• Prior to the commencement of land clearing activities, a pre -construction
meeting must be scheduled with ERD staff. PLEASE CONTACT TOM
REHYANSKY AT 772-462-1685 TO SCHEDULE THIS MEETING.
• The removal of 42,843 inches of trees is proposed to be mitigated for by
the preservation of 39,103 inches of trees and the planting of 3,750 inches
on -site.
• A conspicuous, suitable protective barrier (highly visible so that
equipment operators can see the limits of permitted construction activity)
shall be placed and maintained around the perimeter of the protected area
to form a continuous unbroken boundary, around individual protected
trees at a minimum distance of ten (10) feet from the radius of the dripline
from all protected trees prior to the commencement of onsite construction
activities.
• Protective barriers shall remain in place until issuance of a certificate of
occupancy. In the event that any protective barriers are removed or
altered all land clearing and site alteration work will be stopped until the
barriers are restored and any necessary corrective actions taken to repair
or replant any vegetation removed or damaged as a result of these
encroachments.
• The tree preservation area shall be maintained in its natural state so as
not to alter the water and oxygen content of the soil and impair its natural
function.
• No grade changes or excavation of any sort may be made within the
barricaded areas.
• An area as large as possible should be given to individual trees
preservation areas, at least encompassing the dripline areas of the tree's
crowns'.
• Typically tree roots extend far beyond --the crown of the tree, if any
excavation or other activities are expected outside of the dripeline, the
roots should first be pruned (to the depth of required excavation) to severe
them cleanly (large concrete saws can be effective).
• If underground utilities must be routed through a protected root zone area,
tunneling under the roots shall be required.
• No soil shall be removed from within a vegetation preservation area.
• No fill material, construction material, concrete, paint, chemicals, or
other foreign materials shall be stored, deposited or disposed of
within a vegetation preservation area.
• No signs, permits, wires, or other attachments shall be affixed or attached
to protected vegetation.
• No equipment, including passenger vehicles, shall be driven, parked, or
stored or repaired within designated vegetation preservation areas.
