Hi urban foresters,
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?
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!
