SCHOELL F.a MADSON, INC. . Mr. Mike Gaffron ' 6 May 21, 1997 EXHIBIT E � � � � � RESOLUTION NO. 3. Tree Preservation and Reforestation . a. DNR Region 6 Forester, Larry Westerburg,recommended that the tree protection Quidelines used by the Minnesota Department of Transportation would�be appropriate for the Spring Hill Golf Course site. These guidelines were obtained from the MnDOT Standards and • Specifications for Construction; 1995 Edition. � � � Tree Relocation The trees that are to be relocated are currently growing on the site. They are of good form, and;to the best of our knowledge, free of disease. The existing tree stock being relocated is hardy for this area as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture's Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Additional trees will be purchased for transplanting. The trees that are machine-transplants of on site collected stock will be moved within the site and measures will be taken to insure minimal damage to the stems, roots, branches, and trunl:s of the trees,thus preventing opportunity for infection of the tree by various pathogens. Where feasible to do so, the transplanted trees will be pruned within 24 hours. This will serve to balance the area of the crown with the azea of the roots thus rrunimizing branch dieback and potentially hazardous limbs. While the majority of the trees to be planted are derived from on site stock, these trees «•ill be supplemented with additional nursery trees. As with the machine-transplanted trees, those trees of nursery stock��-ill be hardy for this azea as defined by the USDA's Plant Hardiness Zune Map and will be of good form; free from obvious defects and pathogens. . • � Measures will be taken around the planting bed area to provide for temporary erosion prevention. Efforts to reduce the duration the soil is esposed to the erosive forces of rain and PAGE 1 OF 2
