TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
* The proposed tree preservation complies with the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
of the Tree Preservation Ordinance. There is 22% of existing tree cover on the site and a minimum
of 60% of the tree cover is required to be preserved. The applicant is proposing to r emove 0.28%
and preserve 99.72% of the existing tree cover. All of the tree cover proposed to be removed are
trees that were planted to meet previous development landscape requirements except for one (1)
native Post Oak that is within the building pad area of the proposed building.
* 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 req uirements established by Table 2.0. If the property has
previously received a tree permit related to development, the percentage of existing tree cover at
Case No. Attachment C
ZA18-0023 Page 2
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.
LANDSCAPE COMMENTS:
* The proposed addition does not exceed 5,000 square feet and is not more than 30% of the
existing building floor area so only the required landscape based on 50% of the proposed building
floor area is required to be provided.
* Indicates informational comment.
