§ 40-270. Street trees.

(a)

The planting of street trees is considered the duty of the subdivider as well as good business practice. Street trees protect against excessive heat and glare and enhance the attractiveness and value of abutting property. The planning commission will assist the subdivider in the location of trees and species to use under varying conditions.

(b)

It is recommended that trees be planted inside the property lines. Here they are subject to less injury, less likely to cause motor accidents and enjoy more favorable conditions for growth. If trees are to be planted within a planting strip in the right-of-way, their proposed locations and species to be used must be submitted for the planning commission's approval since the public inherits the care and maintenance of such trees.
