Subject: Nuisance trees on south property line & defective pines on north property line
Dear Ms. Hager,
On this past March 18th we met to examine the trees along the south property line. You
expressed a concern over the current size of the trees and the potential for tree failure, as
well as, the potential for damage to the property as the trees continue to mature.
The subject trees from west to east are as follows:
1. Pine with 12" DBH and approximately 40 feet in height
2. Western red cedar with 16" DBH and approximately 50 feet in height
3. Western red cedar with 10" DBH and 30 feet in height
4. Black pine with 18" DBH and 50 feet in height
All 4 of the above trees are large growing species that are not suitable for restricted
spaces for either their canopies or root crown/root plates. The space between the
buildings and fence is barely 10 feet and is therefore restricted space for both the
canopies and root crowns/root plates. The concern is the damage that will soon be done to
foundations, storm water drainage lines, patios and fences as the root crowns expand, the
root plates spread out and to the buildings themselves as the canopies grow and expand.
Please see the photos below as evidence of the imminent damage.
The root crown/plate concerns cannot be mitigated. The canopy concerns could be
addressed by pruning for a time but ultimately the buildings are going to be overwhelmed
as the trees continue to reach their size potential. It is my opinion that these are the wrong
species for the location. I recommend removal and replacement with more suitable
species.

During our meeting you also mentioned the PSE representative
indicated the 2 pine trees on the north property line have defects
that increase their probability of failure. This is in fact true.
The first tree inspected is the pine overhanging the garage. It has
a 17" DBH and is 40 feet in height. Previous line clearance
maintenance pruning has contributed to the severely
asymmetrical crown form. The tree also has a bowed trunk and
co -dominant scaffolds with included baric. High voltage lines
are immediately to the north of the tree. I believe the pruning
must achieve 12 feet of clearance from the lines which may
require topping the tree or at best, further exacerbate the
asymmetry of the crown form by eliminating one of the co-
dominant tops.
The other pine is located east of the first pine. Again, the
crown form is asymmetric. This tree has multiple co-
dominant attachments, all with included bark. The line
clearance requirement will again demand excessive pruning
or topping.
We have a repeat of the wrong tree for the location issue.
My recommendation is to remove these trees and if
required re -plant with a species suited to growing under
high voltage lines.
The Davey Tree Expert Company is pleased to be of
assistance with the tree care concerns of the Meadowood
Townhomes. Should you have any questions or, require
further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact my
office.
