' 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 (DBH) or greater, however, it did -not locate live oak (Quercus virginiana) trees within -the Oak Hammock preserve or sabal palm (Sabal palmetio) 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 (Pines elliottii)_trees will be preserved.in-place in these preserve areas, and in other areas that do not conflict with 'site development. All cabal palm trees measuring 10' or greater clear trunk will either be protected in -place, or they will be.transplaated 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. Uaavoidable.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. q x a Proposed mitigation for the unavoidable tree impacts consists.of the following: preservation of 2,3 86" DBH of live oak trees AN preservation of 484" DBH of slash pine trees Based on the SLC mitigatiom' ' act ratio oft" DBH mitigation required'per 1" DBH impact, it is �_. RLW's opinion that tree preservation for the proposed Emerson Estates PUD project will more than 7$ compensate for the proposed tree impacts. Trees to be preserved will be protected from impact during construction via the placement of baim"cades 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 vz:�h rvw 4i Ui Vz:4yp Ms. Amy Mott Resource Protection Coordinator.
