Re: Napleton Auxiliary Lot- Fifty (50) Foot Buffer- Assessment
Methodology for Assessment:
Trees in the fifty (50) foot Tree Preservation Buffer, and in an additional 10 feet area, south of
the buffer, were assessed.
The intent of the assessment was to:
1- Determine how many dead trees were in the fifty-foot (50) buffer.
2- Inventory trees along a ten (10) foot strip, south of the buffer, to determine if there
were any significant trees.
Findings: My findings are attached but in summary are:
1- The fifty-foot (50) buffer includes ten (10) trees that are dead and should be removed.
a. They include:
i. Eight (8) white ash (Fraxinus americana).
ii. Two (2) red elm (Ulmus americana).
Note: This is a preliminary count. I recommend a follow-up assessment after the clearing
limits are staked.
2- The ten-foot (10) area south of the buffer incudes:
a. Eleven trees ranging in size from nine (9) to twenty-two (22) inches. They
include:
i. Four (4) hackberry (Celtis occidentalis).
ii. Three (3) red elm (Ulmus rubra).
iii. Two (2) American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis).
iv. One (1) black walnut (Juglans nigra).
v. One (1) boxelder (Acer negundo).
Note: None of these trees are particularly significant, as they are spindly and typical
woodland trees.
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
assessment was conducted to provide information as to species, size and general condition of
the trees.

This study should not be seen as a hazard tree assessment. Further analysis is available should
this information be desired. It is recommended that further review be performed if any of these
trees are to be retained in the future development.
Thank you for the opportunity to provide you with this assessment. Please contact me with any
questions about this report.
