I have a project where trees, shrubs and groundcovers will be used. While the area coverage of shrubs and groundcovers is relatively easy to calculate, trees are a bit more tricky.

SSc5.1 Disturbance Parameter Clarifications

I assume that stormwater drainage pipes and appurtenances count as utilities and will be allowed the 10 or 15 foot disturbance buffer depending on diameter?
