Re: Tree Mitigation Ordinance Appeal
Tree Board Meeting, Monday, September 15, 2014
SUBJECT:
Discuss and make recommendation to Town Council regarding an appeal to the Tree Mitigation
Ordinance for Trophy Club Commons, located at 925 Trophy Club Dr.
HISTORY:
A zoning change from “CR” – Commercial Recreation to “CG” – Commercial General was
approved by Town Council on September 22, 2008. The Final Plat and Site Plan for Phase I and II
were approved by Town Council on January 17, 2011.
EXPLANATION:
The applicant removed 892 caliper inches of protected trees from the site and has proposed to
plant a total of 475 caliper inches throughout the entire site – Phases 1 and 2. This would leave
a remaining deficit of 417 caliper inches to be mitigated. With the density planned for this site,
the applicant does not have enough room to plant all of the caliper inches required by
mitigation. Therefore the applicant is seeking an appeal to the Tree Mitigation Ordinance to
allow a reduced planting schedule. The fee for tree mitigation is $150.00 per caliper inch for
protected trees. The fee for the tree mitigation for this site would currently be $62,550.00.

in a hazardous or dangerous condition so as to endanger the public health, welfare or safety,
and require immediate removal without delay, authorization for removal may be given by the
Town Manager or his designee upon the request of the owner of the property upon which the
tree is located, and such Protected, Specimen, Majestic or Historic Tree may then be removed
without obtaining a written permit as required by this Chapter.
b. During the period of an emergency, such as a tornado, storm, flood or other act of God, the
requirements of this Chapter may be waived as deemed necessary by the Town Manager or
his designee.

Section 8.08 Tree Removal and Replacement
A. Removal of Protected Trees: No person, directly or indirectly, shall cut down, destroy, remove or
effectively destroy through damaging any Protected, Specimen, Historic or Majestic Tree, on any
real property within the Town without first obtaining a Tree Removal Permit, as provided in Section
8.10, Tree Permits, unless otherwise exempted by the terms of this Chapter.
B. Permit Required: Protected, Specimen, Historic or Majestic Trees shall not be removed prior to the
issuance of a Tree Removal Permit, as provided in Section 8.10. Under no circumstances shall the
clear-cutting of Protected, Specimen, Historic or Majestic Trees on any real property within the Town
be allowed prior to the issuance of a Tree Removal Permit for such property.
C. Replacement Trees Required: It shall be the responsibility of any person obtaining a Tree Removal
Permit to provide replacement tree(s) according to the following criteria:
1. Protected Trees:
Replace with tree(s) having a total caliper width equivalent to one and one-half (1½) times that
of the trees to be removed.
Specimen Trees:
Replace with tree(s) having a total caliper width equivalent to two (2) times that of the trees to
be removed.
Historic or Majestic Trees:
Replace with tree(s) having a total caliper width equivalent to two and one-half (2½) times that
of the trees to be removed.
“Total caliper width” for replacement trees shall be measured as follows: For single-trunk trees,
the width shall be measured at one foot (1’) above ground level. For multi-trunk trees, “total
caliper width” shall be calculated by combining the caliper width of the largest stem or branch
with one-half of the caliper width of each additional stem or branch, all measured at one foot
(1’) above ground level.
Example: If a 6-inch (6”) Protected Tree is removed, then that tree must be replaced by
trees with a total caliper width of nine inches (9”). This total caliper width could be
satisfied by one (1) nine-inch (9”) caliper replacement tree, or three (3) three inch (3”)
caliper width replacement trees, or any other combination providing a total caliper width
of nine inches (9”).
b. Such replacement trees shall be container-grown and have a minimum caliper width of two and
one-half inches to three inches (2½” to 3”), measured at one foot (1”) above ground level.
Alternatively, container-grown replacement trees may have a minimum caliper width of four
inches (4”) measured at one foot (1”) above ground level. In any event, replacement trees shall
have a minimum height of at least six feet (6’).
c. At the discretion of the Town Manager or his designee. monetary compensation may be paid to
the Town instead of providing the replacement trees as required by this Chapter. Any such
payments shall be deposited in a special account or fund and used by the Town to provide
and/or support supplemental landscape plantings in public areas of the Town or to support the
administration and enforcement of the Town’s tree preservation regulations. A per-caliper-inch
cash value for replacement trees shall be set annually by the Town Council after review and
recommendation by the Tree Board. The Town Manager or his designee shall maintain a
Parks and Recreation Board 14 of 50 September 15, 2014
Chapter 12 – Subdivision Rules & Regulations
Rev. 02/15/10
record of the current per-caliper-inch cash value of replacement trees.
D. Acts Specifically Prohibited: The following acts are prohibited:
1. It shall be unlawful for a person to violate any provision of this Chapter.
2. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove or cause to be removed from real property subject
to this Chapter a Protected, Specimen, Historic or Majestic tree without first obtaining a Tree
Removal Permit.
3. It shall also be unlawful for a person to cause or to allow to cause a tree to be injured as a
result of a failure to follow and / or require the use of tree protection measures specified herein
such that the tree dies or may reasonably be expected to die.
E. Replacement Required Upon Conviction of Offense: If a person fails to obtain a Tree Removal
Permit as required by this Chapter, then upon conviction of such violation in municipal court or upon
the entry of a plea of guilty or no contest, such person shall in addition to the fine imposed by the
court, provide a replacement tree or trees for each such violation. The replacement tree(s) shall
have a total caliper width equivalent to:
Protected Trees: Five (5) times that of the removed tree(s).
Specimen Trees: Ten (10) times that of the removed tree(s).
Majestic or Historic Trees: Fifteen (15) times that of the removed tree(s).
Such replacement trees shall be container-grown and have a minimum caliper width of two and one-
half inches to three inches (2½” to 3”), measured at one foot (1’) above ground level. In any event,
replacement trees shall have a minimum height of at least six feet (6’).

