Box 709 Harrisburg, PA 17108-0709 Re: Kelly v, Frey Dear Mr. Miller: I have reviewed the report from Frey's expert, Jerry Shaffer. Though there are several points on which I completely agree with Mr. Shaffer, there are some very Significant differences In our Interpretation of the hard data we both have. I am In agreement that this tree was In decline, and certainly not a prime specimen. The decline can be easily seen In the photographs of the tree prior to as well as after the accident. Though Mr, Shaffer Is correct In his remark that a tree may be look perfectly sound on the outside but be "completely rotted to the gro'md", It does not appear that this was the case here. There Is significant uncorrupted wood In photographs provided by both the plaintiff and the defendant. Had the tree been rotted to the core, It Is unlikely that It would have survived the felling Intact. Further, published research by Bartlett Tree Experts suggests that up to one third of the tree can be decayed without the tree posing a hazard. I believe that this tree was well under that threshold. As to the Issue of the roots, there Is clear evidence of healthy lateral and feeder roots In your photograph F. Photograph G shows an area where roots have rotted and to which Mr. Shaffer refers, Though not Insignificant, In relation to the viable roots, this area Is also below threshold levels for hazard trees, ,~ I I I I ! I I J ./ . J I I I , i 'I ' ' , I .I , I , Thomas Miller October 26, 1998 Page 2 The size of the root pan separated from the ground has more to with the velocity of the Impact causing the felling, soli moisture at the tIme, and mechanical restrictions I,e" curb and sidewalk. Even the root pan of trees unrestricted by these mechanical devices seem surprisingly small to the lay person. You might recall walking In the woods and seeing a tree of enormous size on the ground with a relatively small root pan, Small lateral roots break away from the buttress roots and confine the pan to the Immediate area around the base of any tree, Nevertheless, the condition of the tree at the time of the accident Is Incidental. Mr, Schaffer Is also correct In his assert/on that the Borough of Mechanlcsburg has a tree ordinance which Instructs us: # 110, Clearance ofTrees over Str~ets and SldeWall<~ Idmmlno Near Stree~ b1QlJt~ The Owner of the property shall trim branches from any shade trees overhanging the streets and highways of the Borough 50 that they wIll not obstruct the light from any street light, and 50 that they shall be a clear height of fourteen (14) feet above the surface of the street and eight (8) feet Over the sidewalk. If any property owner shall neglect or refuse to trim any shade tree as required by thIs section, upon notice In writing by the CommisSion, within the time limits specified In such notice, the Commission may cause such trimming to be done at the expense of the owner, As to the assertion that the tree was In the truck's way, r strongly disagree with Mr, Shaffer's Interpretation, We have photographic and anecdotal evidence that Ms. Kelly was In complete compliance with the borough ordinance, In Photographs A and B, there are aged scars left from removal of lateral branches which had grown Into the right of way. These well healed scars are easily visible on photographs A and B and can be Seen on the trunk In photograph C, , Photograph C provides us with a Indirect measurement of the distance from grade (top of root pan) to the scar of the removed branch ("'11') and " \ i I , I 'i I ! Thomas Miller October 26, 1998 Page 2 to the base of the first remaining branch (15'+). The distance between each upright fence support Is precisely 7'. Add to this the distance or the curb reveal, This photographic record of distances provides conclusive evidence that remaining branches on the trees were out.slde the right of way. In addition, I have redrawn, juxtaposed to Mr, Schaffel's drawing, a projected outline of the tree which Is technically accurate and roughly to scale using projections from the photographs, As you will see, there Is no branch In the right of way, Anecdotally, Tom Gable, who Is the Chair of the Mechanlcsburg Street Tree Commission communicated to me that he was familiar with this specific tree prior to the accident and that It was not a hazard, It appears from the damage on the trunk of the tree that the Impact was caused not by a muffler pipe or wind deflector, which would have been too high, and energy absorbing, respectively, but by a resistant force; the trailer of the truck Is suspect. Though the Frey expert states In his report that the trailer hit the tree, photographs of the trailer damage were not provided. The only photographs I received for review were those of the residual damage to the cab, The $2,000 cost to plant a large replacement tree In place of the one destroyed Is reasonable. It Is certainly not typically done, and should be performed by an seasoned contractor who has had experience with such delicate circumstances of mechanical barriers, "ball shaving" and root prunIng. Thank you for your Invitation to partIcipate In this case, I hope that my contribution will enable the parties to reach an equitable settlement.
