12-4-3: PRIOR DESTRUCTION OR REMOVAL:
If during the course of the review of an application for an annexation to or a development within the Village, it shall be determined that mature trees, or mature or young woodlands, have been cut or relocated from the site prior to the application for an annexation or a development, the net result of which would be to frustrate or interfere with the application of a site capacity analysis required under Section 10-5-3 of this Code, then, in that event, the Village shall treat the annexation or development as if the trees were still existing on the site, and require all appropriate site capacity calculations to be so applied. In addition, as a condition of approval of the annexation or development, the Village shall require that the developer replenish the site with like species which aggregate to the full sum of the diameter of the trees which have been removed. (Ord. 97-473, 4-1-1997)
