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 Certified Arborist FL-5623A ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification
