Ms. Amy 14ott Resource Protection Coordinator, SLC Environmental Resources DiVision Emerson Estates PUD Vegetation Removal Permit Application RLW File #02-106.03 8 October 2003 Page 2 John G. ' Albritton & Associates, Inc. completed a Tree Survey for the project site in accordance with the methodology agreed to by SLC, as described in RLW's letter dated 30 April 2003 to yourself. John G. _Albritton & Associates, Inc. submitted three (3) signed and sealed copies ofthe Tree Survey to Hank Flores, SLC Planning. and Zoning, on 3 June 2003. The approved methodology located all native trees 12" diameter at breast height {D$H) or greater; however•, it did'not locate live oak (Quercus virginiana) trees within -the Oak Hammock preserve or sabal palm (Sabal palmetto) trees. Live oak trees within the Oak Hammock Preserve -were measured and counted; however, they were not located. The project site predominantly consists of improved cattle pasture'and has been disturbed by past clearing and long-term agricultural management. Although the project site does not include any areas of native upland habitat, the Applicant has designed the proposed Site Plan to avoid impacts to'the largest concentration of live oak trees on -site via designating an Oak Hammock preserve area in the northwestern portion of the project site. Additionally, two (2)..sabal palm preserve areas (north and south) are designated along the western -central property boundary. Live oak and slash pine (Pinus elliottii).trees will be preserved -in -place in these preserve areas, and in other areas that do not contiict with 'site development. All cabal palm'trees measuring 10' or greater clear trunk will either be protected in -place, or they will be:transpiaated from the development site to the preserve, buffer or other landscaped areas. Unavoidable impacts to protected trees consists of the removal of live oak and slash pine trees that are located within development areas or utility corridors that " cannot be practically relocated. Unavoidable.tree impacts consist of the following: removal of a total of 904" DBH of live oak trees removal of a total of 88" DBH of slash pine trees. Proposed mitigation for the unavoidable tree impacts consists.of the following:. preservation of 2,386" DBH of live oak trees preservation of 484" DBH of slash pine trees Based *on the SLC mitigationdmpact ratio of2" DBH mitigation required*per 1" DBH RLW'• s opinion that tree preservation for the proposed Emerson Estates PUD project will more than compensate for the proposed tree impacts. Trees to be preserved will be protected from impact during construction via the placement of barricades to be installed at the trees' drip line. The oak hammock and sabal palm preserve areas will be managed and monitored in accordance with the Nov 27 07 02:49p p,6 Ms. Amy Mott Resource Protection Coordinator.
