OPH Staff-
I have reviewed the revised plans for Oak Park Senior Living(dated
11/1/12)which show buildings on the northwest portion of the property where there is now a berm with trees. These
48 deciduous and evergreen trees(165 diameter in.)were planted in an earlier phase of the development, in part to
satisfy the tree replacement requirement then in place. Per my email report to OPH Staff of 5/14/12,the additional tree
replacement requirement if these trees are removed will be 165 diameter in. x$50./in.=$8,250.. This would be
reduced by any trees which are put in around the new buildings,which would be in addition to any landscaping already
planned for,or installed in,other parts of the development. Please contact me if you have any questions. Please let the
developer know of this additional charge for tree replacement.
