Long Term Tree Removal/Replacement Plan
Upon close review of the tree removal plan prepared for French Hospital Tower project,
we have the following long-range plan for the replacement of more suitable trees for the
site. Please refer to the landscape plans L101-104.
The trees shown to be removed are currently in the locations where the new Tower
Building and Parking Structure are to be built. Most of the trees are ornamental trees with
many of them being Eucalyptus. There are a few small previously planted oak trees
required to be removed as it was unavoidable do to the parking lot realignment required.
Per our count the same about of trees that are now being removed will be replaced with
new trees and all the trees adjacent to the open space will be native oak trees. There will
be new ornamental trees adjacent to the Tower Building and around the garden areas as
they are more appropriate for those locations. As for the long-range tree plan for the
entire site, the parking lot shading will be maximized with the new tree plantings and the
areas around the designated open space will have all native oaks which is more
compatible with the intended use of that area.
