Field work was conducted on March 28 and 29, 2016. All trees <br />shown on the "Preliminary Tree Preservation & Removal Plan" are greater than or equal to 8 inches in DBH <br />and were evaluated per the City of Eugene's Tree Removal Permit Checklist (Form #F-213). Additional trees <br />exist within Tract D and Tract E, however, they are well beyond the disturbance limits of the project and <br />therefore were not inventoried or evaluated. There is a total of 479 trees that were inventoried. Of the 479 <br />trees that were inventoried, a total of 269 onsite trees and 6 offsite trees are proposed for removal. Please <br />see the "Preliminary Tree Preservation & Removal Plan" and the "Preliminary Tree Preservation & Removal <br />Table" (included in the tentative subdivision plans for this project) for additional detailed tree information, <br />reasons for removal, and tree protection measures. <br />The original "Existing Tree and Conservation Area Plan Phases 6 & 7" that was submitted November 20, <br />2015 was prepared by others and included trees that were under 8 inches in DBH. Per The City of Eugene <br />Tree Removal Standards, a tree is defined as "A living, standing, woody plant having a trunk 25 inches in <br />circumference (or approximately eight inches in diameter) at a point 4-1/2 feet above mean ground level at <br />the base of the trunk." Therefore, updated plans provided after the original submittal only include trees that <br />are 8 inches in DBH or greater. <br />Sincerely, <br />AKS ENGINEERING & FORESTRY, LLC <br />Bruce R.
