to cut or remove the tree. A tree cutting permit application shall
be in a form approved by the General Manager. The tree cutting permit shall be in a form
approved by the General Manager. The tree cutting permit may determine the number,
size, species and location of replacement trees and required security.

26. Notice of the tree cutting permit shall be posted on the lot for which a tree cutting permit
has been issued in a location visible to the public, prior to the commencement of any
cutting or removal of a protected tree and shall remain posted on the lot until the
completion of all work related to the cutting or removal of protected trees on the lot. The
notice shall include a copy of the tree cutting permit, identify by species and location the
trees which are to be cut or removed and provide a contact number for the permit holder
and the City.

27. A tree cutting permit is not required for the pruning of a protected tree, other than a
significant tree, in accordance with sound arboricultural practice. The pruning and
treatment of diseased trees in accordance with sound arboricultural practice, shall be
practiced where possible and practical as an alternative to the cutting or removal of a
protected tree. Sound arboricultural practice shall not include the following:

(a) the removal of branches or limbs on the upper sixty-seven percent (67%) of the
total height of the protected tree;

(b) the removal of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the protected tree's total
branches or limbs within one (1) twelve (12) month period"; and

(c) the topping of a protected tree, except where the owner has shown, to the General
Manager's satisfaction, that the tree has been previously topped in compliance
with this Bylaw.

28. The fee for the tree cutting permit shall be determined as set out in Part 8 and shall be
paid upon application for the permit. No fee is required for a tree cutting permit issued
pursuant to Part 7, Section 31.
29. Subject to Part 7, Section 35, a tree cutting permit to cut or remove a protected tree, other
than a significant tree, may be issued by the General Manager only in the following
circumstances:

(a) where an arborist provides an arborist report to the satisfaction of the General
Manager that a tree is an unreasonable hazard to the safety of persons or property,
or where the applicant has otherwise demonstrated to the satisfaction of the

- 10 -
 General Manager that the tree is hazardous, dead, damaged, diseased or in decline
beyond expectation of recovery;

(b) where the General Manager, or his or her duly authorized representative, or an
engineer employed by any public utility or an arborist certifies that in his or her
opinion a tree is impairing, interfering with, or presents a risk or hazard to the
operation of sewers, drains, water lines, septic fields, electrical lines, poles or
other similar equipment and appurtenances and that the impairment, interference
or risk cannot be reduced or removed in any way other than the removal of the
tree;

(c) where the tree prevents the owner of the lot on which the tree is located from
developing or using a lot in a manner permitted under the Zoning Bylaw, and the
development or use cannot be modified to accommodate the tree without causing
the owner undue hardship as determined by the General Manager;

(d) where:

(i) the tree has a mature height of eight (8) metres or less, situated within two
(2) metres of an existing building foundation wall permitted pursuant to
the Zoning By-law; or

(ii) the tree has a mature height of more than eight (8) metres situated within
three (3) metres of an existing building foundation wall permitted pursuant
to the Zoning By-law; or

(iii) a building permitted by the Zoning By-law is proposed and the building
layout, location, or shape cannot be modified to accommodate the tree
without causing the owner undue hardship as determined by the General
Manager.

(e) where the tree is situated on a lot within the Agricultural Land Reserve, which is
zoned to permit agricultural use and the application is accompanied by a sworn
declaration of the owner declaring that the tree is to be cut or removed to permit
agricultural use, that the agricultural use cannot be located elsewhere on the lot so
as to accommodate the tree, and that the owner agrees in writing that no
application for subdivision, rezoning, or development of that lot will be accepted
by the City for a period of five (5) years commencing on the date of issuance of
the tree cutting permit; or

(f) where the tree is situated on a lot outside the Agricultural Land Reserve, which is
zoned to permit agricultural use and the application is accompanied by an arborist
report and by a sworn declaration of the owner declaring that the tree is to be cut
or removed to permit agricultural use, that the agricultural use cannot be located
elsewhere on that lot so as to accommodate the tree, and where the owner enters
into a restrictive covenant registered on the title of the lot documenting that the
owner has agreed not to make application for development of the lot for a period
of ten (10) years, and that full replacement trees and all other applicable

- 11 -
 provisions of this Bylaw, as determined by the General Manager, will apply
should the development application be considered for the lot within the ten (10)
year period.

30. The General Manager may issue a tree cutting permit for the removal of a protected tree
other than a significant tree where the owner submits an arborist report which documents
that the protected tree, by virtue of its size and species, is inappropriate for its location
and the reasons that it is deemed to be inappropriate for its location, all to the satisfaction
of the General Manager. The General Manager shall determine the number, size, species
and location of replacement trees and required securities.

