RICHMOND ZONING BYLAW 8500, AMENDMENT BYLAW 10435

Tree Retention and Replacement The applicant has submitted a Certified Arborist’s Report; which identifies on-site and off-site tree species, assesses tree structure and condition, and provides recommendations on tree retention and removal relative to the proposed development. The Report assesses two (2) bylaw sized trees on the subject property. The City’s Tree Preservation Coordinator has reviewed the Arborist’s Report and supports the Arborist’s findings, with the following comments:  Two (2) trees located on site (tag# 397 and “stump”) to be removed and replaced. o One tree (tag# 397) located on site (front yard of Lot A) is a birch in very poor condition; exhibiting cavities in the upper canopy, topping by BC Hydro for line clearance and a lower scaffold limb extending along the ground. This tree is not a good candidate for retention and should be replaced. o One tree (tag# no tag) located on site (front yard of Lot A) was a 24” caliper dead birch (10’ high standing stump remaining) to be removed and replaced.  Replacement trees should be specified at 2:1 ratio as per the OCP (Min 4 m high conifer or 8 cm caliper deciduous). There is a hedge located along the south property line which is proposed to be trimmed and retained. There is also a hedge located along the rear (east property line) which is proposed to be trimmed and a portion retained. The extent of retention is to be further reviewed at the time of the City Work Order as the applicant is required to provide a service connection from the new home on Lot A to the sanitary sewer located in the rear. A Tree Management Plan is attached
