This permit covers 17 trees that are proposed to be removed for construction of retaining walls and embankment to complete the approved project improvements. This written statement addresses the tree removal permit approval criteria of the Springfield 5.19-125 Criteria. Text from the code is italics and the responses are in plain text. SDC 5.19-125 Permit Criteria 1. Whether the conditions of the trees with respect to disease, hazardous or unsafe conditions, danger of falling, 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. Primarily the proposed removed trees are located behind a retaining wall and associated geo-grid. 2. Whether the proposed felling is consistent with State standards, Metro Plan policies and city ordinances and provisions affecting the environmental quality of the ama,nnsloding but not limited to, the protection of nearby trees and windbreaks; wildlife; 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 to provide much needed housing. Trees proposed for removal are a minor number compared to the total number of trees in the area. The removal of these trees will not adversely affect scenic quality, water quality or cause erosion issues. 3. 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. The trees proposed to be removed have critical root zones within the approved construction zone. We are proposing to remove trees that more than 30% of the critical root zone is compromised. This is an accepted standard to promote the safety of trees to remain. 4. In the event that no Development Plan has been approved by the City, felling of trees will be permitted on a limited basis consistent with the preservation of the site's future development potential as prescribed in the. Metro Plan and City development regulations, and consistent with the following criteria. Woodland Ridge Subdivision was approved by the City of Springfield (Case Number: 811-18-000007-TYP2). 5. Whether the applicant's proposed replanting of new trees or vegetation is an adequate substitute for the trees to be felled. The proposal is to revegetate the areas behind the wall with hydroseed and some small shrubs where there is geo-grid. Four replacement trees are proposed behind the geo-grid. 6. Whether slash left on the property poses significant fire hazard or liability to the City. Slash created from the tree removal process will be removed from the site to reduce fire hazard. 7. Whether the felling is consistent with the guidelines specified in the Field Guide to Oregon Forestry Practices Rules published by the State of Oregon, Department of Forestry, as they apply to the northwest Oregon region. Tree felling is consistent with adopted guidelines and published rules. 8. Whether transportation of equipment to and equipment and trees from the site can be accomplished without a major disturbance to nearby residents. The tree removal process is incorporated into the larger subdivision construction project. Construction traffic will use the former Weyerhaeuser (Booth Kelly) haul road to minimize disturbance to adjacent residential areas. This request for a tree removal permit is in compliance with the approval criterion for Springfield 5.19-125; thus the applicant respectfully requests that the City approve this application.
