RE: Tree Planting Plan and Ordinance
The IO{4A CITY PLAN - Tree Planting Plan, Tree Regulations, an ordnance.
amending the powers of the Zoning Board of Adjustment and an ordinance
amending the Forestry Ordinance have been recommended for adoptioh by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and by the Comprehensive Plan
Coordinating Committee. These items were developed by the staff sof the.
Department of Community Development through a series of public meetings
and work sessions and have been modified by the Comprehensive, Plah
Coordinating Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission to meet
the concerns expressed by residents and commissioners. A summary of
the items and major changes which have been made from preliminary draft's
follows:
TREE PLANTING PLAN
The Tree Planting Plan has been changed to reflect changes made in the
tree ordinance and to alter the map and approved tree list..
Center Fold Out -
1) The legend on the map has been altered to delete.the designation
"Arterial Streets - Buffer Plantings".
a. The legend will carry the statement "A planting permit is.
required to plant a tree in a street right-of-way."
b. The symbol which designates Arterial Streets - Buffer Plantings
will be changed to Arterial and Collector Streets.
(These changes were made to incorporate a change, in the.ordiu,ance
which allows buffer planting "along arterial and collector streets
where buffering from noise is appropriate".)
2) The lower left-hand panel of the center fold out has been changed
to reflect the changes made in the Tree Regulations andone typo-
graphical error.
3) Lower right-hand panel of the center fold out has been chan8ed to
incorporate comments made by landscape architects, nurserymen and
commissioners, plus additional comments from the City Forester,. to
broaden the selection of trees appropriate for planting within
public rights-of-way. Additional changes on this panel were made
to reflect comments of the City Forester and nurserymen.

HOW TO PLANT A TREE was changed to reflect the changes made in the
Tree Regulations concerning protection of visual sight distance at
intersections. .
TREE REGULATIONS l
e
The tree regulations have been changed to reflect some of the principal
concern of many home builders in Iowa City. The changes in the ordinance
pertain to application of the standards rather than a change in ox,fginal
standards. Major changes include:
8.10.40.11.8 Lots containing residential structures with less than two
hundred (200) square meters (2,152 square feet) of surface
coverage have been exempted from the required street tree
plantings based on lot frontage. This change reflects the
concern that the private homeowner should be given maximum !
latitude in the choice of species and location of t?sees
within the property.
8.10.40.12.A The first two hundred (200) square meters (2,152 squaire, feet) !i
of surface coverage by residential structures were e;iempted
from the provision that trees be planted in a ratio to building
coverage. Again this change reflects the concern that the
private homeowner be given maximum choice, 1f
8.10.40.12.8 6 $ 7 Subsections 6 and 7 were added to allow for meeting
the requirements of this section with redevelopment and, new
development. Subsection 6 allows redevelopment an optional
method ofmeeting the requirements, if total redesign of' the
site is not desirable. Subsection 7 establishes cri,�eria.
for the Planning and Zoning Commission to accept innovative
design in lieu of strict compliance with the provisions' of
parking lot design.
ADDITIONAL POWERS FOR THE ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
it
This ordinance establishes new powers for the Zoning Board of Adjustment
so that they may hear appeals of the Tree Regulations.
