Home My WebLink AboutRE Specimen Tree at 139 oak Ln (4)Todd: You are much more of an expert on the tree ordinance than PWS – we’ll defer to you about any penalty provisions. Let us know if you need anything else. Thanks, Jeff From: Todd Morley Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 3:00 PM To: Jeff Ratliff Cc: Kay McKee; Tim Davis Subject: RE: Specimen Tree at 139 oak Ln All, It sounds to me that we need to apply the penalty provisions of the tree code for many reasons. Rather than ask for City Council approval to remove a normal, healthy tree. Agreed? Todd Todd Morley, Director Community & Economic Development Dept. City of Cape Canaveral 110 Polk Ave. P.O.

The construction company at the property had to cut a notch in the trunk of the oak tree to finish the construction of the house. The question is - will these activities kill the oak tree? The notch alone will not kill the tree, but the construction company also cut more than 1/3 of the canopy. Fill dirt was also placed around the house foundation and the base of the tree. The combination of all of these items will affect the overall life span of the tree. Also: 1). Cutting more than 1/3 of the canopy of an oak tree at one time is not good practice. 2). Changing the original grade more than six inches around the base of a tree can affect its health – the construction company raised the grade approximately 24 inches. All of these items may not kill the tree, but will most likely affect the life span of the oak tree.

I don’t think the notch or the trimming they have done will kill the tree and have not seen any die back in the canopy. The tree is so close to the house it could cause problems to the roof or foundation in the future. If you need any more information, please call me(321-863-7341).
