[CANUFNET] Dangerous tree bylaw

[Ian Wilson]

Hi Kim,

 

City of Kelowna has a "nuisance trees and shrubs" bylaw which deals with
hazardous trees on private property that might fall on public property.
Originally the bylaw also dealt with hazard trees that might impact on
other private properties but that didn't work very well (it got the city
in the middle of fights between neighbours).  The bylaw was changed a
few years ago so it only looks at impacts to public properties.  It
doesn't mention anything about fire hazard.  This is an old bylaw and my
department is not involved in administering the bylaw so that's about
all I can tell you about it... See link below, and then click on
"Nuisance trees and shrubs bylaw"

Subject: [CANUFNET] Dangerous tree bylaw

 

Hi all, 

I am looking for information about bylaw or other regulation guiding the
removal of trees from private property that represent a fall hazard or
fire fuel hazard. None of our bylaws seem to require anyone to remove
trees that pose a hazard to other private property or to City property.
There are lots of comments and reference to bylaws that govern the
protection of trees from being cut or damaged. 

 

Thanks for any suggestions,

Kim