I. Utilities: No trees other than small species may be planted under or within ten (10) lateral feet of any
overhead utility wire, or over or within five (5) lateral feet of any underground water line, sewer line,
transmission line or other utility.
J. Public Tree Care: The Town shall have the right to plant, prune, maintain and remove trees, plants

such public grounds.
K. Tree Topping: It shall be unlawful as a normal practice for any person to top any tree located on

lamp or obstruct the view of any street intersection and so that there shall be a clear space of eight
feet (8’) above the surface of the street or sidewalk. Said owners shall remove all dead, diseased or
dangerous trees, or broken or decayed limbs which constitute a menace to the safety of the public.
The Town shall have the right to prune any tree or shrub on private property when it interferes with
the proper spread of light along the street from a streetlight or interferes with visibility of any traffic
control device or sign.

shall not be required to be stored within the designated stockpile areas.
3. During construction, the developer shall prohibit the cleaning of equipment or materials and/or
the disposal of any waste material, including, but not limited to, paint, oil, solvents, asphalt,

Historic Tree or group thereof.
4. No attachments or wires of any kind, other than those of a protective nature, shall be attached to
any Protected, Specimen, Historic or Majestic Tree.
5. With major grade changes of six inches (6”) or greater, a retaining wall or tree well of rock, brick,
or other approved materials shall be constructed around the tree no closer than the drip line of
the tree. The top of the retaining wall or tree well shall be constructed at the new grade.
6. Unless otherwise approved by the Town Manager or his designee or the Town Tree Board, no

drive or parking lot must be constructed within the drip line of a protected tree, it shall be
constructed no closer than five feet (5’) from the trunk of such protected tree provided further
that the portion of any driveway or parking lot constructed within the drip line of any Protected,
Specimen, Majestic or Historic Tree or group thereof shall be constructed of pavestone or other
permeable materials as approved by the Town Manager or his designee.

Motion from Trophy Club Town Council at June 2, 2014 Council Meeting
Item #12: Consider and take appropriate action regarding Royal Troon neighborhood concerns
regarding the following:
a. Buffer behind homes
b. Parking
c. Noise
d. Light
e. Park use
CM Mayer asked if we had any park funds. CM Mayer stated that Ms. Folley, Mr. Fitzgerald and Mike
Buck all made very good points in working towards a solution and since there are going to be some park
funds, he would like to refer this to the Park Board and have them work with the citizens and let them
bring in Adam and whoever else, the Police Chief and everybody else that would need to be involved to
resolve this issue. Mayor Pro Tem Lamont 2nd the motion
Mayor Sanders: I have a motion of referral for the Park Board to work with the citizens. Do I have a
2nd? Mayor Pro Tem Lamont 2nd the motion
Mayor Sanders: The Motion was made by CM Mayer. Mayor Sanders asked for any discussion.
CM Rowe feels that this pertains to any issue relating to the buffer, that we wait to gather more facts
regarding the buffer before we entertain solutions of any scope. He personally advises rather than
moving forward with that type of a discussion now that we first so something to do more fact finding.
CM Mayer addressed his reason for motion to refer to Park Board. The Park Board is a recommending
body and can delve into any one of those issues and the can draw up a set of recommendations and
bring them to us. That is why we have a Park Board and they can address every single issue that has
been brought up tonight and bring recommendations for it. If the Council tries to undertake this…how
many times have we been here, Mike? I think the Park Board has some funds that they can utilize that
we can’t get into. They have to bring that recommendation to us.
CM Rowe – I do agree. I would like staff to gather data to see if we are in full compliance or if Park
Board comes back and says there is ambiguity, the Town needs to do more.

location for a community garden. The far corner of Harmony Park looks feasible. This

representative is interested in the back part of the dog park as the ideal location; this site
would take some work to adjust the current dog park fencing. Town staff will assist with
