VIII. - HISTORIC TREES


Latest version.
  • In addition to the protection offered our trees through the City of Rockwall tree preservation ordinance, individual trees located on an historic property which are considered historic landmarks in our community may be registered as "historic trees." The registry application in exhibit 1 [attached to the ordinance from which this appendix is derived] should be completed and submitted to the historic preservation officer to forward to the board chairman.

    A registered tree will not be removed under any circumstances unless the tree becomes unhealthy or damaged. The "historic trees" will be listed within an appendix C to be attached to these guidelines.
