I want to remove trees.

On a lot survey mark location of ALL trees noting the ones you wish to remove and why. Also, lightly shade all areas of property left 'undisturbed' to show compliance with our 20% undisturbed natural vegetation per Article V, Section 1. (p) of the C & R's.

Using your digital camera, take a full size picture of your marked up lot survey and load it to your computer.

Select your lot survey picture to send (jpg/gif)(5MB max size) :

NOTES:
1. Resident is required to obtain all Voorhees Township, state, and any other necessary permits. Call 429-0647
2. Applications cannot be processed unless residents are current in their Association Dues
3. Residents should be advised that if an architectural matter must be referred to the Association attorney, the attorney's costs will become the financial responsibility of the homeowner.

Emergency Tree Removal Procedure
NOTE: This portion applies to actual emergencies where a tree has fallen or is in imminent danger of falling. Such cases are rare, and this is not intended to circumvent or substitute for the normal tree removal application process. IF a tree has fallen or is in immediate danger of falling, first take emergency action to protect people and property. 

  Additional steps to complete:
1. Take photos of the tree(s) in imminent danger of falling, or have fallen
2. Contact your tree removal company to begin setting up an appointment
3. Email the Trustees asap to send an alert that an emergency application has been entered at trustees@sturbridgelakes.com
4. Complete this online Tree Removal Application. Please be sure to clearly state that this is an emergency/urgent
5. The SLA ARC team will review and contact you as soon as possible concerning the emergency tree removal
6. Replanting and other requirements from the SLA By-Laws may still apply. Any replanting or other requirements will be evaluated using the standard ARC process, after the emergent situation is addressed. Additional information will be communicated to the resident.

After you submit your request, you will receive a confirmation email and your request will appear in the architectural approvals list at:
