Hammitt, Bob <br /> From: Stansfield, Adrian <br /> To: Morgan, Dick <br /> Cc: Weber, John; Hammitt, Bob <br /> Subject: Tree removal , Broadway and Chamelton <br /> Date: Monday, July 25, 1994 7:41AM <br /> RAM, As you said, Dave Edwards was called out Saturday moming to clean up a downed limb from a Sweetgum <br /> on the N/W comer of Broadway and Chamelton. Dave cleaned up the limbs and got them out of the way. <br /> Mark and Dave went down to clean up this moming (Monday July 25th). Mark called me down to look at what <br /> was left of the tree. There were two limbs that broke. One from the top of the tree where it was forked in three <br /> directions at one point. The other was a limb farther down on the crown that was broken by the top limb falling <br /> on it. Both limbs were 6 to 8 inches in diameter. What was left at the top was bad situation made worse by the <br /> limb that broke saturday. There were two leads, forked at the same point with a bark inclusion on one side and <br /> the fresh break on the other. To elimanate the hazardous portion of the top and the remainder of the lower limb <br /> that broke saturday would leave only one major limb on the northeast portion of the tree. <br /> I instructed Mark to remove the entire tree while they were there and eliminate the hazard. <br /> The tree is 16 to 18 inches dbh and is of the size that would normally requirer posting, however, because of the <br /> unusual circumstances I determined to not post and remove the tree at this time. <br /> Item number 1 and 4 of the "Policy For Large, Hazardous Tree Removal" policy allow for such removals in my <br /> oppinion. Mark has taken pictures and we will follow up with a written report. <br /> Page 1 <br />
