Three maple trees near the right-of-way line must be removed to accommodate the path. The <br />western -most tree (identified as Tree A) is in direct conflict with the path alignment. The center tree <br />(Tree B) will likely sustain root damage from the path's excavation and will therefore be removed to <br />prevent against its eventual demise. The eastern -most tree (Tree C) is also in direct conflict with the <br />path's alignment and is also currently dying. <br />Three replacement trees will be planted in order to minimize the impacts incurred from the loss of <br />Trees A, B, and C. The proposed replacement trees — "Bowhall" Maples — have been selected for <br />their similarity to the removed trees, while also having deep roots that will not eventually heave the <br />paths. Additionally, the trees are more columnar than those existing, which will prevent the canopy <br />from encroaching on the path. Four -inch caliper trees with an approximate height of 20 feet will be <br />planted. This size tree was chosen in lieu of a smaller, younger tree in an effort to provide a grown - <br />in, established appearance befitting to the landmark property. The replacement of Trees A and B <br />will be in similar locations to those removed, while Tree C will be replaced on the opposite side of <br />the driveway at the request of the homeowner. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />■ Aerial Image and Photos of Local Landmark Property <br />■ Illustration and Photos of Proposed Impacts to Local Landmark Property <br />
