<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We’ve had some similar issues in
Kelowna, because much of the new development is happening on hillsides. In
these areas, the roads are narrower and so are the building lots. In some
cases we’ve said we don’t want street trees because it’s too narrow. However
you might be able to work with your development bylaw and require that the
trees get planted elsewhere on the private property (in the back yard) if there’s
enough space. That way you still get the environmental benefits but not the maintenance
costs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>Hi urban foresters,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>With a mandate of intensification, our City
of Ottawa planning department is facing pressure to decrease the setbacks from
home to the city right-of-ways down to 3 m. This would mean that trees could be
planted as close as 3.5 m from the home, which could cause complications down
the road from a tree trimming perspective. Are other jurisdictions facing this
same pressure, and if so, how close to the homes are you allowing trees to be
planted?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-CA>I would be interested to know if other
jurisdictions have developed species specific guidelines for how close trees
can be planted to homes. Any information on this would be very useful. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
