WRITTEN STATEMENT
824 S 70TM STREET - TREE FELLING
Branch Engineering Inc. Project No. 21-287
This Tree Felling Permit application is associated with a concurrent Tentative
Subdivision Application To build out the subdivision, it will be necessary to remove 37
trees (see included Tree Felling Plan for details). It is anticipated that the trees will be
chipped on-site and used as an erosion control measure. If this creates too much
material, the excess trees will be hauled out along S 701h Street. The tree removal criteria
are met as follows:
SDC 5.19-125 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.
Seven (7) trees to be removed are within the dedicated right-of-way and/or slope
easements, twenty-three (23) trees are in close enough proximity to building
envelopes and/or driveways, seven (7) trees are in close proximity to neighboring
properties. Those trees that are not within the dedicated right -or -way and/or slope
easements were reviewed for the potential of factors such as: significant root
impact, ability to protect during nearby tree removal, and windthrow. Those felt to
have a high level of impact are proposed for removal. The intent is to minimize
impact to neighbors by performing all tree removal at one time rather than
piecemeal during the buildout process.
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.
The subject property is in the Hillside Development Overlay Zone, however, this is
only due to its elevation. The average slope on site is less than 10%. The
geotechnical report submitted with the Tentative Subdivision Application details
soil stability and what mitigation factors need to be included with construction on
site. Due to being within a residential neighborhood the trees are not considered

commercial timber. The removal of trees will not have any long-term deleterious
effects on the surrounding physical and visual environment, because: (1) the site is
within a residential district and surrounded by fully developed lands. The
surrounding lands are at a residential and tree density equivalent to that proposed
for full buildout of the subdivision, (2) the trees are not uncommon or specimen
varieties that warrant special protection measures, and (3) none of the trees are
especially large, indicating they are likely recent regrowth that occurred after an
historic use of the land, and are not part of a larger intact woodland or mature
tree stand. The applicant is not aware of any State standards, Metro Plan policies
or City Ordinances that would prohibit the proposed removals.
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.
As shown on the plan included in this application and discussed above, trees are
either in the same location as improvements to be constructed, in areas directly
adjacent to improvements (which will be detrimental to the tree's long-term health),
or near adjacent properties and fence lines.
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:
This tree felling permit accompanies a Tentative Subdivision Application which
includes a public right-of-way dedication and its associated improvements. Many
of the smaller trees that abut neighboring properties are included in this
application to prevent windthrow, as the larger trees nearby will need to be
removed to allow for the development of the subdivision.
E. Whether the applicant's proposed replanting of new trees or vegetation is an
adequate substitute for the trees to be felled.
The Tentative Subdivision Application indicates that 32 street trees will be planted
by the project's end. The street trees will replace a large portion of the 37 trees that
are proposed for removal.
F. Whether slash left on the property poses significant fire hazard or liability to the
City.
Slash will not be left on the property at the end of construction.
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 Forest Practice Administrative Rules and Forest Practices Act apply to
forestlands. As demonstrated, this site does not qualify as a forestland per the
definition in OAR 629-600-0100. The site is within the City of Springfield UGB and
City Limits, and considered a vacant and developable portion of the city's

residential land inventory. Since the trees on site appear to be regrowth, based on
size, the proposed tree removal does not qualify as timber harvest or a commercial
logging operation. It is intended that the tree removal will follow state forestry
guidelines for safe operations and fire prevention during the removal of trees, slash
and debris.
H. Whether transportation of equipment to and equipment and trees from the site
can be accomplished without a major disturbance to nearby residents.
A small number of truckloads, if any, will be produced by the tree removal. As
most, if not all, of the trees on site will be chipped on-site for use as an erosion
control measure. Any truck loads from tree removal, should there be any, will be
negligible to the overall amount of haul trucks associated with full buildout of the
street, utilities and homes.
Truck traffic will be able to access the site through S 701, Street which connects
directly to Main Street, a main corridor for trucks. This will allow quick access to
haul routes and disposal sites for any potential tree debris.
