Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) Considerations The site is not within the AUAR environmental review boundary. Drinking Water Protection The site is in the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA) and is moderately vulnerable. Aquifer vulnerability assessments determine which potential contaminant sources must be managed in DWSMAs. In moderately vulnerable areas, wells and tanks must be managed. This 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. The plan calls for removals of 59 trees, 58 of which will not require mitigation because they are in the Basic Use Area and not in an Environmentally Sensitive Area. One tree is in a Natural Resource Conservation Area and will require 2 mitigation trees to be planted. Preservation and mitigation standards have not been met. 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. The following substitutions are allowable: 1 large tree = 1.5 medium or 2 small trees 1 large shrub = 1.5 medium or 3 small shrubs 27,250 sq.ft. of open space calls for: 14 large trees and 42 large shrubs Provided: 14 large tree equivalents and 0 large shrubs There are 5 existing trees (cottonwoods) that will be credited as 11 large trees. Existing trees are credited at the following rates: 5
