It is recommended that street trees be planted in all subdivisions. The planting of street trees is considered a responsibility of the subdivider, as well as good business practice. Street trees are a protection against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of the property. The Planning Board will assist the subdivider in the location of trees and identification of species to use under varying conditions. Trees should be planted inside the property lines where they are less subject to injury, decrease the chance of motor accidents and enjoy more favorable conditions for growth. Trees initially found on a building lot by the developer or owner shall not be harmed, except for those on the immediate building site and driveway area, or unless the new owner of the lot specifies in writing the removal of all or part of the trees.
