Three trees exist on this property. The trees are Chinese Elms which are considered “weed trees’ in many
jurisdictions due to the way they spread to unwanted areas. Chinese Elms are known to be a lower quality
non-indigenous tree and are not recommend for planting. The result of the onsite meeting with the city
forester was that only one of these trees needs to be mitigated because the caliper of the tree is 11” which
is the minimum size requiring mitigation. The mitigation requirement is 1.5 trees for replacing the removal of
this tree. The other two trees do not meet mitigation requirements. The location of these trees interferes
with the necessary grading of this site along with the construction of the proposed multifamily units. The
landscape plan proposes the addition of two shade trees and one ornamental tree for this site along with 2
ROW shade trees. Removal of these trees will be necessary for any type of development to occur. They
currently exist well below existing street grade.
