Dear Mr. Davis,
Per your request, I visited 334 11th Street Atlantic Beach, Florida 32233 to provide you with a tree survey and
an evaluation of the health and condition of all protected trees.
There are a total of 40 protected trees on the tree survey. 32 trees I evaluated appear healthy with a total of
414 inches that will have to be mitigated if removed. I was able to condemn 8 trees in extreme decline with a
total of 78 inches that should Not have to be mitigated if removed. Please refer to the attached spreadsheet
with all pertinent tree data.
These 8 trees are in extreme decline and pose an unacceptable risk. Removal of all 8 trees is the only means of
practically mitigating the risk below moderate.
This onsite assessment was performed in accordance with the tree risk assessment procedures outlined in Best
Management Practices - Tree Risk Assessment, Second Edition (2017) by an arborist certified by the
International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) or a Florida licensed landscape architect and signed by the
certified arborist or licensed landscape architect.
In addition to this letter, I have submitted a property diagram and a tree table with tree details and problems
found.
If you have any questions, please call me at 904-610-1130.
Sincerely,
Gene Washington
