trees of 2" Caliper

IV-A-8b
Amended
dec
Landscape plan submitted for review did not include
removed trees on the septic field. It appears that there
will be 6 in the location and it is beyond the 30' zone.
Additionally, another 3 trees are to be removed out of
the fire zone. This results in 33 new trees. The proposed
plan shows 24 new trees.
Due to the change in the tree planting rules since the
initial review and the abundance of trees on site, the DRB
will allow this project to go forward with 28 new trees.
The DRB recommends the additional 4 trees be pinyons
and planted to screen the septic field from neighbors to
the east.
Prior to any tree planting, please inform the DRB. The DRB
will walk site with applicants to ensure the trees to be
planted provide the best screening.
Each Lot with a residence shall have a sign indicating
the address number visible by the fire department in a
location acceptable to the fire department. Note
that Carbondale Fire Protection District requires house
numbers to be numerals as opposed to spelled out
numbers. Each number character must be a
minimum of four inches (4)" tall with a stroke width of
not less and one-half inch (.5").
Provide image or sketch to the DRB of the address
marker for approval prior to install.
Per the second amended declarations, all construction
to be completed within 2 years of start of project.
7. 1-13-1 DRB has waived requirement for licensed architect on
the project.

by the DRB. Each owner must construct their individual
water systems in strict adherence to the requirements set
