There are four factors which were considered in arriving at the proper dimension: (1) the survivability of the tree, (2) the cost imposed on the builder and thereby the consumer, (3) the ease of compliance with the regulation and the consequent ease of enforcement, and (4) whether the intent of the regulation is being met. The debate centered around roughly two sizes - a 2"-2.5" caliper and a 1.5" caliper. The caliper finally proposed in the amended regulations is 1.5" for both large and small deciduous trees. This figure was arrived at after surveying local nurseries as to cost and availability of different sized trees and evaluating the results in the context of the four factors cited above. According to various local nurseries, a 1.5" caliper tree can be equated to a large tree of approximately 7'-9' and a small tree of approximately 4'-6', depending on the species (large and small refer to the tree size at maturity). The 1.5 caliper tree at the heights mentioned should have a good rate of survivability. The cost of the smaller caliper tree is considerably less than the 2"-2.5" caliper tree, with the larger caliper costing from 2 to 5 times as much as the smaller caliper in some instances. The larger caliper may require the use of a tree spade for planting and often cannot be acquired directly from a nursery retail outlet. Given the cost factors, the planting constraints and the need to special order, regulations requiring the larger caliper tree would present unnecessary barriers to cooperative compliance with the ordinance and may make enforcement more difficult, resulting in a less effective implementation of the intent of the ordi- nance. If people are burdened by the cost and physical difficulties of compliance, they are more likely to attempt to get around the ordinance. Since we have limited enforcement capabilities, every effort should be made to make compliance as painless as possible, without subverting the intent of the ordinance. The smaller caliper requirement will mean that a fair sized tree(V -9') with a good chance for survival will be planted at a cost the developer should be able to bear. bdw2/9 City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: June 27, 1984 To: From: City Karin Council Franklin, Planne I v Re: Tree Regulations In December, 1983, the Chamber of Commerce sent a proposal to the City Council for amendments to the Tree Regulations of the Zoning Ordinance. The staff met with the Environmental Concerns Committee of the Chamber, discussed the changes proposed, and sent a revised proposal to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The ordinance included in the Council's packet is the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission; the underlined language indicates changes from the current ordinance. Many of the changes in language were done to provide clarity in intent and changes in format were included to make the ordinance easier to use. Other amendments include dimensional changes for planting location and the addition of subsections to provide consistency within the ordinance. Following is a list of major changes by ordinance section: Section 36-72(b)(2): This provision exempts from the ordinance properties which are developed to the maximum allowable under the zoning ordinance yard setbacks in such a manner that insufficient yards are available for the planting of trees. An example is a lot developed in a CB -2 zone in which there are no required yards and a building is built to the property line. Section 36-72(d): A temporary certificate of occupancy is necessary since the tree regula- tions would not have been complied with at the time a planting delay was granted. The escrow account provides an incentive to developers to comply without the necessity of further action by the City. Section 36-72(e): A memo is included in the packet addressing the rationale for the planting size proposed. Section 36-73(a)(2)(b): . Flexibility in compliance has been provided to accommodate ten foot utility easements usually found inside the property line. IA3a Page 2 Section 36-73(a)(3)(g): This provision reflects a concern for visibility along street rights- of-way; see also Section 36-73(a)(3)d. Section 36-73(b)(2)c: The term "planting area" has been substituted for "tree island" since islands are not necessarily required. The required size of planting areas has been decreased to provide for a minimum pervious surface for survi- vability of the tree and yet allow some flexibility in design. Section 36-73(c)(2)a: An incentive is provided for the planting of larger trees at planting time. In addition, trees which fulfill the building coverage requirements may also be used for right-of-way or parking area trees, if properly placed. A list of recommended trees, revised by the City Forester, is attached to the ordinance and will be incorporated by reference. Builders will be required to follow this list with the option of planting other varieties with the City Forester's consent. bc3 M ORDINANCE NO.

Parking areas shall have the minimum dimensions illustrated in Figure i for each of the parking configurations permitted (where the edges of parking spaces are curved, as on a curved aisle, all angles shall be measured between the straight edges of the parking spaces and tangents to the curved edges at their point of intersec- tion). b. Up to one-third (1/3) of the required number of parking spaces may be eight (8) feet in width by 15 feet in length if the parking spaces are signed "Compact Vehicles Only." c. All parking spaces shall be connected to an aisle which shall have a minimum width as indicated in Figure 1. Aisles designed for two-way traffic shall have a minimum width of 22 feet. d. The greatest aisle width shown in Figure 1 shall be provided when combining different parking space configurations on the same aisle. e. Parking spaces shall be designed to permit ingress and egress of the vehicle without moving any other vehicle occupying a parking space. For single-family dwellings (including zero lot line and townhouse units) and duplexes, when located pursuant to the require- ments of this Chapter, one space may be behind another. JR3-7 Ordinance No. 84-3191 Page 2 f. No parking area shall be designed in such a manner that exiting a parking area would require backing into a street. g. If the number of parking spaces required or provided for a use or a combination of uses on a lot is greater than eight (8) spaces, none of those spaces may be located in such a manner that would require backing into an alley. h. Parking spaces along lot lines and alleys shall be provided with car stops or curbing so no part of a parked vehicle can extend beyond the lot line or into the alley. I. All parking spaces, stacking spaces, drives and aisles in parking areas shall be pitched or curbed and drained to prevent the flow of excess water from such areas onto streets and alleys which do not have adequate drainage facilities as determined by the City Engineer. J. In all parking areas required by .this Chapter, parking spaces shall be visibly delineated on the surface by painted or marked stripes. k. If two or more parking areas on a lot are connected by a drive, the parking areas shall be designed such that an aisle connected to more than 12 parking spaces is not used as a drive in providing access to another parking area. The Zoning Ordinance is amended by deleting Section 36-58(c)(3)a.4. and inserting the following: 4. Except for single family dwellings (including zero lot line and townhouse units) and duplexes, no parking space shall be located closer than five (5) feet to a ground floor doorway or a window of a dwelling unit.
