we now have a question from vice president honda? >> vice president honda: so mr. buck, is that tree considered a significant street? >> thank you, vice president honda. it's a street tree. it's not considered significant trees. significant trees are only trees that are on private public and not in the public right-of-way. so what a significant tree is saying it's off the right-of-way, but it's benefiting the public right-of-way as if it were a street tree. so the signature tree criteria is sort of separate here. it doesn't apply to property that is owned by other city agencies, so it's not a significant tree, but that said, it is a fabulous street tree. >> vice president honda: secondly, thank you for not using all 14 minutes of your time. and so the next question is watering plan and guaranteeing of the trees? so who is responsible for watering and -- and as, you know, joshua klipp has shown repeatedly, where developers have already built, and then they're gone, who's responsible for the empty basins? >> sure. so the developer will be responsible for planting, es
