On undeveloped islands, public recreation lands, the slope or face of <br />1725 bluffs, within 200 feet of the normal high water mark of the river, and <br />1726 within the area 40 feet landward from bluff -lines, clear cutting shall <br />1727 not be permitted. <br />1728 b. On all other lands within these districts, clear cutting shall be guided <br />1729 by the following provisions: <br />1730 1. Any selective or clear cutting shall require an environmental <br />1731 permit from the city. The permittee shall submit a plan to the <br />1732 city showing the size and location of all trees on the site and <br />1733 which trees are proposed to be cut. The plan shall be drawn <br />1734 to an accurate scale. The permit application shall be reviewed <br />1735 by both the building inspector and the tree inspector; <br />1736 2. Clear cutting shall not be used where soil, slope or other <br />1737 water shed conditions are fragile and subject to injury; <br />1738 3. Clear cutting shall be conducted only where clear cut blocks, <br />1739 patches or strips are, in all cases, shaped and blended with <br />1740 the natural terrain; <br />1741 4.

Where feasible, all selective cuts shall be conducted between <br />1744 September 15 and May 15. If natural regeneration will not <br />1745 result in adequate vegetation cover, areas in which clear <br />1746 cutting is conducted shall be replanted to prevent erosion and <br />1747 to maintain the aesthetic quality of the area; and where <br />1748 feasible, replanting shall be performed in the same spring or <br />1749 the following spring. <br />1750 c.
