1 have reviewed the landscape plan (dated 2/9/05) and the tree list (dated 5/18/05) for Pine Grove Gardens. After
correcting the tree list for species and sizes which are not significant, the total count of diameter inches of significant
trees on site is 3023 in.. The project proposes to remove 1213 diameter inches of significant trees, which is 40% of the
total in. on site. The calculated tree replacement required is 647 diameter inches. For removing less than 50 of the
total, the project receives a credit of 10% of the replacement inches required (65 in.). The project proposes to plant 278
diameter inches of replacement trees which are also credited toward tree replacement. The final tree replacement
required is 304 diameter inches. This totals approximately 152, 2 in diameter trees. If the project cannot plant the trees
on site, the developer may pay the cost of replacement trees calculated at $50. per diameter inch. This would total a
cash payment of $15,217. which would be paid into the city's tree planting fund and would be used to plant new trees
elsewhere within the city. If you have any questions regarding this memo, please contact me.
