2. CLEARING TO SELL: Minimal clearing in the preparation to sell a lot, no construction. Minimal clearing is considered KEEPING most trees with clearing of underbrush (i.e. five feet and under, shrubs, saplings, low vines, etc. growing under the larger trees) to better see the lot for sales purpose only, and in order to preserve the landscape. REQUIRES the submission of a Variance application AND APPROVAL before commencing the work.
