GLENDALE, Calif.—The city of Glendale has rescinded a $347,600 fine imposed on a couple who pruned 13 trees around their home.
The FIRE DEPARTMENT suggested Michael and Ann Collard get the trees trimmed and the couple agreed.
But trimming the trees violated the city's indigenous tree law, which protects oaks, sycamores and bay laurels that are native to the area. Hefty fines were imposed because developers had been cutting down trees.
The city decided to back off after rancorous City Council meetings and talk radio ridicule in recent weeks. City Attorney Scott Howard says the city isn't seeking any civil or criminal penalties.
