Peterson DATE: June 17, 2005 RE: Arrabelle Tree Removal and Preservation Plan Dear George, Pursuant to the letter you received for Mark R. Stelle, the Certified Arborist for the Arrabelle project, a copy being attached to this memorandum, you and I conducted a sight visit to field verify the conditions necessitating this request. I believe the following ~r is our understanding. The trees referenced in Mark's letter and marked in the field can be removed because they are in the "area of disturbance". As a mitigation measure against such removal, five Aspen trees (6 inch caliper or greater) shall be planted in the same area as the removed trees, with some discretion as to location in order to be sensitive to views out of the living rooms of the adjacent condominiums. The trees will be replaced at such time as the general landscaping is replaced in that area. Please allow this request to be a modification of our approved Tree Removal and Preservation Plan. If this is not your understanding, please give me a call. Once again, thanks for your cooperation and help. Sincerely Yours, Edwards Office Denver Office P.O.

This email will reiterate my verbal request. The additional trees proposed for removal are #261 through #264, plus # 286 through #288 (just recently flagged trees). Two trees are subalpine fir and four are aspen. Please see attachment photo. My understanding of the reason for proposed removal is a recent discovery that the actual water line location is closer to these trees than anticipated. Given the planned shoring wall and water line excavation, all seven trees will need to be removed. As you know, these trees are on Lionsquare Lodge property. Approval for the removal of these trees was verbally authorized by the building manager Bill Anderson, on Tuesday, June 14, 2005. 1 hope to have a signed acceptance from Bill later today. I~w told the original agreement between Lionsquare Lodge and Vail Resorts is to replace any removed trees on a per lineal foot of height basis. As you probably know, the 288 inventoried trees for this project have all been reference by diameter at Dbh. So, a conversion factor will eventually need to be established. If you wish to meet on site, or need any further information, please let me know. I would appreciate hearing from you as soon as possible just what we need to do to gain approval from your office.

Box 959 Avon, CO 81620 Re: Arrabelle at Vail Square, Supplement to 3-23-05 Tree Preservation Plan Dear Mr. Feeney, This letter is produced in response to: 1) The 4-10-05 email from Todd Oppenheimer, requesting more specific mitigation measures; 2) The 4-13-05 site visit with George Ruther. The following list documents my recommendations. Specific root damage mitigation Applicable trees: Lift House - #57 through #63. Landmark Tower - #152 (Ceremonial Xmas tree) Lionsquare Lodge - #233 through #244, and #248 through #253 • Insect spraying: Schedule two insect spray applications in yr '05. Inspect all trees in spring `06 & spring '07 for any follow-up spraying needs. • Mulching: If not already mulched, apply course woodibark chips to a thickness of 2" to 3" within entire dripline. Leave 2" space between trunk and the beginning of mulch. • Canopy pruning: Prior to excavation, schedule a taper prune to lower 10' to 15' feet of branches. Pruning should be monitored by Consulting Arborist. • Root pruning: Consulting arborist should be notified ahead, be present to monitor excavation, and perform root pruning at time of excavation. • Exposed roots: All pruned roots that will be exposed to direct sun, for more that one day, should be covered with landscape fabric until soil backfilling occurs. • Supplemental water: Water must be available within one day of excavation. All trees that are not already receiving drip or spray irrigation should receive supplemental water for five months per year (May - September) for each of the next three years. Trees not already irrigated should receive 10 gallons of water per inch of trunk diameter per week. Placing the unrestricted female end of a garden hose at the base of the trunk is unacceptable. The entire area within the dripline should be sprayed with a fan type nozzle. A 6SC / ~A = MEMBER ~~Mark Stelle s~ Precision ree Works, Inc. Root feeding: Each of these trees should receive a twice per year application of liquid bio-stimulant for each of the next three years. The bio-stimulant should contain ingredients such as humates, amino acids, vitamins, yucca extract, beneficial bacteria, and chelated micronutrients. If nitrogen is used it should not exceed a rate of 1 lb per acre per year. Branch dieback: For many of the trees listed above, the disturbances proposed by engineer/developer/contractor will likely cause growth reduction, and sporadic branch dieback. The pre-existing condition of these trees will be documented prior to the onset of construction. All trees should be monitored for duration of this project. Any branches that die should be pruned. Shoring & Fencing Indicated in Tree Inventory Spreadsheet Protection of tree crown Applicable trees: Lionshead Arcade - #48 through #56. Lift House - #57 through #63 To "save" a tree is meaningless from an aesthetic standpoint, if the percentage of live crown receives a significant amount of branch destruction. In the tree inventory spreadsheet and previously in this report, I recommended pre-construction pruning. This pre-construction pruning will, to some degree, help alleviate branch breakage from machinery. Yet, provisions should also be in place to assure that subcontractors and machine operators minimize branch breakage during construction. I believe this letter provides the requested information. As always, I will gladly provide more details for any of the covered subjects, should the need arise.

