fol/owing priority shall be considered when ana/yzing options for
exceptions:
i. Setbacks.
2. Encroachment into oak tree drip lines provided that the mitigations
recommended by a qualified arborist are implemented so thaf such

3. Removal of isolated oak trees, mitigateal with a three-to-one replacement

� Prior to any grading or other construction, the developer shall submit a tree removal
and protection plan showing in detail the location of all trees, including the approximate
size and location of the trunks and drip lines, within 100 feet of any proposed roadway
or other cut, fill or trench. Said plan shall indicate which trees are intended to be

removed or pruned during construction. The developer shall mark in the field the trees
which are intended to be removed or pruned and those which may have construction
activity occur within their drip lines.
The plan shall also include protection measures for the trees which are not to be
disturbed, including but not limited to marking of trees to be saved, fencing of trees
which might be damaged during construction and other methods to help ensure the
survival of as many trees as practical. The plan shall be prepared by a qualified
botanist or licensed arborist, and shall be subject to the review and approval of the
Planning Director, in consultation with the Parks and Recreation Director.
13. On any lot that contains an oak tree over two inches in diameter, all construction,
grading and filling shall avoid the drip lines of said trees, to the extent possible. A
specific site plan shall be submitted to the Planning Director for review and approval
which will identify the location, both trunk and drip line, of all trees. If encroachment
into the drip line is unavoidable, a certified arborist shall be retained at the applicant's
expense, to determine the best way to mitigate such impact.
If building envelopes and recommended mitigation measures cannot be designed to
completely avoid tree removal, a tree replacement program shall be required, in
accordance with Mitigation 14, below.
14. If it is impractical to retain any tree with a trurik diameter of greater than two inches but
less than six inches in its place, whether during construction of the subdivision
improvements or residences on the lot, the tree shall be dug carefulfy and boxed by an
experienced company or individual approved by the City Planning Director, set aside
and replanted in the same general area when filling or grading is complete, if deemed
feasible by a certified arborist.
For any tree greater than two inches in diameter permanently lost, three replacement
trees shall be planted in the general vicinity for each tree removed. When practical,
two of the replacements should come from seeds of trees on the tract so that the new
trees are as genetically similar to the old as possible. One replacement shall be a 15-
gallon size or larger tree. Planting should be done in the fall so that the trees may
become established before the hot, dry summer. The developers shall retain a
qualified nursery or arborist to plant, grow and make available for at least five years,
oak trees from onsite acorns which can be used as replacements by lot owners for
trees that must be removed. The developer may grow replacement trees onsite, in a
location and manner recommended by a certified arborist.
15. For both subdivision improvements and construction on individual lots, each tree or
group of trees designated to remain shall be protected by fencing prior to the beginning
of construction. The location of the fence shall be five feet beyond the drip line of the
tree� to the extent possible.
16. No parking of vehicles or equipment or storage of materials shall be permitted within
five feet of the drip line of the trees designated to remain.
17. In the event underground utilities must be placed within the drip line of the trees to
remain, the utilities shall be installed by auguring to twenty-four inches minimum depth
or by hand trenching. If roots over one-inch in diameter are encountered, the roots
shall be preserved without injury. No machine trenching shall be allowed within a
tree's drip line. �
18. Landscaping that requires permanent or ongoing irrigation shall be prohibited within the
drip lines of oak trees. Project CC & R's and the Design Guidelines shall include
measures for ongoing protection of oak trees on individual lots as part of future home
construction, including the prohibition of irrigated landscaping in drip lines and the
requirements of Mitigation Measures Nos. 13-17, above.
