The DEVELOPER in order to accomplish in accordance with "Prorating Trees From Construction Damage" (attached hereto as Exhibit 'A'), shall: b$ Install p~hysical 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 ail equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound dressing and williapply it immediately to damaged oak trees if wounding occurs from April 15 through July 15. Insure ~at trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. Trees in the rn~ddle twenty (20) feet of a road easement will be removed fn'st, with remaining trees to be skidded toward the middle of the road easement. This same procedure will apply tolbuilding sites. Mature Fees, especially oak and elm, adjoining an easement so that roots enter the disturb .~l construction area shall fLrst be severed by a vibratory plow to prevent shatterir~g, scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. Recognfzed trees of value, suitable for tree spade removal that would otherwise be destroy,gl, shall be identified with ribbon and offered to the CITY at least five (5) days prior to ~testruction. Tree wc~od removed during construction, road building and sewer/water installation shall be~I buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Wood waste ~sposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for oak wilt and Dutch E~m disease. The tree inspector needs to make a site inspection to ascertain tree disease hazard prior to construction in order to minimize impact on trees adjoining easemeat, (including root damage and grade changes) and for disease control. An inspection to reduce or abate wood waste disposal must also manage air quality impact and smc~e nuisance to adjoining property owners as well as fire safety concerns. [ Whole ti. ecs may not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) inches iff 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 Irunks attached. The location of the proposed open burn site will be specified by the City Engineer, Environmental Specialist and Fire Chief. Wood disposal by burning ~equires whole tree volume reduction, proposed site inspection prior to clearing and an O~pen burning permit. Residual ash and unburned stumpage may be buried on the site at the direction of the City Engineer. Chipped material may be applied and
