Subject: 0749 Gage Forest Lot 23 Tree Protection
On January 13, I visited the Gage Forest subdivision in Tigard to inspect tree protection fencing on lot 23. The protected
tree is a Douglas -fir with a diameter of about 30 inches, and located on the adjacent property to the west.
Orange construction fencing had been installed on lots 22 and 23 at a distance of 12 feet from the common property
corner between lots 22 and 23, as I had previously recommended. This roughly corresponds with the tree dripline, but is
slightly within the dripline in some locations. I noted that some construction debris remains within the fenced area. I
discussed this on site with Dorian Watts, who planned to remove it immediately.
Note that the following activities should be restricted within the protection area:
• Moving or removing the protection fence without approval of an arborist
• Excavation
• Stockpiling of soil
• Storage of equipment or supplies
• Operation of mechanized equipment
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Walt

Subject: RE: Lot 23 of Gage Forest
Todd, Dorian, and Loraine,
Here's my follow up as per Todd's e-mail:
• Tree Health: Current Condition. The tree appears to be in good health; there is no indication of defect or decline.
Foliage is normal, and there is no recent dieback of twigs or branches, which would be an indicator of potential
construction damage or root disease. Note that I was not able to examine the base of the tree due to its location.
• Protection Fence Verification. After I'm notified by Dorian that the fence has been installed, I'll revisit the site to
verify. I'll submit an inspection report following that.
Please let me know if there are any other items needing my attention. Thank you,
Walt

Dear Dorian,
When I met with you the other day ou mentioned that there was no tr- '• protection around tree 1784 on lot 22.
I checked the building site plan submitte• •y Timberland Horn-. on 10/11/07 and it shows tree protection around tree
1784 with a statement saying that the tree p •tection was ' place. The tree protection fencing must remain in place
until final inspection of that lot.
In order for me to approve the building permi .r lot 2 , will need the tree protection fencing to be installed per Walt's
recommendations on both lots 22 and 23. ill also need a .ssessment of the tree's health from Walt in order to
determine if there has been any dama; - from past construction = tivities on lot 22.
Finally, when you resubmit th- lte plan for lot 23, please show the tree • otection fencing to scale per Walt's
recommendations with a c- ification from Walt that the tree protection fe ..ng has been approved by him and
installed per plan (and g both lots).
Please do not • itate to contact me if you have any questions regarding these require -nts.

Subject: RE: Lot 23 of Gage Forest
On December 4, I met with Dorian Watts at lot 23 at Gage Forest. My assignment was to prescribe tree protection for tree
no. 1784, a Douglas -fir with a diameter of approximately 30 inches. The tree is actually located on the property west of
Gage Forest, immediately adjacent to lot 22.
Recommendations: As discussed in the field with Dorian, I recommend installation of tree protection fencing at a distance
of 12 feet from the west property corner pin between lots 22 and 23. This will provide adequate protection for the tree and
still allow room for workers to install the house foundation on lot 23. The following activities should be restricted within the
tree dripline (the area between the west property line and the foundation):
• Excavation
• Stockpiling of soil
• Storage of equipment or supplies
• Operation of mechanized equipment
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these recommendations, or if I can help you in any way.
Thank you,
Walt

Dear Dorian,
I'm not sure if you are the right person to contact regarding this, but there was little contact info. with the site plans I
received (lots 7 and 23 of Gage Forest).
I approved the site plan for lot 7, but lot 23 needs revisions prior to my approval. Specifically, the approved tree
protection plan for Gage Forest shows a significant amount of tree protection fencing on lot 23. As required by
Condition 37 of the Gage Forest Subdivision...
Prior to issuance of building permits, the applicant shall submit site plan drawings indicating the location of the trees
that were preserved on the lot, location of tree protection fencing, and a signature of approval from the project arborist
regarding the placement and construction techniques to be employed in building the house. All proposed protection
fencing shall be installed and inspected prior to commencing construction, and shall remain in place through the duration
of home building. After approval from the City Forester, the tree protection measures may be removed.

r
Please revise the site plan for lot 23 (with tree protection dimensions shown to scale) and include a statement /signature
from the project arborist that addresses the items above.
If you are not the right person to receive this information, please let me know who the correct contact is or forward it
along.
Sincerely,
Todd Prager
