LANDSCAPE & TREE PRESERVATION PLAN <br />No substantial changes to the existing landscaping and tree canopy are anticipated if this <br />conditional zoning application is realized in full. A primary succession Piedmont forest of largely <br />softwood trees is regrowing in the “future development area” on the southern part of the <br />campus, but this growth is only about ten years old; it was cleared during school construction <br />and has not commitment to preservation or cultivation. <br />The 30-foot easement for a “pedestrian path” shown on the site plan and provided as a <br />condition of approval will require crossing of the existing 75-foot landscaped buffer on the <br />frontage of the property facing New Brady Brown School and Orange Grove Roads. The exact <br />location and orientation is to be determined but, as presented, should require a single 30-foot <br />perpendicular crossing of the landscaping. Construction of a pedestrian or multiuse path could <br />evaluate alternatives to minimize such disturbance at preliminary engineering design. <br />28
