(A)
Street trees are not permitted to be planted as new plantings where they will interfere with or cause damage to city streets, sidewalks, curbs, or any public utilities. Street trees may be planted in an area with a minimum planting square footage space of four feet in width by four feet in length, and with the written approval of the Tree Board.
(B) All persons seeking to plant a street tree, as a new planting, or to replace a pre-existing street tree, must file an application to the Tree Board describing the species to be planted, the proposed location, including proximity to any street, sidewalk, curb, or public utility.
(C) The Tree Board shall formulate an official street tree species list for the City of Southgate, that will specify the types of plantings that may be permitted as street trees. This list shall be maintained at the office of the City Clerk, and may be updated from time to time if appropriate, by the Tree Board. No species other than those on said list may be planted as street trees.
