A meeting still needs to be scheduled to review the cottonwoods and road. Set an onsite meeting with
the City Forester, private project engineer and landscape architect. The north cottonwoods appear to be
very close to the road and fence. This needs to be devalued in a site meeting.

Schedule an on -site meeting with the City Forester, LA and Civil Engineer to review construction impact
to off -site trees. Actual location of proposed excavation near the mature cottonwoods and evergreens
by the detention area shall be specifically provide at the meeting to the City Forester so tree impact can
be evaluated. Modification to the Emergency Access Road and detention area wall position may be
requested at that meeting from the evaluation of the construction impact to exiting trees.

American Linden does not always do very well in and near parking lots. Consider using in its place
Redmond Linden or a very good sustainable tree — Kentucky Coffeetree.
