One mature Patmore Ash will be removed from the site in addition to some scrub trees and aspens near the wetland. Two Patmore Ashes as well as other trees will be planted to replace those lost. The majority of the development area is comprised of a stormwater pond and approximately 12,000 square feet of asphalt which remains in place from the old alignment of Edgewood Drive. There are natural, undisturbed areas of native prairie and scrub trees between the old Edgewood Drive right of way and the wetland which would be impacted by the development. Every effort shall be made to preserve the trees in this area. All trees will be preserved on Outlot A, excluding those within areas to be utilized for the relocated stormwater pond and the bituminous trailway. The Developer shall address problems with infectious tree diseases as directed by the City Forester. During the lifetime of this project, If trees die due to natural causes or must be cleared because of tree diseases, the Developer shall be responsible for replacing them with trees of at least 2-1/2" caliper and of similar species, as directed by the City Forester. During construction, the Developer shall be responsible for installation of protective fencing around treed areas which are to be preserved so construction activity does not damage the trees or their root systems. The City Forester shall approve the type of fencing and its placement prior to issuance of any grading or building permits. The Developer shall be responsible for maintaining the fencing in good repair throughout construction and for assuring construction activity and the parking of equipment is kept out of these areas. 9.
