SAFETY TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS - Safety tree pruning shall consist of the <br />total removal of those dead or living branches as may menace the future health, strength <br />and attractiveness of trees. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner to: <br />11.1 Prevent branch and foliage interference with requirements of safe passage of golf <br />carts, golfers and utility vehicles. Over vehicle passage areas, clearing shall be <br />kept to a minimum of sixteen (16) feet. Eight (8) feet of clearance is required <br />above the surface of areas used by golfers and golf carts. Exceptions are allowed <br />for young trees which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. <br />11.2 Remove dead and dying branches and branch stubs that are two (2) inches in <br />diameter or more. <br />11.3 Remove all broken or loose branches. <br />11.4 Remove any live branches which interfere with the tree's structural strength and <br />healthful development, which will include the following: <br />• Limbs of weak structure or otherwise hazardous. <br />• Selective removal of limbs obstructing buildings or other structures or <br />traffic signs. Generally, limbs closer than five (5) feet to a building or other <br />structure should be removed unless doing so would severely damage a <br />tree. <br />11.5 Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a minimum height of eight (8) feet above <br />ground level. Exceptions are allowed for young trees which would be irreparably <br />damaged by such pruning action. <br />Exhibit E — Maintenance Standards June 1, 2020 <br />City of San Leandro and American Golf Corporation Page 45 of 45 <br />
