7.5.2 The protective fence shall be at least 4 feet in height and made of orange plastic material or approved equivalent. 7.5.3 The protective fencing shall be installed prior to any construction/landscaping activity around the tree and be maintained in place during the construction/landscaping activities and removed only when the final construction is completed. R-7.280-G Procedure for Planting and Establishment of Trees by City. 1. An applicant may enter into an agreement with the City wherein the City purchases, installs and establishes the street trees and the applicant pays to the City a one-time fee established by the City Manager pursuant to section 2.020 of the Eugene Code, 1971, that is equal to the total cost to the City for the purchase, installation, and establishment of the required street trees. The fees shall be computed in accordance with subsection 2 of this Section. The fee established by the City and paid by the applicant does not equal a "per tree" cost nor obligate the City to plant a specific number of trees. The City fulfills its obligation under the agreement by planting trees in accordance with this Rule and the applicant's Street Tree Plan. The City shall thereafter assume responsibility for the purchase, installation, and establishment of the street trees. 2. The fee for street trees shall be established by administrative order of the City Manager pursuant to Section 2.020 of the Eugene Code, 1971. The applicant is not entitled to a refund of any portion of the fee, nor is the applicant required to pay any amount in addition to the one-time fee, based on the number of trees actually planted by the City. 3. The City will track lot development, negotiate species with new home owners, plant the new trees, and ensure they become established. The City will be responsible for the replacement of any trees that fail to survive the establishment period. R-7.280-H Foliage - Prohibitions, Trimming, Pruning, or Removal. 1. Prohibited Trees. In addition to the requirements of Section 7.280 of the Eugene Code, 1971 and these Rules, no person shall plant, or cause to be planted within the City, any species of tree within the right-of-way of a street, avenue, highway or alley, pedestrian right-of- way or pedestrian easement, which is not listed in or does not meet the matrix elements of the approved street tree species list attached as Appendix A hereto, unless planting of the proposed species is specifically authorized in writing by the City's Urban Forester. Any tree existing within a public right-of-way prior to September 5, 1996, shall be considered an approved tree. 2. Pruning or Removal. Except for EWEB when pruning is necessary to protect its lines or crews, no person shall prune a tree growing within the public right-of-way in a manner not in compliance with the standards set forth in Subsection 3 of this Section, which are designed to ensure trees are not pruned in a manner that causes damage to the tree or diminishes its health.
