SECTION V <br />LANDSCAPING <br /> <br />12. Tree, Shrub and Sod Planting Plan. The addition of trees, shrubs and sod to the Plat shall <br /> be in accordance with the approved Landscape Plan referenced in the Site Plan Development <br /> Permit (prepared by SEI Consulting Civil Engineers and dated September 9, 2003). The <br /> DEVELOPER is required to submit a Plan for CITY approval that identifies existing tree <br /> growth within the Plat that will be protected during construction. The trees to be protected <br /> must be identified on the grading plan, and the plan must require the installation of 'tree save <br /> fences' prior to land cleating or gradingl In addition, the requirement for this Plan shall be <br /> fulfilled by the DEVELOPER as follows: <br /> <br />a) <br /> <br />Minimizing the impact of construction on trees in accordance with Minnesota <br />Extension Service publication "Protecting Trees From Construction Damage" <br />(Publication #NR-FO-6135-S). <br /> <br />13. Tree Disease Prevention and Disposal. The DEVELOPER shall prevent the introduction <br /> and spread of tree disease into the residual tree populations of the Plat and adjoining <br /> properties as well as mitigate the effects of construction activity on tree health, within and <br /> outside of the Plat. The DEVELOPER, in order to protect trees fi.om construction damage <br /> shall: <br /> <br />a) Install physical barriers, such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain after <br /> initial grading. The fencing shall be located at the dripline of these 'save' trees. <br /> <br />b) <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 fi.om April 15 <br />through July 15. <br /> <br />Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. <br />Trees in the middle twenty (20) feet of a r6ad ~a'sement' 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 />d) <br /> <br />e) <br /> <br />Mature trees, especially oak and elm, adjoining'~an easement so that roots enter the <br />disturbed construction area shall first be sever&d by a vibratory plow to prevent <br />shattering, scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. <br />All exposed root zones of adjoining properties shall be immediately covered with <br />clean topsoil and moistened to favorable co[~ditions. <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) <br />business days prior to destruction. <br /> <br /> <br />
