All trees have some value and there are different levels of tolerance depending on where on the property the tree is located. Every tree has some drawbacks that people complain about, where do you draw the line? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Likewise, there must be some allowances to remove Socially Significant trees when necessary. Is there a register of them? What’s the procedure for getting one designated?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The replacement formula is problematic. How do you justify removing a 30cm tree and replacing it with two 15cm trees or 3 10cm trees? Where’s the science on this? The supply of very large caliper trees will need to increase overnight, and I’m sure you’ve heard of the studies about long term results of planting larger vs smaller specimens.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If people want to plant 10 3cm trees, which for example might represent a 40mm caliper size tree they’d have to have a pretty big lot! Ten 40mm trees for one 30cm tree is excessive, and few homes will have room for 10 replacement trees. If you try to force everyone who wants to take down a tree to plant a woodlot on their yard that’s not going to work. Will you create a cash in lieu option for those people who only have room for 2 new trees and have to pay you for the others there is no room for? The cost of the replacement trees would exceed the cost of taking down the 30cm tree, which will make homeowners very angry and engender rampant non-compliance. Will you apply the same standard to municipal trees too? If you don’t you’ll be accused of hypocrisy. If you want to go that route, what about 2 50mm caliper trees for each 30cm tree removed, using the idea of one 50mm tree for each 15cm in diameter as a reasonable starting point, plus a cash in lieu option for more than 2 trees required per removal per lot? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Stephen Smith<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Urban Forest Associates<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Urban Forestry & Ecological Restoration<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>www.ufora.ca<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Office/fax 416-423-3387<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Cell 416-707-2164<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> CANUFNET <canufnet-bounces@list.web.net> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Hettmann, Joerg via CANUFNET<br><b>Sent:</b> August 30, 2021 12:13 PM<br><b>To:</b> canufnet@list.web.net<br><b>Cc:</b> Hettmann, Joerg <jhettmann@newmarket.ca><br><b>Subject:</b> [CANUFNET] FW: Looking for Feedback on Newmarket's New Draft Private Tree Bylaw<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>As per our earlier discussion.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>From:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> Hettmann, Joerg <br><b>Sent:</b> August 30, 2021 11:29 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'canufnet@list.web.net' <<a href="mailto:canufnet@list.web.net">canufnet@list.web.net</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Looking for Feedback on Newmarket's New Draft Private Tree Bylaw<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>The Town of Newmarket is looking to create its first Private Tree Bylaw.
