The site is located on Block 105, Lot 64.01, 460 Prospect Avenue in the Township of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey. There is an existing two story building on site facing Prospect Avenue. Parking is located two sides of the existing building. The proposed site improvements include demolishing the existing building and constructing a Mavis Tire Supply along with a new parking lot and associated site improvements. As a result of these improvements, a defined area of vegetation will be removed. A tree survey was conducted by Dynamic Engineering Consultants, PC to locate trees with a DBH of 4’’ or greater, identify their species, and their general condition. The existing trees to be removed within the limit of disturbance will be replaced. The demolition area contains mostly oak, maple, and pine species. The trees in this area vary in DBH and condition. Four (4) existing trees are within the limit of disturbance area. To address the tree removal requirements of the ordinance, viable trees within the area of disturbance shall be replaced. There are four (4) viable existing trees proposed to be removed within the limit of disturbance including one (1) tree between 4” and 6” diameter and three (3) trees greater than 6” diameter. For greater detail on tree species to be replaced, see the chart provided on the Demolition & Tree Removal Plan (Sheet 4 of 23 in the Site Plan Set). All four (4) trees to be removed are viable and shall be replaced per ordinance section 28-8 and Table A. A total of thirteen (13) new trees are proposed as replacement trees. Four additional Evergreen Trees are proposed on the Landscape Plan. The Landscape Plan proposes nine (9) deciduous replacement trees at 4-4 ½” caliper including Quercus coccinea (Scarlet Oak), Tilla Americana ‘Redmond’ (Redmond Linden), Amelanchier laevis ‘Snowcloud’ (Snowcloud Serviceberry), Cericis Canadensis ‘JN2’ (Rising Sun Redbud) and three (3) Juniperus Virginiana ‘Corcorcor’ (Emerald Sentinel Red Cedar) evergreen trees at a minimum of six (6) foot height and 4-4 ½” caliper.
