RE: Tree Removal at St. Andrews Estates lots 21 & 22.
The City of Coppell Tree Ordinance does protect the trees in question on lots 21, & 22. The (2) trees in
question are #1764 (60" texas ash tree) and #348 (30" pecan). By removing the trees the tree mitigation
will be as follows:
GROSS RETRIBUTION
PRESERVATION CREDIT
(trees preserved on site divided by total trees on site to get %)
LANDSCAPE CREDIT
NET RETRIBUTION

BALANCE DUE

-~11,800
$3,000
Holmes Builders has already pulled a tree removal permit for the St. Andrews Project, and tree
retribution payment was made in the amount of $11,800. The additional tree removals will require an
additional $3,000 to be paid in tree retribution. Per your request, the City will consider additional trees
planted on lots 21 & 22 to help off set some of the cost of tree retribution. It will be difficult to off set the
entire $3,000 due to the fact that by ordinance there is a 50% max for landscape credits. Meaning if you
plant (6) 6" trees or 36 caliper inches, you will receive a landscape credit of 18" or $1,800. Holmes
Builders will be short 30" on lots 21 & 22. It would require the planting of 60" to off set the retribution.
There does not appear to be enough room on the lot to plant (10) 6" caliper trees on the two lots. I would
suggest that you plant (3) 6" caliper trees on each lot (#21, & #22) which will give you a landscape credit
of 18" or $1,800. The remaining tree retribution balance of $1,200 will need to be paid to the City of
Coppell Reforestation and Natural Areas Fund.
All tree retribution fees & landscape credits must be taken care of prior to The City Final Buildin.q
Inspection, or two years which ever comes first.
Should you have any questions, please contact me.
Thank You
