The proposed project is an office building at the corner of Nickles and Evergreen drive with an
associated parking lot. 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.
