West Orange WEHI preliminary report

2 1. The tree density equals 212 trees per acre, as per the Tree Study. 2. The maximum LOD shall not exceed thirty (30) acres, as per the Zoning Amendment ("Maximum LOD"). No LOD beyond the Maximum LOD shall be permitted under any circumstances. DEVIATION: Applicant has proposed a LOD of 27.5 acres. This is 2.5 acres lower than the allowable limit in the Agreement. 3. If the Maximum LOD is achieved, the maximum tree loss will be 6,360 trees (212 trees multiplied by 30 acres) ("Maximum Permitted Tree Loss"). 4. If less than the Maximum LOD is achieved ("Actual LOO"), then the actual tree loss ("Actual Tree Loss") will be calculated by multiplying 212 trees by the Actual LOO (for example, if only 25.5 acres are disturbed, then the Actual Tree Loss will be 5,406 trees). DEVIATION: The Applicant has reduced the maximum tree loss from 6,360 trees to 5,830 trees by virtue of reducing the LOD. v. WEHI will engage in tree planting and forest regeneration in accordance with the following activities, which are designed to provide credits against the Actual Tree Loss resulting in a net gain of trees planted and forest area protected for regeneration so that the Actual Tree Loss is reduced to less than zero: 1. Credit for each healthy major tree (Greater than 6" diameter) within the LOO that is protected in accordance with standard tree protection procedures during development and not removed as determined by the Township Forester. 2. Credit for each tree planted as the result of an approved landscape plan in accordance with the definition of Major (Greater than 6" Diameter Breast Height) and Minor (Less than 6" Diameter Breast Height) trees. Require that trees be native species for full credit. Prohibit invasive species as defined by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, or another approved source. Provide credit for each tree planted that is a non-native species and is non-invasive. 3. WEHI shall install thirty (30) acres of gated access deer fencing that is eight (8) feet in height in areas of the Subject Property outside of the LOD. Fenced area will be prioritized for location between the LOD and the West Essex Highlands Condominium Association (the "Association") to maximize regrowth and to maximize native understory growth to intercept runoff. WEHI shall receive a credit against the Actual Tree Loss in an amount of 212 trees for each acre of deer

ssociation") to maximize regrowth and to maximize native understory growth to intercept runoff. WEHI shall receive a credit against the Actual Tree Loss in an amount of 212 trees for each acre of deer fencing installed. If WEHI fulfills its obligation and installs the thirty (30) acres of deer fencing contemplated herein, then WEHI shall receive a credit against the Actual Tree Loss in the amount of 6,360 trees. a. Deer fencing will be maintained in perpetuity. DEVIATION: The Applicant has proposed the installation of 33.6 acres of Deer Fencing. This exceeds the amount in the Agreement by 3.6 acres. 4. It is the parties' intent that the installation of thirty (30) acres of deer fencing alone will reduce the Actual Tree Loss to zero or less than zero. However, should
