(a) The number, size, species and location of the street trees planted in subdivisions developed after the effective date of this Code shall be in accordance with a plan approved, mutually, by the City Administrator and the developer.
(b) The Zoning Inspector shall not grant a zoning permit to a subdivider until a street tree plan has been approved and an escrow account established or surety bond deposited in an amount equal to the cost of the trees and the planting of the same as shall be determined by the City Administrator to insure compliance with this chapter and the regulations adopted hereunder.
(c) In the alternative, a subdivider may request the City Administrator to let the work required to satisfy the street tree plan on public bid. In the event the accepted bid exceeds the escrowed account or surety bond, the subdivider shall increase or be reimbursed the amount of the difference.
(d) The subdivider shall complete the street tree plan within two years from the date of the issuance of the zoning permit. Failure to do so shall be construed to be a default and the escrow account or surety bond shall be deemed to be forfeited. Funds derived as a result of the forfeiture shall be expended by the City Administrator to implement the street tree plan for the project for which it was originally intended.
