Biological Resources
40. MM BIO-1: Pre-construction Bat Surveys The applicant shall implement the following
measures during demolition of structures and tree removal or tree pruning.
Structures. Before demolition of existing structures, a qualified bat specialist shall conduct a
day time search for potential roosting habitat and evening emergence surveys to determine if
the structure is being used as a roost. Biologists conducting surveys for roost sites shall use
naked eye, binoculars, and a high power spotlight to inspect buildings features that could
house bats. The surfaces of the structure and the ground around the structure shall be
surveyed for bat signs, such as guano, staining, and prey remains. Evening (i.e., dusk)
emergence surveys shall consist of at least one bat specialist positioned at different vantage
points from the structure, watching for emerging bats from a half hour before sunset to 1 to 2
hours after sunset for a minimum of 2 nights within the season that construction will be taking
place. Night vision goggles or full spectrum acoustic detectors should be used during
emergence surveys to assist in species identification. All emergence surveys shall be
conducted during favorable weather conditions (i.e., calm nights with temperatures conducive
to bat activity [55° F and above] and no precipitation predicted). If roosting, special-status
bats are present, measures developed by the bat specialist shall be implemented, as needed.
Measures to protect the bats may include postponing demolition until after the May 1 st
through October 1 st roosting period. Measures may include monitoring roosting to determine
if the roost site is a maternal roost by either a visual inspection of the roost bat pups, or
monitoring the roost after the adults leave for the night and listening for bat pups. Eviction of
a maternal roost cannot occur because bat pups are not mature enough to leave the roost. If
a roost is determined not to be a maternal roost, eviction of bats shall be conducted using bat
exclusion techniques developed by Bat Conservation International and in consultation with
CDFW that allow the bats to exit the roosting site, but prevent re-entry to the site. This work
shall be completed by a BCI-recommended exclusion professional. The exclusion of bats
shall be timed and carried out concurrently with any scheduled bird exclusion activities. Each
roost lost (if any) shall be replaced in consultation with the CDFW and may include
construction and installation of BCI-approved bat boxes suitable to the bat species and
colony size excluded from the original roosting site. Roost replacement shall be implemented
before bats are excluded from the original roost sites. Once the replacement roosts are
constructed and it is confirmed that bats are not present in the original roost site, the
structures may be removed or sealed.
Tree Removal. A qualified bat specialist shall examine trees to be removed or trimmed for
suitable bat roosting habitat. High quality habitat features (large tree cavities, basal hollows,
loose or peeling bark, larger snags, etc.) shall be identified and the area around these
features searched for bats and bat sign (guano, culled insect parts, staining, etc.). The
qualified bat specialist shall conduct evening visual emergence surveys of the source habitat
feature, from a half hour before sunset to 1 to 2 hours after sunset for a minimum of two
nights within the season that construction will be taking place. If it is found that roosting,
special-status bats are present, measures developed by the bat specialist shall be
implemented, as needed.

dripline of protected trees. The fencing can be moved within the dripline if authorized by the
Project Arborist or the City Arborist, but no closer than 2 feet from the trunk of any tree.
Fence posts shall be 1.5 inches in diameter and are to be driven 2 feet into the ground. The
distance between posts shall not be more than 10 feet. This enclosed area is the Tree
Protection Zone (TPZ). Moveable barriers or chain link fencing secured to cement blacks can
be substituted for "fixed" fencing if the Project Arborist and City Arborist agree that the
fencing would have to be moved to accommodate certain phases of construction. The
applicant may not move the fence without authorization from the Project Arborist or City
Arborist.
Construction Restrictions. During construction, the following restrictions shall be
implemented:
a) Runoff or spillage of damaging materials to the area below any tree canopy shall not be
allowed.
b) Storing materials, stockpiling soils, or parking/driving vehicles within the TPZ is not
allowed.
c) Cutting, breaking, skinning, or bruising roots, branches, or trunks of protected trees is
prohibited without first obtaining authorization from the City Arborist.
d) Fires shall not be allowed under and adjacent to trees.
e) Discharging exhaust into foliage shall be prohibited.

