street trees

According to the Melrose HOA Deed Restrictions, which include all sections such as Invernsee at Melrose, each subdivision lot is required to have one or more street trees. The homeowner tree responsibilities include caring for and, if necessary, replacing these trees at the lot owner's expense with a similar type of tree. 

This deed restriction aims to ensure an aesthetically pleasing environment throughout the neighborhood, enhancing curb appeal for each lot. 

Currently, the Melrose Board of Trustees takes a 'relaxed' approach to enforcing this restriction; however, it remains the homeowners' neighborly duty to uphold this obligation. 

It’s important to note that Melrose street trees are situated in the Right-Of-Way and are thus maintained by a governmental entity. For the best solution regarding tree replacement, homeowners should contact the City of Pickerington to request a Pickerington tree replacement. The City is accommodating and will replace the tree at no cost to the homeowner.
