Maximum Existing Proposed Increase Remaining <br /> Development Area 13,320 10,283 13,201 2,918 119 <br /> Floor Area 5,616 5,591 0 0 25 <br /> Trees and Landscaping <br /> In 2001, the property owner removed existing vegetation from the property, including <br /> several heritage oak trees, without benefit of Town approval. The removal of trees and <br /> shrubs on the property exposed the view of two 20' tall water tanks on the adjacent parcel <br /> to the neighbors. As a condition of the new residence approval, the Planning <br /> Commission required the applicant to immediately revegetate the area to mitigate the <br /> negative view impacts that resulted from removal of existing trees and shrubs that <br /> occurred prior to project approval. <br /> During an inspection of the property in September 2006, staff found that two 24" box <br /> prunus caroliana and a 72" box quercus agrifolia that were required to be planted in front <br /> of the water tanks were missing or dead. Staff is recommending that three replacement <br /> trees, including one (1) oak tree with minimum dimensions of 25'(tall) x 16" (wide) and <br /> two (2) 24" box prunus caroliana trees, be planted in the same area prior to final <br /> inspection of the new residence. (Condition#3) <br /> Replant 1 oak and 2 prunus caroliana <br /> y s trees in front of water tank <br /> L <br /> View from driveway looking south towards water tanks <br />
