ITEM EXPLANATION
Section 18. 28. 010 of the City Code requires the subdivider to install approved
street trees as lots within the development are occupied. For those street
trees which have not been installed at the time of acceptance of the public
improvements, the subdivider shall deposit with the Director of Finance fees
for the installation of street trees. These fees are transferred to the
appropriate operating account for use by the Director of Public Works to cover
the purchase and planting of the remaining trees in the subdivision. At the
present time, the following fees are collected:
1. For all interior lots having less than 75 feet of street frontage - $15. 00
per lot.
2. For all other interior lots - $25. 00 per lot.
3. For all corner lots whose street frontage is less than 175 feet - $25.00
per lot.
4. For all corner lots whose street frontage is 175 feet or more - $50. 00
per lot.
The cost of planting trees within subdivisions by the subdividers has reached
the point where it is more economical for them to deposit the fees and have
the City plant the trees. The City' s costs have also increased dramatically,

and the present fees are inadequate to cover the City' s expense of purchasing
and planting trees. The City' s current expense to purchase and plant trees
ranges between $90 and $50 per tree. This figure includes all labor, material,
equipment and administrative costs.
Contact was made with three landscape companies regarding their cost for
planting street trees. The average cost to plant 1-2 trees was $57/tree.
The average cost to plant 10 or more trees was $49/tree.
It is recommended thaE the fees listed in Section 18. 28. 010, Subsection A
1, 2, 3 and 4 be revised as follows:
1. For all interior lots having less than 75 feet of street
frontage - $75. 00 per lot.
2. For all other interior lots - $150 per lot.
3. For all corner lots whose street frontage is less than 175 feet -
$150 per lot.
9 . For all corner lots whose street frontage is 175 feet or more -
5300 per lot.
