Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7923-0212-00 Planning & Development Report Page 8 TREES  Joey Banh, ISA Certified Arborist of Diamond Head Consulting 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 Cottonwood 5 5 0 Deciduous Trees (excluding Alder and Cottonwood Trees) Bitter Cherry 1 1 0 Pacific Dogwood 1 0 1 Coniferous Trees Douglas Fir 67 42 25 Western Hemlock 33 33 0 Western Red Cedar 118 82 36 Western White Pine 1 1 0 Total (excluding Alder and Cottonwood Trees) 226 164 62 Total Replacement Trees Proposed (excluding Boulevard Street Trees) 33 Total Retained and Replacement Trees Proposed 95 Estimated Contribution to the Green City Program $159,500  The Arborist Assessment states that there are a total of 221 mature trees on the site, excluding Alder and Cottonwood trees. 5 existing trees, approximately 2% of the total trees on the site, are Alder and Cottonwood trees. The applicant proposes to retain 62 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 323 replacement trees on the site. Since the proposed 33 replacement trees can be accommodated on the site, the proposed deficit of 290 replacement trees will require an estimated cash-in-lieu payment of $159,500, representing $550 per tree, to the Green City Program, in accordance with the City’s Tree Protection By- law.  The new trees on the site will consist of a variety of trees including Malus Fusca and Robinia Pseudo Frisia, and a variety of low-lying shrubs and plants.
