Steel posts, 45 6 feet apart, orange fencing, as is requested in the new ordinance. 46 2.Per ordinance, the oak wilt season starts March 15th. Its best to wait until after that 47 date to begin working in oak trees, especially with the immediate neighbors having some 48 nice oak trees in their yards. If absolutely necessary, they can have someone on hand to 49 seal wounds per city ordinance, stumps included. 50 3.\[Mark is\] uncertain of timeline for transplanting oaks, but that should be determined as 51 springtime would be best. 52 4.Proposed fence in SW corner of property should be extended to street if catalpa is to be 53 preserved. 54 5.Proposed linden trees by north entrance may cause site line issues. Possibly some trees 55 could be planted across the street as they are on Oxford St. 56 6.Driplines are not included for trees being preserved. Ideally they would be projected onto 57 plan at 1.25 times diameter of tree per ordinance for minimum tree fencing placement 58 thresholds 59 7.Plant schedule looks good 60 PF15-015_RCA_031416-Final.doc Page 2 of 5
