Agreed. It would also appear that this picture also touches on a
previous issue that was addressed not too long ago and that being the
need <br>
for adequate soil exposure around the base of the tree. <br>

<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>

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>

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>
