Fourteen mitigation trees are required. Mitigation trees should be upsized based on
this standard.
a. Shade trees 3.0 inch caliper
b. Ornamental Trees 2.5 inch caliper
c. Conifer Trees 8 feet height
2. The large existing Hackberry at the SW corner of the site should be retained and not
removed because reasonable options exist to preserve it. Design an island around it as
shown on the attached plan.
3. The existing Hackberry tree along the middle of the south property line should have a
larger landscape area provided under it to provide adequate protection to the root
system. Expand the size of the island as shown on the attached plan.
4. Autumn Blaze Maple is not adapted to our soil in the Fort Collins Area. An alternate
species should be selected. Bur Oak or Honeylocust should be used.
