2269 Oceanforest Drive W Arborist Letter Marc White / I.S.A. Certified Arborist FL-5641-A Marc White I.S.A. Certified Arborist I.S.A. TRAQ Qualified FL-5641-A Office: (904) 270-2090 Cell: (904) 607-4113 Marcwhite1300@gmail.com 2269 Oceanforest Drive W Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 Per your request we have visited the property at the above address on 2/26/2024 and our findings are as follows: A. 17” DBH and 19” DBH laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia) – these trees are in raised beds that border the sidewalk. It appears that most of the root system on the west side of both trees were severed at some point to install the sidewalk. The root systems have continually heaved because of the cutting of the roots further weakening the root system. The root systems have encroached the sidewalk and as a result, the sidewalk is lifting and cracking. Although these trees appear to have normal, healthy vigorous growth, the defect is in the anchorage on the west side of each tree. Targets in the fall zone of these trees are houses, the driveway, roadway, and pedestrians on the sidewalk. Using the TRAQ Matrix, these trees have a HIGH overall risk rating. There is no way to mitigate the severed root systems. If the sidewalk is repaired and the roots under the sidewalk are removed, this will further increase the overall risk rating and failure probability. Pictures are attached. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Marc White / I.S.A. Certified Arborist FL-5641-A Marc White I.S.A. Certified Arborist I.S.A.
