No person may conduct any activity within the dripline of any tree designated to remain, including,
but not limited to, placing solvents, building material, construction
equipment or soil deposits within the dripline.
During construction, no person shall attach any device or wire
to any remaining tree.
Before development, land clearing, filling or any land alteration
for which a tree removal permit is required, the developer shall erect
and maintain suitable barriers to protect remaining trees. Protective
barriers shall remain in place until the Township authorizes their
removal or issues a final certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs
first. Wood, metal or other substantial material shall be utilized
in the construction of barriers. Barriers are required for all trees
designated to remain, except in the following cases:
A. Rights-of-way and easements. Street right-of-way and utility easements
may be cordoned by placing stakes a minimum of 50 feet apart and tying
ribbon, plastic tape, rope, etc., from stake to stake along the outside
perimeters of areas to be cleared.
B. Large, separate area. Large property areas separate from the construction or land clearing area onto which no equipment will venture may also be cordoned off as described in Subsection
A of this section.
