DATE: March 28, 2023
Recommended Condition of Approval C.2 of Resolution No. 2023-04 requires
mitigation for the Town-protected trees to be removed as part of the proposed
development. Staff is recommending this condition of approval be modified to
eliminate the requirement for tree mitigation for the trees that are in a poor or
critical health condition. This would reduce the off-site tree mitigation fee from
$105,500.00 to $11,250.00 which staff feels is a much more reasonable fee given the
poor condition of many of the trees on the site:
C.
2. The developer shall be required to mitigate the loss of 38 Town-protected trees. The
total diameter of trees to be removed is 1,012 843 inches. However, many of these
trees are in poor or critical condition and should be removed with or without this
development. Tree mitigation shall be related to Town-protected trees to be removed
with are in fair condition or better only. As a result, the applicant shall be responsible
for the planting of either 47 422 15-gallon trees or 23 210 24-inch box size trees. If
some of these trees cannot It is anticipated that these trees would not be able to be
planted on site, given the footprint of the proposed building. Therefore, the trees would be planted off-site within Town parks and open space area subject to the
applicant’s payment of an off-site mitigation fee. The mitigation fee shall be $250.00
per 15-gallon tree or $500.00 per 24-inch box size tree ($11,750.00).
