STREET TREE REMOVAL APPLICATION <br /> CITY OF EUGENE NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY <br /> 100 West 10th Avenue <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Page 9 <br /> completed as well as meet the project's need to move forward with the site demolition <br /> work this fall, minimizing any potential future financial risk due to tree related project <br /> delay. This approach will also provide a mutually respective environment in which both <br /> the City and the project will work together towards a goal of retaining as many existing <br /> trees as possible while achieving a building foot print size mandated by TOD <br /> requirements and the desire to produce a world -class library design. <br /> NUMBER, SPECIES AND SIZES OF TRESS PROPOSED FOR REPLACEMENT <br /> A total of eight (8) trees will be planted as shown on the PROPOSED SITE <br /> REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (Attachment C). Eight (8) new trees are being proposed as <br /> part of the site redevelopment including the adjacent right -of -ways along Charnelton <br /> and Olive Streets as well as along 10 Avenue. The species will be selected from the <br /> approved City list. <br /> PROPOSED LOGGING PLAN <br /> The Library project site is an urban site, completely covered with asphalt or concrete <br /> paving and an existing structure. Prior to the start of any work, the entire site will be <br /> fenced with a six foot high, chain link fence. In addition, prior to the start of work, the <br /> project will be providing full erosion control measures and obtain an erosion control <br /> permit from the City of Eugene for protection of adjacent streets, storm and sanitary <br /> sewers and other adjacent public improvements. Access to the trees to be removed will <br /> be from the interior of the lot to minimize the impact upon surrounding streets <br /> and neighboring businesses and residences. No access roads will be constructed and <br /> no grading, skid paths and any other environmental change will be required for the <br /> removal of the trees. As the site is currently completely covered with impermeable <br /> materials, there will be no impact upon wetlands, riparian zones or habitat. A <br /> comprehensive tree protection plan for the trees to remain on site has been completed <br /> by a consulting arborist and will be in effect throughout all phases of construction. <br /> (Attachment D) <br />
