To Whom It May Concern: <br /> <br />Two large trees in our back yard have become a danger not just for risk of property damage, but to us, <br />our dogs, and (hopefully) our future children. The locust tree is in terrible shape, with smaller limbs <br />falling regularly, sections with no leaves, large hollow portions, and large portions without bark, <br />indicating its bad health. Its proximity to our house, along with its bad health, have been causes for <br />concern to us since moving in last December. <br /> <br />This summer, there were a few occasions where seemingly healthy limbs from the large walnut tree fell <br />as well. I’ve attached photos of one of these limbs. It fell on a sunny day when I was outside with one of <br />my dogs. If she had been underneath it, she could easily have been seriously injured or killed. My wife or <br />I could have been seriously injured. The branch had healthy leaves at the time (the photo was from a <br />few days later, after we discussed our concern and realized we should document the limb). <br /> <br />That near-miss was the primary reason for our concern for safety for our family, with additional causes <br />for concern being the large limbs overhanging neighboring houses and the walnuts falling. I’ve been hit <br />with more than one walnut, and though it just bruised me, our thoughts go towards what would happen <br />if an infant or toddler were to be hit by one. We love this home and neighborhood and want to feel safe <br />starting and raising a family here. <br /> <br />Though we’ll miss these trees, particularly the walnut tree, it’s simply a matter of safety at this point. <br />We hope to replace these trees in the near future, and though it won’t be the same, we’ll be able to feel <br />safe in our back yard and start the next generation of trees that will be around for decades to come. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Patrick Guibert
