-164- 19. 20. 21. Tree Disease Prevention. The DEVELOPERS shall prevent the introduction and spread of tree disease into the residue tree populations of the Plat and adjoining properties and reduce the impacts of construction on the residual property of the Plat and adjoining properties. The DEVELOPERS in order to accomplish this shall: Install physical barriers such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain. The fencing shall be located at the dripline of these remaining trees. 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. Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. Trees in the middle twenty feet (20') of road easement will be removed first, with remaining trees to be skidded toward the middle of the road easement. This same procedure will apply to building sites. 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. Recognized trees of value, suitable for tree spade removal and that would otherwise be destroyed, shaI1 be identified with ribbon and offered to the CITY at least five (5) days prior to destruction. Tree wood removed during construction, road building and sewer/water installation shall be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber, firewood, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Application may be made for an open burning permit to dispose of brush less than six (6) inches in diameter and stumps with less than four feet of main trunks attached. The location of the proposed open burn site will be specified by the City Engineer, Environmental Specialist and Fke Chief. Wood disposal by burning requires whole tree volume reduction, proposed site inspection prior to clearing and an open burning permit. Residual ash and unburned stumpage may be buried on the site at the direction of the City Engineer. Chipped material may be aplied and utilized on site to mitigate root damage from grade changes of the easement or right-of-way and for erosion control and top soil restoration. g.
