of Table 9.6855(2)(c). Minimum preservation is based on the total existing <br />Diameter Breast Height (d.b.h.) of significant trees within each specific <br />location category prior to development. Maximum mitigation is the <br />percentage of the minimum preservation that may be mitigated according <br />to subsection 2. below. <br /> <br />Table 9.6885(2)(d) Tree Preservation and Mitigation <br />Minimum Maximum <br />Location Category <br />Preservation Mitigation <br />Outside the South Hills Area 40% 100% <br />Within the South Hills Area, between 500 feet and 900 feet 50% 50% <br />elevation <br />Within the South Hills Area, at or above 900 feet elevation 50% 0% <br />1. A Tree Preservation and Removal Plan is required except as provided <br />in EC 9.6885(2)(c) or EC 9.6885(2)(d)3. The plan must be prepared by <br />a certified arborist, licensed landscape architect, licensed engineer, or <br />licensed surveyor and shall provide the following: <br />a. A table, organized by the location categories listed in Table <br />9.6885(2)(d), listing all significant trees on the development site <br />and including the following information for each listed tree: <br />(1) Diameter Breast Height (d.b.h.) <br />(2) Preservation, removal, or mitigation status <br />(3) Common name, genus and species <br />b. A site plan that includes the following information: <br />(1) The locations of all significant trees on the development site, <br />the Diameter Breast Height (d.b.h.) for each significant tree, <br />whether each significant tree is to be preserved, removed, <br />or mitigated according to EC 9.6885(2)(c)2, and the location <br />of the critical root zone (CRZ) for each significant tree to be <br />preserved. <br />(2) The location of all existing and/or proposed public and <br />private utility easements, driveways, and areas of grading or <br />excavation on the development site. <br />(3) The location of all existing development on the site as well <br />as the location of development proposed in the land use <br />application that triggers the requirement for a Tree <br />Preservation and Removal Plan. <br />(4) Proposed lot or parcel boundaries. <br />(5) For development sites with any portion located within the <br />South Hills Area, identification of areas at or above 500 feet <br />elevation and areas at or above 900 feet elevation. <br />c. A written statement from a certified arborist or licensed landscape <br />architect that the Tree Preservation and Removal Plan meets EC <br />9.6885(2)(d) Tree Preservation Requirements.
