Thanks Andrew.
The work will hopefully be done this spring, ideally before full leaf out, so within 6 months max.
Let me know what the fee is and I’ll get a transfer sorted.
Best,

Thanks, Ian. I’ll get to work on creating the permit. As a heads up there will be a fee for the RVMP like last time. Do you
have an estimated timeframe of when work would begin/how long it would take?

Hi Ian,
This would require an RVMP and a Critical Areas Exemption, same as the last time. Even though no trees are being
removed, pruning of dangerous/high-risk trees within the shoreline requires an RVMP. Could you also provide an
additional sentence or two about how the pruning will mitigate a potential high-risk tree situation? I need this for the
permit analysis.
Thank you.

Good morning Andrew,
I am revisiting the maintenance needed on the cottonwoods along the Cedar River next to Liberty Park. There won’t be a
need to remove any trees but a modicum of pruning will be required to mitigate some the risks of future whole tree
failure. Could you help process a further critical area or shoreline exemption on the basis of the information provided?
As I say, this will be pruning only and all debris will be kept out of the river.
Thanks!
