Q: We heard
a tree fall in the greenbelt behind us early this morning. This is
the second in eight months. Fortunately it seemed to have fallen
inward away from any of the homes. What is the protocol for checking
the health of the trees? I am concerned about if these trees were
to fall on one of our homes. I was under the understanding the HOA
is responsible for maintenance of all property outside of our
property lines.
A:
CR Board:
The good news is that many residents enjoy the privacy and the
potential value the green belt offers.
The bad news is the trees can't
be counted on to stay standing. While the HOA pays property taxes
on the green belt property, the HOA does not maintain the green
belt. This is especially true for the trees. The City of Puyallup
has jurisdiction over the trees in the greenbelt and homeowners that
wish to trim, prune or remove these trees must obtain permission
from the City.
Puyallup Council member:
I saw the tree health conversation on the FB page. Chris Beale in
the city's planning department is a verified arborist. His
number is 848-5418 or cbeale@ci.puyallup.wa.us. He may have some
ideas or resources.
