Regarding: Tree Preservation
Dear:Russ McCrea and whomever else it may concern,
The Critical Root Zone of a large,mature specimen Silver Maple tree(Acer saccharinum)with a DBH
(Diameter at Breast Height)of 60 inches,an approximate height of 68' and 90' spread located at 1028 E
3rd St would be severely,impacted by the damage that would inevitably occur if construction of a
sidewalk in the area were to move forward.
The extent of the damage that would occur to the tree root system would inevitably lead to a rapid state of
decline or even complete,whole failure of the tree.
The additional work that would be associated with removing the tree,combined with the impact the loss
of canopy would have on the property and the character of the neighborhood,would drastically increase
the cost of the sidewalk installation,and make the project impractical,and unreasonable.
Therefore,it is my professional recommendation that in the interest of preserving this tree,and all of the
benefits it provides to the adjacent property and the surrounding neighborhood,no such construction
should occur.
We ask that ACHD waive the requirement to construct sidewalk in this section of the Right of Way at this
address.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concems regarding this subject.
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Matthew Perkins
