5 Per Sheet C1-2, the existing private well will be removed and capped. Tree Preservation and Mitigation Plan The Environmental Coordinator and Environment Board reviewed the tree preservation and landscaping requirements. The following comments are from the May 4, 2022 Environmental Board staff report. The 11 trees planned for removal are in non-environmentally sensitive portions of the basic use area and will not require mitigation trees to be planted. The ash tree located southwest of the accessible parking spaces should be added to the removal list. With the addition of the tree protection fence detail, the preservation and mitigation standards will be met. Open Areas Landscape Standards Open area landscape standards require 1 large tree and 3 large shrubs per 2,000 sf. There are 7,894 square feet of open space that require 4 large trees and 12 large shrubs. Provided on site are 8 large trees and 12 medium shrubs. Four (4) additional large shrubs are required to meet open space requirements. Buffer and Screen Standards A buffer and/or screen would have been required if the portion of the parking lot west of the building were part of the new construction. As the parking lot is pre-existing, a buffer and screen will not be required. Buffers and screens requirements have been met. Canopy Cover Canopy cover standards require a minimum of 40% canopy coverage. Vehicular hardscape planned: 9,147 sq. ft. Canopy cover requirement: 3,659 sq. ft. Canopy cover provided: 6,325 sq. ft. Canopy cover requirements have been met. Foundation Landscaping Foundation Landscaping standards apply to building fronts and sides facing public or private streets.
