• A landscape plan with street tree planting along Sycamore Road is provided. <br /> • In keeping with the rural character, no sidewalk is proposed along Sycamore <br /> Road. <br /> • A gravel area along Sycamore Road with a width of 8-feet is provided for <br /> walking/horseback riding and emergency off-street parking (as detailed below in <br /> Figure 3). <br /> Figure 3: NSSP Roadway Section for Sycamore Road <br /> Z_ <br /> t 001r . <br /> *,00•116. 7_ ,,_( . rtheii fah- E-- - - , <br /> nmo.ilex SIMr---- 1 - 1pf r tom! if f - -r,. <br /> 4( ! 4 �. <br /> a 1 } 11 ' • <br /> , r, t • .:*;.:4- <br /> . <br /> ,4 <br /> V • r <br /> ' -4n.11•3;4444'-. <br /> tl- ;ZY r�N t�Ch1.--1',.'146..%.011 <br /> AL{� .`�. ,� _+�1� i' <br /> i �' ;i !n- - 'I .I, 6..%.03.73.,z'iA est _ : . <br /> '�71' •ft f•iw _ : s.i i�1 Rl.r :wYY:�a:e.:J�erx2••SekXs .yh:24";.-i..1n A,a:r.iu' <br /> Sycamore SycamcceRod Rail :,_r.cu.i' <br /> lite (24'Pavement Widihj <br /> Plantings <br /> 8'Gravel Setback — <br /> Landscaping <br /> While a number of trees are proposed for removal, a majority of the trees are in poor <br /> health as noted in the Arborist Report, Exhibit D. The applicant has made an effort to <br /> retain most Heritage trees on-site. One Heritage tree, a 19.5-inch diameter valley oak in <br /> poor health in close proximity to the proposed residence, is proposed for removal. As <br /> previously articulated, a number of the proposed redwoods (which are slated for <br /> removal) were planted to screen a water tank to the rear of the residence which would <br /> remain in place with the proposed project. <br /> Staff finds that given the extensive planting plan, including approximately 50 trees to be <br /> planted, the proposed tree removal has been adequately mitigated and is acceptable. <br /> The proposed landscaping will plant new trees that that will be in better health and <br /> condition than the trees proposed to be removed, soften the mass of the proposed <br /> house toward the rear, continue serve to screen the water tank toward the south (rear) <br /> and sides (east and west) as required in application PCUP-205, and provide a <br /> landscape buffer screening the proposed residence from Sycamore Road. The <br /> Landscape Plans include photo simulations from Sycamore Road with the proposed <br /> residence and indicating one- and five-year growth of the landscaping, as shown in <br /> Figures 4 and 5 below. <br /> PUD-131, 481 Sycamore Rd.
