DRAFT Arborist Report
<br /> 4108 Foothill Road
<br /> Pleasanton, CA
<br /> Introduction and Overview
<br /> Mr. Chashmawala is proposing to develop the property located at 4108 Foothill Rd., in
<br /> Pleasanton, CA. The property is an undeveloped lot situated on a slope with native oaks.
<br /> HortScience I Bartlett Consulting (Divisions of The F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company)was asked
<br /> to prepare an Arborist Report for the site as part of the development application to the City of
<br /> Pleasanton.
<br /> This report provides the following information:
<br /> 1. An evaluation of the health and structural condition of the trees based on a visual
<br /> inspection from the ground.
<br /> 2. An assessment of the development impacts to the trees based on the drawings provided
<br /> by the client.
<br /> 3. The estimated value of the trees according to the procedures described in the Guide for
<br /> Plant Appraisal(Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers).
<br /> 4. Guidelines for tree preservation during the design, construction and maintenance phases
<br /> of development.
<br /> Assessment Methods
<br /> Trees were assessed on May 14, 2019. Since the trees had been tagged in the past, we used
<br /> the existing tag numbers, which are non-sequential. The assessment included all trees within
<br /> and adjacent to proposed construction areas measuring 6" and greater in diameter. The
<br /> assessment procedure consisted of the following steps:
<br /> 1. Identifying the species of tree;
<br /> 2. Tagging each tree with a numerically coded metal tag and recording its location on a
<br /> map;
<br /> 3. Measuring the trunk diameter at a point 54" above grade;
<br /> 4. Evaluating the health and structural condition using a scale of 1 —5:
<br /> 5-A healthy, vigorous tree, reasonably free of signs and symptoms of disease, with
<br /> good structure and form typical of the species.
<br /> 4-Tree with slight decline in vigor, small amount of twig dieback, minor structural
<br /> defects that could be corrected.
<br /> 3-Tree with moderate vigor, moderate twig and small branch dieback, thinning of
<br /> crown, poor leaf color, moderate structural defects that might be mitigated with
<br /> regular care.
<br /> 2-Tree in decline, epicormic growth, extensive dieback of medium to large
<br /> branches, significant structural defects that cannot be abated.
<br /> 1 -Tree in severe decline, dieback of scaffold branches and/or trunk; most of foliage
<br /> from epicormics; extensive structural defects that cannot be abated.
<br /> 5. Rating the suitability for preservation as"high", "moderate" or"low". Suitability for
<br /> preservation considers the health, age and structural condition of the tree species,
<br /> and its potential to remain an asset to the site.
<br /> High: Trees with good health and structural stability that have the potential
<br /> for longevity at the site.
<br /> Moderate: Trees with somewhat declining health and/or structural defects than
<br /> can be abated with treatment. The tree will require more intense
<br /> management and monitoring, and may have shorter life span than
<br /> those in 'high' category.
<br /> Low: Trees in poor health or with significant structural defects that cannot
<br /> be mitigated. Tree is expected to continue to decline, regardless of
<br /> treatment. The species or individual tree may have characteristics
<br /> that are undesirable for landscapes, and generally are unsuited for
<br /> use areas.
