Calcs.dac Sam BurgesslNHC Tp bmitchell@espassociates.com 09126!2006 10:45 AM cc bcc Subject Anchors Bend Tree Mitigation Barry, Your client's proposal to mitigate 59 trees in the Anchors Bend project has been reviewed by Planning staff. Please note the following comments: ~ This mitigation plan appears to have more significant trees than the original preliminary plan that was approved in January, 2006. The original plan displayed approximately 40 trees. Question: Has the road network been adjusted to encompass more significant trees or is this new tree plan a refinement from the January plan? ~ Calculations for the 2"and 3" caliper trees is good. However, if a fee is paid, the amount per tree would be 295 dollars or 383,500 dollars for 1,300 2" caliper trees. *~` Pls be advised that we still need 5 updated paper copies of the preliminary plan for TRC Chairman signature. The updated plan would be based on the requirements of the January approval letter sent to you in Feb.** Thanks, Sam S.A.
