London plane trees near the western property line of the project (tree nos. <br />325-329). No tree trimming or pruning other than that specified in the tree report <br />shall occur. The project developer shall arrange for the arborist to conduct a field <br />inspection prior to issuance of grading permits to ensure that all pre-construction <br />recommendations have been properly implemented. The arborist shall certify in <br />writing to the City that such recommendations have been followed. <br />78. The project developer shall post cash, letter of credit, or other security <br />satisfactory to the Director of Planning and Community Development in the <br />amount of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) for the five existing London <br />plane trees near the western property line of the project (tree nos. 325-329) that <br />are to be retained. This cash bond or security shall be retained for one year <br />following completion of construction and shall be forfeited if the tree is removed, <br />destroyed, or disfigured. If the tree is removed, destroyed, or disfigured during <br />construction, the applicant shall pay a fine in the amount equal to the appraised <br />value of the subject tree. If the fine based on the appraised value of the tree(s) <br />exceeds the bond amount, the applicant shall pay the difference between the <br />bond and the appraised value of the subject tree(s). <br />79. Protective chain link or securely staked nylon fencing shall be installed around <br />the existing trees to be saved during all construction activities. The location of <br />said fencing shall be subject to the review and approval of the Director of <br />Planning and Community Development. In addition, the following tree <br />preservation methods shall be followed: <br />a. The applicant shall utilize its best efforts to locate any new utility trenches <br />outside the dripline of the existing trees to be saved. If this is not feasible, <br />then the applicant shall submit a report from a certified arborist acceptable to <br />the City that indicates the trenching will not be detrimental to the health of the <br />trees. <br />b. No oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other harmful materials shall be deposited or <br />disposed within the dripline of the trees or in drainage channels, swales, or <br />areas that may lead to the dripline. <br />c. No signs, wires, or ropes shall be attached to the trees. <br />d. No stockpiling/storage of construction materials, fill, etc., shall take place <br />underneath or within 5 feet of the dripline of the existing trees to be saved. <br />e. No equipment or temporary structures shall be placed within or beneath the <br />dripline of the existing trees to be saved. <br />Failure to comply with these requirements may result in a stop-work order. <br />12 <br />
