General Comments:
Tree Protection- Coordinate with the project arborist prior to opening,adjusting or removing tree protection fencing,and prior to grading beneath the dripline of
protected trees, if grading is necessary.
Planted Trees-Coordinate with the project arborist if planted tree species substitutions are necessary;the site must be planted in accordance with the approved Tree
Canopy Site Plan in terms of species,quantities and locations,or with substitute species that provide equivalent tree canopy cover in order to avoid modifications to the
approved Urban Forestry Plan. Root barriers are required within 5-feet of hard surfacing paving and utilities.
