Hi Lisa – yes, if no tree removal is proposed, no arborist report/tree retention worksheet is required.

Hi Alex,
I’m following up with you on the previous questions about submittal requirements for Hazen HS, but this time in light of
the recent site plan change you have heard about. At this time we believe that there will be no tree removal. If there is
no tree removal, can the arborist report and tree retention worksheet be waived?
Thank you,
Lisa

Hi Lisa – yes and no, which I realize is not a great answer. The arborist can focus on the two parcels, but we will still be
reviewing for site‐wide compliance with the tree credit standards. This may be difficult to do without the arborist
looking at the entire site as a whole. If they think they can demonstrate compliance with our tree regulations without
inventorying the entire site, that is fine, but I believe it’d be difficult to meet the code requirements without doing so. If
you’d like to discuss more, please let me know and I’d be happy to give you a call.
Thank you,

Alex,
One follow up question for you on the arborist report and tree retention worksheet. Will it be acceptable is the arborist
focuses the report on the two affected tax parcels where the improvements will occur? In other words, instead of
looking at the entire 32‐acre Hazen High School Site, the arborist report will focus on tree retention within the two
parcels that comprise less than 10 acres?? This makes sense to me but we need to confirm with you.
Regards,
Lisa

Hi Lisa –
The geotech report, letter of understanding of geologic risk, and proof of neighborhood meeting are not needed.

Yes, an arborist report (or shorter memo) needs to be provided. This could also be prepared by a licensed landscape
architect.
Some projects require a detailed landscape plan up front, but most only need a conceptual plan (detailed plan is
typically submitted at time of civil or building permit review). In the case of this project, a conceptual plan is just fine.
Thank you,

Subject: Hazen HS ‐ Site Plan Review Waiver Items
Hi Alex,
I know you are working on our pre‐app meeting notes. The following items are what we understand would be waived
for SPR for Hazen HS portables. Could you please confirm?
Geotechnical Report
Letter of Understanding of Geologic Risk
Proof of Neighborhood meeting
There are questions related to trees and landscaping that needs clarification:
Arborist Report – the trees to be removed are in the parking lot, is an arborist report needed?
Why does the submittal checklist list both a conceptual landscape plan and a detailed landscape plan? Which of
these is needed for Hazen HS?
Thank you,
Lisa
