Several mature existing trees are located along Evergreen Drive in the Right of Way. We are proposing removal of a total of 9 trees (4 Conifers and 5 deciduous.) Five of these trees conflict with the proposed drive aisles and associated grading of the parking lot. Two of the trees conflict with proposed parking lot curbing and 2 trees are removed due to poor health (trunk splitting) or insignificant size. See attached plan for existing trees to be removed. For two other conifer trees that remain, we are proposing boulder retaining walls to protect trees from proposed grading conflicts.
