I LOGICAL <br />APPROACH U <br />Logical Approach LLC <br />649 Hoyt Ave W <br />St Paul, MN 55117 <br />651.489.4333 office <br />To: <br />The City of Arden Hills <br />Attention Meagon Beekmon <br />1245 West Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br />Direct: (651) 792-7828 <br />Fax: (651) 634-5137 <br />Re: <br />Wessberg Residence <br />I am writing this response in regards to the Wessberg request for variance and <br />the questions that have arouse about the process of tree preservation for the <br />Oak tree on the south side of the structure and the Spruce tree spading also on <br />the south side of the property. All preservation and spading will be done in <br />accordance with all standards according to the American Nursery Standards and <br />applicable recommendations from Minnesota Department of Transportation. <br />The Oak tree on the South East corner of the residence will have a tree <br />protection fence installed around its drip line prior to the onset of any construction <br />or demolition. The fence will stand until the completion of construction. <br />According to the American Nursery Standards the loss of 1/3 of the outer most <br />roots should not stress the tree to a point of killing the tree. <br />The spruce tree will be transplanted using a spade truck. The tree will originally <br />have a spade run through the soil around the drip line 2 -weeks before actual <br />moving of the tree. This cut allows the tree to get used to having its small outer <br />roots being trimmed and allows the tree to not have as much stress from one <br />movement. After 2 -weeks the tree will be moved, fertilized, and watered. The <br />process of pre -spading before moving reduces the stress and the likely hood of <br />death. <br />Please feel free to call with any questions or concerns. <br />Karl Kangas <br />Owner <br />Kangas Design Company LLC <br />649 Hoyt Avenue West <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55117 <br />651.489.4333 tele. <br />Kang006@netzero.com <br />
