IV- S -8 -c -1 *Amended As a requirement of subdivision approval, the subdivider 3 -24 -87 shalt plant .trees along the frontage of both sides of all existing and proposed streets to the subdivision. In calculating the number of trees required per lot frontage, tree types have been assigned a value In linear feet based on the average mature canopy spread. The values are forty (40) feet for large, deciduous trees and twenty -five (25) feet for small trees. Each lot, Including approved recreation /open space areas, must have at least one (1) large tree per street frontage (value of 40 feet). The number of trees to be planted on the remaining frontage (total frontage less value for one large tree) is determined by dividing the remaining frontage by the value(s) assigned to tree types selected for planting by the subdivider. For example, the number of trees required on a lot having a frontage of 130 feet would be calculated as follows: TOTAL LOT FRONTAGE 130 feet LEESi Fc 40 feet EQUALS: REMAINING LOT FRONTAGE �90 feet 90 feet divided by 25 feet (value for small tree) = 3.6 or 4 trees. Required number of trees = 4 small trees + 1 required large tree. 90 feet divided by 40 feet (value for large tree) = 2.3 or 2 trees. -50-
