A. The subdivider is required to install approved street trees in accordance with CVMC 18.32.110 as lots within the development are occupied. For those street trees which have not been installed at the time of acceptance of public improvements, the subdivider shall deposit with the Director of Finance the required deposit fee(s). For subdivisions in which full landscape improvements, including but not limited to the installation of irrigation systems and the planting of vegetation and street trees, are required in the area between the public curb line and the public sidewalk and in which the subdivider has provided sufficient surety to guarantee completion of said landscape improvements, no deposit fee is required as a prerequisite to the acceptance of public improvements.

No acceptance of public improvements shall be given until such sums, if required pursuant to this subsection (A), are received by the Director of Finance. Such sums shall be deposited in the public works street tree trust fund. Sums in this fund shall be used for the purchase and planting of trees at such time as the lots become occupied.

B. Costs for labor and equipment required to plant trees for which deposits have been made shall be determined by the City Engineer. The Director of Finance shall transfer sums so determined to appropriate operating accounts upon receipt of a summary of planting costs and request for transfer of funds from the City Engineer.

C. In any instance where the planting of a tree at a specific site is determined by the City Engineer to be impractical or where the adjacent property owner makes practical objection to the planting of a tree, the deposit for such tree may be utilized for the purchase and planting of trees at any location within the public street system of the City.
