II. <br />GENERAL <br /> <br />Park Dedication. Park dedication shall be satisifed by land dedication identified as Park <br />on the Final Plat. <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 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 />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 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 />do <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 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 />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. <br /> <br />Wood waste disposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for oak <br />wilt and Dutch Elm disease. The tree inspector needs to make a site inspection to <br />ascertain tree disease hazard prior to construction in order to minimize impact on <br />trees adjoining easement, (including root damage and grade changes) and for <br />disease control. An inspection to reduce or abate wood waste disposal must also <br />manage air quality impact and smoke nuisance to adjoining property owners as well <br />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 to <br />a licensed wood disposal site. Application may be made for an open burning permit <br />to dispose of brash less than six (6) inches in diameter and stumps with less than <br />four feet of main trunks attached. The location of the proposed open burn site will <br />be specified by the City Engineer, Environmental Specialist and Fire Chief. Wood <br />disposal by burning requires whole tree volume reduction, proposed site inspection <br />prior to clearing and an open burning permit. Residual ash and unburned stumpage <br />may be buried on the site at the direction of the City Engineer. Chipped material <br />may be applied and utilized on site to mitigate root damage from grade changes of <br />the easement or right-of-way and for erosion control and top soil restoration. <br /> <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
