CITY OF CARMEL
STREET TREE PLANTING SPECIFICATIONS
The purpose of these specifications is to assure that trees to be
planted upon public grounds and the public right of ways are
properly maintained and preserved to protect their economic,
aesthetic, and ecological benefit to the City of Carmel and its
residents.
(a) Street Trees that are to be planted in a Public Parkway must
first be approved by the City's Arborist. Approved plantings must
be maintained one (1) year after the trees are planted and any
trees which fail to survive or do not exhibit normal growth
characteristics of health and vigor within the one -year period must
be replaced at the expense of the Property Owner. The one -year
period shall begin at each planting and shall recommence as Trees
are replaced. Upon completion of a Street Tree planting, the
landscape contractor shall contact the City for a preliminary
inspection. The guarantee period shall begin after the approval of
the City and final inspection shall be made at the end of the
guarantee period.
(b) Absent specific approval from the City's Arborist, no Street Tree
may be planted so that its center is closer than 2 feet from a
sidewalk or walkway. No Street Tree may be planted so that its
center is closer than 2 feet from a curb. New Street Tree
plantings will be lined up with neighboring trees provided that the
neighborhood trees meet the above mentioned distances.
(c) At the intersection of roadways or vehicular access points, no
Plant Material with mature height of greater than 30 inches shall be
planted within the sight triangle measuring 30 feet along the
boundary of each of the intersecting roadways, measured from the
point of intersecting curb lines, except where engineering standards
indicate otherwise.
(d) Absent specific approval from the City's Arborist, no Street Tree
planting is permitted where the distance between the curb and
detached sidewalk is less than 5 feet. In addition, a planting area
defined by tow curbs, curb and fence, or sidewalk and fence must
be 5 feet wide if Street Trees are to be planted.
(e) Larger maturing trees should be placed 35 feet apart and
smaller maturing trees 20 feet apart. The City's Arborist may
require wider spacing if it is necessary for development of the Tree
for safe use of the street or sidewalk. When space is limited or to
achieve certain design effects, closer spacing may be considered.
(f) No Street Tree shall be planted in a Tree Well unless first
approved by the City's Arborist and then must be a minimum of 25
square feet (5 feet by 5 feet) for small trees and 49 square feet
(7 feet by 7 feet).
(g) No Street Tree shall be planted closer than 10 feet from any
private driveway or alley.
(h) No Street Tree other than low growing species that do not
attain a mature height greater than 20 feet shall be planted under
or within 20 feet of any overhead power lines.
(i) No Street Tree shall be planted so that its center is within 10
feet of a fire hydrant, water valve or manhole.
(j) All plantings shall adhere to the City of Carmel Tree and Shrub
Installation Specifications (root flare at grade level).
