Roche, Senior Forestry Coordinator 413 South Bryan Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 Re: H-25 Multi-Family Development Dear Ms. Roche: This letter accompanies our PDP submittal for the H-25 Multi-Family Development and responds to comments from the Concept Review from August 9, 2019. Our team met on site with you November 21, 2019 to review existing on- site trees. Information from that meeting, including tree mitigation requirements are included in our submitted drawings. The site has a total of 46 existing trees. Many existing on-site trees are in fair to poor condition and/or are undesirable species such as Russian Olive. The site plan layout has been designed to retain existing significant trees where possible and build on existing tree groupings to enhance overall aesthetic, environmental and wildlife value. A total of 23 trees will be removed, requiring 31 mitigation trees. Mitigation trees are accounted for and noted in the Landscape Plan. Of the trees planned for removal, 4 are already dead, 5 are invasive, and 10 are of FAIR- and lower in quality. Four (4) are being removed due to conflicts with proposed buildings, utilities or parking and range in condition from FAIR - to FAIR. Due to the FAIR/POOR quality of the trees being removed we do not believe they are suitable for transplanting off-site. The largest existing Cottonwood on site is planned to be preserved through a sidewalk re-alignment and low site wall pending final site grading. No trees are planned for removal within the natural area buffer zone. We feel that our team has taken reasonable measures to preserve and protect existing trees on the site, while working within other jurisdictional requirements and clearances.
