That the tree is located where it interferes with the installation, delivery, or
<br />maintenance of proposed or existing utility services to the site;
<br />That the tree is diseased, injured, or in danger of falling;
<br />7. That the tree is located on a portion of the site to be used for construction of
<br />required parking areas or vehicular and pedestrian ingress and egress areas;
<br />provided that, when this criterion is used to justify removal of a tree or trees
<br />located within required yard setback areas, the applicant shall replace any such
<br />tree or trees with an equal number of trees of similar ecological or aesthetic value,
<br />as determined by the environmental planner, unless it can be demonstrated by the
<br />applicant that the remaining site cannot be designed to accommodate and sustain
<br />the substituted tree or trees. All replacement trees shall be of a minimum four (4)
<br />inches diameter -at -breast -height (dbh);
<br />That the tree is located on a portion of the site where structural development is
<br />proposed, provided reasonable effort has been made to preserve protected trees
<br />and specimen trees to the extent feasible under this criterion.
<br />(b) Land -clearing permit. No land -clearing permit shall be issued unless the environmental
<br />planner finds that each of the following criteria has been satisfied:
<br />That the land clearing or grubbing is necessary in order to make site
<br />improvements, authorized by an approved site plan, subdivision approval,
<br />building permit, or land development permit, and that the area to be cleared is the
<br />minimum necessary for such work or, in the event the aforementioned approvals
<br />are not required by law for the intended use of the property, that the proposed
<br />clearing is the minimum necessary for the proposed use or improvement. Land
<br />clearing or grubbing of a site associated with a proposed development plan (e.g.,
<br />site plan or subdivision preliminary plat) shall not be allowed to occur prior to
<br />county approval of the applicable development plan, except as specifically exempt
<br />in section 927.06.
<br />2. That the applicant has provided a reasonable, written plan to control erosion
<br />which may be expected to occur as a result of the proposed clearing or grubbing.
<br />The plan shall incorporate some or all of the following means as determined by
<br />the applicant: temporary seeding and mulching, sodding, diversion berms,
<br />interceptor ditches, sediment barriers, sediment basins, and related appurtenances
<br />or devices. All provisions of an erosion control plan shall be incorporated as
<br />express conditions of the land -clearing permit issued and a violation of the
<br />conditions or provisions of the plan shall be considered a violation of this chapter
<br />and subject to all enforcement provisions. Environmental planning staff may
<br />request written elaboration of a proposed plan prior to issuance of a permit in
<br />order to clarify the nature and design of measures intended by the applicant.
