Megan,
We have finished inventorying and marking all of the trees that need consideration because of their size or location.
There are twenty White Pine trees that are located either in the proposed four house lots or on the proposed driveway to be built.
Four of those trees # 17 - 20 are located on house lot # 1.
House lot # 1 also has a hazard tree that is not included in this survey but is over 20" in diameter. It is half dead and should be removed.
Trees # 1 - 16 are located along the driveway and lots # 2 - 4.
Tree # 11, located in house lot # 2 is a hazard tree ( dead inside) and should be excluded from the count.
Tree # 13 and Tree # 14 I think are inside of the buffer zone between House lot # 3 and lot # 4. I think a clearer definition of the buffer zone is necessary to be certain?? They are
close to the proposed driveway of lot #3 so would not be interfering with any heavy excavation for septic or foundation work.
Tree # 16 is located on the North west corner of House lot # 4 and should be left as it's at the edge of the rear buffer zone and is at the opposite side of the yard from the proposed
septic system.
All of these twenty trees are Eastern White Pine and are marked with green tape and an additional white tape with the tree number on them.
Trees # 11, 13, 14 ,16 have double green tape to help identify them.
There are an additional five Eastern White Pine trees that are growing along the driveway, on the property line with the City property and the neighbor to the south. These trees should
be removed as their roots will be disturbed too much during excavation for either the driveway or the retention pond. Because of the root disruption they could blow over easily in
the right conditions in a storm and will likely suffer some sort of dieback as well.
All of the city owned trees are marked with blue colored tape.
There is also one White Oak, located at the end of the proposed driveway, that is on the city owned land piece right next to Glendale Road. It is a "city shade tree" that would require
a hearing before it is removed. It should be removed for the same reasons, too much root removal around it for the proposed retention pond.
I hope this information is helpful and understandable.
James
