17 Tree Preservation and Replacement Per Section 6.3 of City of Vancouver Trees Bylaw For each tree a person removes from a site, the owner of the site must plant: a) one replacement tree described in Part 1 of Schedule D; b) two replacement trees described in Part 2 of Schedule D; or c) a tree or trees acceptable to the Director of Planning; except in the case of a sloping site, the owner may plant one replacement tree set out in either Part 1 or Part 3 of Schedule D. Table 2: Species Summary of Surveyed Area Tree Species Retain Remove Deciduous Trees 19 Norway Maple 4 Black Locust 1 Apple Tree 5 Coniferous Trees 19 Western Red Cedar 0 1 Total 48 1 As noted in Table 1 and Image 3, there are a number of trees whose canopy overhangs the existing parking lot by (5) to (6) meters. Trucks and cars currently park below this canopy without causing any damage to the canopy or adjacent trees. During Construction, the area is off-limits to larger trucks whose height may damage the adjacent canopy. Please see the Tree Protection Drawing for the location of Tree Protection Fencing and follow the guidelines as outlined in Appendix A and the Tree Protection Diagram.
