Photo <br />Application Summary: <br />At the February M"* Council meeting the Vegetation Restoration Plan with amendments to the <br />Agreement was approved with a 3-1-1 vote. The Council also voted on the variance Resolution which <br />resulted in a failed 2-2-1 vote, afler which there was discussion leading to the tabling of the variance <br />request. 'Die applicant has not revised his request nor has staff made any changes to the attached <br />Resolution. <br />Boncstroo reviewed the VRP and indicated tliat it was an acceptable plan for the vegetation <br />replacement. Recently Bonestroo was asked to comment on the tree for tree (1:1 ratio) replacement or <br />whether additional trees were more appropriate. As a result of the mature tree removals the tree <br />canopy on the property has been significantly reduced. The proposed location, type and si/c of trees <br />proposed will mature and eventually result in a similar level of canopy. In order to compensate for the <br />slow growth time it may be appropriate to supplement with additional trees. However, there is not <br />sulTicient space to place additional trees within the areas of tree removals. Any new trees Irave to be <br />planted substantially closer to the house where there weren’t trees previously. <br />Regarding the 36” oak tree on the neighboring property within 10’ of the proposed house, care should <br />be taken with construction practices within the area of tlic root growth. An arborist should be brought
