Summary
Mr. Ju,
You have retained my consulting arborist services to provide a tree inventory and protection plan for the
property described as 240 Longley Way Arcadia, CA 91007. You are in the planning process of demolishing the
existing single family home and redeveloping the property with a new single family home.
The proposed demolition and construction is expected to have minimal impact to all the protected trees that will
remain due to the substantial distance of excavations, trenches, and footings to the tree trunks. A complete tree
protection plan will be included to protect above and below ground tree parts from physical damage, soil
compaction, and chemical damage.
Background and assignment
Mr. Ju is a homeowner that is in the permitting process of demolishing the existing house and re-
developing this property.
Mr. Ju has requested that I provide the following arboricultural services.
1) Identify all trees based on the Topographic survey
2) Evaluate the current health and possible impacts of the proposed construction based on the
provided site plan and make recommendations.
3) Provide a tree protection plan that will help ensure the short and long term health of the tees
during and after construction activities are completed.
The following report is based on my analysis of the trees and surrounding landscape. For the purpose of
this report I will address these trees as Trees # 1 thru 14.

ARBORIST DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
Arborist: Javier Cabral Date: May 19, 2018
Arborists are tree specialists who use their education, knowledge, training and experience to examine
trees, recommend measures to enhance the beauty and health of trees, make recommendations to prevent
or minimize damage to trees during and after construction projects, and attempt to reduce the risk of
living near trees. Clients may choose to accept or disregard the recommendations of the arborist, or to
seek additional advice.
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are living organisms that fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within
trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe under all
circumstances, or for a specified period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any medicine,
cannot be guaranteed.
Treatment, pruning and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, site lines, disputes between neighbors, and
other issues. Arborists cannot take such considerations into account unless complete and accurate
information is disclosed to the arborist. An arborist should then be expected to reasonably rely upon the
completeness and accuracy of the information provided.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near trees is to accept some degree of risk.
The only way to eliminate all risk associated with trees is to eliminate all trees.
