4 <br /> <br />Boulevard Trees <br /> <br />Boulevard trees are required for all new residential subdivisions at a rate of one tree per <br />lot frontage. <br /> <br />A 26” caliper oak tree is being preserved in the front yard of Lot 1. No additional <br />boulevard tree is proposed for this lot or recommended. <br />A boulevard tree is shown on the landscape plan for lot 2. This tree should be <br />relocated to the right-of-way. <br /> <br />The existing house (lot 3) has a tree in the right-of-way area and will not require an <br />additional boulevard tree. <br /> <br />Boulevard tree requirements are met provided the boulevard tree is relocated to the <br />right-of-way. <br /> <br />Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards <br /> <br />The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation <br />while not interfering with landowners’ reasonable use and development of property. <br />The goal is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity, and forest resources <br />and to 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 67 total trees in the inventory, 30 trees will be removed, 37 will be preserved. <br /> <br />The 37 trees planned for preservation must have Tree Protection Zones installed in <br />accordance with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail. <br /> <br />29 of the tree removals are in the Basic Use Area (BUA) and do not require mitigation. <br /> <br />One tree planned for removal is in a non-BUA and non-ESA (14” maple on Lot 2). This <br />tree will require mitigation at a one to one ratio. <br /> <br />Overall, for the 30 removals, 1 mitigation trees will be required. This tree must be <br />added to the Landscape Plan. <br /> <br />Total Trees 67 <br />Total Trees Removed 30 <br />Total Trees Preserved 37 <br />Mitigation Trees Required 3