31. A tree cutting permit will be issued for the pruning of a significant tree where the owner
submits an arborist report which certifies that the pruning is necessary and where this
report is approved by the City Landscape Architect, the Trees and Landscape Manager or
an arborist chosen by the City, in which case the General Manager may require, as a
condition of the tree cutting permit, that all pruning activity be carried out under the on-
site supervision of an arborist.

32. The General Manager may, as a condition of any tree cutting permit:

(a) require that a tree survey, arborist report in accordance with the terms of the tree
cutting permit application, or both, accompany the tree cutting permit application;

(b) require that preliminary lot grading and servicing plans accompany the tree
cutting permit application;

(c) require that the cutting and removal of trees or specific trees be carried out under
the supervision of an arborist;

(d) recommend the treatment of diseased trees in accordance with sound

arboricultural practice as an alternative to the removal of a protected tree; and

(e) determine the location, number, species and size of replacement trees required.

33. The General Manager may revoke a tree cutting permit if the terms and conditions of the
permit have been breached or the information supplied by the applicant in support of the
permit is found by the General Manager to have been inaccurate, incomplete or
erroneous.

34. The General Manager may retain the services of an independent arborist to review an
arborist report submitted to the City under the provisions of this Bylaw, in support of an
application for a tree cutting permit, in instances where the completeness or accuracy of
the report are brought into question through a field inspection by the City Landscape
Architect, Trees and Landscape Manager or the Environmental Technician. Where the
original arborist report submitted to the City is shown to be incomplete or inaccurate, the
cost of the independent arborist report shall be paid by the owner and collected by the
City, prior to the adoption of the related rezoning or the subdivision approval or the
issuance of the related tree cutting permit, whichever comes first.

- 12 -

40. Where a tree cutting permit must be amended to show a change in the number or location
of trees to be retained or removed after the tree cutting permit has been issued, the permit
holder will be required to pay a non-refundable permit amendment fee in the amount of
EIGHTY-EIGHT ($88.00) DOLLARS plus applicable taxes.

41. For the purposes of determining the fees under Part 8, any lot against which a land use
contract has been registered shall be deemed to have the zone underlying the applicable

amended, shall be deemed to have the zoning which corresponds to the zone name in
Zoning Bylaw, 1979, No. 5942, as amended.

Securities

42. Where replacement trees or retention of existing trees are required as a condition of a tree
cutting permit or as part of a penalty for cutting, removing or damaging protected trees
without a tree cutting permit or cutting, removing or damaging trees in excess of the
number allowed by the tree cutting permit, the owner or person responsible for the
cutting, removal or damage shall provide to the City a security deposit in cash or letter of
credit in the amount specified on the tree cutting permit or a penalty notice, for the period
and on the terms specified in Part 8 of this Bylaw. No interest shall be paid by the City
on security deposits.

43. Any letter of credit required to be provided under this Bylaw shall be a clean,
unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit drawn from a Canadian financial institution
acceptable to the City and in a form acceptable to the City. If, for any reason, the
irrevocable letter of credit ceases to be effective security or becomes unenforceable so as
to remove or reduce its purpose as full security for the due and proper performance of the
requirements of this Bylaw, the owner shall replace it with a further letter of credit
acceptable to the City within twenty-one (21) days prior to the expiry of the letter of
credit then held by the City. If the owner fails to do so, the City will draw down on the
current letter of credit without notice or restriction and hold the monies in lieu thereof.

44. If at any time an owner fails to comply with the provisions of this Bylaw relating to
requirements for retention of existing trees or replacement trees and their maintenance,
the City may by its employees or others under its direction enter upon the lands that are
the subject of the requirements to plant replacement trees or maintain protected trees and
for such purposes may draw upon the securities provided and expend the funds to cover
all costs and expenses of so doing. Alternatively, the City may use the securities to plant
trees elsewhere on any City-owned property.

- 15 -
45. The amount of the security for the provision, installation and maintenance of replacement
trees, as may be required by this Bylaw, shall be as follows:

(a) FOUR HUNDRED ($400.00) DOLLARS, plus applicable taxes per replacement
tree where the replacement tree required is a five (5) centimetre caliper deciduous
tree or a three (3) metre tall conifer;

(b) EIGHT HUNDRED ($800.00) DOLLARS, plus applicable taxes per replacement
tree where the replacement tree required is an eight (8) centimetre caliper
deciduous tree or a four (4) metre tall conifer;

(c) as specified by the General Manager when the replacement tree is other than the
sizes listed in 45(a) or 45(b); and

(d) where the replacement trees are part of the overall landscaping required under a
development permit, development variance permit or subdivision, the security is
to be in the amount specified in the approved landscape cost estimate associated
with the development permit, development variance permit or subdivision; and

46. The amount of security for the trees proposed to be retained as a requirement of a
subdivision application, development permit, development variance permit, building
permit or demolition permit shall be as follows:

(a) TEN THOUSAND ($10,000.00) DOLLARS per significant tree;

(b) FIVE THOUSAND ($5,000.00) DOLLARS per specimen quality tree;

(c) THREE THOUSAND ($3,000.00) DOLLARS per protected tree other than 46(a)
and 46(b) above; and

(d) The total amount of security deposited under Section 46 may not exceed ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND ($100,000.00) DOLLARS or, in the case of a single
family subdivision, TEN THOUSAND ($10,000.00) DOLLARS per lot created by
the subdivision, whichever amount is lower, for each tree cutting permit or for each
subdivision application, development permit.

