I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />i <br /> <br />18. <br /> <br />b) <br /> <br />Planting one, two-inch diameter tree (or equivalent thereof) of an approved species at <br />the road frontage or in the front yard of each of the lots in the Plat prior to the issuance <br />of a Certificate of Occupancy. In the event the weather is not conducive to tree or sod <br />planting at the time of Certificate of Occupancy, the Building Permit holder shall place <br />a cash deposit in the amount of $200.00 for trees and $100.00 for sod in an escrow <br />account with the CITY and, upon verification of the planting being accomplished, said <br />cash deposit shall be refunded to the Building Permit Holder. Failure of the Builder to <br />comply with the planting requirement within a reasonable time frame, following a <br />determination by the CITY that weather conditions are conducive to planting, shall <br />give the CITY authority to cause the planting, the cost of which shall be charged to the <br />escrow account and the Builder shall not be eligible for a refund of the cash deposit <br />made for this purpose. <br /> <br />Tree Disease Prevention and Disposal. The DEVELOPER shall prevent the <br />introduction and spread of tree disease into the residual tree populations of the Plat and <br />adjoining properties and reduce the impacts of construction on the residual property of the <br />Plat and adjoining properties. The DEVELOPER, in order to accomplish in accordance <br />with "Protecting Trees From Construction Damage," shall: <br /> <br />a) 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 />b) <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />e) <br /> <br />Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound dressing <br />and will apply it immediately to damaged oak trees if wounding occurs from April 15 <br />through July 15. <br /> <br />Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. Trees <br />in the middle twenty (20) feet of road easement will be removed first, with remaining <br />trees to be skidded toward the middle of the road easement. This same procedure will <br />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 property. <br /> <br />Recognized trees of value, suitable for tree spade removal that would otherwise be <br />destroyed, shall be identified with ribbon and offered to the CITY at least five (5) days <br />prior to destruction. <br /> <br />Tree wood removed during construction, road building and sewer/water installation, <br />shall be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Wood <br />waste disposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for oak wilt and <br />Dutch Elm disease. The tree inspector needs to make site inspection to ascertain tree <br />disease hazard prior to construction in order to minimize impact on trees adjoining the <br />easement (including root damage and grade changes), and for disease control.
