935.03 CONSTRUCTION SITES.

   (a)   A developer of an unimproved lot may remove all trees within the area of actual construction. In a U1 A1 or U1 A2 District, the developer shall submit a photograph of the lot to be developed taken from the street and such other photographs or drawings as may be required to display the trees on the site. A site plan submitted with the building plans shall locate each of the trees referred to in Section 935.02. The Architectural Board of Review may approve the removal of all trees within the area of actual construction but shall attempt, where possible, to preserve trees and may require the submitted plans to be adjusted for that purpose.

   (b)   All final site development plans for developments within districts other than U1 A1 and U1 A2 shall include an aerial photograph or drawing displaying the existing trees on the development site. All trees referred to in Section 935.02 shall be located on the site plan and the applicant shall indicate those trees which the applicant requests permission to remove. The Planning and Zoning Commission may require an adjustment to the site development plan to prevent the unnecessary destruction of trees. No such tree may be removed during construction or thereafter outside of the area of actual construction, unless the tree constitutes a nuisance by reason of disease or injury, without the permission of the Planning and Zoning Commission.
