Braewood Hills 3rd Addition PUD (PDT 24-1 and ST 24-3) Page 11 of 14 Standards Review Application: Written Statement September 5, 2025 Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning stream is north of the area of disturbance. The area of disturbance is around the existing stormwater pipe and not the actual stream. To the extent that they can provide shade when more fully grown, 4 native trees have been planted in the area of disturbance. (c) Where non-native or damaged trees are removed within 25 feet of a Category B, C, or D stream within the /WR conservation area, they shall be replaced with native tree or large shrub species and located so as to achieve equal or greater shading of the channel during times of peak solar input as the trees removed. The 3 existing non-native trees that were removed were located between 35’ and 45’ from the actual stream. The 4 proposed native trees were selected and placed in the area of disturbance. They are placed closer to the actual stream and spread out east to west to provide maximum amount of shade on their north side, eventually providing some shade to the actual resource and the conservation setback area when they mature. (d) Replanting of areas cleared of existing vegetation must be completed within 90 days following the removal or clearing, unless otherwise approved by the planning director. Planting will be scheduled based on seasonal timing and plant availability to ensure optimal restoration success. If this schedule cannot be accommodated within the 90-day timeline, a request for an extension will be submitted to the Planning Director. (e) Plantings shall not adversely affect adjacent protected water resources or existing native vegetation through shading or invasion by plant species introduced into the setback. See Planting Plan for proposed replanting within the /WR conservation area disturbed by construction of Randy Lane and other required public improvements. The proposed seed choices are native species and are not considered invasive. Four native trees have been planted to replace the 3 non-native trees removed. These are also not invasive species. The native replacement plantings will enhance this area by replacing non-native plants with native. These plantings will not adversely affect the adjacent protected water resource. This requirement seems contradictory to the requirement in (c) above that indicates shading of the stream might be desirable? (4) Construction Practices. Construction within the /WR conservation area, and within areas removed from the /WR conservation area shall comply with the following standards: (a) For purposes of this subsection, heavy machinery is defined as motorized or mechanized machinery or equipment capable of deliberately or inadvertently damaging vegetation, or damaging or compacting soil. The following standards shall apply to use of heavy machinery within the /WR conservation area: 1. On sites where soils are susceptible to severe compaction or structural damage when wet or saturated, use of heavy machinery shall be limited to the period between June 15 and September 30, unless otherwise approved by the planning director. 2. Use of heavy machinery shall be the minimum necessary for the use or activity and shall be restricted to those areas where its use is necessary. Machinery, tools, supplies and other construction materials will not be stockpiled or stored in the /WR area. Machinery use within the /WR area will be the minimum necessary and limited to the period between June 15 and September 30 unless otherwise approved by the planning director. (b) Petroleum products, chemicals, or other deleterious materials used in the construction process shall not be allowed to enter a stream or wetland that is within a /WR conservation area. Acknowledged and agreed.
