The applicant for a permit to plant trees in the right of way of a public street shall show in his application the exact location of and the kind of tree to be planted. No change shall be made in either location of trees or in kind of trees without the approval of the city engineer.
The city engineer may refuse to issue a permit authorizing the planting of trees in the right of way of a public street when, in his judgment, the location as described in the application, or the nature of growth above or below ground of the kind of tree proposed, will impede or inconvenience travel on a public highway or unduly disturb the right of way thereof, or in any way impede construction or maintenance of necessary facilities. (Ord. 994, 5-26-1970)
