Re: Trees @ Rear Yard (14797 & 14799 Upper 56th St. N.)
Dear Ms. Nelson:
You have been in communication with Arborist Lisa Danielson and myself as to the trees at your
rear yard, located within the Valley View West neighborhood. Recently you expressed concern
about two trees in particular. On June 14, 2017 Arborist Danielson and I paid a site visit to the
property to view the trees. Unfortunately, you were not home at the time of our visit; however,
we were joined by Property Manager, Jeff Skogen of Kingwood Management and Pat Mack of
14797 Upper 56th St., who were able to assist us with concern of the HOA. Ms. Mack was also
able to point out the specific trees you were concerned with.
Enclosed is a photo of the two trees that appear to be the primary concern. The tree noted as
"VVW" is the taller tree upon your yard, which I understand you are concerned about potentially
falling upon your property.
Consensus was that while the tree is not in optimal condition the structure of the tree was found
to be sound and that it should be monitored. Mr. Skogen indicated that if you opted to have it
removed that it would not be an issue. If you do opt to have this removed, you should discuss
this with your HOA board and/or property manager prior to doing so. I believe the expense of
remove would be yours.
The second tree noted as "14822 56th", along the fence line, appears to belong to your rear yard
neighbor at the address noted. She has been notified that the tree appears to be dead, that it may
be potentially diseased, and has been recommended to have it removed.
We do appreciate your concerns regarding trees falling and will continue to do what we can to
help.
Sincerely,
PLANNING & CODE ENFORCEMENT
