Clear delineation, for each protected tree, of whether the tree will be preserved after the proposed
development is constructed, altered due to proposed improvements, or could potentially be saved based
upon site specific conditions
Stream/Creek buffers, if any
Detailed site plan of all proposed improvements. (All proposed improvements shall be required to be

Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing tree cover in accordance
with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the property has previously received a tree
permit related to development, the percentage of existing tree cover at the time the first such permit was
issued shall be used to calculate the minimum existing tree cover that must be preserved under this
section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on the entire site Minimum percentage of the existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%

Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction of the
development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved on the approved
Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and the zoning as approved by
the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all structures, easements, utilities, structures
grading, and any other structure proposed to be constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to
be preserved.
