Project plans affecting the trees shall be reviewed by the Consulting Arborist with <br /> regard to tree impacts. These include, but are not limited to, demolition plans, <br /> site plans, improvement plans, utility and drainage plans, grading plans and <br /> landscape and irrigation plans. <br /> Establish the Tree Protection Zone at the project perimeter. The project's security fence <br /> shall serve as protective fencing for off-site Callery pear#112. <br /> 2. Irrigation systems must be designed so that no trenching severs roots larger than <br /> 1" in diameter will occur within the TREE PROTECTION ZONE. <br /> 3. Tree Preservation Guidelines prepared by the Consulting Arborist, which <br /> include specifications for tree protection during demolition and construction, <br /> should be included on all plans. <br /> 4. Any herbicides placed under paving materials must be safe for use around trees <br /> and labeled for that use. <br /> 5. Do not lime the subsoil within 50' of any tree. Lime is toxic to tree roots. <br /> 6. As trees withdraw water from the soil, expansive soils may shrink within the root <br /> area. Therefore, foundations,footings and pavements on expansive soils near <br /> trees should be designed to withstand differential displacement. <br />hat intersection is already horrible. So <br /> you may be talking two more cars to 13 and you're on Owens, and if you block Hopyard we're <br /> going to be hearing it forever and I would hate to vote in favor of a project that would do that. <br /> Again, my comment about the plans labeled "Owens Court." Starbucks has a base for your <br /> evaluation as Bernal. I do worry that that is not comparable for the traffic and my only comment <br /> to that is I avoid that Starbucks because of its location and its circulation pattern. So I'm not <br /> being counted in there because it's so deep and so tricky to get through that parking lot to get <br /> to that Starbucks buried in there that I think we're misrepresenting what we might see here <br /> with the prominent freeway access and the volume of traffic going down Hopyard. <br /> Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 19 of 20 <br />lanning Commission <br /> Page 11 of 19 <br />
