The multi-family <br />units are located along the west portion of the site and. single family lots on the east portion. A <br />wide buffer between proposed buildings is provided to the west adjacent to the Ribbon Trail <br />(over 500 feet) and the ridgeline (over 130 feet). To the north and east, a buffer of 20 feet to 60 <br />feet is provided between the single family homesites and the northern and eastern property <br />lines. <br />In an effort to cluster the multi-family, and preserve a greater degree of natural resources <br />(headwaters to the Laurel Hill Valley Creek, the Ridgeline and existing vegetation) there is a less <br />of an opportunity to add vegetation between the individual rows of multi-family units. This <br />criterion contemplates buffering of the proposed units from surrounding properties and not <br />from each other. <br />The vast majority of the site preserves a setback area from surrounding properties whether the <br />surrounding properties are vacant or developed. See Site Plan Sheet 3.0. <br />Additional protections-provided by Forest Conservation Area and dedication of open space <br />areas to the city of Eugene will ensure adequate screening from surrounding properties. <br />Tree and vegetation replacement (See PUD narrative of June 24, 2013 at Page 43) will replace <br />trees removed at a ratio of 3.65 : 1. The revegetation will include canopy trees as well as <br />understory trees, shrubs and hydro seeding of the native forest floor. This strategy will further <br />enhance the visual separation between neighboring properties. <br />Through these conservation and mitigation strategies, as well as clustering of development, this <br />policy is met. <br />9.8320 4 : The PUD is designed and sited to minimize impacts to the natural <br />environment by addressing the following: <br />(a) Protection of Natural Features. <br />1. For areas not included on the City's acknowledged Goal5 inventory, the <br />preservation of significant natural features to the greatest degree <br />attainable or feasible, including; <br />a.
