(CODE24-000623)
Categories:Action Item
Hello, Brianna.
I apologize for the delay in responding.
1. The stump has a diameter of about 32".
2. The tree was on the North side of the house. (See attached map.) There were/are 3 younger
Douglas Fir trees w/in 10'-15' of it.
3. Current trees on the property:
1. Lyland Cypress: 4 large ones (N side), 3 Sm/Med ones
2. Emerald Green - 2
3. Skyscraper Juniper - 1
4. Western Hemlock - 2, front yard, large
5. Dogwood - 1, front yard, medium(?)
6. Japanese Cherry Blossom tree - 1, front yard, medium
7. Maple (Norway?)
1. 1, back yard, very large
2. 1, front yard, small
8. Deodar cedar - 1, back yard, medium(?)
9. Lace-leaf Japanese Maple (red) - 2, front, small
4. I have not been able to obtain a cost estimate of the damage to the neighbor's property. The
property in question is: 3605 SE 18th Ct.
5. We do not have a written assessment. We've used them a few times. They came out, gave us
a verbal assessment, we agreed to a price, and they did the work.

Hi Don,
I have been assigned your tree removal application and there are a few items that need to
be provided before I can finish the review of this application.
Please provide the following information:
1) The tree’s approximate size- We understand that the tree has already been removed.
Can you measure the stump diameter (circumference of the tree divided by 3.14)?
2) Location of the tree on the site. Was the tree located in the front or rear yard, near any
other trees? (it would be best if you can show on a map the exact location)
3) How many other trees are on site? What are the approximate size and species of these
trees?
4) The application states that there was damage done to property. Do you have an
estimated cost of the damage?
5) The application mentions that there was a tree service that came out to perform the
work. Do you have anything in writing from them assessing the tree?
All of these items will be very helpful in reviewing the justification for the tree removal.
Once you have responded to these questions, I can continue with the review of the
application.
Thanks,
