Minimum Distance Standards

  • At least 10′ from driveways, wheelchair ramps and fire hydrants
  • No closer than 5′ behind or 10′ in front of traffic or street signs
  • At least 5′ from underground utility lines (water, sewer, gas, power)
  • At least 10′ from street lights, farther for larger trees
  • At least 15′ from storm drainage inlets
  • At least 30′ from intersections

These minimum distance standards are only used as guidelines. Every site has unique characteristics that must be considered before a tree is planted. The final location of a tree will be determined by the Tree Warden.
