If a tree is felled without a permit, the responsible person may still seek a tree felling permit from the City Manager by filing an application as described in R-6.305-D and R-6.305-E. If the City Manager determines that a tree felling permit would have been granted if the responsible person had filed a complete application prior to felling the tree( s) in question, the City Manager may issue a permit in the following circumstances and subject to the following conditions: (a) The application is accompanied by the fee described in R-6.305-G.6; (b) The tree felling was not one for which public notice and comment were required under R-6.305-D; (c) The responsible person has already complied with or agrees to comply with all conditions imposed by the permit; and (d) The City Manager determines that the responsible person's failure to apply for a tree felling permit prior to felling the tree was not a knowing attempt to evade the requirements ofEC 6.305 to 6.330 or these rules.
