Tree Preservation – Meets Requirements The applicant submitted a Tree Survey and Tree Replacement Plan as part of their tree preservation and mitigation requirements (Attachment B). The following table outlines these numbers and the additional requirements of the tree preservation ordinance pertaining to tree removal and tree mitigation regulations. Development of the site as proposed in the Master PUD requires extensive tree removal. The applicant has stated their intent to expand the Land O’Lakes Campus in such a way that preserves as many high quality trees as possible, knowing that many of the significant trees will have to be removed in order for the property to accommodate the expansion of the Campus. During Phase 1 of the project, approximately 140 trees will be planted within the construction boundary of the south parking lot. Based on the proposed tree removal for both phases of the project, the City’s Tree Preservation Ordinance requires 2,000 caliper inches of tree plantings. At this time, the application is proposing a total of 2,475 caliper inches or 745 trees.
