53. The project developer shall post cash, letter of credit, or other security satisfactory to the Planning Director in the amount of the valuation of each tree identified in the HTMP should any work, utilities or otherwise, be conducted within an area in which potential impacts may be anticipated. This cash bond or security shall be retained for two years following acceptance of public improvements or completion of construction, whichever is later, and shall be forfeited if the trees are destroyed or substantially damaged. In the event any trees are destroyed or substantially damaged, an arborists' assessment, at the developer's expense, shall be required to determine the value of the damage or loss and the resultant sum paid to the City's Urban Forestry Fund or used for the suitable mitigation by planting specimen trees on-site, as determined by the Planning Director. 54. A final landscape plan and temporary irrigation plan for the open space areas surrounding the 51 lots covered by this development shall be submitted to and approved by the City's Landscape Architect and the Planning Director as part of the improvement plans prior to recordation of the final subdivision map. The landscape plan shall be consistent with the "Oak Grove Open Space & Common Area Design Guidelines", HTMP, and the BOWMP, plus the following conditions: a. To compensate for the habitat values lost from the removal of blue oak woodland, heritage-size, and non-heritage size trees due to the project's development, the project developer shall replace these trees removed with development, with a combination of "TreePot", 5-gallon, 15-gallon, and 24- inch box-size native specimen trees at a ratio to be determined by the Planning Director and the City Landscape Architect. The project developer shall plant the replacement trees in the development's open space areas with the first phase of subdivision construction, and shall maintain, replace, and irrigate the replacement trees by a temporary irrigation system as determined by the City Landscape Architect for five years after installation and until the planting is accepted by the Director of Parks and Community Services. (Mitigation Measure D-10 of the FEIR.) b. The project developer shall install the temporary irrigation system after grading is completed and with the first phase of the subdivision's construction. The project developer shall maintain and repair the irrigation system for the five-year time-period until the tree planting is accepted by the City when the irrigation lines shall be abandoned and the water meters removed. The irrigation systems shall be supervised by separate water meters, their locations shown on the improvement plans to the satisfaction of the City Engineer before the approval of the final subdivision map. The plans shall be detailed in terms of species, location, size, quantities, and spacing. The Planning Director may modify the final locations of the replacement trees to screen the lots from off-site views. The final tree locations shall be shown on a revised plan before planting.
