Landscape and Tree Plan
A total of six (6) existing trees are proposed to be removed for the proposed Worship Center. No existing trees are proposed to be removed for the construction of the south parking lot.
Two
(2) of the existing trees proposed to be removed are within the proposed building pad of the Worship Center and the other four (4) are located outside of the proposed building pad. The
applicant is proposing to mitigate the removal of the four (4) trees outside of the proposed building by planting thirty-nine inches (39”) of additional landscape trees within the interior
landscape area around the Worship Center.

Except for existing native trees and vegetation along the west and south bufferyard areas of the two properties, the other existing trees
are required interior and bufferyard landscape trees that were planted during the previous construction phases of the development. A majority of these landscape trees are still small
and their canopy cover across the site cannot be easily determined from an aerial photograph or the ground. The canopy cover of the six (6) trees proposed to be removed for the construction
of the Worship Center measured to be approximately 2,016 square feet. With the removal of the six (6) trees the percentage of existing tree cover preserved would be well over the minimum
percentage of existing tree cover required to be preserved.

Background
City purchased 4.6 acres in 1998 (open space –SPDC funds)
Prior to 2008 Ride for Pride used the Church Property to access “City land”.
There was a sign installed indicating an equestrian
trailhead #2; however, no city or private easement across the church property.
In 2008, Countryside Bible Church indicated
that it prohibited horses crossing their property citing
liability and safety issues.
August 2013, City abandoned the Equestrian Easement south of the Fox Glen Neighborhood.
