Hi Mariah
Thanks for the feedback.
Listed below are the alternatives that we looked at that were not feasible or reasonable.
1. Relocate the driveway: There is no way possible to relocate the driveway based on
the location of the tree
2. Metal Plates over the roots: This would not work as it would cause a safety hazard
when its raining and/or freezing
3. Removing the roots that are causing severe irreparable damage to the tree would kill
the tree and create a fall hazard to potential hit 3 houses
4. Taking out the driveway would cause the loss of access to the garage.
We have looked at all the possible alternatives and we could not find any that are
feasible.
We want to keep the home/driveway in the similar state that we purchased the property
that has an asphalt driveway.
Let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks for your help

Hello Chris,
Thank you for getting the form updated. There is one other thing that would help
distinguish that we have gone over alternatives and found they are not feasible. Could
you or have your arborist provide a short narrative (I will include this into the submittals)
that you have reviewed the alternatives given and they are not feasible, possibly
highlighting the impacting and physical damage.

After that I should have everything, I need to process this and move forward to approval
of the RVMP by my planning manager.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.
Thank you and have a great weekend,
