Trees shall be placed back of the right-of-way line of street, so as not to interfere with the installation and maintenance of sidewalks, drainage facilities and/or utilities and shall be of two-inch caliper, balled and burlapped, and guaranteed for 18 months after planting. Species selection shall be at the discretion of the Board of Supervisors or as recommended by the Planning Commission.
