Plant material centers shall not be located closer than three (3) feet from the fence <br />line or property line and shall not be planted to conflict with public plantings based <br />on the judgement of the Zoning Administrator. <br />2. Where plant materials are planted in two or more rows, plantings shall be <br />staggered in rows unless otherwise approved by the Zoning Administrator. <br />3.

Trees over six (6) inches in diameter <br />that are to remain, are to be marked with a red band, and to be protected with snow <br />fences or other suitable enclosure, prior to any excavation. The City may further <br />require that the developer retain a professional forester to prepare forest inventory <br />and management plan for the development, in order to control and abate any existing <br />or potential loss.
