18.Tree Disease Prevenlion and Disoosal. 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" (attached hereto as Exhibit 'A'), shall: <br /> <br />a. Install physical barriers, such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain. The fencing <br /> shall be located at the dfipline of these remaining trees. <br /> <br />b. Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound dressing and <br /> wilt apply it immediately to damaged o',.d: trees if wounding occurs from April 15 through <br /> July 15. <br /> <br />c. Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. Trees in <br /> <br /> the middle twenty (20) feet of a road easement will be removed first, with remaining trees <br /> to be skidded toward the middle of the road easement. This same procedure will apply to <br /> building sites. <br /> <br />d. Mature trees, especially oak and elm, adjoining an easement so that roots enter the <br /> disturbed construction area shall first be severed by a vibrato,"-3, plow to prevent shattering, <br /> scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. <br /> <br />e. 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 />f. Tree wood removed during construction, road building and sewer/water installation shall <br /> be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Wood waste <br /> disposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for oak wilt and Dutch Elm <br /> disease. The tree inspector needs to make a site inspection to ascertain tree disease hazard <br /> pr/or to construction in order to minimize impact on trees adjoining easement, (including <br /> root damage and ~ade changes) and for disease control. An inspection to reduce or abate <br /> wood waste disposal must also manage air quality impact and smoke nuisance to adjoining <br /> property owners as v,,ell as fire safety concerns. <br /> <br /> Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) <br /> inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber, firewood, chipped or hauled to a licensed <br /> wood disposal site. Application ma), be made fo.'- an open burning permit to dispose of <br /> brush less than six (6) inches in diameter and stumps with less than four feet of main <br /> trunks attached. The location of the proposed open burn site will be specified by the City <br /> Engineer, EnvironmentaJ Specialist and Fire Chief. Wood disposal by burning requires <br /> whole tree volume reduction, proposed site inspection pr/or to clearing and an open <br /> <br /> <br />
