Large hollow pockets in their would be structural support wood, creating hinging <br /> points for which to fail under a wind load or heavy snow-ice loading episodes. There are <br /> many targets beneath these trees which have compromised structural integrity, such as <br /> the house, other healthy and or recently planted trees, boats staged in the marina and <br /> potentially humans. Tree #5, an unhealthy spruce due to the crowded condition in which <br /> it has been planted. It is also too close to the house for development. Once properly <br /> cleared from the structure, there would not be an appropriate root-crown balance for long <br /> term potential. In my site assessment, I have advised the homeowners to remove these <br /> hazard trees as soon as conditions allow and certainly prior to any restoration dollars are <br /> put toward the structure. <br /> See diagram B, due to their rapid development and disease and insect resistant nature, I <br /> have advised the planting of 5 - 12' Norway Spruce as shown to close off the site line to <br /> the marina and the preservation of the 100 + year old White Oak, centrally located on the <br /> lot. <br /> Thank you for taking the time to review our request. If you have any further questions or <br /> wish to meet on the site, please contact me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> G <br /> �� <br /> Steve Kuefler <br /> District Manager <br /> office 763-553-9740 <br /> cell 612-919-1430 <br /> TH � D ,� vE �� T �: � � ExPEx �l� Co �Ti� � � �� , K � �v �r , OHIo 44240 <br /> www . davey . com <br />
