When will people in this state wake up and realize that we don't live in the USSR. People in this state have forgotten what the terms private property and ownership mean. A $10,000 fine for removing a tree in insane on your own private property.

If we are going to have a tree ordinance, then we should have meaningful fines for violating it. A $500 fine per tree is inconsequential to someone developing a multi-million dollar home. It makes it easier to pay the fine then to seek a permit a risk delaying your project.
