Alan,
Attached is the requested information regarding the tree removal and mitigation for hole #13 and 14 due to loss of
grass.
1-Attached pictures and drawings of the trees to be removed and replaced.

2- We used the following iPhone application to determine along with daily visits to the site to determine which

trees need to be remove.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sun-seeker-3d-augmented-reality/id330247123?mt=8 This gives a visual of where the
sun angle is for each day and also time so we are not removing unnecessary trees. The loss of turf in these areas is very
concerning to our membership and will cost us. I have also attached the email from 4/8/15 that details the possible loss
in revenue.
3-We will remove and replant all within the same time period. This would be done late summer early fall to allow

the best chance for plant survival and this is when the sun angle becomes lower and the trees limit/eliminate
sunlight.

Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks

Things needed/clarification:

1)“Detail” planting plan. Number of shrubs (large) and trees. Weighted toward trees (dogwoods, redbuds, trees

of similar height). Provide photos of shrub type. Size to be planted, mature height. Replacement requirement
based on stumpage size.
Hole 13: 5 trees, average width 12 inches
Hole 14: 8 trees, average width 12 inches; two pines- 24 inch, 10 inch
1

Vegetation/trees should be located in the general area of the remove tree. Some leeway is allowed

2)Documentation, information, detail on the issue with the greens

3)Preferred that vegetation removal and replacement occur at the same time.

4)No mitigation require, aside from plantings

I think this covers it.
