Examples include, but are not limited to: 1.1 Where the finish grade slope in the planting area between the top back of the street curb and the property line exceeds 30 percent. 1.2 Where bedrock is encountered within 30 inches of finish grade in the planting area between the top back of the curb and the property line. 1.3 Where existing healthy trees that are shown to be preserved within the right- of-way are in such close proximity as would prevent a new tree from establishing a full canopy when mature. 1.4 Where a City required bio-swale or stormwater facility is deemed to lack the proper soil volume, size or geographic location to establish a street tree(s). 2. Include a list of the species of trees to be planted. The species of trees must be selected according to the applicable matrix elements in the Approved Street Tree List and Planting Guide attached as Appendix A hereto, or as otherwise approved by the Urban Forester.

Detail the method(s) the applicant proposes to utilize to meet the species diversification and native species goals contained in Urban Forest Management Plan (UFMP) Policies 1.0 and 2.0. (e.g., no less than 50 percent of the trees shall be large shade trees and no more than 30 percent shall be of one species.) 4. Identify the size of trees that must meet or exceed the standards adopted in these administrative rules. 5.
