TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. Ensure that the proposed grading does not conflict with the proposed tree preservation.
ALTER; ALTERS; ALTERATION: Any act which causes or may reasonably be expected to
cause a tree to die, including but not limited to, any of the following: uprooting any portion of
the tree’s root system; severing the main trunk of the tree; inflicting damage upo n the tree’s
root system by machinery, storage of materials, or the compaction of soil above the root
system of a tree; changing the natural grade of the critical root zone of a tree or uphill from the
critical root zone of the tree so as to divert the flow of water to or away from the critical root
zone; applying herbicidal or other lethal chemicals to the tree or any portion of the critical root
Case No. Attachment C
ZA18-012 Page 2
zone of the tree; placement of impermeable material over any portion of the critical root
system of a tree; and trenching within the critical root zone. A protected tree shall be
considered to be altered if one or more of the following occurs: more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the critical root zone is adversely affected, more than twenty-five percent (25%) of its
canopy is removed, or the tree is disfigured to the extent a reasonable person would conclude
the tree will not survive.
* The proposed tree preservation complies with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation
Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. There is 24% of existing tree cover and a
minimum of 60% of the existing tree cover is required to be preserved. The applicant is
proposing to preserve 91% of the existing tree cover.
* Except as provided by subsection 7.2.b. of the Tree Preservation Ordinance, a Tree
Conservation Analysis or Tree Conservation Plan shall be approved if it will preserve existing
tree cover in accordance with the percentage requirements established by Table 2.0. If the
property has previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of
existing tree cover at the time the first such permit was issued shall be used to calculate the
minimum existing tree cover that must be preserved under this section.
Table 2.0 – Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
Percentage of existing tree cover on
the entire site
Minimum percentage of the
existing tree cover to be
preserved*
0% – 20% 70%
20.1 – 40% 60%
40.1% - 60% 50%
60.1% - 80% 40%
80.1% - 100% 30%
*The minimum percentage of existing tree cover to be preserved shall exclude any area in
public rights-of-way as approved by City Council.
* Please be aware that all existing trees shown to be preserved on the City Council approved
Tree Conservation Plan must be preserved and protected during all phases and construction
of the development. Alteration or removal of any of the existing trees shown to be preserved
on the approved Tree Conservation Plan is a violation of the Tree Preservation Ordinance and
the zoning as approved by the Southlake City Council. Please ensure that the layout of all
structures, easements, utilities, structures grading, and any other structure proposed to be
constructed do not conflict with existing trees intended to be preserved.
