(a) There is established a tree planting fee, which fee shall be established by the director of parks and open space in accordance with the provisions of section 2-587 of this Code. The city shall plant a tree approximately every 45 feet on all single-family detached residentially zoned premises abutting, fronting, backing or siding upon a publicly dedicated street. For all other premises abutting, fronting, backing or siding upon a publicly dedicated street not a principal arterial, trees shall be planted within street rights-of-way within the City. The placement of trees funded from other than single-family detached residentially zoned premises will be at the direction of the director of parks and open space. The trees are not required to be planted within the right-of-way adjoining the premises for which fees were collected. Upon receipt, the fees shall be expended solely for trees to be planted and capital equipment necessary for the planting and maintenance of trees and for the salary of a tree technician. Such technician is to be assigned to the director of parks and open space.

(b) In residential planned unit developments, no front-footage fee shall be charged on residential frontages abutting upon private drives. (Code 1979, § 29-37; Ord. No. 2010-57, § 7, 12-20-2010; Ord. No. 2005-92, § 27, 12-5-2005; Ord. No. 95-53, exhibit A (§ 29-37), 9-11-1995)
