(c) A tree survey indicating which protected trees and specimen trees are intended for removal, relocation or alteration in any way and those which will be left undisturbed. The tree survey shall be submitted to the environmental planner with the initial application for site plan or subdivision review, as the case ma's On sites which are larger than two (2.0) acres, protected trees and specimen trees may be depicted as a group or cluster rather than as individual trees, provided the group or cluster is one which is to be either- entirely om eve o~ left entirely undisturbed. A written explanation shall be included with the tree survey ,moo- hie that identifies those criteria in section 927.07 of this chapter which justify issuance of the requested permit. In addition, the environmental planner may require tree surveys in specific, target areas. In addition to the standard tree survey described above, a survey of species of special concern, threatened, or endangered species shall be required on -sites with characteristics conducive to support such species, as identified by county environmental planning staff, in accordance with section 929.09 of Chapter 929, Upland Habitat Protection. (d) A tree protection plan. The tree protection plan shall be required as part of the tree removal permit application; except that no tree protection plan shall be required for the removal of trees from an individual single-family lot.

The applicable mitigation ratio shall be two inches dbh of replacement trees for every one -inch dbh of tree destroyed; the replacement trees must be of the same species as the trees removed and must be at least 4" caliper at time of planting_ a. When the property beingdeveloped is not appropriate for on-site mitigation, the applicant may relocate mitigation trees off site onto public lands in the County or to alternative publicly owned sites. No off-site mitigation shall be approved unless the applicant obtains written permission from the appropriate public entity to implement the necessary replanting plan. b. If the mitigation trees do not survive for a period of at least three years after initial planting or relocation, the applicant shall be required to replace the dead mitigation trees with trees -12- Underline depicts addition of text;9'�'�, „fe- gh depicts deletion of text. f '.t'omm irity Daveh}pinen.nt,SLrsiR{}I, Z D`l OK ��}??'S';ee 01-dic�i,te�7 : lit)_ 2' i—' free Ora 0(X {;a .doc
