Dear Mr. Begalka:
Thank you for your comments, I have added you as a party of record for this project, this means that you
will received copies of written correspondence from the City to the Applicant regarding the proposal. I
have also included your comments in the official file for consideration by the decision maker.
In your letter, you cited concerns with regards to tree removal and increased development in the
neighborhood. The City of Renton has adopted regulations regarding the density of development and tree
retention. The City’s adopted tree retention requirements require the retention and/or replacement of
30 percent of the trees on the project site. As there are many mature evergreen trees occupying the site,
special care will be taken during our review to look into the retention of as many trees as are practical. If
it is not feasible to retain 30 percent of the existing trees on the site, the applicant will be required to
plant replacement trees to mitigate for the impacts of the loss of tree cover.
Please contact me at (425) 430-6598 or jding@rentonwa.gov if you have any further questions on this
project.
Sincerely,
Jill Ding
Senior Planner
