The purpose of the <br />examination was to determine the hazard rating of the subject tree and suggest r+emedial <br />action if appmpriate. <br />The tree was examined on April 20, 2005 by Tom Hanson. <br />Tree detail is attached on the `Tree hazard Evaluation Forrn". <br />The subjeck tree is about 30 years in age with a single trunk. It is in good condition with <br />normal crown and no indications of bole or root disease. The tree leans slightly over <br />Glenwood Avenue. <br />The tree is growing above and immediately adjacent to a rodc retaining wall that separates <br />the sidewalk and the residence. The nature of cottonwoods is that they grow rapidly and <br />have aggressive root systems. Those root systems are known to heave sidewalks and push <br />into or through retaining walls. <br />With the evidence of a lean and the proximiry to the retaining wall, it is my opinion that this <br />tree is a progressing hazard. <br />It is my rec�mmendation that this tree be removed. <br />There is no warrar►ty suggest�d for any of the ire�es subje�t to this report. Weather, latent <br />tr�e conditions, and futur� man-caused activities could cause physiologic changes and <br />deterioratfng tree condition. Over time, deteriorating tr�e conditiorts may appear and ther� <br />may be eonditions, which are not now visible which, cou/d cause t�e f�ilu�. This ieport or <br />the v�e�a/ cpmmertts made at the site in no way v�arrant the structural stability or long term <br />condition of any tree, but repr�sent my opinion based on the obsenrations m�de. <br />Nearly all trees in any conditivn standing with�n ►�ach of improverrier�ts or human use a►�as <br />repr�sent hazards that could /ead to damage or injury. <br />Please call if I can be of further assistance. <br />Sinc�ety, <br />� <br />��i '6m/a�s . anson ISA <br />Certified Arbanst <br />(425) 820-3420 • Fa� (425) 820-3437 • v�vw.inforestry.com <br />
