Although not required by these Regulations, the planting of street trees is considered a duty of the subdivider as well as good business practices.
(a) Street trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting property. The Planning Commission will assist the subdivider in location of trees and species to be used under varying conditions.
(b) It is recommended that trees be planted inside the property lines where they are less subject to injury, decrease the chance of motor accidents and enjoy more favorable conditions for growth. If trees are to be planted within a planting strip in the right of way, their proposed locations and species to be used must be submitted for the Planning Commission's approval since the public inherits the care and maintenance of such trees.
