A tree preservation and planting plan or a preservation
and selective clearing plan, prepared by or in conjunction with a
design professional, shall be shown on a copy of a preliminary plat,
sketch, or site plan, as appropriate to the proposed development,
drawn to the same scale and covering the same area as the other plan
documents prepared for the Town Council hearing. The plan may be combined
with a required buffer and landscape plan for the project, at the
option of the applicant. The plan shall provide sufficient information
and detail to clearly demonstrate that all applicable requirements
and standards of this chapter will be fully satisfied. The plan shall
contain but need not be limited to the following:
A. Project name, zone, parcel number, North arrow and
scale.
B. Applicant's name, address and telephone number.
C. Name, address, and telephone number of the design
professional responsible for the preparation of the plan.
D. Delineation of all lot lines, minimum yard areas, buffers and landscape areas as required by the Town Code. (See Chapter
275 Zoning; and Chapter
276, Buffering, Screening, and Landscaping).
E. Total acreage of the site and total lot area for each
lot delineated.
F. Delineation of all wetlands and woodlands.
G. Designation and delineation of all lots in non-woodland
areas expected to retain existing trees to meet the tree density requirement.
H. Approximate location and description of the protective
tree fencing, staking, or continuous ribbon to be installed which,
at a minimum, shall follow the drip line of all trees to be retained
along adjoining areas of clearing, grading, or other construction
activity.
I. The location, spacing, caliper dimension, and species
of new trees proposed to meet tree density requirements.
J. Measures to be taken to avoid sedimentation intrusions
and erosion in tree protection areas, and the location of such devices.
K. A summary table of the number of new trees to be planted
and minimum number of existing trees to be retained to meet the tree
density requirement, if any, along with calculations showing that
the tree density requirement has been achieved. Groupings of trees
in the tree protection areas for new trees may be keyed to the summary
table by area rather than having each tree individually labeled on
the plan.
L. There shall be a note on the plan indicating that
a one-year full-price replacement guarantee on all new trees planted
is held by the applicant and/or its assignee and an additional one-year
guarantee on replacement plants. The applicant and/or its assignee
is expected to maintain plantings, including watering all plants any
time from April to December when natural rainfall is less than one
inch per week.
M. The applicant and/or its assignee shall remove all
stakes and guy wires from trees and site one year after planting.
