STRECODE Page 2 <br /> 7. All development should be required to provide for street trees. This would include any and all public street right of ways and include all <br /> subdivisions, multi-family, industrial, commercial, major and minor partitions, site reviews, CUP and PUDs etc. Street tree requirements are for <br /> public street right of ways not for private streets. Private street landscaping, "street trees ", would be part of the approved landscape plan and not <br /> a separate street tree plan as we would have on public streets. The list would be available for the design of the trees along private streets but not <br /> be reviewed or approved by the Urban Forester. Partitions would paid the fees at the time of final plat approval. The trees would be planted after <br /> the lots develop. <br /> 8. We could give the developer the option of planting and establishing the street trees. The main problem with this approach is that there are no <br /> hooks to assure that the approved trees are planted in approved locations, that the trees will receive adequate water for the three year <br /> establishment period or that after two or three years the dead trees are replaced and then watered and established for another three years. This <br /> could drag out the process for the developer and what hooks can we put in place to assure compliance? Given the inherent problems, 1 would not <br /> recommend this option unless we can get a security deposit and then what's the difference to the developer. It will still cost more for him to <br /> develop. <br /> 9. The spacing for the trees is on an average of 30' between trees. There may be instances where we want more distance between trees but for <br /> the most part 30' will work. <br />
