§ 235-4. Spacing.

Future planting of shade and ornamental trees in the streets, parks and public places of the City may be done by the Department upon payment of certain fees and charges and in accordance with such rules and regulations as may be established by Council insofar as such rules and regulations do not conflict with any other provisions of this chapter. No future planting of shade and ornamental trees or shrubs in the highways, parks and public places of the City by owners or anyone employed by them shall be permitted without the approval of the Director. Trees shall be spaced not less than 50 feet apart, except that when any lot is 50 feet or less in width, one tree may be planted per lot. The tree shall be placed at the mid-point between the edge of the curb and the edge of the sidewalk, and a minimum distance of four feet between sidewalk and tree and between tree and curb shall be maintained wherever possible.