March 23, 2005 P.O. Box 606 • Vail, Colorado 81658 • (970) 926-3594 Mr. Dan Feeney, Project Manager Vail Resorts Development Company P.O. Box 959 Avon, CO 81620 Re: Arrabelle at Vail Square, Tree Inventory & Tree Preservation Plan Dear Mr. Feeney, On Tuesday, March 1, 2005, I met with you to plan the continuation of the tree inventory that was initiated last summer. The following report will discuss the results of the tree inventory, and provide a tree preservation plan. Tree Inventory This inventory is a culmination of information gathered on August 16, 2004 (trees #1 through #28) and gathered in March, '05 (trees #29 through #265). Some of the inventoried trees are multi-stemmed (designated "A", "B", and "C" for ease of reference), but are still treated collectively as a single tree for the purpose of this report. The Tree Inventory (Attachment A) designates trees proposed for removal and those considered as save-trees (trees tangential to disturbance and subjected to root/canopy impact). At this time, there are 151 trees proposed for removal. In addition, the table currently shows 44 questionable removal-trees, designated with a"?" symbol. The determination of a save-tree candidate versus a removal-tree is often dependant upon two major factors: 1) Knowledge of the precise excavation encroachment required by the project, and 2) Knowledge of the quantity and size of roots that will be cut. Both of which are not available until survey stake layout and/or exploratory excavation. Inventoried trees that fall in the save-tree category of the table should all receive adequate protective fencing and root damage mitigation. Save-trees that I anticipate will be subject to vehicle-caused branch breakage have notations in the "Prune Canopy" category. Most of the trees in this category have a history of receiving very little if any pruning maintenance, so their over-grown lateral canopies are in dire need of professional pruning anyway. In most cases, a tapered prune of the canopy is preferred versus simply stripping all branches from ground level to a point high on the trunk. e S CA w, MEMBER o~Muk~Stelle9 PPrecision Tree vVorks, Inc. Tree Preservation Plan Tree Preservation Guidelines (Attachment B) is a 4-page document that outlines the primary elements of protection for the designated save-trees on this project. Not included in this attachment is an element that is often overlooked in tree preservation plans, the prior health maintenance history of the proposed save-trees. Specifically, all trees in my inventory are suffering from insect attack. As part of my inventory, various insects have been identified and a range of intensities has been documented. The lack of recent and/or effective treatment has allowed insect population levels to explode in some trees. The result is that many of these trees are currently exhibiting abnormal defoliation, chlorosis, dieback and overall stress. The following insects have been identified. • Conifers: Aphids (various species), needle scale (Chionaspis pinifoliae), spider mite (species not yet identified), and bud scale (Physokermes piceae). • Aspen: Aphids (various species), and armored trunk scale (Diaspidiotus gigas). • Crabapple: Aphids (various species), and armored trunk scale (species not yet identified). The first objective of a thorough tree preservation plan is to encourage optimum health of any tree which is about to undergo the stress of construction. The public and private owners of all designated save-trees should be encouraged to implement a dormant oil spray treatment as soon as possible. If the appropriate parties come forward with a spraying budget, I would also suggest a second treatment of an alternate chemical in June. All save-trees should be inspected again in spring, 2006 for any additional spraying needs. I believe this letter and attachments provide the requested information at this stage of the development process. As always, I will gladly provide more details for any of the covered subjects, should the need arise. Sincerely, V J& Mark Stelle, Registered Consulting Arborist Enclosures: Attachment A, Tree Inventory Attachment B, Tree Preservation Guidelines 1*n Page 2 of 2 ® Attachment B J Tree Preservation Guidelines Arrabelle at Vail Square By