Appeais of staff determinations as to type, size and quality of the trees to be <br /> replaced will be to the council. Removal of trees that are dead shall not require a permit, <br /> but such trees must be inspected by city staff prior to their removal. <br /> (b) Intensive vegetation clearing within 75 feet of the shoreline, on steep slopes or within the <br /> bluff impact zone within the Shoreland Overiay District is prohibited. Limited clearing of <br /> shrubs and trees less than six inches in diameter and cutting, pruning and trimming of <br /> trees of any size is allowed to provide a view to the water from the principal dwelling site <br /> and to accommodate the placement of permitted stairways and landings, picnic areas, <br /> access paths, beach and watercraft access areas, and permitted lockboxes, provided <br /> that the screening of structures, vehicles or other facilities as viewed from the water, <br /> assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, is not substantially reduced. <br /> (Ord.
