Greg Zoll, Landscape Dynamics Landscape Architect, Certified Arborist (951) 264-4839 CLA# 5204 ISA #WE-9711A General: Landscape Dynamics was contracted to perform and prepare an inventory of existing trees (including identification of tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH), and condition/health) within the limits of the proposed project at the above mentioned location. The site visit and assessment was completed on July 8, 2022. The primary task associated with the field review of the trees on site was to determine the required number of replacement trees for protected species pursuant to the City of Fontana’s Preservation of Heritage, Significant and Specimen Trees.

Each tree was cataloged with the tree species, diameter at breast height (DBH), and condition/health. A Tree Inventory and Replacement Table is included within this report, along with a location map for each tree / tree grouping. Of the trees inventoried, none are considered to be heritage, significant, or specimen trees as defined by the tree preservation ordinance. The project will, however, require removal of the all of trees within the site, either due to health condition or location. The replacement trees, if required per the ordinance, are provided in the Tree Inventory Table below; these quantities were calculated per the ‘Other Tree Replacement Table No.s III and IV’ within the ordinance. A Summary of Required Replacements is below. Pictures of the existing trees are provided on the following pages.