Avoiding injury to roots. When a ditching machine, which is being used outside of the dripline
of trees, encounters roots smaller than 2 inches, the wall of the trench adjacent to the street
shall be hand trimmed, making clear, clean cuts through the roots. All damaged, torn, and cut
roots shall be given a clean cut to remove ragged edges, which promote decay. Trenches
shall be filled within 24 hours, but, where, this is not possible, the side of the trench adjacent
to the trees shall be shaded with four layers of dampened, untreated burlap, wetted as
frequently as necessary to keep the burlap wet. Roots 2 inches or larger, when encountered,
shall be reported immediately to the Project Arborist, who will decide whether the applicant
may cut the roots as mentioned above or shall excavate by hand or with compressed air
under the root. The root is to be protected with dampened burlap. In addition, the top 2 feet of
the foundation closest to trees shall be air spaded or hand dug under supervision of a
licensed arborist to locate and evaluate any significant roots prior to mechanical excavation.
The licensed arborist shall be required to submit a report to the City regarding the findings of
the excavation and recommend any additional actions needed to protect the roots to preserve
the health and structure of both the redwood and oak trees.
Routing pipes. To avoid conflict with routes, pipes shall be routed outside of an area, ten
times the diameter of a protected tree. In addition, where it is not possible to reroute pipes or
trenches, the applicant shall bore beneath the dripline of the tree. The boring shall take place
not less than 3 feet below the surface of the soil in order to avoid encountering feeder roots.
Reporting. The City Arborist, or his designee, shall be present when any digging occurs in the
vicinity of the narrowest portion of the proposed shared driveway in the vicinity of the root ball
of the adjacent protected tree to ensure that all appropriate measures are taken to protect the
tree roots. If a protected tree is damaged, the applicant shall follow any remedial actions
deemed necessary by the City Arborist, such as planting additional trees, consistent with
Chapter 11.06.090.

system with a permanent filter of a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 13 or
greater shall be installed at the relocated residence at 524 Oak Grove Avenue. The MERV13
filter shall provide one air exchange per hour if the air source is outside/unfiltered air or four
air exchanges per hour if the air source is inside/recirculated air to provide an 80 percent or
greater reduction of outdoor fine particulate matter (including DPM).
Biological Resources
15. MM BIO-2: Tree Protection Measures: Tree protection specifications were developed by
Mayne Tree Expert Company Inc. for the protected trees surveyed at the Douglas Avenue
and Oak Grove Avenue project sites. The applicant shall implement the following tree
protection measures developed by Mayne Tree Expert Company Inc. and approved by the
Arborist for protected trees. The Mayne Tree Expert Company Inc. reports shall be included
on the demolition and construction plans of the project.
Mulching. A 6-inch layer of coarse mulch woodchips shall be placed beneath the dripline of
protected trees. Mulch is to be kept 12 inches from the trunk.
Protective Barrier. A protective barrier or 6-foot chain link fence shall be installed around the
dripline of protected trees. The fencing can be moved within the dripline if authorized by the
Project Arborist or the City Arborist, but no closer than 2 feet from the trunk of any tree.
Fence posts shall be 1.5 inches in diameter and are to be driven 2 feet into the ground. The
distance between posts shall not be more than 10 feet. This enclosed area is the Tree
Protection Zone (TPZ). Moveable barriers or chain link fencing secured to cement blacks can

implemented:
a) Runoff or spillage of damaging materials to the area below any tree canopy shall not be
allowed.
b) Storing materials, stockpiling soils, or parking/driving vehicles within the TPZ is not
allowed.
c) Cutting, breaking, skinning, or bruising roots, branches, or trunks of protected trees is
prohibited without first obtaining authorization from the City Arborist.
d) Fires shall not be allowed under and adjacent to trees.
e) Discharging exhaust into foliage shall be prohibited.
fl Securing cables, chains, or ropes to trees or shrubs is prohibited.
g) Trenching, digging, or excavating within the dripline of the TPZ of trees is prohibited
without first obtaining authorization from the City Arborist.
h) Applying soils sterilants under pavement near existing trees is prohibited.
Machine trenching is prohibited within the driplines of trees, only excavation by hand or
compressed air is allowed.
Avoiding injury to roots. When a ditching machine, which is being used outside of the dripline
of trees, encounters roots smaller than 2 inches, the wall of the trench adjacent to the street
shall be hand trimmed, making clear, clean cuts through the roots. All damaged, torn, and cut
roots shall be given a clean cut to remove ragged edges, which promote decay. Trenches
shall be filled within 24 hours, but, where, this is not possible, the side of the trench adjacent
to the trees shall be shaded with four layers of dampened, untreated burlap, wetted as
frequently as necessary to keep the burlap wet. Roots 2 inches or larger, when encountered,
shall be reported immediately to the Project Arborist, who will decide whether the applicant
may cut the roots as mentioned above or shall excavate by hand or with compressed air
under the root. The root is to be protected with dampened burlap. In addition, the top 2 feet of
the foundation closest to trees shall be air spaded or hand dug under supervision of a
licensed arborist to locate and evaluate any significant roots prior to mechanical excavation.
The licensed arborist shall be required to submit a report to the City regarding the findings of
the excavation and recommend any additional actions needed to protect the roots to preserve
the health and structure of both the redwood and oak trees.
Routing pipes. To avoid conflict with routes, pipes shall be routed outside of an area, ten
times the diameter of a protected tree. In addition, where it is not possible to reroute pipes or
trenches, the applicant shall bore beneath the dripline of the tree. The boring shall take place
not less than 3 feet below the surface of the soil in order to avoid encountering feeder roots.
