The purpose of this subchapter is to identify trees and woodlots which are to be preserved in general and saved when development is occurring or at any point thereafter. It is the city’s goal to ensure that development is compatible with the natural environment and is accommodated without destroying desirable environmental features and natural amenities. It is not the city’s intent, however, to preserve significant trees or woodlots where substandard subdivision design, poor drainage, excess slope in streets and driveways or inefficient utility construction would result.
