§ 30-757 <br /> <br />VICTORIA CODE <br /> <br />(3) <br /> <br />prior to commencement of any tree re- <br />moval, a letter of credit equal to 125 <br />percent of the city's estimated cost to <br />furnish and replace the trees. <br /> <br />The security shall be maintained at least <br />for one year after the date that the last <br />replacement tree has been planted. Upon <br />a showing by the developer and such <br />inspection as may be made by the city, <br />that portion of the security may be re- <br />leased by the city equal to the estimated <br /> <br />(4) <br /> <br />cost of the replacement trees which are <br />alive and healthy at the end of such year. <br />Upon completion of the replanting of such <br />trees, the entire security shall be re- <br />leased. <br /> <br />Notwithstanding the provisions of this <br />section, no portion of the security shall be <br />released while there are unsatisfied <br />developer's obligations to indemnify the <br />city for any expenses incurred in enforc- <br />ing the terms of the agreement. <br /> <br /> (c) Procedural table. The following table identifies the general steps to be taken to comply with this <br />division. <br /> <br />Step <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> <br /> 2 <br /> <br />DEVELOPER'S PROCEDURAL STEPS: GENERAL REFERENCE <br /> <br />Action <br /> <br />Determine property size. <br /> <br />Inventory significant trees (in cal- <br />iper inches measured at 4.5 feet <br />from ground) on property. <br /> <br />Determine if property is low tree <br />density or high tree density. Less <br />than 6 total caliper inches of <br />significant trees per 1,000 square <br />feet is considered low density; 6 <br />or more total caliper inches of <br />significant trees per 1,000 square <br />feet is considered high density. <br /> <br /> Example <br /> <br /> 20 acres (871,200 square feet) <br /> <br /> 36-- 8' box elders <br /> 30--10~ box elders <br /> 28--12~ box elders <br /> 35--12~ red maples <br />30--18# sugar maples <br />24-- 8# pin oaks <br />16--18~ northern red oaks <br />13--24" northern red oaks <br />11--30' red oaks <br />35---20~ american linden <br />29---24~ american linden <br />29--12" red cedar <br />28--12" Colorado spruce <br />23---18" Colorado spruce <br />5,500 total caliper inches of significant trees existing <br /> <br />5,500 total caliper inches of significant trees divided by 871,200 square feet equals <br />6.13 significant trees per 1,000 square feet, which meets the definition of high tree <br />density. <br /> <br />CD30:106 <br /> <br /> <br />
