Arborist Report. May 8, 2021. HortScience, Inc. <br />535 Sycamore Road. Davasam and Chekka. Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />Table 2, continued. Tree suitability for preservation. 535 Sycamore Road. <br />Pleasanton CA. <br /> <br /> <br /> Low Trees in poor health or possessing significant defects in structure <br />that cannot be abated with treatment. These trees can be expected <br />to decline regardless of management. The species or individual tree <br />may possess either characteristics that are undesirable in landscape <br />settings or be unsuited for use areas. Eighteen (18) trees were rated <br />as having low suitability for preservation: valley oaks #52, 54, 63, <br />97, 98, 100, 150, 163; coast redwoods #95, 153, 159, 161, 162; <br />Baileys acacia #157, 160; elderberry #86, and plum #62. <br /> <br /> <br />Evaluation of Impacts and Recommendations for Action <br />Appropriate tree retention develops a practical match between the location and intensity <br />of construction activities, and the quality and health of trees. The tree assessment was <br />the reference point for tree condition and quality. Impacts from the proposed project <br />were assessed using the site plan prepared by Terry Townsend, Architect (dated January <br />2021). The plans depicted the location of existing and planned improvements. No <br />grading or utility information was provided. Most tree trunks were located by no canopy <br />outlines were included. <br /> <br />The existing property will be sub-divided into two lots. New homes will be constructed on <br />each lot. Additional dwelling units will also be constructed at the rear (south side) of both <br />lots. New driveways and utilities will be installed. The area of Sycamore Road in front of <br />the property will be improved. <br /> <br />Impacts to trees could occur in a number of ways. First, demolition of existing structures <br />and infrastructure may damage trees and require their removal. Second, grading and <br />installation of utilities may injure tree roots and/or require pruning of tree crowns. Utility <br />connections to those existing on Sycamore Road must be made. Finally, construction of <br />new homes, driveways, and installation of landscape features may occur in locations <br />were trees are present. Numerous trees on the east side of the site are close to a <br />planned driveway. <br /> <br />Based on my evaluation of the plans, I recommend preservation of 43 trees (24 Heritage) <br />and removal of 23 (13 Heritage) (Table 3). Recommendations for tree preservation are <br />predicated on adherence to the Tree Preservation Guidelines (following section). <br /> <br /> <br />
