This division is intended to provide standards for the preservation of trees as part
of the land development and/or building construction process. The village board finds
that such preservation is necessary to promote the general health and welfare of the
community by making the village a more attractive place to live, protect watercourses
and ecology, provide a healthy living environment, and to better maintain control
of flooding, noise, glare, and soil erosion. The village board further finds that
trees provide beneficial oxygen while reducing the levels of harmful carbon dioxide
and reduce air pollution, purify water, and stabilize soil. Trees also provide wildlife
habitat and shade, cool the land, reduce noise, and provide an aesthetic value to
the land.
