Tree Conservation/Landscape Review
TREE CONSERVATION COMMENTS:
1. Upon the approval of the Zoning Change and Concept Plan (ZA25-0014) the following
City Council Motion was made.
Administrative approval will be given to allow the alignment of the road and lot
configuration to preserve the two large oak trees identified or shown to be removed on
the plan.
Please align the right-of-way to avoid encroachment into the critical root-zone-area of
trees #687 and #689 on Lot 1. Show the trees as protected on the Tree Conservation
Plan and adjust the percentage of preserved canopy cover to include the percentage o f
canopy cover of the two trees.
2. Provide the percentage of existing tree cover within the development.
3. Label the streets.
4. The Tree Conservation Plan submitted with the Zoning Change and Concept Plan was
not revised. Trees #589, 590 and 595 will most likely be within a future house pad area
and be required to be mitigated if shown to be preserved. It is probably best to rev ise
the Tree Conservation Plan to show them to be altered or as Marginal.
5. The submitted Tree Conservation Plan complies with the required existing tree cover
preservation of 70% but does not conform to the Tree Conservation Plan approved with
the Development Plan. Additional trees on Lot 4 and within the E. Bob Jones Road rig ht-
of-way are shown to be removed.
The proposed existing tree cover preservation complies with the existing tree cover
preservation requirements of the Tree Preservation Ordinance 585 -E. There is 8% of
existing tree cover on the property and a minimum of 70% of the tree cover is required
to be preserved. A total of 75.3% is proposed to be preserved and 24.7% to be removed.
* 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,
Case No. Attachment A
ZA25-0049 Page 6
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.

3. While these homes may not be located within the floodplain, the minimum finish floor elevations
