§ 522.14 COMPLIANCE AND APPEAL.

• If any property owner fails to comply with a notice or order of the Village to trim or remove a tree on private property or public right-of-way, as provided herein, the Village shall cause such tree to be removed or trimmed and the cost shall be assessed against the real estate of the property owner or the property owner abutting public right-of-way. Section 727.01, and 723.01, Revised Code
• Any person directly affected by a decision, notice or order issued under this code shall have the right to appeal. This will be to the Village Council Service Committee in conciliation with the Village Tree Advisory Board, provided that a written application for appeal is filed within 15 days from the date of the decision, notice or order.  An application for appeal shall be based on a claim that the true intent of this code or the rules legally adopted there under have been incorrectly interpreted, the provisions of this code do not fully apply, or the requirements of this code are adequately satisfied by other means. Appeals heard by the Village Council Service Committee shall be submitted on forms provided by the Village.
• In either of the above situations, the Village shall send a written notice to the property owner indicating the required action (pruning or removal) to be taken. A period of 30 days from date of this notice shall be permitted for the property owner to affect the indicated action. Should the property owner or occupant fail to comply, it shall be lawful for the Village to enter upon the property and cause such action. The property owner or occupant shall be charged the actual cost of the work plus administrative fee and payment shall be made within 30 days or the actual cost of the work plus administrative fee shall be assessed to the property taxes.
