         a.   Protective fencing planned to be installed around the critical root zone of those trees identified for preservation, on both grading and landscape plans.

         b.   Trees that will have their roots pruned by a certified arborist, to avoid tearing and other damage during construction.

         c.   Locations where limestone and other materials that might negatively affect trees planned to be preserved will be stored on the property.

      2.   Where it is determined that trees six inches (6") dbh or greater must be removed to allow for proposed development, tree replacement will be required:

         a.   Not less than one (1) 3-inch caliper tree shall be required for each six inches (6") of tree proposed to be removed, as measured at breast height. However, in no instance shall more than three (3) 3-inch caliper replacement trees be required for any tree removed.

         b.   Replacement trees shall be required in addition to any other landscaping that may be required by this title, except landscape screening. In this instance replacement trees can be used to count toward screening between I-1 development and properties planned, zoned or used for residential or institutional purposes.

         c.   The number of trees that an individual property can support, according to good forestry practices, shall determine the number of replacement trees that will be required on an individual lot.
