A.
Planning Board review.
(1)
Simultaneously with the submission to the Planning Board for approval of any site plan or subdivision plan, an applicant shall submit four sets of the plan and a landscape plan showing all Class B and Class C trees on the real property and any public or private right-of-way adjoining the real property and indicating thereon:
(a)
Existing Class B and Class C trees, identifying the size and species.
(b)
Identification of such trees proposed to be removed or retained.
(c)
All such diseased, dead or damaged trees.
(d)
The size, species and planting method of all proposed plans for replanting, replacement or remediation.
(e)
Any proposed grade changes.
(2)
The removal of any tree that otherwise would be subject to the notice or permit requirements set forth in Article VI or VII of this chapter may be permitted in accordance with site plan or subdivision approval and will not also require notice pursuant to Article VI or a tree removal permit approval pursuant to Article VII.
B.
Street trees. If the site plan or subdivision plan does not propose, or depict existing, sidewalks or curbs, the applicant may plant shade trees in the unpaved area of the right-of-way, in locations to be determined by the Superintendent.
C.
Restoration fees. For Class C and four or more Class B trees to be removed due to new construction that are not subject to Article VII herein, a fee, as determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, shall be paid by the applicant and deposited into the Village Tree Releaf Fund.
D.
Inspection. After: (a) the granting of site plan approval and prior to issuance of a certificate of occupancy by the Building Department; or (b) the granting of subdivision approval and execution of a subdivision map by the Planning Board Chair, the Superintendent shall inspect the real property to determine whether all trees proposed to be preserved shall in fact remain in existence. If the Superintendent determines that any tree that was to be preserved has been removed, damaged, destroyed, or substantially altered, the applicant shall be required to replace the tree or trees with trees of equal kind to the satisfaction of the Planning Board. The Planning Board may make such determination at any meeting of the Board without the requirement that a public hearing be held for such purpose.
