§ 30-784 <br /> <br />VICTORIA CODE <br /> <br />tractor by planting that number of trees ("replace- <br />ment trees") determined in accordance with the <br />tree replacement table. <br /> <br />(b) Tree replacement table. The following table identifies the required amount of tree replacement. <br /> <br />HOMEOWNER TREE REPLACEMENT TABLE <br /> <br /> Required Replacement Tree Required Replacement Tree <br />Percent of Caliper Inches for Caliper Inches for <br />Significant Tree Low Tree Density High Tree Density <br />Caliper Inches Removed (for each I tree removed) (for each 1 tree removed) <br />0~9.9 0 0 <br />10--19.9 0.4 0.2 <br />20--29.9 0.5 0.3 <br />30~39.9 0.6 0.4 <br />40~49.9 O.7 O.5 <br />50---59.9 0.8 0.6 <br />60--69.9 0.9 0.7 <br />7O--79.9 1 0.8 <br />80--89.9 1.1 0.9 <br /> · 90--100 1.2 I <br /> <br />Notes: <br /> <br /> (1) <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />The amount to be replaced is to be measured in "replacement tree" caliper inches, usually <br />measured 12 inches from ground, and the amount removed is measured in "significant tree" <br />caliper inches, usually measured 4.5 feet from the ground. <br /> <br />If the lot has less than three significant trees with a total of 30 or more caliper inches and there <br />is no practical way to expand the structure without removal of more than 60 percent of the caliper <br />inches, then the required replacement trees need not exceed nine caliper inches. <br /> <br />Failure to obtain a permit prior to tree removal (removal or killing of more than ten percent of <br />the significant tree caliper inches in any five-year period) is cause to require tree replacement to <br />be increased by 0.1 for every one caliper inch removed. <br /> <br /> (c) Sizes and types of replacement trees. Re- <br />placement trees must be no less than the follow- <br />lng sizes: <br /> <br />(1) <br /> <br />Deciduous trees: no less than two caliper <br />inches, except bur oak, swamp white oak, <br />pagoda dogwood, ironwood and similar <br />trees accepted by the city which may be <br />1.25 caliper inches. <br /> <br />(2) Coniferous trees: no less than five feet <br /> high. <br /> <br /> (d) Time to perform. Replacement trees shall <br />be planted not less than 12 months from the date <br />of issuance of the permit. <br /> <br /> (e) Missing, dead or unhealthy trees. Any re- <br />placement tree which is not alive or healthy one <br />year after the date of planting shall be removed <br />and a new, healthy tree of the same size shall be <br />planted in place of the removed tree. Planting <br />shall occur not later than the first fall or spring <br />following such year. <br /> <br />CD30:ll0 <br /> <br /> <br />
