11. Significant Tree Preservation and Replacement. <br />a. Existing Trees. With respect to existing trees in new <br />developments, all trees on the site are to be saved <br />which do not have to be removed for street, buildings, <br />utilities, drainage or active recreational purposes. <br />Trees over six (6) inches in diameter that are to <br />remain are to be marked with a red band and to be <br />protected with snow fences or other suitable enclosure <br />prior to any excavation. The City may further require <br />that the developer retain a professional forester to <br />prepare a forest inventory and management plan for the <br />development, in order to control and abate any existing <br />or potential shade tree disease. <br />Prior to construction, the developer or contractor <br />shall schedule an on -site inspection with the Building <br />Official to identify significant trees to be removed. <br />Significant trees shall be defined as those existing <br />trees of six (6) caliper inches or more, as measured <br />one foot above the existing grade level. All such <br />trees to be removed to accommodate the project shall be <br />tagged and catalogued by size. The landscape plan <br />shall be required to show replacement of the lost <br />significant trees on a 100 percent caliper inch basis, <br />up to a maximum 30 caliper inches per acre of aggregate <br />disturbed area. <br />Page 7 <br />
