This policy <br />does not preclude increasing their conveyance capacity in an environmentally <br />responsive manner. <br />Findings: The development proposes to protect the natural vegetation, <br />natural water features, and drainage-ways by utilizing native landscape <br />planning while minimizing the amount of significant trees removed from the <br />development property and by reducing encroachment of the river and open <br />space by employing careful site orientation design. In addition to minimizing <br />tree removal, new City-approved trees are proposed to be planted <br />throughout the site and at 30 feet on center near proposed vegetated <br />swales. Please refer to the concurrent PUD, Tentative Plan submittal, file <br />number PDT 13-0001, and specifically at the proposed tree removal and <br />landscape plans as provided by the project landscape architect. Stormwater <br />runoff will be reduced to pre-development rates prior to discharging from <br />the site. For further evidence and analysis showing compliance with this <br />criterion, please refer to file PDT 13-0001 regarding stormwater mitigation <br />and also the civil engineer drawings and analysis. <br />(Policy E.4) Public and private facilities shall be designed and located in a <br />manner that preserves and enhances desirable features of local and <br />neighborhood areas and promotes their sense of identity. <br />Findings: The desirable feature of the neighborhood is the open space that <br />surrounds the river and also the Willamette River, including views and <br />access. As outlined in this statement, this development provides maximum <br />openness, connectivity, and recreation for neighborhood. <br />METRO PLAN - SPECIFIC ELEMENTS: (F) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT <br />(Goal 1) Provide an integrated transportation and land use system that <br />supports choices in modes of travel and development patterns that will <br />Willamette Greenway -June 14, 2013 Page 10 of 20 Oakleigh Cohousing WG 13-0001 <br />1345 <br />
