The equipment must exit the same way. Any damage to the public sidewalk or road caused by the Tree Work operations will be required to be repaired at the Applicant’s expense. In the turf/grave area, the Applicant shall use a construction matting that protects the turf and spreads the vehicle load to prevent cave-ins in turf areas.
