[Sent to Planning ]445 Oak Ct - Required 3rd-Party Tree Inspector prior to Excavation

Honorable City Council,
When you reviewed the 445 Oak Ct project, you mandated a requirement that a 3rd Party Arborist inspect the worksite prior to
excavation and regularly during construction. This was in response to the Heritage Redwood Trees less than 7 feet from the
construction zone at my next-door residence at 1485 Woodland Ave.
I received a letter from the Developer, Brian Nguyen (on cc), stating he would begin excavation this coming Monday, yet I have not
been presented with an official report from the 3rd-party Arborist stating that fencing has been done properly and that excavation
can be allowed to begin, per the terms of the Council's requirement.
I recommend that Mr Nguyen pay for McClenahan's Tree service, a local and well-regarded Willows institution come out for the
inspection prior to Monday, and daily from that point forward.
Please do not allow Mr Nguyen to begin his excavation until McClenahan's has visited the site and provided the appropriate
recommendations.
Thank you.
