Comment 19: landscaping and tree establishment is seasonal -dependent on <br /> weather. <br /> 'Eroding: I agree. New trees have the best chance of survival if planted when they <br /> f are dormant in the late fall and winter months. R-7.280-D.7.1, which specifies the limits <br /> of the planting seasons for various types of trees, was included for just this reason. <br /> <br /> ~ ~ ent 20: Do not require the establishment of street trees, landscape and <br /> irrigation systems until home is completed. <br /> k finding: Neither the Eugene Code, 1971 provisions nor the implementing rules <br /> require the planting of the street trees prior to the completion of the home. However, the <br /> Code provisions do place the responsibility on the developer to ensure the trees are planted <br /> and established. <br /> <br /> ~I <br /> . If the developer chooses to plant and establish the trees, the administrative rules <br /> set requirements for the developer to show how the trees, if planted early, will not conflict <br /> with later construction. If the developer elects to wait until home construction is <br /> completed, the rules require the developer to show how (s)he will track the completion of <br /> specific home construction projects and provide for the trees to be planted at that time. <br /> If the developer chooses to delegate tree planting to the City, the City takes full <br /> responsibility for tracking ~ 'home construction and the subsequent planting and <br /> establishment of the street trees. <br /> Based on 'the above fmdings, I hereby adopt the proposed Street Tree Program <br /> d~inistrative Rule R-7.280 as modified herein: <br /> <br /> ~ STREET TREE PROGRAM <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE RULE R-7.280 <br /> -7280-A Street Tree Program - Policv. <br /> 1 <br /> In order to create attractive and healthy neighborhood environments no approval shall be <br /> ranted for a development that involves the creation of a street unless the applicant has submitted <br /> nd'received approval of a Street Tree Plan pursuant to R-7.280-B.1 or executed an agreement <br /> ith the Ciry pursuant to R-7.280-B.2 that ensures street trees will be planted and established in <br /> cccirdance with the standards and procedures provided for in these rules and the adopted policies <br /> f the Urban Forest Management Plan. Street trees shall be planted as each lot or area is <br /> eveloped and shall be required on that portion of street right-of--way that abut lots within the <br /> evelopment as well as on new streets within the development site. <br /> 1dministrative Order - 7 <br /> <br />
