From 5 feet to 30 feet from the house – or to the property line, whichever is less:

• Clear vegetation 10 feet from stationary propane tanks.

• Keep lawns and native grasses mowed to a height of four inches or less.

• Remove ladder fuels (vegetation under trees). Prune trees up to six feet from the ground. For trees shorter than 18 feet tall, trim above the ground to 1/3 of the overall tree height.

• Space trees to have approximately 10 feet between crowns or approximately 40 trees per ½ acre.

• Tree placement planned so the mature canopy is at least 10 feet from the edge of the structure.

• Tree and shrubs in this zone should be limited to clusters breaking up the continuity of the vegetation across the landscape.