Mark Stelle, Registered Consulting Arborist March 23, 2005 ROOT ZONE PROTECTION Protection of the critical root zone is essential to insure long-term health and survival of the tree. Soil compaction can be just as damaging as root cutting and root removal. To protect the critical root zone from excavation and compaction, a fence should be erected before the onset of any topsoil removal from the site. The will provide a much needed physical barrier throughout the construction and landscape construction process. This physical barrier protects against adverse impacts such as excavation, trenching, machinery traffic, and attempts to temporarily store building materials. Fencing: Prior to any machinery activity on the site, all save-trees should be completely encircled with a mesh fence. This fence should be a minimum of 6' tall and installed with "T" posts on 4' centers. This fence should remain, undisturbed throughout general construction and initial landscape construction. Fencing Alternative: Should the fence require temporary disassembly during the construction project for vehicle access, the consulting arborist should first be contacted to monitor the implementation of alternative trunk and root zone protection. The trunk can then be protected as specified in the "Trunk Protection" segment of this report. Mulching: If not already mulched, all save-trees should be mulched before initial site excavation. The mulch layer should be 3" to 4" thick and cover the entire critical root zone (from the trunk to the dripline). The material can be wood chips, bark, or straw. Benefits are as follows: • Help to reduce evaporation of ground moisture. • Reduce eroding effects of supplemental water. • Moderate soil temperature. • Help mitigate soil compaction. • Recycle trace amounts of beneficial nutrients. Construction Material Storage & Dumping: The critical root zone needs to be void of any stored materials. In addition, storage (even temporary) of any fuel/oil containers, or other chemical contaminants within 20 feet of the dripline of any significant save-tree should be strictly prohibited. Once spilled liquids contaminate the root zone, remedial leaching procedures become extremely expensive and chemical uptake by the root system often results in significant tree decline. Page 1 of 4 C Attachment B J 61 Tree Preservation Guidelines Arrabelle at Vail Square By Mark Stelle, Registered Consulting Arborist March 23, 2005 TRUNK & BRANCH PROTECTION All tree trunks that are subject to runaway boulders or scraping from machinery should be encircled with straw bales. The bales should be positioned vertically around the entire trunk perimeter and tightly bound with twine. Under no circumstances should wire/string encircle the trunk directly against the tree bark. Straw bales will also protect any exposed root collars'. Where possible all branches adjacent to constant machinery traffic should be identified by the general contractor/excavating contractor and pruned or tied out of harms way by an arborist. The tree inventory identifies several trees on this project that need professional pruning to allow for vehicle access and minimize unwanted branch tearing. EXCAVATION When removing topsoil, to the extent possible, all excavation adjacent to the root zone should be cut radially away from the trunk. The operator's machine should always be facing the trunk when the shovel severs the root. This procedure minimizes damage to the residual root system. Exploratory Excavation: This is a procedure for determining the actual location, size, and volume of roots before the excavator operator disturbs topsoil adjacent to the dripline of a significant save-tree. This procedure must be monitored by a consulting arborist. See tree inventory for a list of significant trees. Root pruning: In some cases, particularly those where the excavation cuts must encroach the root zone within the dripline, a pre-excavation hand-dug trench can reveal critical artery roots which can be sawn by hand to minimize damage to the residual root system. Onsite monitoring and root pruning by a consulting arborist is suggested at this point. Any time a soil cut remains exposed to the sun for an extended period, the cut should be covered with a porous protective