Staff Report to Council Application No.: 7922-0210-00 Planning & Development Report Page 5 • Staff support the requested variances to proceed for consideration. TREES • Terry Thrale, ISA Certified Arborist of Woodridge Tree Consulting Arborists Ltd. prepared an Arborist Assessment for the subject property. The table below provides a summary of the tree retention and removal by tree species: Table 1: Summary of Tree Preservation by Tree Species: Tree Species Existing Remove Retain Deciduous Trees Holly 1 1 0 Magnolia 1 1 0 Cherry 1 1 0 Coniferous Trees Spruce 1 0 1 Smaradg 1 1 0 Total (excluding Alder and Cottonwood Trees) 5 4 1 Total Replacement Trees Proposed (excluding Boulevard Street Trees) 1 Total Retained and Replacement Trees 2 Contribution to the Green City Program $3,850 • The Arborist Assessment states that there are a total of four (4) mature trees on the site. It was determined that one (1) tree can be retained as part of this development proposal. The proposed tree retention was assessed taking into consideration the location of services, building footprints and proposed lot grading. • For those trees that cannot be retained, the applicant will be required to plant trees on a 2 to 1 replacement ratio. This will require a total of eight (8) replacement trees on the site. Since only one (1) replacement tree can be accommodated on the site, the deficit of seven (7) replacement trees will require a cash-in-lieu payment of $3,850, representing $550 per tree to the Green City Program, in accordance with the City’s Tree Protection By-law. • One (1) City tree (hedge unit) is proposed for removal as this would conflict with the proposed front fence. Parks Planning has advised that as the requested building height variance is not related to tree removal, the review of City trees (and potential removal) will be deferred to the Building Permit application. As such, additional tree retention may be required as this is reviewed further. • In summary, a total of two (2) trees are proposed to be retained or replaced on the site with a contribution of $3,850 to the Green City Program.
