i , <br /> Tree Preservation and Landscapint� <br /> The site is currently comprised of mixed tree vegetation primarily located in the azeas of two previous <br /> homesteads and along the west property line. The remainder and majority of the site is treeless. The <br /> most dominant tree species on the site are Ash, Box Elder, and Elm with a few other hardwoods and <br /> coniferous located in the homestead areas. The plan as proposed will remove the rnajozity of the <br /> existing trees, however,two large Oaks and a large conifer will be preserved in the south east site <br /> cornez along will a larger viaple adjacent to Old Crystal Bay Road. The rema�zung trees aze smaller <br /> voluntary growth trees that will be removed and replaced with the new perimeter landscaping. <br /> The City's Landscape Ordinance indicates that one shade tree be pianted for every 4Q feet of roadway <br /> frontage. The road frontage equates to a planting requirement of i06 trees. The propased landscape <br /> plan provides a total of 206 trees. There are trees pz�oposed along the new internal right of way <br /> corridors and also a significant perimetex buffer landscape is proposed. �'he perimeter lanciscape will <br /> enhance an undulating berm and provide screening far the develapment. The trees along Old Crystal <br /> Bay Road have been set back s�ightly into the development to avoid conflicting with the existing <br /> overhead power lines. <br /> The landscape plan also includes a seeding plan that will provide entzancement of the proposed <br /> wetland buffers. The plan includes sodding the perimeter berm landsca.ping. Proposed yards wil�be <br /> vegetated with typical resi.dential turf grass and the stormwater management areas will be vegetated <br /> vv�th appropriate plants/seed mixes that are typical to those facilities. <br /> TIlV11NG1PHA5ING <br /> If the City reviews and approves the requested Rezoning, PRD, and Prelixninary Plat request, it is the <br /> Applicant's desire to proceed with request for a Final Plat review and approval witlt construction in <br /> late spring or early summer 201b. <br /> CONCLUSIO:�T <br /> The applicant respectfally concludes that the request for a Rezoning, PRD, and Preliminary Plat <br /> approval w�ill provide a desirable Medium Density Residential development that is consistent with Ciry <br /> Goals and Objectives for this area. <br /> PRD Rezo�in�PrelirninarY Plat Subm'rttal January 20 2016 <br /> Orono Preserve Page 7 of 7 <br />
