Per your request we have visited the property at the above address on 2/20/2025 and
our findings are as follows:
An approximately 25”–28” DBH laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia) is located in the front
yard, within a cluster of trees to the left of the driveway. The trunk of this tree is
completely hollow, exhibiting extensive decay and has a significant decay pocket on
the trunk. The tree leans toward the road and nearby houses.
This tree is in decline and is a hazard. Targets within its fall zone include:
• Pedestrians
• Vehicular traffic
• Children playing in the roadway after 3 PM
• Multiple residential properties
Using the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ) matrix, based on a two-year
timeframe, this tree has been assigned a HIGH overall risk rating.
The detailed matrix findings are as follows:
• Likelihood of Failure: Probable
• Likelihood of Impacting Target: High
• Likelihood of Failure and Impact: Likely
• Consequences of Failure: HIGH
There are no mitigation options that will reduce the overall risk rating below a
moderate rating.
