April 11, 2023
131/23
The purpose of this policy is to provide clear direction regarding the planting of trees and large shrubs within
boulevard spaces in Kneehill County Hamlets.
Definitions•
"Boulevard" is defined as that portion of the public roadway lying between the curb line of the roadway and
the adjacent property line, excepting that portion occupied by a sidewalk, or where there is no curb that
portion of the public roadway lying between the portion of the roadway ordinarily traveled by vehicles and the
adjacent property line, excepting that portion occupied by a sidewalk.
Policy Guidelines:
1. No person shall be allowed to plant tree(s) in Kneehill County boulevards within any of the Hamlets
without written approval of the County.
2. Trees currently existing within a boulevard may remain until such time as they become a nuisance to
the operations and maintenance of the right of way, at which time they may be removed by Kneehill
County.
3. Prior to removal of any trees within boulevards, Kneehill County will provide notification to the
adjacent landowners informing of the removal.
