(a) After meeting informally with the Shade Tree Commission, the developer shall cause to be prepared a tree planting plan for the site, which shall include:
(1) The present location and size of all major trees, with a designation of major trees sought to be removed.
(2) The location, size, and description of trees proposed to be placed on the plat in order to comply with this chapter.
(b) The Planning Commission shall either approve or disapprove all new subdivision tree planting plans within thirty days of their filing.
(c) No variance, zoning certificate, conditional use permit, or final subdivision plat approval by the Planning Commission shall be granted or issued until the new subdivision tree planting plan has been approved.
(d) Bonding. Depending upon conditions relating to the season of the year, the size of the proposed development, the complexity of the tree planting plan, and the developers time schedule, the City reserves the right to require a performance bond equal to the approximate cost of tree planting to assure that all required improvements shall be completed within two years of the acceptance of the final subdivision plat by the City.
