If you have a tree on your property that you want to remove, you need to contact the HOA, Ron Byrd and the City of Charleston for approval. This includes trees that may be a threat to your property. Please take a look at Section 7.14 of the Mt. Royall & Harrington Place Covenants and Restrictions that addresses tree removal.
Section 7.14. Tree Removal. No trees or bushes of any kind having a diameter of six (6") inches or more (measured from a point two (2') feet above the ground level) shall be removed from any Lot without the express written authorization of the Architectural Control Committee. All Lots and Common Areas shall be subject to the Tree Protection Requirements of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Charleston. Authorization by The Architectural Control Committee shall not exempt an Owner from compliance with the Tree Protection Ordinance of the City of Charleston.
If the tree
is on city property, contact Danny Burbage of the Forestry
Division of the City of
Charleston at 724-7416.
If the tree is in a wetland area
it may be the responsibility
of another department but Danny Burbage can still help
determine who to call.
If the tree is on your own property
, contact the HOA and a Tree Removal Service.
If
the tree is on HOA property, contact Debbie Inman of Capital
Group at Ph. 529-9690.
FAX 529-9756.
