Both were damaged by the heavy, wet snow fall early in the winter <br /> season. We were called to remove the damaged portions of the trees. <br /> Upon examination of the trees, both were damaged beyond any point of repair. If you examine <br /> the stump on the tree removed nearest to the lake, you will find substantial rot in the stump <br /> which extended up the tree. The other tree had lost a sufficient number of branches so that <br /> recovery was not possible. <br /> I am now aware that the City should have been contacted even for the removal of damaged <br /> trees within a certain setback from the lake and will do so in the future. <br /> If you would like to discuss this matter with me, please call me at 612 384 7700. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> �_' <br /> <�i�-,- �G� <br /> Brian Tongen ������ <br /> cc: Jim and Joann Jundt � �` Z � ~ ( � <br />
