George,
I have reviewed the request and the photos sent by Brent Swan, Valley Crest.
This request is well documented and is justified, in my opinion.
I do not think that I need to make a site visit.
I recommend to approve this request for removal.
Best regards,
Mick

Regarding Tree RemovaVArborist Report
I am requesting permission for the removal of two large Canary Island Pines (Image 1) at
10883 Northoak Sq. Tree 274 A measure 22 inches circumference. Tree 274 B measures
23.5 inches in circumference. These trees have reached a point in the development where
they are causing damage to concrete in common space and damage to privately owned
driveway and curbs.
Tripping hazards caused by raised sidewalk slabs have been repaired multiple times;
please see Images 2 and 3. Roots growing below sidewalks are show in Image 4 . Roots
growing against the foundation of the house are shown in image 5. Damage to the
driveway and curb are shown in Images 6 and 7. Excavation of soil sidewalk and
structure foundation revealed roots beneath and against these structures. Excavation of
soil near the drive way did not reveal roots within the first 8-10 inches in selected areas.
I am presuming the damage is cause by settling and roots deeper in the soil. It is
important to recognize the damage to the driveway may not have been caused by roots.
It is my opinion the damage clearly caused by roots warrants the removal of these trees.
Further tripping hazards are likely to develop if not removed and cost associated with
removal will increase as trees grow larger.
I am also requesting a 1:1 replacement ratio as granted on the most recent removal
application of Northpoint HOA. Tree species and size will be Southern Magnolia, 24"
box. Please see map for removal and replant locations.
Al!tree work performed by Valley Crest Tree Care Services is executed in accordance with the"Practical Specifications for Contract
Tree Managemen["which encompasses the American National Standard of Pruning A-300. Yalley Crest Tree Care conducts all
working procedures in a safe and orderly manner as established by OSHA and ANSI Z-133.I.
