Upon approval of any permit for grading, demolition or construction, no work shall
commence, no grading shall be undertaken and no trees shall be removed prior to a
preconstruction conference on the site between the city arborist and the applicant
or their designees. The city arborist shall inspect the site to assure the accuracy
of permit application data and shall inspect tree protection fences and other protective
devices which have been installed to protect trees. After the inspection is complete,
the city arborist shall notify the director, and thereupon demolition, grading and
construction may proceed. It is further provided that for any permit for an addition
to a one-family or two-family residence, the city arborist may rely on data submitted
in the application and certified by the applicant for the building permit in lieu
of a preconstruction conference on the site.
