16 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY SCHOOLS <br /> 1/22/2025 <br /> 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 /> Page 11012 <br />
