After cutting started and stopped in September following a cease-and-desist order from the city, felling of trees resumed on the private property owned by Tochal Developments on Monday.
The city confirmed Tuesday the original cease-and-desist order was given because the developer did not have a permit to remove the trees.
That has since changed.
“The city issued a Development Permit to allow tree removal on these lands on October 18, 2024,” a city spokesperson said in a statement.
“As a result of the permit being issued, the cease-and-desist order was cancelled at that time.”
Planner John Wintrup has represented Tochal during this situation and said this work has been a long time coming.
