• <br />Re-planting Plan <br />• <br />Trees that have been removed within the Environmentally Critical Area <br />require mitigation, re-planting of trees to offset the loss of tree canopy. The Code <br />Enforcement Division is requiring 3 trees be planted to replace the trees removed <br />without permitting and 2 trees be planted to replace those proposed for removal; <br />based on the City Planner's approval. <br />Five Alder trees were identified by Villas at Glenwood Terrace, Board <br />President as having been removed. Those trees were located behind buildings <br />H, I, J and K. On a ratio of 3:1, fifteen trees are the required replacement <br />quotient. <br />Fifty trees were inspected, following inspection, twenty-five trees were <br />found to represent high risk following a Tree Risk Assessment. These trees have <br />been flagged for removal or habitat snagging. On a ratio of 2:1, fifty trees will be <br />required in replacement. <br />The site already contains a large number of sizable mature trees, native to <br />the Pacific Northwest. In choosing replacement plantings, smaller growing native <br />trees considered as understory trees are recommended. This mix of smaller to <br />medium growing trees will replicate naturally occurring species. The <br />recommended species are shown below and were chosen for their adaptability to <br />moist soil conditions, filtered light and shady closed canopy conditions. <br />Using the City of Everett Municipal Code ECA tree replacement ratio, <br />sixty-five trees will be required and should be chosen from the following list: <br />• Serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia) Filtered light <br />• Black Hawthorn (Crataegus douglasii) Moist, open areas <br />• Oregon Ash (Fraxinus latifolia) Filtered light, moist, streamside site <br />• Pacific Yew (Taxus brevifolia) Shade bearing, under canopy, moist site <br />• Vine Maple (Acer circinatum) Filtered light, shade bearing, moist site <br />• Western Hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) Shade bearing, moist site <br />Plants should be of minimum 2 gallon size and can be located where <br />conditions are suitable based on characteristics described above, spaced on ten <br />foot centers. <br />Villas at Glenwood Terrace Tree Risk Assessment Robert W.