46.1 The security provided to the City under Section 46 will be held by the City until
two (2) years after building final approval has been issued. If an Environmental
Technician determines that the retained trees have not been damaged during
construction, then the General Manager may, at his or her sole discretion, release
the security after building final approval has been issued.

- 16 -
47. The amount of security held by the City under Section 45 shall be released in stages as
provided in Sections 48 and 49. It will be a condition of the release of any security
provided under this Bylaw, that the General Manager be satisfied that the owner has
complied with the tree replacement and maintenance requirements of this Bylaw and the
tree cutting permit.

48. Subject to Section 47, a security deposit collected to cover the cost and maintenance of a
replacement tree, shall be reduced as follows:

(a) by fifty (50%) percent of the original amount after the planting of replacement
trees has been approved by the City in accordance with the inspection
requirements as set out in Part 11; and

(b) by the balance of the deposit after one year from the date of the first reduction
provided that the condition of the replacement trees has been approved by the
City in accordance with the inspection requirements as set out in Part 11.

49. Subject to Section 47 a security deposit collected to cover the total costs of the required
landscaping, including replacement trees, shall be reduced as follows:

(a) by ninety (90%) percent of the original amount after the landscaping is completed
and approved by the City in accordance with the inspection requirements set out
in Part 11; and

(b) by the balance of the deposit after one year from the date of the first reduction
provided that the landscaping is approved by the City in accordance with the
inspection requirements set out in Part 11.

Part 9
Replacement Trees

50. Replacement trees shall be required in accordance with this Bylaw for each lot from
which any protected tree is cut, removed or damaged and must be of a species and size as
determined by the General Manager or as specified in the tree cutting permit, at the
discretion of the General Manager. Replacement trees required pursuant to Part 5 shall
be of a size, species and location as determined by the General Manager.

51. Replacement Trees must meet the plant condition and structure requirements set out in
the latest edition of the BCSLA/BCLNA "B.C. Landscape Standard" and the CNTA
"Canadian Standards for Nursery Stock" to be considered acceptable by the General
Manager.

- 17 -
52. Replacement Trees must be planted and maintained in accordance with the requirements
set out in the latest edition of the BCSLA/BCLNA "B.C. Landscape Standard".

53. Replacement Trees shall be planted, where possible, on the same lot as the trees that are
cut or removed from the lot, to the extent that the lot will accommodate such replacement
trees in accordance with sound arboricultural practice.

53.1 Replacement trees shall not be planted:

(a) in the case of trees having a mature height of eight (8) metres or less, within two
(2) metres of a building foundation wall; or
(b) in the case of trees having a mature height of greater than eight (8) metres, within
three (3) metres of a building foundation wall; and
(c) within one (1) metre of any property line of a lot.

54. Where no construction or site disturbance is proposed that would affect the planting of
replacement trees, the replacement trees must be planted within ninety (90) days of the
date of issuance of the tree cutting permit.

55. Where a replacement tree is to be planted pursuant to Part 5 of this Bylaw, it must be
planted within ninety (90) days of written notice being delivered to the owner by the City.

56. Where the planting of replacement trees would hinder proposed construction or where
proposed construction would jeopardize the survival of replacement trees, the
replacement trees must be planted within ninety (90) days of the final occupancy
approval for the last building being constructed that would jeopardize the survival of the
tree, but in any case, within three (3) years of the date of the issuance of the tree cutting
permit when the date of construction completion is not known, except where an extension
of time is granted in writing by the General Manager.

57. The number of replacement trees required under Section 50 shall be two (2) replacement
trees for each one (1) protected tree that is cut, removed or damaged, except that where
the protected tree is an alder or cottonwood tree then one (1) replacement tree shall be
required for each alder or cottonwood tree that is cut, removed or damaged. If, in the
assessment of the General Manager, the lot cannot accommodate two (2) replacement
trees for each protected tree that is cut, removed or damaged without compromising
sound arboricultural practices, due to the size or other characteristics of the lot, the owner
shall be required to pay cash-in-lieu to the City in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED
($400.00) DOLLARS plus applicable taxes for each replacement tree that cannot be
accommodated.

