Home My WebLink AboutTree Assessment - South Fence Hoffman Developer LLC. August 7, 2020 Ambleside Point Development C/O Steve Pittman Re: Tree Assessment- Hoffman Farm- Ambleside Point- South Fence Row Methodology: The area assessed was the southern fencerow of the property. All trees over five (5) inches in diameter (at 4.5 feet off the ground) were recorded. The assessment was to identify species, botanical name, size (over 5 inch), condition and observations if needed. Scope of Service The assessment was to provide guidance to the developers to determine what was growing along this fencerow. Findings For the most part the fencerow is a typical regenerating stand of trees, as generally found on an Indiana farm. One exception is that there are twenty (20) Austrian pines (Pinus nigra) that have been planted on the west end. The remainder of the fencerow consists of naturally growing, primarily scrubby species trees. There is a row of trees that have been planted along the lake on the southside of the fence that could be transplanted. There are also some larger native trees, all along the fencerow, that are on the southside of the fence, so they may belong to the adjacent homeowner’s association. I noted where there were significant trees on the south of the fence. In my opinion, the removal of the middle half of this fencerow and redevelopment of a larger lake could make for an aesthetically pleasing view. New trees could be planted around the new lake to offset the loss of trees in the fencerow. With this development strategy the pines on the west and a good section of the tree line on the east could be preserved to retain the screening that they provide. I certify that all the statements of fact in this report are true, complete and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that they are made in good faith. It should be noted that this inventory should not be seen as a hazard tree inventory. Further analysis is available should this information be desired.
