The tree preservation zone on the east side will be protected with fencing and mulch. There should be no actlvity within this preservation zone. Preservation strategies for the trees in the fencelines will be determined based on the construction plans. There are a variety of preservation options for the trees in the fencelines. Planning for tree preservation before construction begins, protecting them during construction and, caring for them after construction will maximize their chances for survival. We appreciate this opportunity to work with you. Please contact us with any questions about this work or any other services we can offer.

The tree preservation zone on the east side will be protected with fencing and mulch. There should be no activity within this preservation zone. Preservation strategies for the trees in the fencelines will be determined based on the construction plans. Pittman Partners are to be commended for thinking about the trees before construction begins and planning for their well being. Such proactive action is impressive. Preserving the trees will benefit the project and the entire community. Assignment Our assignment is to prepare a plan to preserve the trees before, during and after the construction at Weston Point. There is a tree preservation zone on the east side of the project to be protected. There are also two fencelines that have trees that will need protection also. We are to advise the client, architect, landscape architect, builder and contractors on processes that may impact the trees within the construction zone. Our goal is to lessen the impact of the construction to help preserve the trees. Proper tree preservation planning also decreases expensive long-term maintenance for the trees. Tree Biology and Construction Impacts Construction often has a negative impact on trees. When changes are planned, we must plan tree preservation procedures to be performed before, during, and after construction to give the trees a better chance at survival. In wooded areas, trees live in harmony, protecting and supporting each other. There tends to be less disturbance from environmental factors like wind, ice, and snow. The root systems of mature trees are shaded and protected. In mature landscapes, existing trees have been relatively undisturbed for many years providing them with a "wooded area" environment. Therefore, any construction procedures that come near the root system of any existing tree will cause stress. One common problem during construction is mechanical damage (physical injuries/wounds to the tree) to the trunks and limbs. When wounded, trees are structurally unable to heal as 4721 E. 146"' St., Carmel, Indiana, 46033 Phone: 317-846-1424 ~ Fax: 317-818-9865 humans and animals do. As trees can not replace damaged tissue, they must wall off the area using a process called Compartmentalization of Decay in Trees (COD1T). Using this process, the damaged cells of trees put up chemical and physical barriers in all directions to block the spread of disease and decay after being wounded. Trees are capable of compartmentalizing small wounds quickly. Large wounds, however, are much more difficult and take a lot longer. In fact, a trunk wound removing as little as 30% of the bark may be fatal. The CODIT process also uses great amounts of energy. Trees are weakened due to the amount of energy required to try to compartmentalize the wound. Wounds are also an Figure 1 entrance for decay and disease to enter the tree. Decay structurally weakens trees, which may eventually be unable to support their own weight, putting people and property at risk. Protecting the trunk and limbs from damage is crucial. Another significant problem caused by construction is damage to the root systems of the trees. There is a classic misconception that roots are "as deep as the tree is tall". They are not! The root systems of most trees are very shallow. Roots generally grow within the first 12-18 inches of the original grade; with a large majority of the fibrous roots within the first 6-8 inches of the soil (see Figure 1'). There are two major types of roots. The large woody roots most of us are familiar with that provide anchorage, storage, and conduction. Trees also have small, non-woody roots called feeder roots. These roots provide absorption, pulling water and nutrients from the soil, both of which are necessary for photosynthesis and respiration. In order for roots to grow, they need both moisture and oxygen. Roots can extend long distances from the trunk, often two to three times the radius of the dripline, depending on the environment and where oxygen and water are available. Changes in the root system of a tree can cause serious, long-term problems, including trunk decay, decline, and death. Besides mechanical and root damage, trees will also be exposed to environmental factors such as changes in water sources and exposure to sunlight. Stress is created when trees need to acclimate to a new environment created by a change in any one of these factors. During construction, many factors became a concern at the same time, making preservation planning very necessary. It is our goal to help the trees whenever possible. The procedures we will recommend are to limit stress to the trees to be preserved. In protecting the trees from construction, our main focus will be shielding the critical zone of the root system from damage. There are various means of protecting the trees and their roots during the construction process, including: • Installation of fencing to protect the root zone. • Installation of signage for preservation zones. • Pre-construction fertilization of key trees. • Root pruning during construction after roots are damaged. • Implementation of a watering program.

