When the applicant discusses Tree Preservation, they discuss unhealthy <br />trees and "critical root" zones in support of their argument. However, I see no reference to a "certified arborist" or a forester <br />in reference to their technical details. They do not define unhealthy in any quantV4able or scientific way and offer no <br />expertise. Chapter 9 of the Eugene code clearly outlines the necessity of the expertise of a "certified aborist" and to <br />substantiate claims.
