Tree Protection Plan 15 Alan Streetrcd 5 7 2026

TREE PROTECTION PLAN 15 Alan Street — Garage Expansion Project: Garage Expansion — 15 Alan Street Property: Block 146, Lot 72, West Orange, NJ Property Owner: Max Grossman Date: April 26, 2026 Submitted in Response To: Township Engineer Memorandum dated April 24, 2026 (Section IV — Tree Removal) 1. Purpose This Tree Protection Plan is submitted in response to the Township Engineer’s review memorandum dated April 24, 2026 (Section IV), and addresses the protection of trees adjacent to the proposed garage expansion at 15 Alan Street. No trees on the subject property are proposed for removal as part of this application. 2. Tree of Concern A single mature tree located on the adjacent property to the northwest of the subject site (58 valley way) has a canopy that partially overhangs the existing garage and the proposed construction area. The relevant conditions are as follows: • The tree trunk is located approximately 5 feet inside the neighboring property to the northwest, on the opposite side of an existing 8-foot-tall solid fence that runs along the shared property line. • The tree’s canopy is sufficiently high above grade that no canopy trimming is required to accommodate construction. • No other trees on or adjacent to the subject property will be affected by the proposed work. 3. Foundation and Excavation Approach The proposed garage expansion has been designed specifically to minimize any impact on the adjacent tree: • Existing foundation reuse. The portion of the existing garage foundation located beneath the area of canopy overhang will be preserved and reused as part of the new structure. No excavation, removal, or disturbance of this existing foundation will occur aside from the 3 footers noted in the engineering plans. • New foundation setback from canopy. All new foundation work associated with the expansion will be located a minimum of 10 feet from the outer edge of the tree’s canopy (dripline). Based on the tree’s location and the canopy projection, no significant root activity is anticipated at this distance from the dripline, and no root cutting or disturbance is expected during excavation for the new foundation.
