McDonald's Project - Landscape Plan and Tree Replacement Requirement
I have reviewed the revised landscape plan, re- visited the site, re-compiled the tree inventory, and re- calculated the tree
replacement requirement based on the revised tree inventory and landscape plan. My comments are as follows:
1. Tree Inventory: I re- compiled the site tree inventory and added 7 existing trees which had not been included on the
original tree inventory (6 Jap. tree lilacs on road r.o.w. and 1 arborvitae behind the existing building). Two trees (1 pine and
a multi -stern black cherry) on the slope behind the building, are dead or dying and were not counted toward the total tree
inches to be protected. I also corrected trunk size on several trees.
2. Tree Replacement Requirement: Based on the revised tree inventory and landscape plan, I have calculated:
total inches of significant trees on site = 199 (83 inches to be protected and 116 inches to be removed)
Total Tree Replacement inches Required = 90 Total Inches of Landscape Trees to be Planted = 33
Net Tree Replacement Inches Required = 57
Tree Replacement (cash in lieu of additional planting on site) = 57 in.
x $50./in. = $2,850.
(to be paid into the Tree Planting Fund of the City of OPH)
3. The revisions to the landscape plan are acceptable (basically just fewer trees planted on E, S, and W sides).
4. The Planting Detail is acceptable - the plants will be inspected after installation. If the trees and shrubs are not planted
according to the accepted planting detail, that will be corrected at the expense of the developer.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this review.
