No permit for planting trees, plants or shrubs shall be given where the clear space between the sidewalk and curb is less than three feet, neither shall a permit be given where the soil is too poor to insure the growth of the tree, plant or shrub, unless the applicant agrees to excavate a hole of not less than five feet in diameter and two and one-half feet deep and to replace the material removed with suitable good loam.
