Planning Department Staff have <br /> reviewed the Prairie Restoration plan and find it to be appropriate for the remediation <br /> on your property. <br /> In order to expedite your process and get your trees planted before winter you proposed <br /> a one for one tree replacement, meeting the literal requirement of Orono's Zoning <br /> Ordinance. Planning Department Staff granted administrative approval of your <br /> proposal in order to facilitate your request rather than bringing your proposal in for City <br /> Council review. <br /> While the tree for tree plan you have implemented is an acceptable alternative, it likely <br /> is somewhat more intense than City Staff would have recommended based on our visit <br /> to the site last week. The type and close proximity of each newly planted tree to each <br /> other will likely not result in equivalent height or girth of the trees removed. Staff has <br /> had significant time for review and inspection and determined that due to the site <br /> conditions and existing tree coverage on your property a more appropriate plan would <br /> not necessarily be a tree for tree replacement. Therefore, the plan submitted for your <br /> property by Prairie Restorations, Inc has been deemed acceptable by Staff. No review <br /> by City Council is needed, however, and based on your plantings we consider the <br /> matter closed in regards to your property. <br /> Please don't hesitate to contact me at 9�2.249.4627 if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �' v l� . <br /> Melanie Foth <br /> City Planner <br /> c: Tom Barrett, City Attorney <br /> Ron Bowen, President, Prairie Restorations, Inc <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www ci.orono�n.us <br />
