Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0207-00 Planning & Development Report Page 9 TREES • Adrian Szabunio, ISA Certified Arborist of Woodridge Tree Consulting Arborist Ltd. prepared an Arborist Assessment for the subject property. The table below provides a summary of the proposed tree retention and removal by tree species: Table 1: Summary of Proposed Tree Preservation by Tree Species: Tree Species Existing Remove Retain Alder and Cottonwood Trees Alder 1 1 0 Deciduous Trees (excluding Alder and Cottonwood Trees) Plum 2 2 0 Cherry 4 4 0 Coniferous Trees Blue Sprue 1 0 1 Western Red Cedar 9 7 2 Deodar Cedar 1 1 0 Pine 1 1 0 Cypress 2 2 0 Total (excluding Alder and Cottonwood Trees) 20 17 3 Total Replacement Trees Proposed (excluding Boulevard Street Trees) 6 Total Retained and Replacement Trees Proposed 9 Estimated Contribution to the Green City Program $15,950 • The Arborist Assessment states that there are a total of 20 mature trees on the site, excluding Alder and Cottonwood trees. One existing tree, approximately 4.7 % of the total trees on the site, is an Alder tree. The applicant proposes to retain 3 trees as part of this development proposal. The proposed tree retention was assessed taking into consideration the location of services, building footprints, road dedication and proposed lot grading. • For those trees that cannot be retained, the applicant will be required to plant trees on a 1 to 1 replacement ratio for Alder and Cottonwood trees, and a 2 to 1 replacement ratio for all other trees. This will require a proposed total of 35 replacement trees on the site. Since the proposed 6 replacement trees can be accommodated on the site (based on an average of 3 trees per lot), the proposed deficit of 29 replacement trees will require an estimated cash-in- lieu payment of $15,950, representing $550 per tree to the Green City Program, in accordance with the City’s Tree Protection By-law. • In summary, a total of 9 trees are proposed to be retained and replaced on the site with an estimated contribution of $15,950 to the Green City Program.
