2-3-5: NEW DEVELOPMENT:
New developments requiring platting, or any request for a change in zoning, are encouraged to be evaluated for existing and future trees and their impact to the proposed development. The tree advisory board will be allowed to review all preliminary plats coming before the parks and waterways department for comment. The tree advisory committee or designee may visit the site to examine issues of tree removal, tree retention, water management and new tree plantings. The Twin Falls County tree board will develop minimum standards for the community forest based on International Society of Arboriculture ANSI300 standards, which takes into account local soil and water issues for tree planting within the community forest master plan.
