Resolution No. PC-01-40 Page 6 approved landscape plan plus any conditions of approval, and shall be detailed in terms of species, location, size, quantities, and spacing. 13. All trees used in landscaping shall be a minimum of 15 gallons in size and all shrubs a minimum of 5 gallons, unless otherwise shown on the approved landscape plan, or unless required as a condition of approval. 14. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the site plan shall be modified to clearly indicate the trees scheduled for removal and the trees to be preserved on the site. These modifications shall be subject to review and approval by the Planning Director. 15. No trees shall be removed other than those specifically designated for removal on the approved plans or in the tree report, unless otherwise approved by the Planning Director. The applicant shall post cash, letter of credit, or other security satisfactory to the Planning Director in the amount of $5,000 for each heritage Valley Oak tree required to be preserved (Tree #295 and Tree #299). This cash bond or security shall be retained for one year following acceptance of public improvements or completion of construction, whichever is later, and shall be forfeited if the trees are destroyed or substantially damaged. 16. Every effort shall be made to preserve Tree #296 located along the retaining wall at the front of the property; if it cannot be saved the amount of the value of the tree shall be placed in the Urban Forestry Fund. 17. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a temporary chain link fence or equivalent construction fence shall be installed around the base of Trees #297 and #299 as shown on the Tree Survey Map prepared by HortScience and around the three oak trees located immediately east of the western property line on the Kottinger Drive frontage in McKinley Park. This fencing shall be as far from the tree stem (trunk) as possible, completely surrounding the tree, and 6-8 feet in height. Fencing shall remain in place until completion of construction; removal of such fencing prior to that time may result in a "stop work" order issued by the City. 18. Once the retaining wall has been replaced on the north side of the development, a protective chain link fence shall be placed around Trees #295 and #296 at a minimum distance of 10 feet from the tree trunk. 19. The following tree preservation methods shall be followed during construction on the site. These methods shall be listed on the building permit plans and shall include, but not be limited to, the following: a. No grading and/or trenching or stockpiling of fill material may occur in the dripline of existing Valley Oak trees scheduled for preservation. b. No equipment shall be operated or stored within the dripline of any tree.
