Good morning Edwin and Kimberly,
Thank you both for your help yesterday. Below is the email that we received from an
Arborist regarding the tree.
Could you please add this to our filing?
Thank you,

Good Morning
After reviewing yesterday it is apparent that the Swamp Maple (Acer rubrum) adjacent
to your home validates your concerns. The root system is somewhat compromised
with obvious decay on the lake side of the tree. More importantly, the tree itself has
very poor structural characteristics. By having a large number of large diameter stems
it is makes more likely to have stem failure due to wind load, snow load, etc. There is
some incorporated bark on a few of these unions with the base. The tree is not a
candidate for cabling due to the volume of stems (in my opinion) and due to the high
target risk of homes, vehicles, and outdoor gathering areas I’d recommend removing
the tree to mitigate any property damage concerns.
Best,
Michael White
