30. Prior to construction, temporary six-foot tall chain link fencing or other fence type acceptable to the Planning Director shall be installed around the existing trees to be saved. The final location of said fencing shall be subject to the review and approval of the Planning Director. Fencing shall remain in place until final inspection by the Planning Department; removal of said fencing prior to that time may result in a "stop work" order. In addition, the following tree preservation methods shall be followed for the existing trees to be preserved: a. The applicant shall utilize his best efforts to locate any new utility trenches outside the drip line of the existing trees to be saved. If this is not feasible, then the applicant shall submit a report from a certified arborist acceptable to the City that indicates the trenching will not be detrimental to the health of the trees. b. No oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other harmful materials shall be deposited or disposed within the dripline of the trees or in drainage channels, swales, or areas that may lead to the dripline. c. No signs, wires, or ropes shall be attached to the trees. d. No stockpiling/storage of construction materials, fill, etc., shall take place underneath or within 5' of the dripline of the existing trees. e. No equipment or temporary structures shall be placed within or beneath the dripline of the existing trees. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a "stop-work" order. 31. If grading or tree removal is to occur 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 14 days and no more than 30 days prior to the beginning of grading or tree removal. If nesting raptors are found during the focused survey, no grading or tree removal shall occur within 500 feet of an active nest until the young have fledged (as determined by a qualified biologist), or until the project applicant receives written authorization from California Department ofFish and Game to proceed. If the removal of nest trees is unavoidable, they shall be removed during the non- breeding season. 32. Prior to the demolition of any existing structure located on the subject property, the project developer shall have the structures examined for the presence of bats; if found, the developer shall prepare an appropriate mitigation plan for review and approval by the Planning Director prior to any demolition work.
