An exception to the Metro tree ordinance is as follows:
C. A platted lot zoned for single-family or two-family dwellings for which a valid building permit has been issued. This exemption shall not apply to unplatted parcels of land being developed for nonresidential uses in residential districts nor to the process of subdividing property for the purpose of creating streets and extending utilities, or to other residential developments that require final site plan or special exception approval.
Don't the developers have a final site plan? If so, isn't the Metro tree ordinance inapplicable?
