Application to minimally reduce the size of a large oak tree by removing selected branches to allow wind to pass through for safety.

Full Proposal

LARGE OAK TREE ON MY PROPERTY. PERMISSION GRANTED TREE WILL BE REDUCED IN SIZE (MINIMALLY). THE OAK TREE IS LARGE IN SIZE AND IN HIGH WINDS DOES SWAY. I WISH TO REMOVE BRANCHES TO ALLOW WIND TO PASS THROUGH THE TREE. I DO NOT WANT TO REMOVE THE TREE, JUST REMOVE MINIMAL LIMBS AS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE A SATISFACTORY LEVEL OF SAFETY. I ONLY WANT TO ALLOW WIND TO PASS THROUGH THE TREE FOR SAFETY. I INTEND TO CUT CAREFULLY SELECTED LEADER BRANCHES (ONLY TWO OF THEM). A YEAR LATER I WOULD THEN TAKE SMALLER BRANCHES (TWO OR THREE IN THAT YEAR). THE SAME AGAIN A YEAR LATER. JUST ENOUGH AND NO MORE.
