Tree Disease Prevention and Disposal. The DEVELOPER shall prevent the introduction and spread of tree disease into the residual tree populations of the Plat and adjoining properties and reduce the impacts of construction on the residual property of the Plat and adjoining properties. The DEVELOPER in order to accomplish this shall: Install physical barriers, such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain. The fencing shall be located at the dripline of these remaining trees. be Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound dressing and will apply it immediately to damaged oak trees if wounding occurs from April 15 through July 15. Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. Trees in the middle twenty (20) feet of a road easement will be removed first, with remaining trees to be skidded toward the middle of the mad easement. This same procedure will apply to building sites. Mature trees, especially oak and elm, adjoining an easement so that roots enter the disturbed construction area shall first be severed by a vibratory plow to prevent shattering, scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. Recognized trees of value, suitable for tree spade removal, that would otherwise be destroyed shall be identified with ribbon and offered to the CITY at least five (5) business days prior to destruction. Tree wood removed during conslruction, road building and sewer/water installation shall be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site.

An inspection to reduce or abate wood waste disposal must also manage air quality impact and smoke nuisance to adjoining property owners as well as f~re safety concerns. Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning.. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber, firewood, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site.

The location of the proposed open bum site will be specified by the City Engineer, Environmental Specialist and Fire Chief.
