Lots with six thousand (6,000) or less square feet shall be required to plant
one (1) shade tree or one (1) evergreen tree in the front yard. If there is
not sufficient area for the tree to be placed in the front yard, then the
required tree may be planted in a side or rear yard.
(ii) Lots between six thousand (6,000) and fifteen thousand (15,000) square
feet shall be required to plant two (2) trees in the front yard. If there is not
sufficient area for the tree to be placed in the front yard, then the required
tree(s) may be planted in a side yard.
