7 <br /> <br />Boulevard Trees <br /> <br />Boulevard trees are required for all new residential subdivisions at a rate of one tree per lot <br />frontage. <br /> <br />The existing house has trees in the right-of-way area and will not require an additional <br />boulevard tree. <br /> <br />Boulevard trees are shown on the landscape plan for lots 1 and 3. The tree on Lot 1 must <br />be moved into the right-of-way area. <br /> <br />Boulevard tree requirements are not currently met. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards <br /> <br />The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation while <br />not interfering with landowners’ reasonable use and development of property. The goal <br />is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity, and forest resources and to <br />replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. <br /> <br />A tree survey was performed that identified: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Of the 49 total trees in the inventory, 24 trees will be removed, 25 will be preserved. <br /> <br />The 25 trees planned for preservation must have Tree Protection Zones installed in <br />accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail. <br /> <br />23 of the tree removals are in the Basic Use Area (BUA). 8 of these are in <br />Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA) and will require mitigation at a rate of one tree <br />planted for four removed. 15 of the 23 trees in the BUA are in non-ESA and will not <br />require mitigation. <br /> <br />One tree planned for removal is in non-BUA and non-ESA. This tree will require <br />mitigation at a one to one ratio. <br /> <br />Overall, for the 24 removals, 3 mitigation trees will be required. These trees must be <br />added to the Landscape Plan. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards have not been met. <br /> <br />Total Trees 49 <br />Total Trees Removed 24 <br />Total Trees Preserved 25 <br />Mitigation Trees Required 3