Post-construction vertical mulching in areas of high soil compaction. Apost-construction planning for continued preservation efforts. Although there is no way to guarantee the trees will not die during or after the process, we should do our best to protect the trees and give them a fighting chance. Tree Analysis The site has been described in the Woodland Analysis previously submitted by Vine & Branch. Please refer to that document for further details. The trees and woods that are to remain after construction at Weston Point are in two general locations: the woods on the east end of the property in a 200' tree preservation zone, and the fencelines that form the north and south property lines of the project. The woods are comprised of various aged trees from sapling stands to mature, large trees. The dominate forest type are trees in the 12-16" dbh category. These woods appear to have been managed in the past with firewood and lumber being removed. The result is a relatively young stand of trees with large trees scattered throughout. These woods occupy land that is level with poorly drained soils. Intermittent pooling of the water has created conditions that favor tree and plant species that tolerate or prefer wetter soils. Species present include: burr oak, pin oak, swamp white oak, lobelias and cinquefoils. The fence lines have scattered trees intermingled with shrubs. Many of the trees are growing right along the fence to one side or the other. It is important to take into consideration each species when preparing a tree preservation plan. Some of the species are generally considered to have moderate to good tolerance of construction, including the oak species (Quercusspp.), American elm (U/musamencana), hawthorn (Crataegusspp.), and crabapple (Ma/usspp.). Their response depends mostly on how much soil compaction, root disturbance, and water stress they receive. American elms are considered to be tolerant of site disturbance, their pest problems put them at greater risk. Elm bark beetles, which carry Dutch elm disease, are attracted to stressed trees. Care must be taken to keep the stress on the elm trees down. Some species are much less tolerant and will need strict care, including sugar maple (Ater sacchan7m), American beech (Fagusgrandifo/ia), black walnut (Jug/ansnigra), and black cherry (Prunus serotina). Special attention will need to be placed on each of these species. They will require adequate water and care to have a chance at survival. Sugar maple, American beech, black walnut are considered intolerant of fill. The grade should not be raised around these trees. Methods to keep the original grade within the critical root zones of these trees is imperative. American beech, black walnut, and black cherry are all intolerant of mechanical injury due to poor compartmentalization. Copyright ©2002 Vine & Branch, Inc. customer name -Tree Preservation Judson R. Stott, RCA #392 Aug 27, 2003 317.846.1424 Page 3 All trees should be properly fenced and everything kept out of the root zones to limit damage to the trunks and canopies. Our Tree Preservation Plans and Specifications have taken these factors into account. Discussion Tree preservation at Weston Poirit should be fairly simple since the trees to be saved are in a block and there will be no activity on 3 sides of the block. If construction activity on the west side of the tree preservation zone is kept outside of the dripline of the trees, very little stress will be placed on the trees. The trees in the fencelines are widely scattered. There are multiple trees touching the fence on one side or the other. The trees within these fencelines are generally of poor quality. These fencelines are important because they provide habitat connectivity and travel corridors for wildlife. Preservation stretegies for these trees range from fencing off the entire fenceline to fencing individual trees to planting a Designed Open Space (ROSOIII 7.9.) to mitigate any loss of these trees. All construction activity should be kept at least 5 feet outside of the canopy dripline of the fenceline trees. As mentioned, the greatest damage during construction often comes from injury to the root systems. Many construction processes require extensive amounts of excavation and soil compaction. Excavation within root zones removes both support roots and absorbing roots. This can cause decreased stability and water stress, among other problems. Besides soil removal, soil compaction is common. For structural stability, compaction is required for buildings, roads, footings, sidewalks, etc. Compaction is also caused by equipment moving over the area and material storage. Soil compaction decreases the amount of air and water available to the roots, limits root growth, and can lead to decay, decline, and death. Trees within the preservation zones shall be protected during construction and maintained after construction by using Best Management Practices (BMP's). Specific recommendations include: Before Construction BMP's: • Fencing will be placed at least 5 feet beyond the outside of the dripline of the trees along the western border of the tree preservation zone (as per ROSOIII 7.7.2.1.). Fencing along the fencelines needs to be determined. All protective fencing shall have proper "Tree Preservation Zone" signs affixed. • All site contractors shall meet with the Consulting Arborist at the site prior to beginning work to review all work procedures, access and haul routes, and tree protection measures. Durino Construction BMP's: • Disturbed areas adjacent to tree preservation zones shall be mulched to provide additional protection to tree roots (ROSOIII 7.7.2.5.) • Any damage to trees shall be reported to the Consulting Arborist within 6 hours so that remedial action can be taken. Timeliness is critical to tree health. Copyright ©2002 Vine & Branch, Inc. customer name -Tree Preservation Judson R. Scott, RCA #392 - Aug 27, 2003 317.846.1424 Page 4 No materials, spoil, washout water, waste or equipment, (especially concrete equipment and tools) shall be deposited, stored, or parked within the tree protection zone (fenced area). • The Consulting Arborist should monitor any grading, construction, demolition, or other work that is expected to encounter tree roots. Spoil from the building foundation shall not be placed within the tree protection zone, either temporarily or permanently. It is suggested that the spoil be placed in a space away from the trees. The preserved trees shall be irrigated so that they will receive 1-1.5 inches of water per week during dry periods. All underground utilities, downspouts or irrigation lines and landscape lighting shall be routed outside the tree protection zone. If utility lines must cross through the protection area, they shall be tunneled or bored under the tree. There is to be no parking or equipment storage of any kind within the tree protective zone. Post Construction recommendations BMP's: All trees should have apost-construction evaluation performed by a qualified arborist to determine any remedial actions necessary to maintain tree health. • Perform Vertical mulching for any trees within 20 feet of construction activities. Especially those with any compacted soils or altered drainages. • Regular mulching for any trees outside of the compacted areas that do not have regular leaf litter anymore. The mulch will give the trees optimal conditions for their roots to recover from the stress of construction. At Weston Point the border of the tree preservation zone should be mulched. The Tree Preservation Specifications section has more explanation on each of the above concerns. Vine & Brench Fact Sheets on each subject are also available. Site visits by the Consulting Arborist are helpful in monitoring the above concerns. He can then advise as to any further procedures necessary to protect the tree. The site visits should be regular to increase the protection provided to the tree. Finally, the end of construction does not mean the end of tree preservation. The first five years following construction are critical in the health of the tree and present a window in which further care is to be undertaken. Tree preservation is an ongoing effort. Watering, fertilization and necessary pruning should be undertaken. Copyright ©2002 Vine & Branch, Inc. customer name -Tree Preservation Judson R.
