Hello Mr. Perez,
This is to update you on our progress to date on our project, and to ask a timing request.
1. The first two photos show our yard before any of the work was started. They are the "before" photos.
2. The second photos show our yard after a) the buried pipeline (from the driveway) was completed, with the
flared -end diffuser exiting in the riprap in the buffer zone (photo "RipRap01"), and b) the continuation of the
riprap along the matching portion of shoreline. (This is the shoreline stabilization portion permitted with Duke —
starting at the right property line and extending approx. 25' to the small pine tree — photo "RipRap02").
3. We have had a surveyor mark the 30' zone so that we can accurately plant the 23 trees into the buffer.
We are now ready to plant the trees.
4. However, due to the delays (multiple rain and waiting for Duke permit approval) in completing the mentioned
pipeline installation and shoreline stabilization projects, our tree procurement time has ended up during the
period when no nurseries are digging trees. The landscaper that we have been working with has been scouring
nurseries and tree farms to come up with 23 trees in the needed size and NC native species.
They have found the soonest availability to be with Fitzgerald Nursery in Morganton, NC. We just learned that
they don't recommend digging until mid -October to ensure that the dug trees will survive. We are getting a
quote from them and can provide you with the dig quote showing the proposed date.
So our request to you is an extension of the deadline for planting the trees, until the end of October, to allow for
the procurement and planting of quality trees.
Please let us know your comments,
Best Regards,
Mike and Cindy Freberg
