Prominent topographic features, such as ridgelines and rock <br />outcrops. <br />d. Wetlands, intermittent and perennial stream corridors and <br />riparian areas. <br />e. Natural resource areas designated in the Metro Plandiagram as <br />“Natural Resource” and areas identified in any city-adopted <br />natural resource inventory. <br />2. For areas included on the city’s acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, the <br />preservation of natural features shall be consistent with the <br />acknowledged level of preservation provided for the area. <br />(b) Tree Preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited to <br />preserve significant trees to the greatest degree attainable or feasible, <br />with trees having the following characteristics given the highest priority <br />for preservation: <br />Site ID: EG46 Fox Hollow & Amazon RoadPage 19of 22 <br />
