§ These tree preservation ordinance requirements only apply to all development proposals submitted after the adoption of Ordinance

need to comply with Ordinance 585-B. (See Section 20 of Ord. 585, as amended)
♦ An alternative to the tree survey may be used in heavily wooded areas, however, a detailed tree survey may be required for smaller,
specific areas based upon the environmental sensitivity of the property being developed.
ƒSee Supplement to the Tree Preservation Ordinance -2 for information on an alternative to the tree survey.
∗ Status of the protected trees shall be based upon trees that are to be preserved, trees to be altered due to proposed improvements,
and trees that could potentially be saved based on site specific conditions. On the plan, staff recommends that green be used to
indicate trees to be preserved, red be used to indicate trees to be altered/removed, and yellow be used to indicate trees that
could potentially be saved.
Standard Approval Blocks
The required approval block will vary according to the type of plat (and in some cases the
number of lots being platted) due to the differing approval authorities. Shown below are the
