Sec. 41-13.1 Declaration of legislative intent.
(a) The council of the City and County of Honolulu desires to provide for
better environmental control in order to improve the quality of life of its
citizens by enacting protective regulations to safeguard exceptional trees within the City and
County of Honolulu. The council finds that not only are trees of value
for their beauty, but that they perform an important ecological function in that
they prevent soil erosion, purify the air, as well as retard flooding. The
council also finds that inasmuch as trees contribute to the beauty of the
island, they are an important element in achieving the objectives of the new
general plan "to protect and preserve the natural environment of Oahu" and "to
maintain the viability of Oahu's resort industry."
(b) While the council recognizes the limitations inherent in the enforcement of this article
on federal and state property, exceptional trees located on such property are included
herein, as a statement of this council's firm resolve to protect those unique
assets to our environment, wherever they might be located on Oahu. Further, it
is hoped that this statement of resolve will encourage these federal and state
officials entrusted with the care of designated exceptional trees, to take appropriate steps
for their protection.
(c) In the belief that protective regulations to safeguard exceptional trees will promote the
health, safety and general welfare of the citizens of the City and County
of Honolulu, the city council enacts this article as a means of preserving
the environmental character of the city and county within the provisions of Act
105, Session Laws of Hawaii, 1975. The terms of this article shall be
liberally construed to effectuate the purpose stated herein.

for administrative purposes and the director shall cause employees of the director's office

(d) To review all actions deemed by the city council to endanger exceptional trees.

Sec. 41-13.5 Procedures.
(a) Any citizen or citizen group may petition the arborist advisory committee to examine
a particular tree or grove of trees for the purpose of having it
recommended to the city council for designation as an exceptional tree.
(b) The arborist advisory committee, on at least an annual basis, shall reexamine the
exceptional trees and in the event such tree is found to be dangerous
or diseased beyond repair, the council, upon recommendation from the committee, may remove
such tree from the register.
(c) Upon designation by the council of an exceptional tree, the city clerk shall
notify the property owner and/or the occupant of the property by registered mail
that such a designation has been made.
