(A) Shade trees shall be installed on both sides of all streets in accordance with the approved landscape plan. Subdivisions planned for wooded sites will not need shade trees planted along roadways. When trees are planted at predetermined intervals along streets, spacing shall depend tree size at maturity as follows in Table 10 below:
Table 10: Spacing Between Shade Trees | |
Growth Diameter (Feet) | Planting Interval (Feet) |
Large trees (40+) | 50 - 70 |
Medium trees (30 - 40) | 40 - 50 |
Small trees (to 30) | 30 - 40 |
(B) When the spacing interval exceeds 40 feet, small ornamental trees can be placed between the larger trees. If a street canopy effect is desired, trees may be planted closer together, following the recommendations of a registered landscape architect, or an ODNR urban forester. Tree plantings shall be coordinated with utilities, roadways, sidewalks, sight easements or streetlights. Tree location, landscaping design and tree spacing shall be approved by the Commission as part of the landscape plan.
