Recommendation of Urban Forestry Advisory Committee: The
project was presented to the Urban Forestry Advisory Committee

loss of an oak tree downslope of the construction zone. UFAC was
concerned about the possible impact to the tree and asked staff to
examine options to tree removal if it is determined that the tree is
impacted. Staff believes that the tree will be minimally affected by the
construction operations and will monitor the work to protect the tree's
root structure.
