A detailed plan to protect and preserve trees before, during and in perpetuity after construction, which plan shall contain the following information: 325 | P a g e Article Eleven. Procedures and Permits i. All items found on the Erosion, Sedimentation and Pollution Control Submittal checklist pertinent to normal plan review. ii. Site area (roads, utility lines, detention ponds, etc.) iii. The locations of existing and proposed structures, paving, driveways, cut and fill area, detention areas, etc. iv. Phase lines or limits of construction. v. A delineation of all protected zones with any required dimensions. vi. Calculations showing compliance with the required canopy coverage using existing trees, and/or replacement trees vii. Location of all existing and proposed utility lines or easements. viii. Locations of any boring sites for underground utilities. ix. Location of all Specimen Trees and indications whether they are to be removed or preserved. x. Locations of all tree protection devices, materials to be used in each location and details. xi. A delineation of a Tree Save Area in which trees have been inventoried for canopy coverage calculations. xii. If applicable, locations and details of all permanent tree protection measures (tree wells, aeration system, permeable paving, retaining walls, bollards, etc.; and xiii. All proposed plantings per Article 7. xiv. Additional information as required on a case-by-case basis. (The above items may be integrated into the normal application requirements and submittal.)
