- TREE PROTECTION: The following note shall be placed on the Site Plan:
The Tree Protection and Preservation Guidelines adopted
pursuant to Section 21-24 of the Land Development Regulations of the Town of

- There will be no excavation or stockpiling of earth underneath the trees.
- Trees designated to be preserved shall be marked conspicuously on all sides
at a 5 to 10 foot height.
- The Tree Protection Zone for trees designated to be preserved will be
established by one of the following methods:
– One (1) foot radius from truck per inch DBH
– Drip line of the Tree Canopy. The method chosen should be based on providing the maximum protection zone possible. A barrier of snow fence or equal is to be placed and maintained one yard beyond the established tree protection zone. If it is agreed that the tree protection zone of a selected tree must be violated, one of the following methods must be employed to mitigate the impact:
– Light to Heavy Impacts – Minimum of eight inches of wood chips installed in the area to be protected. Chips shall be removed upon completion of work.
– Light Impacts Only – Installation of ¾ inch of plywood or boards, or equal over the area to be protected.
The builder or its agent may not change grade within the tree protection zone of a preserved tree unless such grade change has received final approval from the Planning Board. If the grade level is to be changed more than six (6) inches, trees designated to be preserved shall be welled and/or preserved in a raised bed, with the tree well a radius of three (3) feet larger than the tree canopy.
- All landscaping shown on the site plans shall be maintained in a vigorous growing condition throughout the duration of the use of this site. Any plants not so maintained shall be replaced with new plants at the beginning of the next immediately following growing season.
