consider an adjustment to the number of replacement trees required. The adjustment shall be based on topography, property shape, or other existing physical conditions or requirements of the Land Development Ordinance, which impacts the development of the site.

(4) Protection of Perimeter Buffer Area . The identified perimeter buffer area as provided on an approved site plan or major subdivision plan shall be protected during clearing and cleanup activities with tree protection fencing appropriately located at or beyond the drip line of the tree(s) using standard practices and appropriate signage visible to the contractor and general public during construction.
