Attachment D <br />Attachment B <br />8. <br />Replacement Tree Locations. Required replacement trees shall be planted on the <br />333 <br />site being developed unless doing so is deemed to be impractical (i.e. due to lack of <br />334 <br />space), inappropriate (available planting areas are not ideal for new plantings or <br />335 <br />would do little to enhance the site), or counterproductive to a property’s intent (i.e. <br />336 <br />would entail too much screening for a retail business) as determined by the City <br />337 <br />Forester or other registered forester or certified arborist as assigned by the <br />338 <br />Community Development Department. When such a determination is made, the <br />339 <br />applicant shall comply with replacement requirements in one of two ways: <br />340 <br />a.As directed by the City, required replacement trees may be located on public <br />341 <br />boulevards or other public lands throughout the City if such lands are deemed <br />342 <br />to be available; or <br />343 <br />b.The city may accept a cash in lieu payment in accordance with the required fee <br />344 <br />listed in the City Fee Schedule. <br />345 <br />K.Tree Protection Required <br />346 <br />All trees which are to be retained on a site shall be marked and physically protected <br />347 <br />from harm or destruction caused by soil compaction, equipment and material storage <br />348 <br />within a tree’s identified protection zone, bark abrasions, changes in soil chemistry, <br />349 <br />out-of-season pruning, and root damage during construction. <br />350 <br />1. <br />Before any construction or grading of any development project occurs, a “safety <br />351 <br />fence” per the approved tree preservation plan shall be erected meeting the <br />352 <br />following requirements: <br />353 <br />a.Must be at least 4 feet in height and staked with posts no less than every 5 feet. <br />354 <br />b.Shall be placed around the identified protection zone(s) of trees to be preserved <br />355 <br />per the approved tree preservation plan. <br />356 <br />c.Signs shall be placed along the fence line identifying the area as a tree <br />357 <br />protection area, and prohibiting development activities beyond the fence line. <br />358 <br />2. <br />The tree protection fencing shall remain in place until all grading and construction <br />359 <br />activity is terminated; failure to maintain tree protection fencing shall be grounds <br />360 <br />for issuance of a stop work order. <br />361 <br />3. <br />No equipment, construction materials, or soil may be stored within the identified <br />362 <br />protection zone of any inventoried tree to be preserved. <br />363 <br />4. <br />Care must be taken to prevent a change in soil chemistry due to concrete washout <br />364 <br />and leakage or spillage of toxic materials such as fuels or paints. <br />365 <br />5. <br />Drainage patterns on the site shall not change considerably causing drastic <br />366 <br />environmental changes in the soil moisture content where trees are intended to be <br />367 <br />preserved. <br />368 <br />1113 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
