A sketch of the site depicting the location of the significant trees included in the permit application, including relative proximity to structures, property lines, easements, other trees and other relevant features;

(2)

Description of the significant trees, including species, size, health, and general condition; and

(3)

Photograph of existing site with the significant trees clearly marked with orange ribbon that will remain on the tree throughout the permitting process.
