Trees contained on lots shall not be removed by the DEVELOPER and are designated as "custom lots". For the purposes of this AGREEMENT "custom lots" shall not be graded or have trees removed until a building permit is pulled for the lot. As part of the building permit submittal, the applicant is required to submit information showing which trees will be removed as part of the site development for CITY approval. Prior to the removal of any trees, 'tree save fences' must be installed prior to land clearing or grading. In addition, the DEVELOPER shall do the following: a) Minimize the impact of construction on trees in accordance with Minnesota Extension Service publication "Protecting Trees From Construction Damage" (Publication #NR- FO-6135-S). b) Lots and street fight of way that are to have less than 2 feet of cut or fill will be examined by CITY staff and the DEVELOPER to identify "save trees". Rear and side yard lot lines with positive drainage-may-include "save trees" within areas proposed to be impacted by up to 3 feet of fill. c) "Save trees" will be protected by 'tree save" fences installed prior to the commencement of grading. Tree Disease Prevention and Disposal. The DEVELOPER shall prevent the introduction and spread of tree disease into the residual tree populations of the Plat and adjoining properties as well as mitigate the effects of construction activity on tree health, within and outside of the Plat. The DEVELOPER, in order to protect trees from construction damage shall: a) Install physical' barriers, such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain after initial grading. The fencing shall be located at the dripline of these 'save' trees. b) Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound dressing and will apply it immediately to damaged oak trees if wounding occurs from April 15 through July 15. c) Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. Trees in the middle twenty (20) feet of a road easement will be removed first, with remaining trees to be skidded toward the middle of the road easement. Th/s same procedure will apply to building sites. d) Mature trees, especially oak and elm, adjoining an easement so that roots enter the disturbed construction area shall first be severed by a vibratory plow to prevent shattering, scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. All exposed root zones of adjoining properties shall be immediately covered with clean topsoil and moistened to favorable conditions.
