Appropriate treatment shall be given to encourage the preservation of existing views, wooded areas, creeks and other attractive natural features of the plat.

Where the established limits of clearing run through a tree of nine (9) inches or more diameter at breast height (DBH), the fencing shall circle the tree no closer than six (6) feet from the trunk or other methods approved by the Building Commissioner. The applicant shall be responsible for maintenance of the fencing at all times.
