The regulations of this article are intended to preserve trees along the outer perimeter of undeveloped properties until such time as a site plan, subdivision plan or other authorized development plan or permit is approved for the property. Such regulations will help to ensure that trees along the perimeter of undeveloped property are not removed or disturbed prior to consideration of an actual plan for development of the property. By doing so, the owner or developer of property will have the opportunity to consider and evaluate the advantages of retaining existing trees during development and to utilize the credits provided for retaining existing trees pursuant to applicable regulations governing the development of the property.
