This Correction Permit covers 11 additional trees that were removed to complete construction of a retaining wall and associated geo-grid. This was necessary due to retaining wall design not being complete until months after Tree Removal Permit was issued. This written statement addresses the tree removal permit approval criteria of the Springfield 5.19-125 Criteria. Text from the code is in italics and the responses are in plain text. SDC 5.19-125 Permit Criteria A. Whether the conditions of the trees with respect to disease, hazardous or unsafe conditions, danger offalling, proximity to existing structures or proposed construction, or interference with utility services or pedestrian or vehicular traffic safety warrants the proposed felling The trees proposed to be removed are in proximity to proposed construction and need to be removed to complete required improvements related to the Woodland Ridge Subdivision approval. The additional trees removed were assessed by a Certified Arborist (Scott Clifton) to retain as many as could safely remain on site post -construction. B. Whether the proposed felling is consistent with State standards, Metro Plan policies and City Ordinances and provisions affecting the environmental quality of the area, including but not limited to, the protection of nearby tress and windbreaks; wildlife; erosion, soil retention and stability; volume of surface runoff and water quality of streams; scenic quality; and geological sites. The trees need to be removed to construct the improvements required by the subdivision approval. However, we are taking the existing Cottonwoods and placing them in wetland mitigation areas on the site to provide wildlife habitat. Replacement trees and shrubs are shown on the attached landscape plan behind retaining wall. This plan was reviewed and designed by David Anderson (Landscape Architect) and Scott Clifton (Certified Arborist). C. Whether it is necessary to remove trees in order to construct proposed improvements as specified in an improved development plan, grading permits and construction drawings. We removed trees necessary to construct the required retaining wall improvements related to the Woodland Ridge subdivision and hazardous trees identified by the Arborist.
