16. Tree Disease Prevention and Disnosal. 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 re:es that are to remain. The fencing <br />shall be located at the dripline of these remaining trees. <br />b. Insure that all equipment operators will have readily a,~ailable, a tree wound dressing and <br /> will apply it immediately to damaged oak trees ff wourtdJng 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 :~moved 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 vi.bratory plow to prevent shattering, <br /> scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. <br />e.

The tree inspector needs to make a site inspect[on to ascertain tree disease hazard <br /> prior to construction in order to rnin~rn~ze impact on trees adjoining easement, (including <br /> root damage and grade changes) and for disease conu:o].. An inspection to reduce or abate <br /> wood waste disposal must a/so manage air quaidty impa{x and smoke nuisance to adjoining <br /> property owners as well as ftre safety concerns. <br /> <br />Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning. Trr:nks and 1/mbs larger than six (6) <br />inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber} firewtyxt, chipped or hauled to a licensed <br />wood disposal site. Application may be made for an open burning permit to dispose of <br />brush less than six (6) inches in diameter and stump,,; with less than four feet of main <br />trunks attached.
