b. All proposed development projects shall be required to include a tree survey by either a
licensed Surveyor or Arborist, locating all Specimen and Historic Trees.
Rev. 06/15/09 (LandDevelopmentCode) V -29
C. Statistical tree survey information may be considered at the direction of the TRC. However,
such statistical surveys shall be limited to sites containing an overstory consisting
predominantly of trees uniform in age, species and distribution which do not contain
specimen or historic trees. Statistical surveys must be conducted in compliance with
accepted forestry practices.
d. All trees to be preserved shall be identified on site by harmlessly marking or banding.
e. All trees to be preserved shall have their natural soil level maintained. Tree wells and/or
planter islands shall be provided if necessary to maintain the natural existing soil levels. All
efforts shall be made to maintain the natural drainage of trees in the grading and drainage
plan.
f. Prior to construction, the developer shall erect protective barriers around all trees to be
preserved. These barriers shall be sufficient to prevent intrusion on that area within the drip
line of the canopy of the tree.
g. During construction, no signs, attachments or permits may be attached to any protected tree.
h. No existing or replacement trees shall be removed after a Certificate of Occupancy is issued.
21 -55.08 — Area Tree Protection Requirements
Fifteen percent (15 %) of the square footage of any development shall be designated for the
protection of trees. The area required to protect historic /specimen trees may be included to satisfy
this requirement. This required area may be constituted as one or more sub -areas within the
development. Said area may include any landscape buffer or other areas as required by the City on a
development. Such designated areas shall contain sufficient land area to comply with minimum tree
protection standards to adequately protect the trees contained within the areas. A minimum of fifty
percent (50 %) of the required minimum number of trees as provided in Section 21 -55.07 shall
consist of existing trees within said areas. The City may provide for a waiver or modification of this
requirement if the development contains an insufficient amount of existing trees to meet this
requirement or, if the City determines that modification of this requirement is warranted by specific
on -site conditions.
21- 55.09- Installation Requirements
a. Single - family and duplex lots shall have a minimum of one (1) tree per 1,500 square feet of
lot area.
b. All development projects requiring site plan approval shall contain a minimum of one (1)
tree for every 1,500 square feet of lot area.
C. If the lot contains an insufficient number of existing trees to meet these requirements,
Rev. 06/15/09 (LandDevelopmentCode) V -30
replacement trees shall be provided per Section 21- 55.02(b).
C. In the event it is impractical to install the required number of replacement trees due to lot size,
building configuration or other impediments, the Development Services Department may:
1. Allow up to a forty percent (40 %) modification in the number required as long as the
overall caliper requirements are fulfilled; or
2. Allow the required trees to be planted on City property.
e. Existing trees shall meet the definition provided in Article Il to be counted in minimum
requirements.
21 -55.10 - Enforcement
a. The Development Services Director, Building Official or designee shall issue a stop -work
order to any person found in the act of cutting down, destroying, damaging or removing trees
in violation of this Section.
b. Historic /specimen trees removed in violation of this Section shall be replaced at a ratio of 2
inches per inch of caliper lost. In lieu of physical replacement, City Council may impose a
fee of $37.00 per cross sectional square inch lost or combination thereof.
