A tree plan shall identify: <br />a. The basic use area. <br />b. The disturbance area. <br />c. Tree size (dbh), species, condition, location, and root protection zone (5' out <br />from the drip line) for all deciduous trees over 6" dbh or evergreen trees greater than 12' tall to <br />be preserved, or; <br />d. The combined root protection zone of all stands of trees designated for <br />preservation, whichever is applicable. <br />e. Location and type of tree protection fence. <br />f. Staging areas. <br />g. Temporary construction access routes when temporary site access is <br />necessary within root protection zone of any tree or tree stand designated for preservation. <br />i.

Temporary access roads shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet in width <br />and shall be delineated by snow fencing or safety fencing. <br />iii.
