ee <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />The tree protection plan shall be submitted on a copy of a preliminary plat <br />drawn to the same scale as the other plan documents prepared for a land <br />disturbance permit application On the property, and shall cover the same <br />area. The plan must be combined with a required buffer and landscape plan <br />for the project. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation Specifications Contents <br /> <br />Delineation of all areas located within a 100 year flood plain. <br /> <br />A tree survey overlay on the plat, which locates all trees identified by <br />diameter and species. Dead or diseased trees shall be identified. All tree <br />surveys for subdivisions involving the construction of roads or drainage <br />easements shall be performed by a licensed, registered forester and shall <br />have the accuracy of plus or minus three feet (+/-3'); <br /> <br />Existing general soil Conditions throughout the parcel. <br /> <br />Existing contour data for the entire property with a vertical contour data at <br />an interval of no more than one foot for all areas to be disturbed by proposed <br />tree removal operations, extending for a distance of at least fifty feet beyond <br />the limits of such areas. Indicated elevations shall be based on United States <br />Geological Survey data. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation: Encroachment <br /> <br />If encroachment into a tree protection area occurs which causes irreparable <br />damage to the trees, the tree protection plan shall be revised to compensate <br />for the loss. Under no circumstances shall the developer be relieved of <br />responsibility for compliance with the provisions of this ordinance, nor shall <br />planned revision activities stop the Environmental Specialist from instituting <br />action for violation of this ordinance. <br /> <br />Disease or Insect Control Intent <br /> <br />The intent of this ordinance is to control epidemic tree diseases and insect <br />infestations that threaten the health of trees in the community. <br /> <br />Street Trees Intent <br /> <br />It is the intent of this ordinance to provide or cross reference regulations that <br />ensure the placement of trees along the street right-of-way for the purpose of <br />protecting against excessive noise, heat, and glare and to enhance the <br />attractiveness and value of property. <br /> <br />Typically, street trees should be planted inside property lines where they are <br />less likely to grow up into the power lines, to decrease the chance of motor <br />accidents, avoid conflict with street utilities and snow removal and to are <br />located where they would probably enjoy more favorable conditions for <br />growth. <br /> <br />Page 3 o£24 <br /> <br /> <br />
