A 26" caliper oak tree is being preserved in the front yard of Lot 1. No additional boulevard tree <br />is proposed for this lot or recommended. <br />A boulevard tree is shown on the landscape plan for lot 2. This tree should be relocated to the <br />right-of-way. <br />The existing house (lot 3) has a tree in the right-of-way area and will not require an additional <br />boulevard tree. <br />Boulevard tree requirements are met provided the boulevard tree is relocated to the right-of- <br />way. <br />Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards <br />The purpose of these standards is to protect valuable trees and stands of vegetation while not <br />interfering with landowners' reasonable use and development of property. The goal is to <br />minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity, and forest resources and to replace removed <br />trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. <br />A tree survey was performed that identified: <br />Total Trees <br />67 <br />Total Trees Removed <br />30 <br />Total Trees Preserved <br />37 <br />Mitigation Trees Required <br />1 <br />Of the 67 total trees in the inventory, 30 trees will be removed, 37 will be preserved. <br />The 37 trees planned for preservation must have Tree Protection Zones installed in accordance <br />with the City Tree Protection Fence Detail. <br />29 of the tree removals are in the Basic Use Area (BUA) and do not require mitigation. <br />One tree planned for removal is in a non-BUA and non -ESA (14" maple on Lot 2). This tree will <br />require mitigation at a one to one ratio. <br />Overall, for the 30 removals, 1 mitigation trees will be required. This tree must be added to the <br />Landscape Plan. <br />Tree Preservation and Mitigation Standards are met with the addition of 1 mitigation tree. <br />Open Areas Landscape Standards <br />Open areas standards do not apply to single family residential lots. <br />7 <br />
