The quantity, location, and mix of tree sizes shall be subject to the review and approval of the Planning Director with the goal of providing effective screening, both in the short-term and long-term, of houses from off-site. Particular attention shall be given to screening lots 20 through 27, 30 through 38, 45, 48, and 49 of Tract 6033. If necessary to achieve this objective, the plans for the middle bench and street trees shown on the Landscape Improvements Phase I plan, dated 8-25-89, shall be revised." 2. The developer shall submit to the Planning Director, within two weeks of approval of PUD-85- 15-2M by the City council, a timetable stating dates by which the required tree plans will be completed and submitted to the Planning Director and dates by which the trees are expected to be planted. The developer shall also provide a satisfactory security to the City to ensure the tree planting. 3. Each homeowner of the 20 impact lots shall install and maintain a minimum of six 36-inch box trees as part of the individual site landscape plan, as specified in the Golden Eagle Farm Landscape Design and Irrigation Guidelines. At least three shall be located on the side of the house visible from the valley floor and shall be designed to soften/screen the appearance of the house. Three of the six trees should be part of a mutually acceptable plan between the developer and the homeowner as to the developer compensating the homeowner. Additionally, all existing trees shall be shown on the landscape plans and tree reports shall be provided with design review applications where any construction or grading may occur within driplines of existing trees. Every effort shall be made to save all existing trees, especially heritage trees, including relocating structures, driveways, and other improvements outside of driplines. 4. The developer shall investigate the feasibility of transplanting mature oak trees from open space wooded areas to areas on the north and middle benches to assist in screening new houses. The determination of feasibility shall be made by the Director of planning based on cost and longevity of tree life. Any such tree transplanting shall be shown on the plan referenced in Condition Number 1 and shall be included in the security required in Condition Number 2.
