Minimize and mitigate tree damage, in accordance with the forestry manual and any permit c di S. conditions. (b) Development, pre- development, etc. For development or pre-development activity, this chapter and the forestry manual generally require a tree survey before issuance of a permit, and they impose protective measures (e.g., tree fencing). All issuing officials may insert special 3 x.t,t ` conditions to carry out this chapter into any permit for development or pre-development activity. rt~~;tl~~ i• _i; Urban Forest Ordinance Update: Sec. 82.4. Tree permits Draft 12-3--07 Current Proposed o g Sec. 82.4. Tree permits. (a) When required.

Trees interfering with a lawful building, existing or proposed, but only if, based upon a detailed presentation of alternatives, the urban forester determines that there is no reasonable alternative that would avoid removing or damaging the tree. Interfering with other structure. Trees interfering with a lawful non-building structure, existing or proposed, but only if the BSC issues a special exception after finding that: (i) the circumstances are unique or exceptional; (ii) the interference is serious, unavoidable and likely to persist longer than one year, and (iii) there is no reasonable and feasible alternative that would preserve the tree. Upgrading. Class III or IV trees, but only if the urban forester considers all trees in or near the affected area and 1 determines that removal will upgrade the urban forest, because, e.g.: (i) removal would end suppression of a higher-valued tree, or (ii) the permit requires one or more higher-value replacement trees in the affected area. (d) Advice, conditions. The urban forester shall advise the building official and BSC about applications and permits. They may insert permit conditions to carry out this chapter. (e) Issuance; BSC.

Replacement trees. Sec. 82-5. Replacement trees, generally. (a) Number of replacement trees . Tree disposition (a) When required.

To the extent on-site trees. The permittee shall plant replacement trees in the affected replacement is not feasible, the permittee may choose to: area of the tree permit. However, to the extent that the urban (1) Plant and maintain off-site replacement trees forester determines that it is not feasible (or not desirable) to within 1,000-feet of the subject site, subject to the plant in the affected area, the urban forester may allow the provisions of the criteria manual; ermittee to replace trees b lasted in order o (2) Provide a replacement-inch certificate from a tree planting in a street area within 1,000 feet of the affected area,(ii) trust or the UFEF, as provided in this section and the planting in a street-side yard within 1,000 feet of the affected criteria manual; or area, with the consent of the yard owner, or (iii) providing (3) Provide replacement inches by some combination replacement commitments through a tree trust or the UFEF. of the foregoing methods.

Example: If 24 replacement inches are required, there must be at least two replacement trees with a trunk diameter of four inches or more. The urban forester may prescribe proportionally smaller trunk diameters for species of trees typically smaller than normal. (c) Qualified trees under zoning ordinance. To be a "qualified tree" under the zoning ordinance, a tree must comply with the definition of "qualified tree" set out in section 82-2. (d) Standard of review . The urban forester shall use reasonable best efforts to determine the type and number of replacement trees required in an attempt to minimize any undue burden resulting from this chapter. (e) Trees in street areas . Before authorizing the establishment or maintenance of a tree or decorative landscaping (or any related appurtenances such as lighting or a watering system) in a street area, the building official must: (1) Be satisfied that V.T.C.A., Transportation Code ch. 316 has been complied with; and (2) Determine there would be no violation of the provisions of this chapter relating to visibility triangles. The building official is designated by the city council to make the determinations contemplated by V.T.C.A., Transportation Code § 316.003. (f) Replacement inch certificates . If a tree trust or the UFEF issues an effective "replacement inch" certificate to the city, as provided in the criteria manual, the "replacement inches" described in the certificate are treated the same as replacement tree inches actually planted as of the date of the certificate. (g) Replacement inch credits. An owner of a site in the city who plants a class I or class II tree on that site is eligible to receive a credit for future "replacement inches." The owner may use the credit to offset the number of "replacement inches" assessed for protected trees removed from the same site at any time in the future. Credits are subject to the following: (1) Issuance . Credits are only available for trees registered with the urban forester within 30 days following the day they are planted. Registration requires application and proof of planting. The registration form shall specify the size and species of each tree planted and its location on the site. (2) Measurement . The number of replacement inches actually credited is determined by the urban forester at the time an offset in requested, based on the health and size of the previously-registered trees and applying the provisions of the criteria manual regarding calculation of replacement inches. (3) Transferability . Credits are not transferable to another site but may be claimed by subsequent owners of the same site. (4) Records . The city is not responsible for keeping registration or other records of credits. A person claiming a credit must present documents to show that the credit is available and applicable. (h) Urban Forest Enhancement Fund . The urban forest enhancement fund (UFEF) of the city is hereby established. The UFEF is subject to all restrictions on public funds and other funds of the city, including the requirement for annual budgeting. However, money in the UFEF may only be budgeted and spent for the following purposes: (1) Purchasing, planting or otherwise providing trees in public spaces in the city; (2) Maintaining or otherwise enhancing trees in public spaces in the city; or (3) Matters necessary or incidental to the above. Deposits may be made into the UFEF by gift or other transfer. The director of finance is authorized to accept such deposits on behalf of the city and to issue: (1) Acknowledgments in the name of the city; and (2) "Replacement inch" certificates as provided in the criteria manual.
