BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
In 1999, the Board of Supervisors approved the Stone Valley Oaks
project authorizing the construction of 47 single family residences
in a clustered development which allowed retention of open space
area. As a requirement of the subdivision approval, the applicant
was required to file an application to nominate native trees on-
site for heritage status pursuant to the County' s Heritage Tree
Preservation Ordinance (Chapter 816-4) .
The developer, Summerhill Homes, filed such an application to
nominate 242 trees within the project for heritage status. The
matter was initially heard by the San Ramon Valley Regional
Planning Commission on June 21, 2000, at which time the Commission
voted to recommend that the Board designate these trees for
heritage designation.
