<br />Tree Preservation <br />Page 3 on <br /> <br />Protective Fencing - The existing healthy trees to be retained will be <br />protected from damage during construction at the drip line of the tree by <br />using orange construction fencing. A separate fence pennit will not be <br />required for construction of a fence in this case. This area should not be <br />used for trash or storage area. <br /> <br />Visibility Triangles - The enforcement officer will ensure that there is no <br />violation ofthe provisions relating to visibility triangles. <br /> <br />The owner/developer shall maintain all trees and plants on the property. If <br />any tree, shrub or ground cover plant should die, the owner shall replace <br />these plants. Any major modifications to the replacement plan must be <br />approved by the enforcement officer. <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br /> <br />Based on the above, tree preservation provisions of the current ordinance <br />are adequate but a tree replacement along with protective fencing and <br />visibility triangle ordinance, should be introduced or added to the current <br />regulations. Tree replacement will protect urban environment of the City <br />from unreasonable harm during development and pre-development activity. <br /> <br />Actions by the Commission: <br /> <br />.
