Tree Preservation <br />The Environmental Coordinator and Environmental Board reviewed the tree preservation <br />and landscape plans. <br />The goal of tree preservation is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity and <br />forest resource and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. <br />The Tree Inventory Report prepared by Carlson McCain revised January 10, 2020 <br />identifies 750 significant trees on site. Eighty-eight (88) trees were identified as non- <br />significant (e.g. ash trees, elm trees etc.) and will be removed without mitigation <br />requirements. Of the remaining 662 trees, 252 trees will be saved and 410 will be <br />removed. Sheet T4, Tree Preservation Plan identifies the basic use area and <br />environmentally sensitive areas. Five (5) trees are being removed within the natural <br />resource conservation area. Fourteen (14) trees are being removed from the non -ESA <br />and non -basic use areas. This requires 29 replacement trees for mitigation which are <br />provided throughout the development. <br />Landscaping <br />Open area landscaping standards require 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2,000 sf. <br />Existing trees on site may be used to satisfy open area landscaping requirements if <br />applicable by placement. This would only apply to the existing trees on Outlot A. The <br />landscaping plan has been revised to provide adequate open space mitigation for Outlots <br />B, D and E. Outlots C does not require mitigation because it is for future right -of way. <br />Buffer and screen standards apply along CSAH 54 (20th Avenue), specifically Block 4, <br />Lots 12-15 that have a rear frontage on 20th Avenue. Approximately 475 linear feet of <br />frontage will be screened by shrubs, new trees, and existing trees to provide a continuous <br />planting screen year-round. The Preliminary Landscape Plan shows trees and shrubs <br />planted on two separate berms. It was suggested these berms be combined to provide a <br />continuous berm; however, an opening between the 2 berms is needed to provide rear <br />yard drainage. A triangulated row of coniferous trees will be planted in addition to the <br />berms that will provide appropriate screening. <br />A triangulated row of coniferous trees will also be planted at the north end of Heritage <br />Avenue to screen potential vehicle headlights shining onto the adjacent property. <br />Coniferous trees and shrubs will be planted on Outlot F around the lift station. <br />Boulevard trees are required at the rate of one (1) tree per lot frontage for single family. <br />There are 68 single family lots that require 77 boulevard trees (interior and corner lots). <br />Seventy-nine (79) trees are proposed which is compliant with the ordinance. <br />11 <br />
