street trees

Per the Melrose HOA Deed Restrictions (all sections including Invernsee at Melrose) one or more street trees are required per subdivision lot (pending specified section).  The homeowner shall care for and, if necessary, replace such tree or trees at the lot owners expense with a like type of tree.

The purpose of this deed restriction is to create an aesthetically pleasing approach throughout the neighborhood, creating a beautified view to the curb appeal of a lot.

The Melrose Board of Trustees currently has a 'relaxed' approach to enforcing this restriction, although it is homeowners neighborly duty to keep this restriction fulfilled.  

Street trees are located in the Right-Of-Way & subject to maintenance of a governmental entity.  The best resolution for tree replacement is to contact  the City of Pickerington & request a tree replacement.  The City is accomodating & will replace the tree at no cost to you.
