2.

6.

Mitigation calculations for Protected Trees to be removed;

7.

Canopy coverage analysis based on the following calculations:

CR=SA x 0.4

Where:

CR = canopy area requirement

SA = site area

PROCEDURE FOR CALCULATING THE REQUIRED TREE REPLACEMENT:

Step 1: Area of total site from boundary survey.

Step 2: Multiply area (in square feet) by 0.4.

Step 3: Subtract preserved tree area (as determined by the Tree Survey) from Step 2.

Step 4: Select enough overstory and understory trees to equal area remaining after Step 3.

Example calculation:

Step 1: 10-acre site = 435,600 sq. ft.

Step 2: 40 percent canopy cover figure: 435,600 X 0.4 = 174,240 sq. ft. to meet 40 percent canopy cover.

Step 3: Preserved trees left on-site = 108,900 sq. ft. (2.5 acres)

174,240 minus 108,900 = 65,340 sq. ft. of replacement trees.

Step 4: Replacement trees required to meet 40 percent canopy coverage: 65,340 sq. ft. of area to be planted in trees.

40 overstory (large canopy trees) x 1500 sq. ft. =     60,000 sq. ft.

9 overstory (medium canopy trees) x 550 sq. ft. =     4,950 sq. ft.

2 understory (small canopy tress) x 250 sq. ft.       500 sq. ft.

Total square footage of trees planted          65,450 sq. ft.

Note: The additional trees to meet minimum canopy coverage do not need to be shown on the tree protection and preservation plan. They may be shown on the landscape plan.

Any unsatisfactory areas shall be corrected to the satisfaction of the engineering director prior to proceeding with the installation of the rock base course or construction of curb. Sub-grade laboratory compaction testing may be required by the County if adequate compaction cannot be satisfactorily determined by proof-rolling.

2.

Proof-rolling of the roadway rock base shall be performed in the presence of a representative of the Engineering Department. Any unsatisfactory areas shall be corrected to the satisfaction of the engineering director or duly authorized representative prior to proceeding with the installation of the asphalt courses.

3.

Prior to backfill of any cross-drain pipe, the installation shall be inspected by the Engineering Department.

4.

Pavement mix design reports prepared by an independent laboratory shall be submitted for approval prior to paving.

5.

Laboratory compaction, stability and density testing is required for pavement. Compressive strength testing is required for concrete curb and gutter. Pavement core sample reports are required at 500-foot spacing to show thickness of bases and surface. Reports shall include a map showing core locations.

All test results must be submitted to the Engineering Department prior to proceeding with the next sequence of construction. Specifically, compaction results must be submitted and approved prior to:

a.

placement of curb and gutter;

b.

all sub-grade test results prior to placement of base material; and

c.

base thickness and compaction results prior to asphalt surface pour.

7.

If any of the above tests show substandard conditions, then additional tests may be required by the engineering director to reveal the extent and cause of the substandard condition. All tests shall be performed by a qualified independent testing laboratory approved by the engineering director.

8.

A proposed plan to correct substandard conditions shall be submitted by the applicant's engineer for approval by the engineering director prior to beginning work.
