Such trees shall be planted in the parkways not less than four feet
from any sidewalk or curb, and spaced not less than one per lot and
two for corner lots. However, at street corners, trees shall be located
at least 20 feet from the intersection of street right of way lines.
Where the planting strip between the sidewalk and street curb is less
than six feet wide, the trees shall be planted on the lots. This requirement
may be satisfied if an equivalent number of trees of the same size
or larger are planted in a naturalistic manner in the front yards
of the adjoining lots. In this case, the developer shall include said
required trees in the covenant restrictions.
[1960 Code, Sec. 13.48.020]
The following trees are acceptable to the City for such planting:
red or pin oak, hard maple, thornless honey locust, ironwood, columnar

The average trunk diameter of such trees measured at a height of six

inches.
[1960 Code, Sec. 13.48.030]

are free from disease under the state of Illinois inspection department
standards. The trees shall be of balled and burlapped stock, transplanting
thereof having been done within four years from the time of purchase.
Trees when planted shall bear a guarantee that they will bear leaves
two growing seasons in succession. This guarantee shall extend to
all replacement trees furnished under this guarantee.
