The only thing the owner of that property is going to have to deal with is a stump.

Shore Land Protection has nothing on a tree that presents a hazard to the owners or someone else property. You don't need to wait for a permit.

Even if this was your next door neighbors tree, on their land at the roots and it was leaning over the property line toward your house or outbuilding. You can cut that tree down as is presents a hazard to your property. You do not even need to ask your neighbor first, that would not make for a good relationship with that person, but you could do it that way.

The reason it is taking so long is that the state is involved and they more than likely trying to determine the best course to remove it.

Yankee, I agree with most of what you post, but I believe you are reading to deeply into this one.
