The Franklin Township Shade Tree Replacement Ordinance, Chapter 222-5.3.B states, “If placement of all replacement trees on the removal site plan proves to be impractical, in lieu of replanting trees on the removal site, the applicant shall have the option of planting replacement trees of types selected by the Shade Tree Commission (STC) from the approved list of trees as established by it at an off-site location chosen by the Township in consultation with the STC. Such off-site locations shall be public property and rights-of-way, including but not limited to public parks, public schools, and public buildings.”
In the Franklin Reporter & Advocate’s June 8, 2023, article, Vince Dominach, the Township’s Director of Economic Development, is quoted as saying “there is a way that the Council could allow the money to be used to the proposed purpose.”
