Scott, Urban Forester DATE: June 7, 2016 SUBJECT: Tree Preservation Area Modification- Modification of a tree preservation area on the Walton Art Center grounds facing N. West Avenue in order to install public art. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval to modify an existing Tree Preservation Area and to approve proposed improvements associated with the Walton Art Center Facility in the Tree Preservation Area for the purpose of installing public art, with conditions of approval. BACKGROUND: A Tree Preservation Area was dedicated to meet the minimum tree preservation requirements for the Walton Arts Center Expansion. The tree preservation area is located on the western side of the Walton Art Center facility facing N. West Avenue (see attached easement plat). The area is adjacent to the Grubs Patio and is a highly manicured lawn including brick walls, rose bushes, ornamental perennials and a grove of trees. The area has served as a semi-public space since its creation. Any modification of the established Tree Preservation Area requires City Council approval. DISCUSSION: The applicant is proposing to remove one Honey Locust and one Smoke Tree in order to construct public art including a fountain and sculpture, to relocate two existing sculptures and to construct associated permeable brick pavers in the Tree Preservation Area. Additionally, the applicant is proposing to plant additional perennials and install two benches. To offset the impact of the tree removal, the applicant is proposing to mitigate with six honey locusts, five in the proposed area and one additional tree towards Grubs. Pervious pavement will be used to minimize the impact to the roots of the existing trees. The applicant is currently under construction with an approved landscape plan that does not include these improvements (see attached approved landscape plan). Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street wwwfayetteviile-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 Staff's opinion is that this particular tree preservation area is a well -manicured public green space located in an urban area that serves as more of a garden park than a natural area. Tree preservation areas are typically more natural, minimally maintained areas serving as woodlands and are purposely not maintained to allow the forest to regenerate and evolve without disturbance. This particular area is a highly designed and utilized greenspace that serves the citizens as a stylized garden rather than a natural area The area has already been somewhat impacted by the intense use by the public. Soil around tree roots has experienced compaction from traffic and maintenance activities. Staff agrees with the applicant and allowing the proposed trees to be removed and other improvements to be made along with the proposed mitigation will continue with the spirit and tradition of the designed garden next to the Walton Art Center in this urban area. Conditions of Approval: Staff recommends in favor of the variance based on the findings discussed earlier in the staff report, subject to the following conditions: a., Six trees to be planted in the existing tree preservation area; species subject to staff approval. b. The applicant adhere to standard City of Fayetteville planting detail. c. The applicant will coordinate with Urban Forestry to ensure continued protection of the existing site during construction. d. The applicant will use low impact construction methods to avoid damage to the existing trees on site. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: None.
