July 24, 1996 <br /> t• 11 ATTN.: Mr. Scott Plamondon <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. <br /> '' Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> i ' ' Reference: Tree Assessment <br /> w Location: West Broadway /Lincoln Street <br /> '! Subject: Construction Trauma <br /> •5. There are 3 trees located near the intersection of West Broadway <br /> ,_li and Lincoln Street, one Black- walnut and two Oregon Big Leaf- <br /> " maples. <br /> 4,,, The purpose of my inspection and investigation was to examine <br /> the trees, their location and what affects the forthcoming <br /> {,•., construction trauma will have on their longevity. <br /> 0, ' F Many of my forthcoming calculations and predictions are made <br /> • in working with many older species of trees, 22 of which are <br /> the largest, namesake or heritage trees, both here and throughout <br /> r the state. In addition I have worked on and studied most of <br /> the larger street trees in Eugene, Oregon including the trees <br /> in this report while I was the tree surgeon for the City from <br /> ") 1964 through 1966. <br /> • <br /> ll' <br /> I examined each tree individually and did a drilling of the <br /> each tree's root flair to determine the structural stability, <br /> both above ground and for any signs of decay in the buttress <br /> of the tree. <br /> 1 Because of time allowed on this project my inspection was visual <br /> and from the ground. If an inspection was conducted up into <br /> 1 ) the trees trunks and canopy I believe one would find the overall <br /> tree to be some what worse than the forthcoming report. <br /> i <br /> 4 <br /> E <br />