barrier such as landscape fabric, burlap, or plywood. Stump Removal: The stumps of removal-trees located within or adjacent to the dripline of a save-tree should not be excavated. Rather, these stumps should be sawn flush to the ground or treated with a stump grinder, leaving the stump's root wadi and adjacent save-tree roots undisturbed. C 'Root collar (root flare or root crown) - A point at tree base where the roots and trunk merge. z Root wad - The mass of soil and large structural roots immediately below the trunk. Page 2 of 4 C Attachment B Tree Preservation Guidelines Arrabelle at Vail Square By Mark Stelle, Registered Consulting Arborist March 23, 2005 Excess Soil Storage: Excess soil should not be stored (even temporarily) within the dripline of any save-tree. The adverse effects of this excess soil are as follows: • Compaction irreparably damages the critical root zone by inhibiting critical gas exchange and water percolation. • Compaction often kills beneficial soil microbes that are associated with root health. • The cleanup process of removing excess soil by machines often introduces further physical damage to surface roots. If temporary placement of fill soil within the dripline of a tree becomes absolutely unavoidable, there are two prudent protective measures. • Encircle the trunk with vertically place straw bales. • Cover entire area inside the dripline with landscape fabric prior to adding fill dirt. Aeration System: If permanently adding extra soil over the root zone becomes an unavoidable option, an adequate aeration system should first be designed and installed under the guidance of a consulting arborist. Once an aeration system and trunk protection has been installed, the excavator may commence with the addition of fill dirt. Soil Retention: Any time a proposed excavation cut and the associated over-cut encroaches the dripline, vertical shoring such as soil nailing should be considered. Water Stress Mitigation: A tree on a construction site can become water-stressed from several influences. • Physical root damage or destruction. • Increased exposure from the drying effects of sun upon soil and foliage. • Reduced availability of ground water, due to the wicking effects of an exposed hillside excavation cut. • Soil compaction can adversely affect the availability of rainwater. Supplemental Watering: Supplemental watering of all critical save-trees during this construction project should be scheduled. Prior to initial excavation, a supplemental water source should be secured. If hydrant water is not immediately available on the site prior to construction, a water truck should be scheduled. Page 3 of 4 0 Attachment B J Tree Preservation Guidelines Arrabelle at Vail Square By Mark Stelle, Registered Consulting Arborist March 23, 2005 Water Frequency and Volume: This is a customized program which varies greatly between each tree depending upon size, slope, exposure, and weather patterns of a given month. Specific needs must be monitored by the consulting arborist at the time of initial excavation. SUBCONTRACTOR BIDDING SPECIFICATIONS The roles of a consulting arborist are to review proposed impacts to save-tree candidates, provide guidance, and to monitor (dependant upon the project budget) construction impacts. The creation of tree preservation guidelines is an important step in a tree preservation program. However, the people truly hired to save trees are the contractors and subcontractors who are onsite every day. In addition to denoting on all future site plans the physical location of the tree protection fence, the bidding prospectus for all subcontractors, particularly excavators, should clearly reference the "off limits" tree protection zone. This is absolutely essential since the positioning of the fence limits the size of machinery allowable, the access for backfilling, scaffolding size, and general working space between the structure and the tree dripline. Subcontractors must understand that the tree protection fence must remain unaltered throughout the construction and landscape construction process. 0 Page 4 of 4 X ~ o ctz) r CD 0 O X ~ ~ ~ ~ C"D (D N o 0 CD n p CD W O ~ ,.O d 0 O p ~OOC ID o o C ID~ ~ Cl a0 CCD n 0 0 to 0 o CD c b o C,, N C-D C 0 o m a oc o 'd n I CD ~CD O o.
