SUBJECT: Tree Inspection for 1040 Loma Linda Ave
On Apri15,2002 I inspected the trees at the above address. The property owner wants to cut down
three trees on his lakefront property. One tree is dead and can be cut. This tree has to be replaced
by a 2-3 inch diameter tree in its place. The other tree by the lake is not dead but it is rotting out at
the trunk. I told him that he must get a tree expert on-site to determine if the tree needs to be
removed. After we get the report we will decide if it can be cut. The tree by the house is over 75
feet from lake and not on a slope. He can cut this tree. The property owner agreed to all of the
requirements.

To Whom it rnay concErn:
I inspected the large American Linden on Loren� Pellect's property and would
advise that the tree be removed. The tree as completely hollow with only a narrow band
vf solid tissue around most of the diameter of the trunk. ln addition it has an open split
for a considerable distance up the trunk. This a]low:,moisture to enter with great
potential for additional rotting. �'he tree ac present is a distinct hazard. It could very
easily fall down in a wind or ice storm especially since Lindens are a soft wooded tree.
