Re: Kyle Avenue Solar Project Tree Removal and Mitigation
Dear Molly:
The following trees are proposed to be removed at the Kyle Avenue Solar project site at 6422 Kyle Ave,
Fort Collins, CO 80525.
1: Cottonwood - multi-stem 2-7” DBH
This tree is of wild origin and will shade the array, resulting in lost production of solar generated
electricity.
2: Siberian Elm - multi-stem less than 11” DBH;
This tree is of wild origin and will shade the array, resulting in lost production of solar generated
electricity.
3: Siberian Elm - multi-stem less than 11” DBH;
This tree is of wild origin and will shade the array, resulting in lost production of solar generated
electricity.
Mitigation
Based on direction from Forestry, only the cottonwood will require mitigation and Namaste Solar was
provided the following mitigation options:
• Plant a mitigation tree where it would not impact the solar array
• Provide a $450 payment in lieu of mitigation to City of Fort Collins Forestry
• Plant twelve (12) native shrubs
Namaste Solar has opted to plant twelve (shrubs) as part of the project’s overall landscaping plan.
Please refer to the landscaping plan in the submittal package for details on the type and location.
Regards,
Heath Mackay
Director of Project Development
Namaste Solar.
