SUBJECT: Tree Survey Performed on the Nonhlake 635 Business Park, Phase I
I visited the above mentioned site this week in order to familiarize myself with the site
characteristics and condition of the existing trees. As you are aware, the tree surveyor for this
project has omitted fi.om the reparation list, several trees which would ordinarily fall within the
size and species ~uidelines for being protected trees. AH or' the trees being exempted from the
protected list are of'the species Prosopis grandulosa (mesquite). While several spedmens at this
location are desirable of preserving, most are not in a condition which would generally be
classified as a tree to be protected and preserved. Many of'these trees have sulk-red significant
bark damage at the base, are emitting a brown flux or ooze and are dropping large limbs. This
situation creates an unsafe, weak wooded tree which is in obvious decline.
I also noticed the tree survey performed at this site is not complete. There are a few trees of'note
which are not reflected on the survey and need to be added to the list of'trees for which reparation
is due. Also, a few of the trees should be mitigated which are listed on the tree survey but are not
proposed to be replaced. In particular, trees with tag numbers 24, 27, 43 and 91 should be
mitigated and reparation made as damage to these trees is minimal and with trimming and care,
they could make acceptable landscape trees.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
