Tree Preservation and Landscaping Plan – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The proposed construction would impact twenty (20) trees on the property that total 298 <br />caliper inches. The tree inventory indicates that the lot has a total of 656 significant caliper <br />inches. Based on the calculations from the tree inventory more than the permitted 10% of the <br />significant caliper inches will be removed with this project. When more than 10% are <br />removed the applicant is required to meet the City’s tree preservation standards, and <br />mitigation in this case is required. The property owner is required to replace 117 caliper <br />inches and the plan indicates that 124 caliper inches will be planted on the site. <br /> <br />The tree preservation and landscaping plan that has been submitted by the applicant can <br />be found in Attachment E. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />D.
