Medina, OH Tree Protection: Parkway Planting (2026)

" The trees must conform to City specifications, and the ordinance requires them on every street built with curbs and gutters, tied to the subdivision's approved improvement schedule. The City Forester sets the actual per-tree or per-lot fee "in accordance with the current specifications," and that fee is due before the Planning Commission signs off on the final plat, not after construction wraps up, so a developer cannot push the tree line to a later phase or skip it if lot sales are slow. 03(g), lets the Planning Commission require planting screens or fences where reverse-frontage lots back onto a major arterial street or sit between an arterial and a marginal access street, so long as the screening does not create a sightline or safety hazard; a landscape plan for any such screen has to be submitted with the final plat for approval.

03(h). Because these are subdivision-approval conditions rather than a standalone tree ordinance, the obligation runs to the developer of record at final plat, not to individual homeowners after the lots are sold and built out.
