The final improvement plans shall show the storm drain line outside the ddplines of trees 147-150 and the boundary of Lot 9 entirely outside of the dr/pline of Tree 152. All recommendations of the "Tree Report" shall be followed. The project developer shall post cash, letter of credit, or other security satisfactory to the Planning Director in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each tree required to be preserved, up to a maximum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). This cash bond or security shall be retained for one (1) 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. 32. 33. 34. Construction of the proposed project could result in the disturbance of active raptor nests, which are protected under California State Fish and Game (CSFG) Code Section Code Section 3503.5. If grading is to begin during the raptor nesting season (February I to August 31), a focused survey for raptor nests shall be conducted by a qualified biologist during the nesting season. The survey shall be conducted no less than fourteen (14) days, and no more than thirty (30) days, prior to the beginning of grading and/or tree removal. If nesting raptors are found during the focused survey, no grading or lxee removal shall occur within five hundred feet (500' 0") of an active nest until the young have fledged - as determined by a qualified biologist - or until the project developer receives written permission from CSFG personnel to proceed. The written findings of the biologist shall be provided to the Planning Director within thirty (30) days of the start of grading. The project developer shall submit the improvement plans, tract grading plans, and building permit construction plans to Hortscience for review in order Io determine that site-specific measures required to preserve the existing trees designated for preservation during construction are being implemented with the plans. The consultant's comments shall be submitted to the Plarming Director and to the City's Landscape Architect and shall be incorporated onto the final site plans, grading plans, improvement plans, etc., prior to issuance of a grading, on-site, and/or building permits. No tree-trimming and/or priming shall occur unless supervised by a horticultural consultant. The project developer shall arrange for the consultant to conduct a field inspection of the construction site(s) prior to issuance of grading permits to ensure that all recommendations have been properly implemented. The consultant shall then certify in writing to the Planning Director that the recommendations have been followed. Conditions of Approval Page 14 of 28 8/12/02 Greenbriar Homes (PUD- 14)
