LAST AMENDED
2/2/2011

The following requirements must be met during construction:

(a)    No construction equipment of any kind shall operate beyond 15 feet of the perimeter of a #building# foundation except
        those vehicles engaged in the construction of #private roads#, driveways or required #accessory# parking areas. This
        provision may be waived by the Commissioner of Buildings should it be determined that the particular conditions of the
        site make a 15 foot limit infeasible or impractical.

(b)    Construction fences shall be erected around all vegetation proposed for preservation and all #areas of no disturbance#,
       and those portions of the fence that are downhill from the construction site shall have hay bales placed adjacent to them.

(c)    Excavating for fill shall be prohibited unless the material is obtained from a cut permitted under an approved grading
        plan obtained for some purpose other than to produce fill material, or imported from outside the #Special Hillsides
        Preservation District#.

(d)    The #staging area# shall be located in an area that would most minimize destruction of the natural features of the
       landscape. Such area shall be as close to the construction area on the #zoning lot# as practical, and shall be either on the
       flattest portion of the #zoning lot# or behind a containment wall where it will not erode any #area of no disturbance# or
       endanger any tree designated for preservation.

(e)    #Topsoil# shall be used in the area to be revegetated as soon as construction is complete.

(f)    Any exposed earth area shall have straw, jute matting or geotextiles placed on it within two days of exposure and be seeded
        with annual rye grass during construction.
