The following words and terms, wherever they occur in this Ordinance, shall be <br />interpreted as herein defined: <br />Approved Species: Species found on the City maintained list which may be planted. The City <br />may restrict applicant's use of approved species in certain situations where the species may <br />be inappropriate. <br />Basic use area: Area dedicated to site's praey -use, including buildings, parking, loading, <br />driveways, streets, outbuildings, trash enclosures, utilities, landscaping, and grading <br />necessary for inipteRientatieft the construction of the above uses. Surface water detention <br />ponds are not part of the basic use area. <br />Biodiversity: The variety, distribution and abundance of living organisms in an ecosystem. <br />Buffer: Linear bands of vegetation, and /or space providing separation between two separate <br />land uses. <br />Caliper: Standard measure of tree size for newly planted trees. The caliper inches of a tree <br />is the diameter of the trunk. This dimension is measured at 6" above the ground when the <br />trees are 4" caliper and less. For trees over 4" caliper, the diameter of the trunk is measured <br />at 12" above the ground. <br />Canopy: The top layer or crown of trees. <br />Cutting: The feeling or removal of a tree or any procedure in which the natural result will <br />lead to the death or substantial destruction of a tree.

Cutting does not include normal pruning within <br />the bounds of normal arboricultural practice. <br />Damage: Action or inaction which does not follow good arboriculture practices. Damage <br />may include damage inflicted upon roots by machinery, changing the natural grade above <br />the root system or around the trunk, destruction of the natural shape or any action which <br />causes infection, infestation or decay. <br />DBH: Diameter at breast height, typically measured at 4' -6' above the ground. <br />Detention Area: Area of a detention pond from the normal water level and up the side <br />slopes to 10' offset from the high water level. <br />Disturbance: Any construction, development, removals, earth movement, clearing or other <br />similar activity. <br />Diseased tree: A tree with a health condition which makes it subject to a high probability of <br />failure. <br />Dripline: Imaginary line on the ground that is extended straight downward from the <br />outermost edge of the canopy. <br />Foundation Landscape Zone: Within 15' of the building. <br />Invasive species: A plant non - native to the local ecosystem which exhibits, or has the <br />potential to exhibit, uncontrolled growth and invasion or alteration of the natural functions of <br />any native habitat. <br />
