There must be no excavation, raise/lower of soil level, compaction and any form of construction including temporary works within the hoarded area 3 No dumping of excavated materials and/or storage of construction materials is allowed within the Tree Protection Zone Retention Of Roadside Trees / Palms / Shrubs 3.1 The site and survey plans show : Roadside trees / palms / shrubs abutting the development boundary and up to 10m on both sides of the boundary a) species b) girth (tree / single stem palm) measured 1.0m from the ground c) tree height (if available) and number of cluster palm / shrub d) all trees / palms should be uniquely numbered and consistent throughout the project DC CH-LIST TCA 01/09/2014 at 7:58 AM Page 3 of 7

4 3.2 All existing trees / palms / shrubs indicated on the survey plan are reflected in the Tree Survey Information Form 3.3 The colour code for existing trees / palms / shrubs is as follow: Status of existing trees / palms / shrubs Outlined in color a. to be retained b. to be removed c. removed without written green yellow red d. removed with written *yellow *yellow indicate the approved date in the tree schedule Non-existence after inspection indicate a cross on tree symbol 3.4 The following proposed element are positioned at the minimum required distance from the centre of a tree: Splay corner of an entrance culvert (include access to bin centre, substation, MDF room and fire engine access): Tree / Palm Distance a. Palm b. Small to medium tree c. Large tree 1.0m 1.5m 2.5m Cement crossing (e.g. pushcart ramp for bin centre) across roadside green verge and centre of an existing tree / single stem palm is at least 2.0m 4 Depending on the root spread, especially for tree with girth more than 2.0m, larger tree protection zone will be determined at site on case by case basis Green Buffer And 2m Peripheral Planting Verges a) The width of the requisite green buffer and the 2m wide peripheral planting verges are provided and indicated in green on the site plan and 1st storey plan. b) The gradients of all proposed slopes are shown DC CH-LIST TCA 01/09/2014 at 7:58 AM Page 4 of 7

5 c) All proposed green buffer and the 2m peripheral planting verges are generally flat. The proposed slopes are not steeper than 1: Ancillary Structures in The Green Buffer And The 2m Peripheral Planting Verges (Applicant can choose to either apply the Prescriptive Guidelines Or the Objective-Based Guidelines 5.1 Prescriptive Guidelines All green buffers and the 2m peripheral tree planting verges are free from any encroachment, except for allowable ancillary structures Height and width of all proposed ancillary items are indicated clearly on plan OR The total length of the structures allowable within the green buffer must not exceed 3.0m or 25% of the available road frontage, whichever is greater 5.2 Objective-Based Guidelines Properly annotated Landscape Plan and justification in line with the objectives are submitted Landscape plan includes all information as stated in the objective-based guidelines 6 Planting Provision For Open Air Parking Area at Street Level 6.1 A minimum 2m wide tree planting verge is provided along a row of parking lots, if the parking area does not abut the green buffer or any of the 2m wide peripheral tree planting verges. 6.2 A minimum 4m wide tree planting verge (centredivider) is provided between two rows of parking lots.

6 6.3 A minimum 4m wide tree planting verge is provided between a building and parking lots except for industrial developments where the parking lots are meant for loading/unloading purposes 6.4 All proposed tree planting verges are generally flat. Where site situation does not permit, the proposed slope are not steeper than 1: All tree planting verges that abut parking lots are free from any encroachment above and below ground level. 6.6 Basement structure below any planting verges is recessed at least 2m below ground level. 6.7 All car parking lots are fully laid with aeration slabs. Each piece of slab has 35% aeration with all the void areas turfed. However, in the case of industrial development, if a 4.0m wide tree planting verge is provided, aeration slabs are not required. 6.8 For covered car parks, aeration slabs are provided if less than three-quarters of each parking lot s area is under cover 7 Planting Provision for Driveways (only applicable to public building developments) 7.1 A 2m wide verge is provided on at least one side of the proposed internal driveway if the driveway does not abut the green buffer or the 2m wide peripheral planting verge. 8 Boundary / Retaining Wall 8.1 Boundary/retaining wall does not encroach into green buffers and all tree planting verges 8.2 Footing of wall is recessed at least 2.0m below proposed planting level if it encroached more than 0.5m into green buffers or tree planting verge 9 Hedge Planting (only applicable to public building developments) 9.1 A minimum 1.0m wide hedge planting verge is provided around the bin centre and substation.

7 10 Proposed SWA Section 18 Roads 10.1 The length of planting island is at least 6.0m long. The proposed driveways to private lots are abutting each other 10.2 Planting island which is 6.0m long is indicated 10.3 The width of the roadside planting verges are provided in accordance with LTA standard road code 10.4 Clearance between proposed cement crossing (e.g. push cart ramp for bin centre) across roadside planting verge and the centre of an existing tree / palm is at least 2.0m No underground services are laid within the roadside planting verges. Services that are required to transverse through a planting verge into a proposed building plot are laid at least 2.0m away from the centre of a tree / palm. Footnote: 1. All building activities and construction materials are to be confined within the project site and not encroached onto the road sidetables. 2. Please apply to Streetscape Division of NParks regarding those roadside trees that require pruning of tree branches / roots (girth more than 200mm) to accommodate construction activities.
