Mr. Ludwig:
Upon your request, I have developed the following Arborist Report as specified by the City of
Renton submittal requirements as part of the site plan review for 601 Monster Rd SW.

I. Inventory of Trees
Table 1 presents all trees identified during my site visit on January 15, 2018. The majority of the
trees were previously surveyed and identified on the site plan I was provided although several
trees were added and species and diameter corrected. This information has been shared with the
landscape architect and should be updated on the current plans. Each tree has been numbered,
starting at the northern portion of the property. Those marked with an asterisk I believe to be
located off site.

Proposed Tree Removals
A total of 73 trees have been proposed for removal. Trees that are numbered below #70 and are
proposed for removal are in direct conflict with the site redevelopment. Those over #70 and
proposed for removal are located on the slope along the southern perimeter and are in poor
condition. There has been a high amount of failure within this area and many of the trees are not
suitable for long term retention.
Off Site Trees
I do not believe that the proposed project will have any impacts on trees adjacent to the property.
Tree Protection
Tree protection fencing is recommended for the trees to be retained. Fencing should be placed
along the driplines of individual trees or the outer edges of the driplines of groups of trees to be
retained.
