Crispeno Tree Maintenance Bond.pdf
Hi Carmen,
I hope you are having a good summer! As you are aware, during construction of the short plat civil
th
improvements at 9812 235 Pl. SW (File No. PLN20060146), the roots of four trees were damaged.
These trees were assessed by Bob Layton with International Forestry Consultants in a letter dated
5/10/12, and you posted a three-year maintenance bond in order to guarantee the monitoring of
these trees (the arborist letter and bond are both attached for reference). The maintenance bond
that you posted to cover the monitoring of these trees is at its expiration.
In order for the city to be able to release the bond, please have an ISA- or ASCA-certified arborist
reassess the subject trees consistent with Mr. Layton’s 5/10/12 assessment in order to determine
whether the trees can be retained or if they have an increased risk of failure and need to be
replaced. Following your arborist’s reassessment, please provide me with their written conclusions
at your earliest convenience for review.
Thank you,
Jen
