With respect to existing trees in new developments, all trees on the site are to be saved which do not have to be removed for street, buildings, utilities, drainage or active recreational purposes. Trees over six (6) inches in diameter that are to remain, are to be marked with a red band and be protected with snow fences or other suitable enclosure prior to any excavation. The City may further require that the developer retain a professional forester to prepare a forest inventory and management plan for the development in order to control and abate any existing or potential share tree disease. Prior to construction, the developer or contractor must schedule an on -site inspection with the Building Official to identify significant trees to be removed. Significant trees are defined as those existing trees of six (6) caliper inches or more, as measured one foot above the existing grade level. All such trees to be removed to accommodate the project shall be tagged and catalogued by size. The landscape plan shall be required to show replacement of the lost significant trees on a 100 percent caliper inch basis, up to a maximum 30 caliper inches per acre of aggregate disturbed area. Setbacks. All proposed building and parking area setbacks have been found to conform to the minimum ordinance standards. Grading and Drainage. Grading and drainage plans have been prepared for review. The City Engineer will review plans and make recommendations as part of this development stage review. The grading plan shows that development will retain the high elevations around the perimeter, using these for building sites and leaving the low middle lands including the existing pond as open space. One access road is proposed to cut through the open middle low area. The road elevation fill appears to create a new pond north of the existing pond. The building area for buildings 4 and 5 will require some fill extending into the middle to increase the building pad area. Signage. If any signage is proposed for this site, developer must submit a detailed signage plan indicating the type, size and location of all signage which is to occur on site. Building Materials. All buildings in this area are subject to the construction requirements of this Business District. Elevation plans have not been received so no comment can be made regarding construction. Building elevation plans must be submitted to the City Building Inspector for review. Development Contract. All aspects of this development will be controlled by a development contract. This contract will include all the various plans which must be submitted for review. 3 Page 26
