City Engineer's estimate to construct the eight foot wide pedestrian path. In the event it is <br />determined by the CITY that the construction of the pedestrian path is not feasible, the <br />escrow shall be returned to the DEVELOPER. <br /> <br />GENERAL <br /> <br />18.Tree Disease Prevenlion and Dis0osal, 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 />a. install physical barriers, such as snow fence, around trees that are to remain. The fencing <br />shall be located at the dripline of these remaining trees. <br /> <br />b. Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree wound dressing and <br /> will apply it immediately to damaged oak 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 /> 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 vibrator), 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 /> prior to construction in order to minimize impa'ct on trees adjoining easement, (including <br /> root damage and grade 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 well as fire safety concerns. <br /> <br /> Whole trees ma5, not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) <br /> <br /> <br />
