Capital Hill PUD Page 38 of 67 Planned Unit Development Application - Tentative Stage - Written Statement March 3, 2017 Revised:June 19, 2017 10. Heritage trees. There are no heritage trees on-site. See Tree Preservation Plan. All of the trees were evaluated for their relative health. Each tree is numbered on the plan and there is a corresponding comment on the chart provided in the report. Tree preservation is accomplished through the establishment of conservation zones, which offer protection to trees, as well as other types of vegetation, natural resources and habitat areas. The preservation zones take 2 forms; 1) Preservation areas held in common ownership and regulated by the HOA and 2) Preservation areas that are privately held. The conservation areas are intended to remain as open space, in which the natural character and vegetation of the land are protected from any type of development. These conservation areas are preserved for the following reasons, including but not limited to: • Preservation of existing vegetation including trees and understory; • Preservation of existing habitat; • Protection of property for unnecessary erosion (between Lots 16 and 17) ; and • Preservation of the existing vegetation which will serve as a visual buffer between the housing and the recreation activities on the adjacent Ribbon Trail The conservation areas held in both private and common ownership will be regulated by the CCRs for the Planned Unit Development. (c) Restoration or Replacement. 2. For areas included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory, any loss of significant natural features described in criteria (a) and (b) above shall be consistent with the acknowledged level of protection for the features. The development site is in the Goal 5 Inventory. To the extent that trees are removed, additional trees will be planted. It is the client's desire to add trees to enhance the residential character of the property, re-vegetate where existing vegetation has been lost, and to provide an attractive and high-quality living environment for the existing and developing neighborhood. See Tree Preservation Plans for conditions pertaining to tree removal and replacement. (d) Street Trees. If the proposal includes removal of any street tree(s), removal of those street tree(s) has been approved, or approved with conditions according to the process at EC 6.305. Existing street trees are proposed to be removed as part of the required improvements to Capital Drive. The removal of these trees will be reviewed through this PUD application process. Other than those trees, there are no other street trees adjacent to the property. (5) The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through compliance with the following: (a) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6870 Standards for Streets, Alleys, and Other Public Ways (not subject to modifications set forth in subsection (11) below). EC 9.6805 Dedication of Public Ways As a condition for development, the city may require dedication of public ways for bicycle and pedestrian use as well as for streets and alleys The right of way for Capital Drive is already dedicated. Sidewalks are proposed on the development side of the street. EC 9.6810 Block Length Block length for local streets shall not exceed 600 feet unless an exception is granted based on one or more of the following: (1) Physical conditions preclude a block length 600 feet or less. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, topography or the existence of natural resource areas such as wetlands, Schirmer Satre Group • 375 West 4 m Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401 • (541) 686-4540
