Where the plan is submitted as part of an application for major subdivision, minor subdivision or site plan approval, the time for approval shall be governed by the time requirements applicable to major subdivision, minor subdivision or site plans.

Where the application for a tree removal and protection permit is made subsequently for ROWs, easements, or for lots or groups of lots of a subdivision or site, or in connection with a single-family lot (not part of a major or minor subdivision), the City or its Zoning Officer shall act on the application within 20 days of its receipt or within such additional time as consented to by the applicant. Failure to act within 20 days, or any extension thereof, shall be deemed to be an approval of the application, and thereafter the City or its Zoning Officer shall issue a tree removal permit based thereon. However, no tree removal activity shall be undertaken until the inspection requirements of § 215-174 shall have been satisfied. A copy of the signed application shall be sent to the applicant as a permit.
