to be used.
4. Require that any Authorized Damage to Trees be
Minimized and Mitigated.
The conditions may specify methods of mitigation to be used.
5. Require, if there is major development,
that the affected subject site attain a minimum planting
standard of tree density as set forth in the criteria manual.
(c) Procedure
The building official shall not issue any permit for any
development or predevelopment activity unless all of the

where a tree is located to agree to any removal of or
damage to the tree authorized by the conditions.
(d) "Low-Impact" Exception

this section does not apply to a subject site, project or other
activity that will not have any signicant, adverse effect upon any
large tree, as determined by the urban forester.

structural elements, attachments, etc. before the work was covered or concrete was placed.
NOTE: dimensions of an underground element may have been measured or estimated from
the forms, boring or cavity for the element, before pouring or filling.
When lling out the city required Framing Certificates please answer each check box, , with a check
mark showing conrmation the inspection as stated was performed by you or an N/A, meaning nothing in
that space was applicable to this project.
The last check box on both Foundation and Framing Certificates must always be checked because
it states; this certicate does not rely upon any other certication, except as indicated below. In cases
where you as the Engineer of record authorize someone listed to perform an inspection for you, then
check that space and provide a copy of their report for our records as well.
