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 ofthe trees tobe removed and replaced.
2- We used the following iPhone application todetermine along with daily visits to the site to determine which
trees need toberemove.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sun-seeker-3d-augmented-reality/id330247123?mt=8 This gives a visual ofwhere 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 toour membership and will cost us. Ihave also attached the email from 4/8/15that details the possible loss
inrevenue.
3-We will remove and replant all within the same time period. This would bedone late summer early fall toallow
the best chance for plant survival and this is when the sun angle becomes lower and the trees limit/eliminate
sunlight.
Please letme know ifyou need any other information.
Thanks

Vegetation/trees should belocated inthe general area ofthe remove tree. Some leeway isallowed
2)Documentation, information, detail on the issue with the greens

Ithink this covers it.
