Subject: Glendale’s
Indigenous Tree Ordinance
Glendale
has an Indigenous Tree Ordinance that has resulted in a number of Glendale
property owners being served with fines of up to $347,600 for trimming the
trees on their property.
You can find all of
the information on this subject posted on the following web pages of the Open Government (???) in
Glendale California web site:
(http://www.opengovernmentinglendalecalifornia.org/)
To understand the
problem, click on the following links on that site:
Please answer the following questions:
1. In light
of the above, is it incumbent upon a property owner listing a property
containing indigenous trees to inform prospective buyers of the Glendale
Indigenous Tree Ordinance?
2. If the
listing property owner does not inform prospective buyers of the Glendale
Indigenous Tree Ordinance, does the listing sales person and/or broker have a
fiduciary responsibility to do so?
Thank
you:
