WA 9Fi0.33 • USA <br />Mr. L.arry Cram <br />City of Everett, Street Department <br />3200 Cedar St. <br />Everett, WA 98201 <br />Dear Mr. Cram: <br />Re: 7ree 1903 Rockefeller , Everett, WA <br />At your request, I have examined a Big leaf Maple (Acer mac►nphyllum) standing at 1903 <br />Rockefeller Avenue in Everett, Washington. The purpose af the examination was to <br />determine the hazard rating of the subject tree and suggest remedial action if appropriate. <br />The tree was examined on August 2,2004 by Tom Hanson. <br />Tree detail is attadied on the "Tree hazarc! Evaluation Form". <br />The subject tree is 80 or more years in age with a single trunk. It is an over- mature tree that <br />has reached its life span. f did not find evidence of fungal invasion or decayed wood. <br />However the tree has small, discolored leaves and appears to be in decline, particularly on <br />the north side. <br />The soil around the tree is mounded and the sidewalk is heaved and despite recent repairs is <br />causing a significant hazard condi#ion. Proposed sidewalk repairs will cut roots on the west <br />and north side. This cutting will most likely extend 2-feet or more in depth. This activity will <br />exacerbate the current declining condition as well as destabilize the tree. <br />(t is my recommendation that this tree be removed. <br />There is no wa►ranty suggested for any of the t►Ees subject to this report. Weather, latent <br />tr�e conditions, and future man-caused activities cou/d cause physiologic changes and <br />deteriorating t►�e condition. Over time, deteriorating tr�e conditions may appear and there <br />may be conditions, which are not now visible which, cou/d cause tr�e failur�. This report or <br />the ve►ibal comments made at the site in no way warrant the structural stability or long term <br />condition of any t►�e, but repr�sent my opinion based on fhe observations made. <br />Nearly all t�es in any condition standing within reach of imp►�vemer�ts or human use are�s <br />r�present hazards that cou/d /ead to damage or injury. <br />Please call if I can be of further assistance. <br />Sincerety, <br />� <br />� � G�� <br />Thomas M.
