Inventory of Trees Table 1 presents all trees identified during my site visit on January 15, 2018. The majority of the trees were previously surveyed and identified on the site plan I was provided although several trees were added and species and diameter corrected. This information has been shared with the landscape architect and should be updated on the current plans. Each tree has been numbered, starting at the northern portion of the property. Those marked with an asterisk I believe to be located off site. Condition ratings are defined by Poor, Fair, and Good; the following guidelines are used: ~ Trees rated as ‘Poor’ are showing signs of decline, stress, poor structure such as co-dominant stems, rot, or decay. The ‘Poor’ rated trees are not typically recommended for retention. ~ Trees rated as ‘Fair’ are showing signs of stress, poor structure but not of concern; overall not having vigorous growth. The ‘fair’ rated trees may be considered for retention. It is a judgment call. ~ Trees rated as ‘Good’ are showing signs of vigorous growth, no decay or rot and good structure. Trees rated as ‘Good’ are strong candidates for retention.

These trees are diseased, dying, considered hazardous or a combination of these factors. Off Site Trees I do not believe that the proposed project will have any impacts on trees adjacent to the property. Tree Protection Tree protection fencing is recommended for the trees to be retained. Fencing should be placed along the driplines of individual trees or the outer edges of the driplines of groups of trees to be retained. Professionally Submitted, Kevin M.
