Smerling 2552 West Lake of the Isles Boulevard Minneapolis, Minnesota 55405 ; r, <, Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smerling I have the following observations and comments to make regarding the damage to your Casco Point Road property on Lake Minnetonka. My Information is based on a visit to the site this afternoon with you. The construction project in the neighboring yard to the north apparently has resulted In direct damage to your property and may have an influence on the value of your site and building. 1. 2. \ A The direct damage which I feel can be attributed to the neighbors actions is as ^ol 1OWSI Compaction and wearing of the grass surface because of its consistent use as a construction access. This area of lawn should be replaced. Destruction and removal of plant material, a) 5 large lilacs. These have been obviously cut off by a machine or axe in the process of excavation.. The plants which were quite mature will be difficult to replace because of their size and age. ^ Removal of small trees in the area of the lilacs. Damage to the trunks of the trees west of the garage should be repaired by a tree surgeon. Fill and construction debris should be removed from the root root zone of the remaining plants back down to the level of theoriginal grade. Failure to do this could result in loss of vigor in the trees in particular. All the plants have suffered a shock to the root system which should be corrected with a feeding program and pruning by a tree surgeon. Severely damaged trees and shrubs should be replaced.
