Attn: Mr. Max Hebert
Dear Max:
Below please find my evaluation of the mature 24” diameter white pine tree located adjacent to the concrete retaining wall at the boiler plant on the Clark School property.
Due to the tree being situated next to the concrete retaining wall, it has had limited rooting area for anchorage of the tree as it has grown. The tree has a heavy lean toward the building.
Construction of a walkway on the opposite side of the tree will cause a fall hazard eventually.
Unfortunately, there are no remedial procedures for this tree due to site conditions and the tree should be removed to eliminate personal injury and property damage.
Please call me if you have any questions regarding this assessment.
Sincerely,
David J. Cotton, President
