Bedker.Ph.D. <br />Consulting Community Forester <br />RE:Luzaich Restoration Plan Parameters <br />2490 Old Beach Road <br />Application #2492 <br />The following are parameters that should be used to design and evaluate restoration plans for the Luzaich <br />residence at 2490 Old Beach Road. They were prepared to maet your stated desire objectives to restore <br />the lakeshore to wooded, natural appearing landscape in as short of time as possible. These parameters <br />were developed at your request and are based on on-site observations and measurements made June 9, <br />1999 and June 14,1999. <br />Observations and Background <br />The April 19.1999 survey (Coffin & Gronberg. Inc) of the property identified a total of 16 trees with stump <br />diameters of 12 inches or greater that were renxived from the rear (lake side) of the residence On-site <br />investigations identified an American linden stump (21 inch diameter) located 32.5 feet northeast of the <br />northeast corner of the Luzaich residence that was not indicated on the survey. Species composition of <br />canopy trees was as follows; 47% sugar maple {Acer saccharum), 47% American linden (77///a americana) <br />and 6% northern red oak {Ouercus rubra). Understory trees included sapling and seedlings of these <br />species as well as ironwood (Ostrya wrginiana) and American elm [Ulmus americana). <br />The trees removed were a remnant of a mature sugar maple • basswood forest The height of remaining <br />' trees on adjacent properties to the are 80 to 85 feet <br />Tree diameters at 4.5 feet above the ground (DBH) were estimated based on measurements of stump <br />height and diameters. An estimated 6,950 in’ of cross-sectional area of trees were removed.
