The purpose of this chapter is to provide a fund for the planting of trees within the Town of Newton. More specifically, when an applicant for a major site plan cannot or does not wish to fulfill the tree replacement requirements of §
240-7B(6), then the applicant must contribute to the Tree Bank. Additionally, public or private entities that wish to donate to the Town of Newton to provide for trees to be planted may donate to the Tree Bank for said purpose.
The Tree Bank applies to all properties seeking major site plan approval in the Town of Newton pursuant to Chapter
240.
