<br /> property owner is continually responsible for maintaining the crosion control subject to City and <br /> RCWD standards. <br />. Publicly owned Land vs. Public Right.afway: Understandably, there has been a concern about <br /> the trees removed from the right.of-way. Publicly owned land is not quite the same thing as <br /> pubJie right-of-way. If somcone would remove trees from publiely owncd land, sueh as a City <br /> park, it would be an entirely different tY]Je of violation that may involve trespassing, property <br /> damage, ctc. However, public rights-of-way are dedicated to the City or County for particular <br /> tY]Jcs of uses such as transportation, utilities, and drainage. While many people placc a valuc on <br /> trees no matter where they arc locatcd, the trees in public rights-of-way do not always have a <br /> monetary value that can be recouped if they are removed. In fact, the City prohibits people from <br /> placing landscaping in the publie right.of.way in most circumstances. Therefore, the City and <br /> the County would probably not have a basis for legal action on the trees that were removed from <br /> the public right-of.way in this particular situation. Landscaping put in placc by thc City or <br /> County is treated differently. <br />. <br /> City ojArden Hills <br />.
