David L. Bobby,Registered Consulting Arborist'. July 8, 2013 1.0 INTRODUCTION I have been retained by Mr. Joe Nguyen of ASI Consulting to prepare this Arborist Report in connection with the future site improvements at 3192 Santa Rita Road. Pleasanton (located at the southeast corner of West Las Positas Boulevard and Santa Rita Road). Specific tasks assigned to perform are as follows: • Visit the site on July 8, 2013. • Identify the species of 15 trees that have trunk diameters ?six inches at 54 inches above grade, and are located either on the subject site, along street frontages, or have canopies overhanging the site or project area from a neighboring property. • Measure each tree's trunk diameter at 54 inches above grade, or for appraisal purposes, where necessary to obtain the most representative sample of trunk size. All diameters are rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch. Trees listed with more than one diameter are formed by multiple trunks. • Identify tree height and canopy spread (rounded to the nearest fifth). • Ascertain each tree's health and structural integrity, and assign an overall condition rating(e.g. good, fair, poor or dead). • Obtain photographs; see Exhibit C. • Identify trees defined as "heritage" pursuant to Section 17.16.006(A) of the Pleasanton Municipal Code. • Assign a number to each tree, and plot them on a copy of an aerial photo presented in Exhibit B (derived from Google Earth); the numbers are approximately shown on top of the canopies. • Affix metal tags with corresponding numbers to each trunk or major limb (the tags are round aluminum with engraved numbers). • Appraise each tree's monetary value. • Review the site plan(Sheet SP.1) to identify potential impacts. • Provide measures to mitigate or avoid impacts to retained trees. • Prepare a written report that presents the aforementioned information, and submit via email as a PDF document. 3192 Santa Rita Road, Pleasanton Page 1 of 10 Mr.Joe N'gtlyen,AM Consulting
