A Specific or Special Purpose Survey: Including the location and species of each tree with a diameter at breast height of 10" or larger on the building site.
A Proposed Tree Protection Plan: Including the following:
(a) Existing trees proposed to be retained in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 60, Part 2D, and the approximate undisturbed area which will surround each such tree or tree grouping. This information shall be shown on the site plan.
(b) Proposed Grade Changes on the building site which may adversely affect any existing tree with a diameter at breast height of 10" or larger to be retained.
(c) Any Specimen Tree Designations being requested by the applicant (see Chapter 60, Part 2B).
Note: The indication of trees to be retained on a Site Plan indicates a commitment to attempt to protect that tree during the development process. It is recognized that some trees may die even with the best of efforts. Trees credited toward meeting the landscape requirements of any section of City Code are assessed at the time of Certificate of Occupancy, based on trees in good health at that time.
