During the site and home construction phases of the Blackwell Park development, the Developer and Builder shall endeavor to preserve existing established trees at the edge of road right-of-ways,
common areas, and on a lot-by-lot basis within platted lots. The following standards for tree protection will be used to accomplish the preservation of trees.
The following site specific strategies will be used during construction on the site:
Tree Expert. The Developer shall engage an Arborist to determine which trees are viable for preservation based on proximity to work.
Site Construction. The Developer, the Site Contractor, the Arborist, and the Builder shall meet on the site to discuss tree protection and maintenance prior to the commencement of site
construction.
Orange construction fence shall be placed around trees that have been indicated for preservation by the Arborist in addition to the “fence placement for site construction” exhibit.
Consideration shall be given when installing utility laterals to avoid preserved trees.
The Developer shall work in conjunction with the city engineer to attempt to create a storm water storage facility in the common area that considers preservation of existing groupings
of trees.
Tree Preservation Objectives for Individual Lots. The builder/developer, in conjunction with their Arborist, shall review each lot prior to construction to flag each substantial tree
or groupings of trees that shall be preserved. The builder will use the BMP’s outlined in this document during home construction for trees indicated for preservation on the individual
lots.
Protective Fencing. Protective fencing shall be installed to clearly define trees that have been indicated for preservation by the Arborist. Prior to commencing construction, temporary
orange construction fence shall be installed around areas to be left undisturbed.
Wash-Out Area. Any “wash-out” area for trucks shall be located away from preserved trees, as approved by the Engineer.
Tree Removal. The Developer shall not remove any tree that is designated for preservation.
The Developer shall avoid the following:
Placing backfill in protected areas.
Felling trees into protected areas.
Driving construction equipment into or through protected areas.
Stacking or storing supplies in protected areas.
Removal. After construction has been completed, protective fencing and all surplus construction material shall be removed from the site in a manner that will not cause damage to preserved
trees.
Clean-up.
The Developer shall clean up all work areas.
Grades shall be restored, stabilized, and blended into the adjacent areas.
The Developer shall haul away all debris, excess dirt and construction materials and dispose of off-site.
The Developer shall seed all disturbed areas according to the instructions from the Certified Arborist.
