Base line canopy coverage is the canopy coverage existing at the time the development
application is filed with the city. Minimum canopy coverage is determined by using the
matrix.
Priority shall be given to retaining stands of trees and undisturbed wooded lands over
individual specimen trees that will be incorporated into the development. No more than
ten percent of the canopy retention requirement may be met by an individual tree that is
not included within a designated woodland area.
For developments that do not meet the minimum canopy coverage, the developer shall be
required to develop a planting plan to bring the total canopy coverage up to the minimum
requirement.
For development that removes canopy area or trees that would otherwise be used to meet
the canopy coverage retention requirement, the developer shall develop a replacement
plan. The replacement plan must designate an area at least one and two -tenths times the
removed canopy coverage area that shall be planted with replacement trees for those
removed. This plan shall locate additional trees either as a continuation of existing stands
of trees that are to be preserved or create new stands of trees in desirable locations such
as along roadway corridors, on the north and west perimeters of the development, in
common open areas, or adjacent to park facilities.
The following criteria shall be followed in establishing minimum canopy coverage:
0
1.
When planting trees, one tree shall be deemed to provide 1,089 square feet of
required canopy coverage;
2.
Trees must be from the approved list of desirable species (preference given for
trees designated as native);
3.
No more than one-third of the trees may be from any one tree species;
4.
Trees shall average at least two -and -one -half -inch caliper and may be a minimum
of one -and -one -half -inch caliper;
5.
Not less than 20 percent of the trees shall be conifers;
6.
Conifer trees shall average seven feet and shall be a minimum of six feet in
height;
7.
Plant materials used for the reforestation shall be of a similar species as
vegetation found on site;
8.
Trees shall be used that are appropriate to the soil conditions found on site; and
9.
Trees shall be from certified nursery stock as defined and controlled by M.S. §
18H.02.
