EXHIBIT A
Sec. 106-801. Tree preservation.
(a) It is the intent of this section to encourage the preservation of existing trees within the city and to
prohibit their unwarranted destruction. The city encourages site planning which furthers the
preservation of trees and natural areas by the following methods: To protect trees during
construction; to facilitate site design and construction which contributes to the long term viability of
existing trees; and to control premature removal of trees; require on-site replacement of trees that
must be removed and require off-site replacement of trees that cannot be replaced on-site, either by
direct planting as outlined in section 106-803 (Tree replacement) or through a contribution to the tree
(Tree fund) of this chapter. It is the further intent of this section
fund established in section 106-803
to achieve the following objectives:
(1) Protect healthy trees and preserve the natural, environmental, and aesthetic qualities of the city
to the degree possible.
(2) Protect and increase the value of residential and commercial properties within the city.
(3) Discourage premature clear-cutting of property.
(4) Maintain and enhance a positive image for the attraction of new developments to the city.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to cause or permit the destruction of any healthy native tree within
the city if such tree has a trunk which exceeds six inches in diameter (or 18.84-inch circumference)
at a point 18 inches above the natural ground level. Provided, however, it shall not be a violation of
this provision if a tree is removed and/or destroyed if the tree is obviously diseased or determined to
be diseased by an arborist or in the opinion of the planning director or his designated representative,
said tree constitutes a hazard to pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic along any such right-of-way.
(c) No person, firm or corporation desirous of developing or improving any parcel of property, shall
remove or cause the removal of any tree from said property without first obtaining a clearing permit
which would allow clearing of buildable areas only.
(d) The provisions of this section are not required on individual single family lots.
Sec. 106-802. Tree replacement
A tree disposition plan or tree survey must be submitted and approved prior to the removal or
destruction of any qualifying protected tree. In the event that it is necessary to remove a protected tree,
as a condition of a building permit issuance, applicant shall be required to replace the tree(s) being
removed with replacement trees as follows:
(a) Number of replacement trees. Tree disposition conditions and tree permit authorizing removal of
or damage to large trees or protected trees shall normally require replacement by one or more
newly planted trees on the same subject site. If this is not feasible, the owner or developer must
plant and maintain off-site replacement trees in reasonable proximity to the subject site.
(b) Minimum size. Replacement trees must normally have a trunk caliper of at least two inches
measured six inches from the ground. The enforcement officer may prescribe a proportionally
smaller trunk caliper for certain species of trees, i.e. Crepe Myrtle.
(c) Qualified trees. To be a "qualified tree", a tree must comply with the recommended tree list
"native or protected" of the city.
(d) Standard of review. The enforcement officer shall use reasonable best efforts to determine the
type and number of replacement trees required in an attempt to minimize undue burden
resulting from this section.
EXHIBIT A
(e) Trees in street area. Before authorizing establishment or maintenance of tree or decorative
landscaping, such as lighting or a watering system in a street area, the building official must be
satisfied that Tex. Trans. Code, Chapter 316 has been complied with and also confirms there
would be no violation of the provisions relating to visibility triangles and future overhead
obstruction.
A sufficient number and diameter of replacement trees shall be planted on the subject site in order to
equal the total diameter inches, as determined above. If this is not feasible, the applicant may, upon
approval by the director, plant and maintain off-site replacement trees in accordance with this section.
Sec. 106-803. Tree fund.
There is hereby established a tree fund, which shall be administered by the director of parks and
recreation or his/her designee. All revenues, mitigation fees, and penalties received pursuant to this
section, or for the enforcement thereof, and any donations or grant monies received to achieve the
purpose of tree preservation or replacement, shall be deposited into the tree fund. Monies in the tree fund
may be used to purchase trees required for replacement but may not be used in any manner that will
profit the grantee. Tree replacement fee shall be calculated at the rate of $50.00 per caliper inch of tree
otherwise required or shall be periodically adjusted as the market value of replacement trees warrants.
The amount paid to the tree fund shall be applied at a maximum of $5,000 per acre (or fraction thereof)
with a maximum total payment of $100,000 per development.
The owner or developer of any lot or tract of land required to replace trees in accordance with this
chapter may, as an alternative, and upon approval by the city, pay a prescribed fee/amount into the tree
fund in accordance with the following conditions:
(1) Residential and non-residential site plans/plats. Payment to the tree fund must be received by
the city prior to the submission of the development site plan and/or final plat approval by the
planning and zoning commission.
(2) Building permits not requiring site plans/plats. Payment to the tree fund must be received by the
city prior to the issuance of a building permit.
