intended for removal or preservation. The matrix should be sorted by lot & block, <br /> and conclude with a tabulation of the following: <br /> (1) total number of significant trees on the site, <br /> (2) total number of significant trees proposed for removal <br /> (3) total number of significant trees proposed for preservation <br /> (4) a calculation of the percentage proposed for removal <br /> (5) if the percentage of removal is greater than 30%, the number of trees which <br /> exceed the allowed 70% removal <br /> F. If the percentage of removal is greater than 30% as calculated in (ES) above, a <br /> second matrix shall be provided which sorts the significant trees by caliper inch <br /> and identifies all trees for which replacement is required(in accordance with <br /> section 23-418). This matrix should conclude with a tabulation of the following: <br /> (1) Total number of caliper inches for which replacement is required <br /> (2) Calculation of the required caliper inches to be replaced and shown as <br /> required plantings within the tree preservation plan. <br /> Replacement rate guidelines. <br /> Planned and unplanned tree removal shall be subject to the following guidelines: <br /> A. Trees planned for removal beyond the allowed thirty (30)percent shall be subject <br /> to a required replacement as defined in this article. For every tree planned to be <br /> lost beyond the allowed thirty (30) percent, a replacement tree shall be required at <br /> a rate of one-half(1/2) caliper inch for every one (1) caliper inch of tree loss. <br /> B. In the event a tree tagged for preservation is identified for removal in conjunction <br /> with a permitted activity, the required replacement shall be one (1) caliper inch <br /> for every one (1) caliper inch of tree loss. <br /> C. In the event a tree identified for preservation is removed without autharization, <br /> the required replacement shall be two (2) caliper inches for every one (1) caliper <br /> inch of tree loss. <br /> Reforestation guidelines. <br /> In the event of development in an area where there are less than fifteen (15) <br /> significant trees per acre, reforestation will occur to achieve this ratio. The planting of <br /> required boulevard trees shall not count towards achieving this reforestation ratio. The <br /> following criteria will be used to determine reforestation: <br /> A. Proposed trees to be planted must be approved by the City; <br /> B. No more than one-third (1/3) of the trees may be from any one (1) tree <br /> species; <br /> C. Not less than twenty (20) percent of the trees shall be conifers; <br /> D. Trees shall be used that are appropriate to the soil conditions found on-site; <br /> E. Reforestation trees shall be consistent with the definition for replacement trees <br /> as found in this article. <br />
