A tree survey was completed as part of the proposal. 280 trees were inventoried on site, primarily consisting of ash, maple, and cotton wood. A total of 215 trees are shown for removal, with a mitigation requirement of 83 trees. The developer is proposing to replace with 90 trees, meeting the requirements, along with 53 required boulevard trees (143 total onsite). Boulevard trees will be planted at a rate of one per lot, with the exception of corner lots getting a tree on each frontage. Townhomes are required to provide 1 tree per 70 LF of frontage. 31 lots including 2 corner lots will require 33 trees and 20 trees are required for the town homes (1,378/70). A total of 53 trees are being proposed as boulevard trees, meeting requirements. 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 2 large shrubs per 2500 sf. The site has 223,192 sf of proposed open space. This equates to 90 trees being planted in addition to required boulevard trees.
