Resolution No. PC-2003-01 Page 13 Existing Trees: 38. The project developer shall submit an updated tree report for the existing trees located on this property including an inventory of the trees that were located in the Vineyard Avenue right-of- way with the final subdivision map for review and approval by the Planning Director. The report shall inventory each tree as to location, species, size, health, value, and disposition. No trees shall be removed other than those specifically permitted for removal. The project developer shall post cash, letter of credit, or other security satisfactory to the Planning Director in the amount of $5,000 for each tree required to be preserved, up to a maximum of $25,000. 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. 39. The removal of a heritage tree shall be mitigated in conformance to the standards of the Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan and Final EIR. For the orchard trees and non-heritage/non- orchard trees to be removed from the subject property in conjunction with this development, the project developer shall replace these trees on a replacement ratio of one, 24-inch box-size tree for each tree being removed. These replacement trees shall be shown on the improvement plans for this development before issuance of a grading/on-site permit. 40. The project developer shall submit the improvement plans, tract grading plans, and building permit construction plans to HortScience for review in order to 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 Planning 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. If the lots are to be developed individually, this requirement shall be implemented by the individual lot developer. 41. No tree trimming and/or pruning would occur unless supervised by a horticultural consultant. The project developer would 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 would then certify in writing to the Planning Director that the recommendations have been followed. 42. For the existing trees that would be located on private lots, the project developer shall record a disclosure/deed restriction on the lot stating that the existing trees on these lots are to be preserved and maintained by the homeowner. The disclosure/deed restriction shall state the measures to be employed by the homeowner to preserve these trees, e.g., not planting turf beneath the drip line/canopy of an existing oak tree. The disclosures/deed restriction shall also describe the permit procedures for removing any existing tree. The disclosures/deed restrictions shall be submitted to the City Attorney and to the Planning Director for review and approval before recordation. 43. At the final map stage, the value of the heritage trees to be removed, not including orchard trees, shall be appraised to the satisfaction of the Planning Director and the City's Landscape Architect and shall be paid to the City's Urban Forestry Fund at the time of recordation of the final subdivision map.
