  • A. Except as otherwise provided herein, parkway trees shall be provided and planted by the owner or developer of any lot in connection with any construction on such lot requiring a building permit under the Building Code valued in excess of $10,000.

  • B. Such parkway trees shall be planted in the public easement (parkway strip) between the street pavement and the lot line of such lot. If sidewalk exists in such parkway strip without provision for parkway trees, tree wells shall be provided as part of such parkway tree requirement.

  • C. Utilities shall not be released for the buildings or structures constructed on such lot until the required parkway trees have been planted or such planting has been provided for in accordance herewith and the specifications of the Director of Public Works. Such provision may be made by bond pursuant to the provisions of CMC § 1400 in an amount not to exceed the estimated cost of the parkway tree requirement.

  • D. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section:

    • (1) The total estimated cost of the parkway tree requirement shall not exceed one-third (1/3) of the estimated value of the improvements provided for in such building permit; and

    • (2) Where adequate public right-of-way (parkway strip) does not exist, or where the adjacent street is not improved or required to be improved with the proposed development with curb and gutter, such parkway tree requirement shall be waived in connection with such building permit. Such waiver shall not affect the requirement for parkway trees in connection with any subsequent application for a building permit with respect to such lot.

  • E. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to incidental construction on previously developed residential lots. Such incidental construction shall include, but not be limited to, room or patio additions, room realignment, and swimming pool and garage construction. Incidental construction, as said term is used herein, shall not include the construction of a residential unit.
