HomeMy WebLinkAbout01092008 BSC Agenda Item 4 0 4 Observations from Sample Permit Exercise 1. Tree evaluation - On proposed new construction. When rating the Tree's Potential and Location of Tree, do we rate based on existing or proposed conditions? 2. Sample permits do not capture all trees proposed to be covered by new ordinance. Existing ordinance applies to all trees 6" diameter and larger on new construction sites, and therefore existing permits do not include all trees that are proposed to be covered by the new ordinance. New requirements could potentially require more replacement planting OR may provide for greater Canopy Area Coverage and require no replacement. 3. Existing ordinance includes a Low Value exception - trees that score less than 19 points do not require replacement. The proposed ordinance does not require inch for inch replacement for trees in poor condition or hazardous condition; however, for new construction we are requiring every tree to be rated regardless of condition? Is this the direction we intended to go? 4. Our rating scale currently requires every tree to have a minimum rating of 10. As I interpret what we have ...trees being rated on new construction are not exempt of the rating if they are in poor condition, as they are for Routine Use of Land. What this does is require at least 10% replacement of a Tallow tree that is in very poor condition (assuming Canopy Area is not met). This would require 66 sq. in. of replacement for a nearly dead 29" Tallow - which would require five 4" diameter trees. Should we not (or maybe we already have) apply the same exemptions to Development/Pre-development as we do to Routine Land Use? 5. Most new home permits do not include a pool ...but quite often one is added by homebuyer prior to close of construction. If a site meets Canopy Area requirements and removes trees without replacement required... then the pool permit grants removal of additional trees that will cause the lot to fall below the Canopy Area do we require replacement of the trees that were removed in the new home permit? 6. 3502 Nottingham canopy area on the building site is 24% but the lot is heavily wooded. Many of the trees are growing along the right of way (corner lot) and the canopy area is not counted toward the Canopy Area because coverage is over the right of way. If it is the City's goal to encourage planting of trees in the right of way, should we not grant at least partial credit for canopy area over right of way immediately adjacent to the subject building site?
