Surrey planning report 7922-0211-00

Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0211-00 Planning & Development Report Page 12 Contribution to the Green City Program* $70,950 • The Arborist Assessment states that there are a total of 63 mature trees on the site, excluding Alder and Cottonwood trees. 71 existing trees, approximately 53% of the total trees on the site, are Alder and Cottonwood trees. It was determined that 9 trees can be retained 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. • Table 1 includes an additional 12 protected trees that are located within the Green Infrastructure Network Corridor. The trees within the Green Infrastructure Network Corridor will be retained, except where removal is required due to hazardous conditions or regrading requirements. This will be determined at a later time, in consultation with the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department. • 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 total of 161 replacement trees on the site. Since only 32 replacement trees can be accommodated on the site, the deficit of 129 replacement trees will require a cash-in-lieu payment of $70,950 representing $550 per tree to the Green City Program, in accordance with the City’s Tree Protection By-law. • The applicant is proposing to remove a City tree that is within the existing GIN corridor to the east of the site. Prior to final approval, the applicant will work with the City staff to explore retention of this tree. • In addition to the replacement trees, boulevard street trees will be planted on 28 Avenue and 28A Avenue. This will be determined by the Engineering Department during the servicing design review process. • In summary, a total of 41 trees are proposed to be retained or replaced on the site with a contribution of $70,950 to the Green City Program.
