EXHIBIT G <br /> �y. <br /> 0 `J <br /> 17022 20093 <br /> May 4,2017 <br /> Joe Cravotta <br /> H.I.P.Renovations-Home Improvement Pros. _ .. . <br /> 1059 Lambaren Ave. <br /> Livermore,Ca. 94551 - <br /> Re.: Pre-construction evaluation of trees. <br /> Site: 3552 Yellowstone Q. Pleasanton, CA 'I 1 -'0;-3",;), <br /> Client/Project: Robles/Yellowstone. <br /> Mr. Cravoatta; <br /> I am writing in response to your request for evaluation and recommendations for trees relative to construction <br /> plans at 3552 Yellowstone Ct. in Pleasanton. This letter comprises my report <br /> I inspected''the site on April 17,2017,in your company. I also reviewed various site plans you provided. I <br /> photographed', measured'and evaluated three trees which comprised the only trees on site. The intent of my <br /> inspection and this report is to assist with your compliance with the tree preservation requirements(removal <br /> permitting)of the City of Pleasanton'. <br /> SUMMARY: Only two I1 &3)of the three individual trees inventoried qualify as Heritage Treesc as defined by <br /> the City of Pleasanton . Only Tree Nos. 2 &3 require permitting for removal. These two trees exhibit both <br /> structural and physiological conditions of concern and it is my opinion that removal and replacement is prudent. <br /> Tree no. 3 is also in direct conflict with construction plans. <br /> Although not specifically required by the City of Pleasanton, in support of other aspects of the City's Tree <br /> Preservation code, I appraised Tree No. 2 at a value of$3,450.00 . I determined this value employing methods <br /> developed by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers(CTIA)and described in the publication,Council <br /> of Tree and Landscape Appraisers.2000, Guide for Plant Appraisal, Ninth Edition, International Society of <br /> Arboriculture. Regional Species factors were gleaned from the publication of the WC I.S.A. Regional Tree <br /> Appraisal Committee,2004. Species Classification and Group Assignment,Western Chapter, International <br /> Society of Arboriculture, for Northern California, interior valley environment. <br /> TREE-SPECIFIC COMMENTS: <br /> Tree no.1,fruitless mulberry(Mows alba): This tree has many maladies and weaknesses that render it a <br /> poor candidate for preservation regardless of construction plans. Current construction plans for adding a <br /> second story would necessitate removing about 60%of the canopy for clearance purposes. For these reasons. <br /> I strongly recommend removing this tree prior to beginning construction. This tree qualifies as a Heritage Tree <br /> as defined by the City of Pleasanton, so a removal permit is required'. <br /> Recommendations: Remove. <br /> All the individual trees addressed in this report were photographed and all photographs are on file in the office of Dryad.ILC. <br /> 2 Height and/or diameter measurements: Diameters were measured via calculating diameter tape measurement of circumference. Height <br /> measurernnrrtawere taken with an Optitogic 101400 laser rangefinder/hypsometer. The recorded height can only be estimated due to the <br /> dynamic nature of foliage at tree tops,and tad[of a 100%opaque target. The reported height was averaged from several sets of <br /> measurements. Where tree trunks or views were obstructed or inaccessible,either or both heights and diameters may have been <br /> estimated, <br /> 3 City of Pleasanton Municipal Code,Title 17 Planning and Related Matters,Chapter 17,16 Tree Preservation(revised,2012). <br /> Detaaed calculations are on rte in the office of Dryad,LLC. <br /> 35570 Palomares Rd.