58. The General Manager may reduce the number of replacement trees required in Section 57
and increase the size of the required replacement trees and increase the amount of
securities from FOUR HUNDRED ($400.00) DOLLARS plus applicable taxes per tree to
EIGHT HUNDRED ($800.00) DOLLARS plus applicable taxes per tree where it is
required by the General Manager that upsizing is required.

- 18 -
59. The cash-in-lieu described in Section 57 shall not exceed THIRTY THOUSAND
($30,000.00) DOLLARS, plus applicable taxes per acre of land from which trees are
removed.

60. The number of replacement trees to be planted on each lot in single-family subdivisions,
based on the zoning designation of the lot being created, may not exceed the number as
specified below, provided that the requirements of Sections 57, Error! Reference source
not found. and 59 are met:

Size of Lot Being Created No. of Replacement Trees

Required Per New Lot
RF-12 and RF-G (those RF-G 0, unless otherwise
Lots smaller than 340 m2) determined by the General
Manager
RF, RF-G Lots greater than or 3
equal to 340 m2, RF-SS, R-F(R),
R-F(F), R-F(C)
RH, RH-G, R-1, R-H(G) 5
Larger than RH To be determined by the
General Manager

61. Where the total number of replacement trees required for the subdivision is less than one-
half of the total number of protected trees to be removed from the parent lots that are
being subdivided, the General Manager may require that the size of the replacement trees
be increased and the amount of securities be increased to reflect the larger size of the
replacement trees.

62. Where a tree that is not a protected tree is proposed to be retained within a proposed
subdivision, and where the tree is the same size or larger than the size of the required
replacement tree, the retained tree may be considered as one (1) of the replacement trees
required for that lot, provided that it is growing in a location that does not conflict with
proposed buildings, driveways, services or the construction of those buildings, driveways
or services. If the number of trees retained on one (1) lot exceeds the number of
replacement trees required for that lot, the extra trees may be credited against other lots.
However, this transfer of credits from one (1) lot to another will be limited to a maximum
of two (2) credits per lot, provided that a minimum of one (1) tree is planted in the front
yard of each new lot.

Part 10
Tree Protection

63. Where the trunk of any protected tree is within ten (10) metres of any excavation,
demolition, construction, or engineering works, or as otherwise required by the General
Manager, a tree protection barrier must be installed around the protected tree in
accordance with Schedule "C".

- 19 -
64. No demolition permit, building permit or tree cutting permit shall be issued before the
tree protection barrier has been installed and approved by either the Environmental
Technician or the General Manager or his duly authorized representative, unless
otherwise directed by the General Manager.

65. A tree protection barrier must remain in place and in accordance with Schedule "C" until
the removal of the tree protection barrier is approved by the General Manager.

66. Site disturbance within the tree protection zone is prohibited including, but not limited to,
site grading, deposition or storage of soil or any other any material, disposal of any toxic
material, access by any vehicular traffic or heavy equipment, or use of the area as an
amenity space during construction.

67. Any work within a tree protection zone must be approved by the General Manager, prior
to its commencement and the General Manager may refuse to allow the work or may
specify conditions under which the work is to be undertaken.

Part 11
Inspection and Assessment

68. The Landscape Technician, City Landscape Architect, Trees and Landscape Manager, an
arborist or similarly qualified expert retained by the General Manager to provide
technical advice to the General Manager, or any Bylaw Enforcement Officer of the City
is authorized to enter at all reasonable times without the consent of the owner on any lot
that is subject to the Bylaw to ascertain whether the regulations, prohibitions and
requirements of this Bylaw or any tree cutting permit are being met or to assess or inspect
any tree or tree remains on the lot.

69. Where a protected tree has been cut or damaged on a lot in violation of this Bylaw,
without a tree cutting permit, or in excess of any permission or in violation of any terms
and conditions of a tree cutting permit, the trunks, limbs, roots, and remains of the cut or
damaged tree shall not be removed from the lot until an investigation and assessment by
the General Manager is completed and the removal is expressly authorized by the
General Manager.

70. In accordance with Part 8, Section 47, once all replacement trees required under a tree
cutting permit have been planted, or once the landscaping requirements of a development
permit or building permit have been substantially completed, the owner may either:

(a) request that the Environmental Technician conduct a field review to confirm that
the replacement trees or landscaping have been provided and installed in
accordance with this Bylaw and any related permits, and if a reduction or release
of securities is in order; or

(b) have a landscape architect submit to the City a sealed BCSLA Schedule L-3,
provided that the same landscape architect has previously submitted to the City, a
BCSLA Schedule L-1 and L-2 for the same project and work.

- 20 -
71. A ONE HUNDRED and SIXTY ($160.00) DOLLARS plus applicable taxes Site Visit
fee will be charged for every field review that has been requested and conducted after the
first review for any project, where no reasonable attempt has been made by the owner to
correct the deficiency(s) identified during the previous field review. No further field
reviews will be conducted until the Site Visit fee has been paid in full.
