<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4) OAK WILT - A thorough inspection of the rear portion of your property found no <br />oak wilt present. Removal of the existing oak wilt infection sites within the <br />development will decrease the likely-hood of your trees becoming infected. However, <br />all tree related activity such as; cutting, removal, stump work, and excavation near <br />trees should not be done during the time period from April 1 - July 1. I recommend <br />that any and all tree related workbe done during the natural dormant period of Nov 1- <br />March 31. Many cases exist where substantial oak tree loss was experienced by <br />homeowners and contractors due to the introduction of the oak wilt fungus by tree <br />related activities and new construction. <br /> <br />5) FUTURE LIABILITY - Construction activities which impact your trees, either <br />through rpot damage or the introduction of oak wilt, also increases your future <br />liability. Trees impacted on your property could become a hazard to future property <br />owners across property lines. Your trees could then become a liability to them if <br />setbacks are not adequate or if structures are placed close to your property line <br />(within fifty (50) feet. <br /> <br />6) SUMMARY - I have completed an initial appraisal of the affected trees on your <br />property. The initial valuation is in excess of Nine thousand and nollOO dollars <br />($9,000.00) for the trees located within five (5) feet of the property line. <br /> <br />Kunde Co., Inc. has assisted numerous municipalities and developers in tree protection issues. <br />The procedures recommended above has proven to not only increase the survival of the affected <br />trees, but also decreases the developers liability for future losses, while providing a positive <br />experience for all landowners. <br /> <br />
