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.

Trees that are numbered below #70 and are proposed for removal are in direct conflict with the site redevelopment. Those over #70 and proposed for removal are located on the slope along the southern perimeter and are in poor condition. There has been a high amount of failure within this area and many of the trees are not suitable for long term retention. 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.
