For areas at or above 900 feet elevation, and areas within Willamette River Greenway Tree <br />Preservation Zone 1 . . . <br />The development site is not above 900 feet or in the Willamette Greenway. <br /> <br />5. For areas within Willamette River Greenway Tree Preservation Zone 2 . . . . <br />The development site is not in the Willamette Greenway. <br /> <br />6. New trees planted to meet mitigation requirements are subject to the requirements at EC <br />9.6885(2)(e)2.d. Installation and Maintenance. <br />Unless otherwise specified, each significant tree designated for mitigation must be replaced <br />with one tree selected from the approved species listed in Table 9.6885(2)(e)2 within one <br />year from the date of removal or prior to final occupancy, whichever is later. <br />Maximum mitigation is the percentage of the minimum preservation. Mitigation is based on <br />proposed preservation. No trees are being preserved. <br /> <br />7. Trees planted to meet applicable landscape standards may be counted toward mitigation <br />requirements. <br />Maximum mitigation is the percentage of the minimum preservation. Mitigation is based on <br />proposed preservation. No trees are being preserved. <br /> <br />8. Except as provided in EC 9.8030(13)(b)(9), existing trees that are located on the <br />development site may be designated for preservation and counted toward mitigation <br />requirements in lieu of planting new trees if: <br />No existing trees are being preserved. <br /> <br />9. The provisions of EC 9.8030(13)(b)(8) do not apply to portions of a development site located <br />within the Willamette River Greenway. <br />The project is not located in the Willamette Greenway. <br /> <br />The proposed adjustment allows the site to accommodate affordable housing at the proposed <br />density while balancing the site’s physical constraints and applicable development standards. <br />Greater tree retention would substantially constrain grading, infrastructure, and building placement, <br />resulting in fewer housing units on the site. <br /> <br />All of the above criteria have been met. <br /> <br />We look forward to your review and approval of the Floral Hill Terrace Adjustment Review and the <br />addition of more housing opportunities, and healthy and context appropriate trees, for the city of <br />Eugene. <br /> <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC <br /> <br />Carol Schirmer <br />Principal <br />
