• <br />• <br />Small Tree. Understory deciduous trees with a mature height of 18' <br />and under. <br />Tree. Any self supporting woody plant, growing up the earth with <br />one trunk of at least 3" dbh, or a multi- stemmed trunk system with <br />a definitely formed crown. <br />Undesirable Tree. Trees that are dead, diseased, structurally weak, <br />invasive or trees that are hazardous to people, infrastructure or <br />buildings. <br />2. Landscaping Standards. New residential platted subdivisions, mixed <br />use, commercial, institutional and industrial uses shall be subject to the <br />landscaping standards unless specifically excepted. The landscape <br />standards have been divided into five categories: Canopy Cover, <br />Foundation Landscape, Open Areas Landscape, Buffer and Screen, and <br />Boulevard Trees. Projects shall comply with the applicable requirements <br />of all five categories. <br />3. Canopy Cover Standards. The purpose of this requirement is to mitigate <br />the effects of vehicular hardscape by establishing tree canopy cover to <br />intercept rainfall, protect pavement from sun deterioration, reduce the <br />heat island affect, and improve aesthetics. Vehicular hardscape areas <br />includes loading drives, parking lots, driveways, drop -offs and other areas <br />covered with a hard surface intended for vehicles. Canopy cover <br />requirements do not apply to single family residential development, nor to <br />multi - family residential development without surface parking other than <br />individual unit driveways. <br />a. The required minimum canopy coverage for all uses is 40 %. <br />b. The following equation shall be used to calculate required canopy <br />coverage: <br />Vehicular Hardscape (Square Feet) x Canopy Cover Percent = <br />Required Minimum Canopy Cover (Square Feet) <br />The total of the assigned canopy coverage values for all the trees <br />in or near the vehicular hardscape must be equal or greater than <br />the required minimum. Pervious pavements are considered 50% <br />hardscape. <br />c. The assigned canopy coverage value of each tree is based on <br />planting location, tree size and anticipated tree canopy size 15 <br />years after planting. The assigned canopy cover value to each <br />deciduous tree is described in the following table and illustrations: <br />Lino Lakes Zoning Ordinance Amended General Provisions <br />Updated August 2012 3 -35 <br />
