adjoining properties and reduce the impacts of construction on the residual property of <br />the Plat and adjoining properties. The DEVELOPERS in order to accomplish this shall: <br /> <br />Install physical barriers, such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain. The <br />fencing shall be located at the dripline of these remaining trees. <br /> <br />Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound <br />dressing and will apply it immediately to damaged oak trees if wounding occurs <br />from April 15 through July 15. <br /> <br />Co <br /> <br />Insure that trees will only be s.kidded against other trees that are to be removed. <br />Trees in the middle twenty (20) feet of a road easement will be removed first, with <br />remaining trees to be skidded toward the middle of the road easement. This same <br />procedure will apply to building sites. <br /> <br />Mature trees, especially oak and elm, adjoining an easement so that roots enter the <br />disturbed construction area shall first be severed by a vibratory plow to prevent <br />shattering, scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining <br />property. <br /> <br />Recognized trees of value, suitable for tree spade removal, that would otherwise <br />be destroyed shall be identified with ribbon and offered to the CITY at least five <br />(5) business days prior to destruction. <br /> <br />Tree wood removed during construction, road building and sewer/water <br />installation shall be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal <br />site. <br /> <br />Wood waste disposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for <br />oak wilt and Dutch Elm disease. The tree inspector needs to make a site <br />inspection to ascertain tree disease hazard prior to construction in order to <br />minimize impact on trees adjoining easement, (including root damage and grade <br />changes) and for disease control. An inspection to reduce or abate wood waste <br />disposal must also manage air quality impact and smoke nuisance to adjoining <br />property owners as well as fire safety concerns. <br /> <br />Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six <br />(6) inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber, firewood, chipped or hauled <br />to a licensed wood disposal site. Application may be made for an open burning <br />permit to dispose of brush less than six (6) inches in diameter and stumps with <br />less than four feet of main trunks attached. The location of the proposed open <br />bum site will be specified by the City Engineer, Environmental Specialist and Fire <br />Chief. Wood disposal by burning requires whole tree volume reduction, proposed <br />site inspection prior to clearing and an open burning permit. Residual ash and <br />unburned stumpage may be buried on the site at the direction of the City <br /> <br /> <br />
