Home My WebLink About2021 Inventory Cover Letter- West fence line 1 July 8, 2021 Paul Munoz Epcon Communities 500 Stonehenge Parkway Dublin, OH 43017 Re: Epcon Communities- The Courtyards- West tree line- Tree Inventory- Carmel Indiana Methodology There is a fence line on the western border of the Epcon boundary which runs ~ north and south along Keystone Parkway. This fence line consists of naturally growing trees and shrubs which form a very dense buffer ranging from thirty (30) to sixty (60) feet in height. All trees four (4) inches or greater, that are on the Epcon side of the boundary fence or east of the Right-of way (ROW) markers, were inventoried. The inventory was to include species, botanical name, size, condition and observations (if needed). Note: Tree measurements may be +/- an inch for the larger trees, as trees are not perfect circles. Findings The inventory is attached. It includes a total of one hundred and twenty-six (126) trees. There are another fifty (50) trees that are smaller than four (4) in the same area which were not identified but are mentioned as a side note. All of the trees inventoried are east of the fence or ROW markers. The inventory includes nine (9) different species totaling ~ one thousand thirty-three (1033) caliper inches. The additional fifty (50) trees accounted for an additional ~ one hundred and eighty-five (185) caliper inches. General Notes: • The inventoried trees are in average or better condition. • Many of the trees are scrubby species trees but they combine to make a good buffer. • Retention of the tree line also retains a wildlife corridor, as much wildlife activity was observed. • Decayed, dead or pest infested trees (ash) were not counted. • There are another seventy-five (75) to one hundred (100) trees on the West (City side) of the fence, which were not counted but which add to the density. • The understory (shrubbery) of the fence line is primarily honeysuckle (Lonicera var) with some grey dogwood (Cornus racemosa). These plants combine with the trees to make the dense buffer. 2 Google Earth Aerial Photo of Site 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 was conducted to provide information as to species, size and general condition of the trees. It should not be seen as a hazard tree inventory. Further analysis is available should this information be desired. Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with this inventory. Please contact me with any questions about this report.
