(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. 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 removed or left entirely undisturbed. A written explanation shall be included with the tree survey which identifies those criteria in section 927.07 of this chapter which justify issuance of the requested permit. 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) An erosion control plan as described in section 927.07 (2)(b)2, together with reasons for clearing or grubbing of the site, if land clearing is intended. (e) The application shall be submitted and processed concurrently with site plan review or subdivision review, as the case may be, when such approvals are otherwise required to make use of the property. The site plan or subdivision preliminary plat shall be prepared in a manner to allow ready comparison with the tree survey, to assess whether the cited criteria have been met. All items shown shall be properly dimensioned, scaled and referenced to the property lines, and setback or yard requirements. If known, existing and proposed site elevations and major contours shall be included. (f) An administrative fee to offset the cost of evaluating the application shall be collected in an amount determined by resolution of the board of county commissioners. (2) The filing of an application shall be deemed to extend permission to the environmental planner to inspect the subject property if necessary for purposes of evaluating the application. (3) For those applications which are not being processed concurrently with site plan or subdivision approval, the community development department shall have ten (10) working days following receipt of a completed application within which to make a determination of whether a permit shall be issued as requested. If the permit is not issued, the environmental planner shall state in writing the reasons of denial and advise the applicant of any appeal remedies available. If no action has been taken on the application within stated time, the application shall be deemed to have been approved, and the applicant shall be entitled to issuance of the permit in accordance with the application. For good cause, the environmental planner may request an extension of an additional ten (10) working days in which to make a determination, provided the extension is requested prior to expiration of the initial ten-day period. (4) Any permit issued hereunder shall remain valid for a term of one year and may be renewable for a second one year period upon request to the environmental planner, provided said request occurs prior to the expiration date of the initial permit. The environmental planner may require reapplication and full review in those renewal cases where site conditions have changed substantially from the date of issuance of the initial permit as a result of natural growth of trees and vegetation, or high winds, hurricane, tornado, flooding, fire, or other act of God. If a permit required by this chapter has been issued concurrently with site plan or subdivision approval, then such permit shall run concurrently with the site plan or subdivision approval and shall be renewed together therewith.
