<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />21. Tree Disease Prevention and Disposal. The DEVELOPER shall prevent the introduction <br />and spread of tree disease into the residual tree populations of the JPlat and adjoining <br />properties as well as mitigate the effects of construction activity on tree health, within and <br />outside of the-Plat. The DEVELOPER, in order to protect trees from construction damage <br />shall: <br /> <br />a) Install physical barriers, such as snoW fence, around trees that are to remain after <br />initial grading. The fencing shall be located at the drip line of these 'save' trees. <br /> <br />b) Insure that all equipment operators will have readily available, a tree. wound dressing <br />and will apply it immediately to damaged oak trees if wounding occurs from April 15 <br />through July 15. <br /> <br />c) Insure that trees will only be skidded against other trees that are to be removed. <br />Trees in the middle twenty (20) feet of a road easement will be removed first, with <br />remaining trees to be skidded toward the middle o.f the road easement. This same <br />procedure will apply to 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 vibratory plow to prevent <br />shattering, scraping and exposure of roots of high value trees on adjoining property. <br />All exposed root zones of adjoining properties shall be immediately covered with <br />clean topsoil and moistened to favorable conditions. <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) <br />business days prior to destruction. <br /> <br />f) . Tree wood removed during construction,. road building and sewer/water installation <br />shall be buried, burned, chipped or hauled to a licensed wood disposal site. Wood <br />waste disposal must take into account tree disease control, especially for oak wilt and <br />Dutch Elm disease. The CITY will perform a site inspection to ascertain tree disease <br />hazards (including root damage and grade changes) prior to construction in order to <br />minimize impact on trees to be protected within or outside of the Plat. Wood waste <br />disposal by fire must also manage air quality impact and smoke nuisance to adjoining <br />property owners as well as fire safety concerns. <br /> <br />g) Whole trees may not be disposed of by burning. Trunks and limbs larger than six (6) <br />inches in diameter must be salvaged for lumber, firewood, chipped or hauled to a <br />licensed wood disposal site. Application may be made for an open burning permit to <br />dispose of brush less than six (6) inches in diameter and stumps with less than four.. <br />feet of main trunks attached. The location of the proposed open btin'1 site will be <br />specified by the CITY. Wood disposal by burning requires whole tree volume <br />. reduction, proposed. site inspection prior to clearing and an open burning permit. <br /> <br />.
