The City requires all tree material to be <br />utilized down to six,inches in diameter. The remaining material may be chipped or burned. If <br />burned, it will requir~ a burning permit with an application fee of approximately $25 plus a fee of <br />$5 per cubic yard. l~dditionally, demonstrated tree preservation success can enable the City to <br />waive the placementlof an approved two-inch tree on those lots with existing trees. <br /> <br />The final general issue relative to the landscape plan is oak wilt. Chestnut Ridge's peninsula is <br />identified as an oak jvilt inf~tion center on State and City maps. City Code requires landowners to <br />control oak wilt in the City s Disease Control zones (all areas within the MUSA and all PUDs). <br />Fortunately, the Cit~ was successful in procuring federal dollars to cost share oak wilt control <br />work. Public awareness of oak wilt has increased, and developers report that having the <br />subclivision evaluateJ[l or control work done is nearly essential for sales of lots with oaks. <br /> <br />The oak wilt assessrfient may find the disease already under control which, of course, would mean <br />the above requirerrients would be fulfilled and, consequently, prospective buyer's concerns <br />allayed. <br /> <br />Enclosed for your information is "Protecting Trees from Construction Damage".
