<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for February 4, 2014 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-036 - Red Fox Business Center PUD\Memos_Reports_14-036 <br />Page 6 of 14 <br />8. Orderly development of the neighborhood and the City within the general purpose <br />and intent of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Development Plan for the City. <br /> <br />The City Council may place conditions on a permit if deemed necessary to protect the health, <br />safety, and general welfare of the community. Conditional Use Permits are granted for a <br />specific use at a specific site and are not transferable. <br /> <br /> <br />Section 1325 – General Regulations <br /> <br />A. Tree Preservation – Flexibility Requested <br /> <br />The applicant submitted a Tree Survey and Tree Replacement Plan as part of their tree <br />preservation and mitigation requirements (Attachment B). The following table outlines these <br />numbers and the additional requirements of the tree preservation ordinance pertaining to tree <br />removal and tree mitigation regulations. <br /> <br />Development of the site as proposed requires extensive tree removal. The applicant has <br />stated their intent to develop the lot in such a way that preserves as many highest quality <br />trees as possible, knowing that many of the significant trees will have to be removed in order <br />for the lot to be developed into a viable use. In total 90 trees will be planted, equating to 310 <br />caliper inches. Based on the proposed tree removal, the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance <br />requires 395 caliper inches to be planted. The applicant is requesting flexibility to reduce the <br />amount of caliper inches required from 395 to 310, which is a reduction of 85 caliper inches. <br /> <br /> Caliper Inches Number of <br />Trees <br />Total Existing Significant Trees 927 114 <br />10% Permitted Removal 93 -- <br />Proposed Removal 882 56 <br />Trees Preserved 45 58 <br />Replacement Trees Required* 395 --** <br />Replacement Trees Proposed 310 90 <br /> * Replacement trees are calculated by subtracting the ten percent permitted <br />removal from the proposed removal and dividing by two. <br /> ** The number of trees required may vary depending on the size of the trees <br />planted by the developer. City Code requires a certain number of caliper <br />inches to be planted. If larger trees are planted then fewer trees would be <br />required. <br /> <br />Trees proposed to be planted will consist of desirable and native tree species such as <br />Northern Red Maple, Swamp White Oak, Common Hackberry, Princeton Elm, Bur Oak, <br />Black Hills Spruce and White Fir. <br />
