The following tree preservation methods shall be followed during construction on the site. These methods shall be listed on the building permit plans and shall include, but not be limited to, the following: a. No grading and/or trenching or stockpiling of fill material may occur in the dripline of existing Valley Oak trees scheduled for preservation. b. No equipment shall be operated or stored within the dripline of any tree. c. No oil, gasoline, chemicals, or other harmful materials shall be deposited or disposed within the dripline of the trees or in drainage channels, swales, or areas that may lead to the dripline. Failure to comply with any of these requirements may result in enforcement action by the City. 20. The project developer shall avoid pruning the oak trees to be preserved immediately prior to, during, or immediately after construction. Only pruning which is unavoidable due to conflicts with the proposed development or necessary to improve structural defects shall be performed.

All such pruning shall be supervised by a certified arborist listed on the City of Pleasanton's "Approved Arborist" list. 21. All natural grassland areas shall be mowed annually (or more frequently if directed to do so by the Fire Marshall) by the homeowner for fire management purposes.

All landscaping and irrigation shall be installed by the homeowner within nine months of occupancy. The applicant shall arrange a landscape/irrigation site inspection with the Planning Department staff within 30 days of completion of the landscape/irrigation installation.
