Conservation Design Plan <br />Fox Hill <br />PID 0411723410005 <br />6 <br /> <br /> <br />Tree Removal and Protection Plan <br />Any trees that are within the possible limits of grading have been located. The total number of <br />trees planned for removal is 177. The grading extents will be either set by silt fence or orange <br />construction fence prior to grading and tree removal. The majority of which are red and white <br />pines. These will be replaced by additional trees along the boulevard of the proposed driveways <br />and around the proposed houses. An example of this is shown in the sketch plan. The choice of <br />trees and plants planted shall utilize, but not be limited to, the University of Minnesota <br />recommendations included in the appendices. The architectural renderings also show the rough <br />landscaping plantings around the houses. <br /> <br />Ecological Communities Discussion <br />The redevelopment of Fox Hill is intended to maintain the existing ecological communities. One <br />additional house is proposed to the north, and the south house is being replaced by another in a <br />similar location. The surrounding pines and deciduous trees will be maintained as much as <br />possible. Around half of the north house and central driveway is proposed to be outside of the <br />trees, and in the existing short grass area. Wildlife will be maintained on the site due to the <br />limited tree clearing and due to the protection of the existing wetlands. <br /> <br />Landmark Preservation Plan <br />There are no landmarks to preserve on the site. No Landmark Preservation Plan was made <br />because of this. <br /> <br />References <br />1. “Minnesota Storm Water Manual”, Current Edition, Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency, https://stormwater.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/Main_Page <br />2. “Orono Rural Oasis Study” DSU, August 2005 <br />https://www.oronomn.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4633/Rural-Oasis-Studypdf <br />3.
