TREE FELLING —STANDARDS, CRITERIA AND FINDINGS This section is presented in the same order of applicable requirements found in Section 5.19-125, Tree Felling Permit Criteria of the Springfield Development Code. Applicable sections of the code are in bold italics, followed by proposed findings in normal text. The location, species, and size of the trees proposed for removal are shown on the enclosed Tree Felling Plan. The removal will be completed by a contractor licensed to do the work using accepted site clearing and tree felling techniques and procedures. On-site supervision will be present at the time of removal to ensure that no damage to surrounding properties occurs. 5.1&125 Criteria The director, in consultation with the Public Works Director and the Fire Chief shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the request based on the following criteria: A. 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. Response: The proposal is for new construction, which warrants the proposed felling. Development of the property will require removal of the majority of the existing trees on the site. Most of the trees are randomly occurring in the former residential yard. However, there are two deciduous trees that are proposed to remain. They are located along the Deadmond Ferry frontage. Along with new building construction, grading, paving, site utilities and other improvements will occur. The random location of the existing trees, coupled with their condition, does not lend itself to attempts at retaining the exiting trees. All in all, the post -development appearance of the site will be significantly improved over the current, pre -development, appearance. 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 trees and windbreaks; wildlife; erosion, soil retention and stability, volume of surface runoff and water quality of streams; scenic quality, and geological sites.

Felling of trees proposed to be removed will not have an adverse impact on environmental quality or other trees in the area; they are not located in close proximity to trees to be retained and the remaining trees will be protected prior to removal. The subject site is flat and located within a developed area. The removal of trees will not affect erosion, soil retention, and stability. Volume of surface runoff and water quality of streams will not be impacted by the removal of the trees. C. Whether it is necessary to remove trees in order to construct proposed improvements as specified in an approved development plan, grading permits and construction drawings. Response: It is necessary to remove trees to construct the proposed development. An accompanying Site Plan Review application and plan set document tree removal as well as areas of trees to remain. D. 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. Response: A Site Plan Review application has been submitted for this project. To keep the project moving forward, the applicant has submitted the Tree Felling Permit application for concurrent processing with the Site Plan Review application. The project site is also within a residential neighborhood, so trees will be retained in areas where they will provide buffering and screening for residents. E. Whether the applicant's proposed replanting of new trees or vegetation is an adequate substitute for the trees to be felled. Response: Replacement trees will be of a 2" caliper in accordance with SDC 4.4-105(E)(1) and (F). As of now, there are 11 trees on the site. Nine (9) trees are proposed to be removed, while two (2) are proposed to remain. The quantity of new trees will meet SDC quantity requirements. The replacement quantity will be somewhere in the neighborhood of 2 to 3 times the number of trees to be removed. In accordance with SDC 4.4-105(F), new trees will meet city standards as set forth in the Springfield Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual. In regard to Vegetation and Re -Vegetation, the proposed planting plan will adequately replace existing trees with approved types and sizes of trees in appropriate locations. Furthermore, the entirety of the landscape improvements will include shrubbery, ground cover and lawn areas. All served with an automated underground clock -controlled irrigation system. F. Whether slash left on the property poses significant fire hazard or liability to the City. Response: All trees and slash will be removed from the site within 72 hours. No slash or other fire hazard posing liability to the City will result from the proposed removal of the trees. G. 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. The Seem Group •375 West 4" Avenue, Suite 201, Eugene, OR 97401•(541) 6864W• w satrearouo.com O'Connell & Associates, LLC 287 Deadmond Ferry Road Map 17-03-15-40, Lot 1800 Tree Fellinq Permit Page 8 of 8 Response: The proposed tree felling is consistent with the specified guidelines. The Oregon Department of Forestry, through its Community and Urban Forestry program, advocates for selecting appropriate tree species based on site conditions, avoiding invading exotic species, and reforesting the urban environment. As discussed above, the applicant is proposing practical replacement planting that include species from Springfield's approved species list that are compatible with the scale of the proposed development. H. Whether transportation of equipment to and equipment and trees from the site can be accomplished without a major disturbance to nearby residents. Response: Construction access to the site will be from Deadmond Ferry Road and will pass through a residential neighborhood. Tree felling activities will take place between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and will be of limited duration. Transportation of equipment and trees from the site will be accomplished without major disturbances to nearby property in compliance with this criterion. IV. IN CONCLUSION Based on the information and findings contained in this written statement and accompanying plans and attachments, the proposed development meets the Tree Felling criteria of approval contained in the Springfield Development Code. Therefore, the applicant requests that the City of Springfield approve the proposal. The applicant and their representatives are available for questions. We look forward to working with staff to ensure this project meets the goals and objectives of the applicant and the City of Springfield.
