Tree maintenance work in the urban area - summer 2013 (III. quarter - supplement)
The ongoing tree inspections and the results of the current expert report have shown that the trees listed in the attached overview require tree care work (pruning and felling) to ensure road safety in the city of Chemnitz.
Without exception, all of the upcoming works are urgent measures that serve to maintain or establish road safety. The felling and pruning measures on the list will only be carried out in the third quarter of 2013 (see also the previously published PM 412 dated 26 June 2013).
All woodland maintenance measures in terms of the duty to maintain road safety are legally permissible and do not constitute an offence under §39 BNatSchG or §25 SächsNatSchg.
Please refer to the attachment for the specific felling and pruning measures. Wherever space permits, the City of Chemnitz/Green Spaces Office will arrange for replanting.
