resources, it is common for a stream to also have related wetlands in nearly the same location. The site plans show the top of bank of the stream as it begins on the east boundary of the site and travels towards the west boundary of the site where it enters an existing underground culvert under the areas where Randy Lane is proposed and exits in the City's Videra Park. • Does not identify trees by species and dimension or map critical root zones for trees within conservation areas and how these trees and their root zones will be protected. Th applicant has identified three trees located within the area of proposed disturbance and identified for removal as it relates to the Standards Review application. All trees on the site are shown on sheet ST2.0. The closest tree to the area of disturbance within the steam setback is located in Lot 33, south of the steam, and is approximately 270 feet from the edge of proposed disturbance. This tree would need to have a diameter at breast height that well exceeds 180 inches to have any possibility of impact to its critical root zone. Trees of this extreme size are not known to exist in the area. Therefore, unless evidence is provided to the contrary, it is not possible for the critical root zone of this tree to be affected by the proposed street and area of disturbance. • The site plan does not properly identify/indicate all trees by species and dimension. There needs to be a complete and comprehensive inventory of all trees on the property. Native Willamette White Oaks on the property should be identified and protected. Deny the applications because there is less than 2% of the Willamette Valley's oak woodlands remaining and this ecosystem is critically endangered. The site plans do identify the location of existing trees on the site. There are no criteria with final PUD approval that requires an inventory of all trees on the property. As discussed in the tentative PUD staff report (PDT 24-1 and ST 24-3) the Tree Preservation and Removal Standards at EC 9.6885 will apply directly at the time of future development on individual lots. Depending on the timing and scope of tree removal, lot size, and other factors, a separate tree removal permit may be required per EC Chapter 6, which will be reviewed at the time of building permits on each individual lot. • Has not demonstrated compliance with construction practices within conservation areas per EC 9.4980(4). This standard is addressed in Section 1 of the Decision, and two additional conditions of approval are required to ensure consistency with this standard. • Concern with impacts to Videra Park, no mapped combined conservation footprint extending across the shared boundary, no tree identification and critical root zone mapping near the property line, and no hydrological analysis of how the Randy Lane extension and associated swales may alter water flow affecting park -side trees.
