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
