at least 1” caliper must be planted on the property. When more than three trees
are required for replacement, a variety of shade trees selected from the Planning
Board’s tree planting listCity’s Tree List and Planting Guidelines must be selected. The
Planning Board may waive the total number of required trees to be planted on site if it
finds that it is infeasible to replace all removed trees on site and when:
1. At least one 1” tree is planted on site; and
2. It is shown that even alternative ornamental trees could not be planted; and
3. Planting and spacing requirements for the replacement trees would be hindered
by constraints of the lot in combination with the planned useable space of the lot;
and
4. The remainder of the required 1" trees, in consultation with the City's Tree
Warden, are planted on public property, with preference given to the public right-
of-way as close to the site as feasible.
