PZ - Tree Mitigation and Inventory Newkirk Neighborhood Tree Inventory and Mitigation Plan The following is an inventory of existing trees on the proposed Newkirk Neighborhood property. The trees are in fair to poor condition as they have not been well maintained and most are in various stages of decay and nearly all have structural issues. For this reason, we are proposing to remove all the existing trees and to mitigate for some of the caliper inches of loss. Some of the trees such as the willow do not require mitigation per city code. A map and photos of the trees is provided below as well as a total of caliper inches that should be mitigated for and a calculation of trees to be provided in the new development per the landscape plan. It is calculated that approximately 105” of existing tree caliper should be mitigated for, the project is providing 318 new trees with an average caliper of 2” that equals 636 caliper inches. The new trees planted will far outweigh any trees being removed from the site. Map of existing trees Tree 1 10” Caliper shade – to be mitigated Tree 2 Large Willow with rotted base and many dead limbs. – No mitigation proposed Tree 3 Large walnut tree, 30” – 40” caliper, multi - trunk, poor condition, structural issues. – To be mitigated at 50%. Tree 4 11” Crab Apple – poor to fair condition – to be mitigated Tree 5 13” Shade tree – fair condition – to be mitigated Tree 6 6” Shade tree – to be mitigated Tree 7 18” Shade tree – fair Condition - to be mitigated Tree 8 7” Pine – fair condition – to be mitigated Calculations from the Newkirk Landscape Plans
