Site: 1
Reason(s) for Tree Removal: Evidence of hairline fractures along the section of foundation directly adjacent to the tree. This is an indication the foundation has been weakened there. Siding on the building has been uplifted by the root crown of the tree. The continued expansion of the tree will probably impact that weakened foundation and undermine its stability. Location is not replantable. Permit 804427
