Each <br /> lot, including approved recreation/open spaCe areas, <br /> must have at least one ( 1 ) large tree per street <br /> frontage (value of 40 feet) . The number of trees to be <br /> planted on the remaining frontage (total frontage less <br /> value for one large tree) is determined by dividing the <br /> remaining frontage by the value( s) assigned to tree <br /> types selected for planting by the subdivider. <br /> For example, the number of trees required on a lot <br /> having a frontage of 130 feet would be calculated as <br /> fol lows: <br /> TOTAL LOT FRONTAGE 130 feet <br /> LESS : VALUE/REOPIIRED LARGE TREE 40 feet <br /> EQUALS: REMAINING LOT FRONTAGE 90 feet <br /> Option 11 : ALL SMALL TREES <br /> 90 feet divided by 25 feet (value for small <br /> tree) = 3.6 or 4 trees. <br /> Required number of trees = 4 small trees + 1 <br /> required large tree. <br /> 90 feet divided by 40 feet ( value for large <br /> tree) = 2.3 or 2 trees. <br /> -50- <br />
