1. For areas not included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 <br />inventory, the preservation of significant natural features to <br />the greatest degree attainable or feasible, including: <br />a. Significant on-site vegetation, including rare plants <br />(those that are proposed for listing or are listed <br />under state or federal law), and native plant <br />communities. <br />b. All documented habitat for all rare animal species <br />(those that are proposed for listing or are listed <br />under State or Federal law). <br />C. Prominent topographic features, such as ridgelines <br />and rock outcrops. <br />d. Wetlands, intermittent and perennial stream <br />corridors, and riparian areas. <br />e. Natural resource areas designated in the <br />comprehensive plan diagram as "Natural <br />Resource" and areas identified in any city-adopted <br />natural resource inventory. <br />2. For areas included on the city's acknowledged Goal 5 <br />inventory, the preservation of natural features shall be <br />consistent with the acknowledged level of preservation <br />provided for the area. <br />Response: The modified project maintains conservation areas, shown on the Preliminary Plans in <br />Exhibit A, that were approved in the original East Ridge Village PUD (PDF 02-2). The site <br />does not contain resources identified in the City's Goal 5 Water Resources Conservation <br />Plan. These criteria are met. <br />(b) Tree Preservation. The proposed project shall be designed and sited <br />to preserve significant trees to the greatest degree attainable or <br />feasible, with trees having the following characteristics given the <br />highest priority for preservation: <br />1. Healthy trees that have a reasonable chance of survival <br />considering the base zone or special area zone designation <br />and other applicable approval criteria; <br />2. Trees located within vegetated corridors and stands rather <br />than individual isolated trees subject to windthrow; <br />3. Trees that fulfill a screening function, provide relief from <br />glare, or shade expansive areas of pavement; <br />4. Trees that provide a buffer between potentially incompatible <br />land uses; <br />5. Trees located along the perimeter of the lot(s) and within <br />building setback areas; <br />6. Trees and stands of trees located along ridgelines and within <br />view corridors; <br />7. Trees with significant habitat value; <br />8. Trees adjacent to public parks, open space and streets. <br />9. Trees along water features. <br />,~/►L' East Highlands Lot 46 - City of Eugene November 2021 <br />PUD Modification, Cluster Subdivision, Property Line Adjustment and Page 37 <br />Slope Easement Vacation <br />
