Mike, The Town of Addison went to considerable expense and effort to save the trees on the north side of Spring Valley, so you can imagine our disappointment when we noticed that the contractor dug bore pits directly under the Live Oak trees. Although the trees provide shade for the contractors crews, it greatly reduces the probability that the trees will survive the construction taking place on Spring Valley. As such, we would like to meet with AT&T the contractor and an arborist of their choice to discuss a course of corrective action for restoring the trees as best as possible. Additionally, we have advised the contractor to cease and desist from digging any more bore pits under trees. Please reiterate this request on AT&T’s behalf. You may also inform them that if the trees show signs of shock that we will cash their $25k bond and use the money to replace the trees. Thanks, Clay Barnett, P.E.
