Aaron, it was good to speak with you earlier this week. After discussing with staff, it sounds like you have provided a tree
protection tract with the plat layout that retains 30% of what the tree regulations refer to as Priority Two trees on the
site along the northern border of Lot 7. As this grouping is ranked second in priority, we would like you to also attempt
to retain several of the mature Douglas Fir trees within the grove located on Lots 5 and 6, the cedars that continue west
of the tree protection tract along the north side of Lot 10, and look at the trees that may be incorporated into the right
of way planter strip along 152nd Ave SE, however we are not asking for you to place these other areas within tracts
therefore preserving all lots as currently designed. To accomplish this, we would like you to have a root reconnaissance
done prior to grading so that we can understand where the important root structures are located and if it’s possible, and
under the guidance of an arborist, construct the foundations and utilities in and around the trees and their roots. If we
come to find out after a reconnaissance that it would not be feasible for certain trees, then those deemed infeasible
could be removed allowing for construction to continue as planned. Once the root reconnaissance is completed, we can
look at flexible setbacks of the future homes if saving trees would be the result. This condition would be written in a
manner that states we are attempting to save these other trees where possible, but not at the risk of the trees
becoming a future hazard. This option is a compromise to allow retention of Priority Two trees in a tract over the Priority
One trees, preserving all lots on the site. Requiring the Priority One trees to be placed in a tract would result in a loss of
lots which is why the City is willing to compromise with retention of Priority Two trees and an concerted effort to retain
some of the Priority One trees though a root reconnaissance. Please let me know if you have any questions. Chip

Chip,
Thank you again for your time yesterday. we look forward to seeing the updated tree code and how this allows the plat
to move forward without the trees on lots 5 and 6.
