In addition, the following tree <br />preservation methods shall be followed: <br /> <br />a.) The applicants shall utilize their best efforts to locate all new utility <br />trenches outside the dripline of the existing trees to be saved. If this is not feasible, <br />then the applicants shall submit a report from a certified arborist acceptable to the <br />City that indicates the trenching will not be detrimental to the health of the trees. <br /> <br />b.) No oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other harmful materials shall be deposited or <br />disposed within the dripline of the trees or in drainage channels, swales, or areas <br />that may lead to the dripline. <br /> <br />c.)

The applicants shall post cash, letter of credit, or other <br />security satisfactory to the Planning Director in the amount of $5,000 for each tree <br />required to be preserved, up to a maximum of $25,000.
