<DIV>Please note the following example from Philadelphia Pa.
Densification does not mean you cannot plant trees or even grow trees.
it is all about the resources needed to accomplish the goals not that
they cannot be accomplished<BR>

style="COLOR: rgb(31,73,125)">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></DIV>

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></DIV>
