Terry, = Where J.K. lives, they have VERY explicit laws in Bellaire (or was it o= ne of the other tiny towns next to there?) that describe in exact detail not = only what tree species you may plant in your yard, but if they are OVER a ce= rtain dbh (Diameter at Breast Height) which trees you may cut down! Can you imagine being fined for cutting down one of your own trees?!?!?! And th= at's City law, not HOA regs. Read this link:http://txforestservice.tamu.edu/news...ber/texas_com= munity_2000/trees_for_bellaire.htm = Bellaire is a community of 14,000 residents covering 3.5 square miles, bisected by Loop 610, and surrounded by urban Houston. Primarily developed after World War Two, Bellaire currently enjoys residential and commercial redevelopment, with much larger homes replacing smaller post-War homes. Many mature trees throughout the City have been lost due to the larger footprints of the new homes, as well as carelessness in lot clearing and construction storage. Trees for Bellaire was created by a group of residents concerned about the threat to our beautiful tree canopy. In 1999, Trees for Bellaire, a group of residents committed to the protection and enhancement of the urban tree canopy in the City of Bellaire, developed and won City Council approval for a Tree Protection Ordinance. This ordinance provides for the protection of trees during construction, the replacement of trees removed due to construction, and the planting of trees on commercial and institutional property. In 1998 and again 1999, Trees for Bellaire also sponsored Annual Tree Campaigns, offering Bellaire property owners a discount on the purchase and planting of five varieties of trees in three popular sizes. For every ten trees sold, the cost of one tree was donated to the City for the purchase and planting of trees on public property. This popular and innovative program has resulted in the sales of more than $60,000 and donations to the City of more than $5,700 over the two-year period. Trees for Bellaire is an example of how even a small number of people can have a major impact on their community. Their Ordinance is working, their Annual Tree Campaign continues, and they plan an educational conference on tree protection for builders and residents in Bellaire. Congratulations to Trees for Bellaire on their award of excellence. rest deleted -- = J.
