Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
* The applicant is requesting a variance to the Existing Tree Cover Preservation Requirements
because the proposed existing tree cover preservation does comply with the Existing Tree
Cover Preservation Requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585-E.
There is 4.9% of existing tree cover on the property and a minimum of 70% of the tree cover is
required to be preserved. A total of 39.6% of the existing tree cover is proposed to be removed
and 60.4% is proposed to be preserved.
* 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.
