Review File: Woodlands 4th Addition Preliminary Plat Review: Tree Preservation and Landscaping September 14,2016 Page 2 of 3 be added to the plan stating that any deviation from the planting plan requires approval of the City prior to installation. The Tree Preservation Plan indicates that forty-three percent (43%) of the existing significant trees will be preserved. However, City Code requires forty percent (40%) of the Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) inches of significant trees be preserved on site. Additional information will need to be added to the Tree Preservation Plan to determine if the proposed plan complies with City Code. Specifically, a total tally of significant tree DBH inches should be added, along with a tally of inches removed and preserved, to determine whether any reforestation plantings would be necessary. It would be beneficial to also add a column identifying those trees being removed for stormwater ponding and public sidewalks/trail, as these are exempt from the removal threshold calculation. Due to the presence of larger stands of oak trees,tree clearing activities shall occur prior to April 15 or after July 15 to minimize the potential introduction of Oak Wilt to the site and this note must be added to both the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan as well as the Tree Inventory and Protection Plan. Additionally, please consult with the Certified Arborist that prepared the Tree Preservation Plan to prepare a plan that identifies the precautionary steps to be taken on site to protect oak trees from Oak Wilt. This should be included with the submittal of the Final Plat. There is floodplain across portions of the project site. There has not been a detailed study completed for this „` F flooding source and therefore, the flood zone is considered to be in the General Floodplain District. This boundary must be identified on thev � plan set. If there is any disturbance proposed within this floodplain, the � - s , Developer must complete a + ja hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to � determine the floodway and flood ._ fringe boundaries. The Cit g Y may require Elevation Certificates for certain lots, rior to the issuance of a �' " _' Z Certificate of Occupancy, depending L M 56` �-- on proximity to the floodplain boundary. Please be advised that individual lot surveys will be required to include the following information above and beyond what is typically shown: Floodplain boundary (with note of no grading within floodway), wetland, and wetland setback.
