[Ord. No. 11-2I 118 §1, 5-12-2016]
All trees, shrubs and plants designated to remain within the
public right-of-way shall be shown and clearly noted on the plans.
All other plantings shall be removed from the right-of-way. The plans
shall require that the public right-of-way be left in a finished and
neat appearing condition.
[Ord. No. 11-2I 118 §1, 5-12-2016]
As part of publicly funded utility or street improvement projects,
areas disturbed during construction shall be returned to a condition
that is equal to or better than the original site conditions. The
finish grading of disturbed areas shall match the general contours
of the surrounding area. Seeding, fertilizing, and mulching or sodding
shall be performed as described in the City of Farmington General
Conditions and Technical Specifications for Public Improvements to
establish a suitable stand of grass.
[Ord. No. 11-2I 118 §1, 5-12-2016]
A.
Whenever a publicly funded utility or street improvement is authorized,
the designer shall provide tree plantings as part of the contract.
If a project requires any tree removal, every effort should be made
to plant two (2) new trees for each tree removed. Where right-of-way
is too narrow to support tree plantings or underground and overhead
utilities interfere with potential tree plantings, the designer shall
review and consider an off-site temporary planting easement area adjacent
to the street improvement. The property owner agreeing to this temporary
planting easement shall be advised they will be responsible for the
wellbeing of the tree. Condemnation shall not be used to secure temporary
planting easements.
B.
The designer shall consult with the Director of Public Works on location,
species, and size of trees to be included in the contract. All tree
planting locations shall be approved by the Director of Public Works
to ensure they do not interfere with sight distance of motorists or
of any traffic control devices.
