Draft Memorandum: Irregular Symmetry Audit

Mandate: Aesthetic Oversight & Censorship

Draft Date: 18 March 2025

Summary

This draft memorandum outlines procedures for auditing vegetative specimens exhibiting irregular or asymmetrical growth forms that contravene BoBC-approved aesthetic configurations. The aim is to standardise measurement, evaluation, and follow-up recommendations regarding symmetry deviations in urban flora.

Audit Initiation Criteria

• Specimen deviates more than 15% from bilateral or radial symmetry.
• Asymmetry is visible from standard pedestrian perspective (1.5m height).
• Environmental damage not sufficient to justify irregular form.

Audit Protocol

• Three-angle visual documentation must be obtained and archived.
• All assessments to be carried out under neutral lighting conditions.
• Measurements must follow BoBC-AEM (Aesthetic Evaluation Matrix).

Immediate Actions

• Attach Provisional Aesthetic Citation with photographic evidence.
• Root-oriented advisory affixed stating correction is mandatory within one growth cycle.
• Secondary inspection to be scheduled within 28 days.
