Vacant/Rural Residential-3 acre minimum with Manufactured Housing overlay(RR-3-MFH)/Rural Residential-one dwelling unit per three acres (RR 1/3)
Document Description
The applicant proposes to convert up to 3 acres of timber located on two parcels approximately 1 .42 acres and 1 .87 acres in size. The project is located at Coulson Lane and Wonder Stump Road. The applicant proposes to remove approximately 89 Redwood, 19 Douglas Fir, 31 Sitka Spruce, 14 Western Red Cedar and 23 other hardwoods. The size of the trees ranges from 0"-6" diameter at breast height (DBH) to over 36" inches at DBH with the majority of the trees falling with the 6" to 1 2" at DBH category. Two watercourses were identified on the parcels and watercourse protection buffers ranging from 25 feet to 50 feet measured from the centerline of watercourses will be applied to the project. No tree removal will be permitted within the buffers. Additionally, no tree or other vegetation removal will occur within the County's right-of-way for Wonder Stump Road. Visual impacts related to the project are considered minor due to the retention of the trees along the right-of-way and within the watercourse protection buffers.
