Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) Considerations The site is within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. The AUAR was updated in May 2020. The AUAR identified this site as commercial in all 3 land use scenarios. No further environmental assessment is required. Drinking Water Protection The site is within the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) and is moderately vulnerable. The site will be connected to City water and sewer. LANDSCAPE PLAN Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation while not interfering with landowners' reasonable use and development of property. The goal is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat,biodiversity, and forest resources and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. SUMMARY No.of Trees Trees Located within Basic Use Area(Non ESA-nu mitigation required) 26 Trees Not Located within Basic Use Area(Non ESA,6-12"DBH) 13 Trees NotLocatedwithin Basic Use Area(Non ESA,12"+DBR) 7 Ton ITrees 46 REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS Replacement Ratto Nu.of Trees Trees toot Located within Basic Use Area(Non ESA,&12"DBH) 1.1 13 Trees Not located within Basic Use Area(Non ESA, 12"4 Dn 2:1 14 Total Tree Replacement 27 The plan calls for removal of 46 trees, most of which are in the southern portion of lot 2. 26 removals are in Basic Use Areas, in non-Environmentally Sensitive Areas. These will not require mitigation. There are 20 trees not located in Basic Use Areas, and not in Environmentally Sensitive Areas. These trees will require mitigation at a 1:1 ratio for removals of trees 6-12" Diameter at Breast Height(DBH), or 2:1 ratio for trees greater than 12"DBH. Undesirable species do not have to be mitigated for. Removals of a 22" and 8" ash will not require mitigation trees to be planted. The total number of replacement trees required is 24. Open Areas Landscape Standards The purpose of these standards is to provide general site beautification and high aesthetic quality with a mix of plant materials in open areas. Open area landscape standards call for 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2000 sq. ft. 5
