STREET TREE REMOVAL APPLICATION <br /> CITY OF EUGENE NEW PUBLIC LIBRARY <br /> 100 West 10 Avenue <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Page 13 <br /> 19 trees proposed for removal. The necessary cutting of the roots and <br /> probable compaction of the soil in the root zones would stress these trees <br /> to the point where the health of these tress would be compromised. <br /> (3) Adequacy of the proposal, if any, to plant vegetation to mitigate <br /> environmental effects of the removal of the trees to be felled; <br /> As part of the Library project's redevelopment of the site and adjacent <br /> right -of -way, a total of eight (8) trees will be planted as shown on the <br /> PROPOSED SITE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN (Attachment C). Eight (8) <br /> new trees are being proposed as part of the site redevelopment including <br /> the adjacent right -of -ways along Charnelton and Olive Streets as well as <br /> along 10 Avenue. The species of the trees will be selected from the City <br /> of Eugene's approved list of street trees. <br /> The environmental effects of the tree felling should be minimal and <br /> temporary. A comprehensive tree protection plan has been designed by <br /> Arborist, Nathaniel Sperry and will be in effect during all phases of <br /> • <br /> construction to minimize effects on remaining trees. The construction of <br /> the main portion of the project is intended to begin in August of 2000 and <br /> last through March of 2002. When complete, the project will have a <br /> number of planted areas surrounding the structure. These areas will also <br /> include the planting of shrubs and groundcover. <br /> (4) The effect the tree removal will have on the environmental quality of the <br /> area, including scenic and wildlife habitat values; and <br /> This is an urban site now fully covered with paving and existing structures. <br /> The temporary Toss of canopy will be mitigated through the replacement of <br /> approximately eight (8) trees to be planted around the perimeter of site. <br /> Given that this is an urban site, there should be very little, if any impact on <br /> wildlife habitat values. <br /> The impact upon the surrounding area should be minimal and temporary. <br /> The construction of the main portion of the project is intended to begin in <br /> August of 2000 and last through March of 2002. When complete, the <br /> project will have developed a number of planted areas surrounding the <br /> structure. These areas will also include the planting of shrubs and <br /> groundcover. <br />
