(A) The Tree Advisory Board shall prepare and recommend, and the City Council shall adopt by resolution, a comprehensive plan for the planting and maintaining of trees within public streets of the city, which plan shall be designated as the Comprehensive Street Tree Plan. The Plan shall include those public streets identified under § 96.02 which, in the Board's judgement, bear a relationship to the purposes of this chapter. The Plan shall be so prepared that all appropriate public streets may be included in the Plan. The Plan shall consist of a written statement, maps, and detailed designs as may be appropriate, setting forth or depicting the following:
(1) The specific types of trees to be planted and maintained, including their desirable spacing and location;
(2) The identification of those existing trees which should be retained; and
(3) The identification of those trees which may constitute a hazard of public nuisance, and which may require substantial maintenance or removal.
(B) In preparing initial and subsequent versions of the Comprehensive Street Tree Plan, the Board and City Council may limit the Plan's content to only that information required under division (A) of this section. It is the intent of this section that the Plan shall be developed gradually in recognition of the practical problems associated with fulfilling all requirements of this section within any specified period of time.
