Chair Gengler asked for clarification on the methodology. <br />Senior Planner Anderson explained that each area marked with a green circle would have a mini <br />inventory completed, and that data would be extrapolated across the site. <br />Commissioner Musgrove stated that she likes this proposal, but was unsure if this is an extra step <br />in addition to a full tree inventory. She believed that the fixed radius count method would have <br />benefit but did not want it to be redundant. <br />Senior Planner Anderson replied that there would not be a full count completed. He clarified that <br />a full count would be done in the area of the house pad, utilities, and driveway to identify the <br />number of trees that would be removed. He explained that the fixed radius count and full count in <br />areas where trees are being removed will work together to determine if the number of trees being <br />removed remains under the allowed threshold. <br />Mr. Paulson stated that the properties are very thick with trees, estimating that the lots are 90 <br />percent trees. He stated that he will work with staff to thin the trees in some areas outside of the <br />building areas so that people have a usable lot. <br />Motion by Commissioner Musgrove, seconded by Commissioner Lubarski, to recommend that <br />City Council adopt Resolution #26-087, Granting a Variance to Utilize an Alternative <br />Methodology to Collect Tree Data for the Plat Known as Serenity at Rivers Edge. <br />Motion Carried.
