Dear Ted,
D CIRUWUR I
May 23, 1989
Ms. Pat Graham called our office on April 26, 1989, and asked us
to evaluate possible construction damage to existing trees on her
property at 730 West Prospect. I visited the property on April 28
and met with Pat on site. She would like to make her house into
a bed and breakfast establishment. Her major concern was that she
may be required to pave her drive -way to meet City code
specifications, and that this would damage or kill several large
old trees.
In going through the property, and looking at the trees in
question, I counted nine (9) large blue spruce and one (1) American
sycamore that would be negatively impacted by drive -way
construction. The roots of all 10 of these trees extend throughout
the current drive area. My recommendation would be to add an
attractive gravel to level the drive -way, but to leave it unpaved.
This should leave all the roots intact and functioning.
If you have any further questions please give me a call. Thank you
for your time.
Sincerely,
_Ra�A 3
