Summary
We performed a tree inventory at the above addressed site in preparation of development planning and
permitting. We inventoried and assessed 39 trees on site and nine offsite trees with canopies that
overhang the site. The site trees all qualify as significant according to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-
11-200. Eight of the offsite trees were in the right-of-way (ROW) and one (A) was on a neighboring
property.
This report is preliminary as we do not currently have any site plans for development.
RMC 4-4-130 requires a permit for new site development and tree removal. Code section 4-4-30-H1a
requires a minimum retention of 30 percent of significant trees on site and 30 tree units per acre. These
units can come from retained trees (fewer trees required) or newly planted trees with a bond for tree
maintenance and survival. Tree units are weighted by diameter at standard height (DSH) and a table is
provided within the RMC. After development, site needs to have a minimum of 109 tree credits;
currently it has 223 tree credits, not including the off-site trees shown on the inventory.
The Bank of America redevelopment plans dated 6/7/2024 show frontage improvements to the east of
the bank along the ROW. These plans shown do not impact any of the trees inventoried.

Assignment and Scope of Work
This report outlines the site inspection by Katherine Taylor and John Wells, of Tree Solutions Inc, on June
11, 2024. We were asked to visit the site and assess all trees on site. We were asked to produce an
Arborist Report documenting our findings and management recommendations. Liz Wilmont,
representative of Kimley-Horn and the property, requested these services to help in the development
planning process.
Observations
Site
The 157,868 square foot U-shaped site fronts 108th Ave SE in Renton and backs up to a parking lot for
Fred Meyer in an adjacent parcel. There are five buildings on this parcel including a strip mall, a car
wash, a gas station, a coffee shop, and one other building. The buildings are surrounded by pavement
with periodic tree wells or divider strips surrounded by curbs. There were parking strips with existing
trees in the ROW on SE 108th Ave and 180th Street SE adjacent to the site.
Trees
The predominant species on site included red maple (Acer rubrum), Austrian black pine (Pinus nigra) and
Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii).
Many of the trees we inventoried had exposed and damaged surface roots likely due to compaction of
the soil and/or inadequate water access (Photo 1). Several trees had trunk girdling by their own roots,
likely due to inattention during or before planting, or lack of understanding of good planting techniques.
Several street trees appeared to have been topped and had unusual branching patterns as a result.
These patterns indicate potential future challenges with pruning and tree health. Overall, most of the
trees were noted as being in good or excellent health overall despite less-than-ideal growing conditions.
Some locations were overrun with invasive ivy (Hedera sp.), a class C invasive species in WA state, as
noted in the inventory. Some management of the ivy growth is recommended to reduce its negative
impact on the health of the trees and other non-invasive plants on this site.
There were some notable Austrian black pine trees growing in a grove tagged 729 to 738 that were in
good health and should be preserved together if possible (Photo 2). There was also a mix of healthy
Douglas-fir and Austrian black pine trees tagged 744 through 754 (Photo 3, Photo 4) growing north and
west of the fast food restaurant on the neighboring property that should also be considered for
retention.
I have included marked-up survey of the site to serve as the site map and attached a table of trees that
has detailed information about each tree.
Discussion—Construction Impacts
Proposed Plans
The Bank of America redevelopment plans dated 6/7/2024 show frontage improvements to the east of
the bank along the ROW. The plans include an improved retaining wall, regrading, and a relocated
sidewalk and planter strip. None of the plans are within the recommended tree protection areas of the
site or offsite trees. Therefore, no tree removals are proposed at this time and the site meets the 30

Tree Solutions Inc., Consulting Arborists Page 3
percent retention requirement of significant trees and exceeds the required 109 tree credits at a rate of
30 credits per acre per RMC 4-4-130.
High visibility fencing should be placed at the curb or edge of rockery to the north of trees 751 to 754
and 21 feet (dripline) east of tree 754 to prevent any encroachment during construction.
Recommendations
• Install high visibility fencing around trees 751 to 754 to protect them from encroachment during
construction.
• All pruning should be conducted by an ISA certified arborist following current and applicable
ANSI A300 standards.1
• Obtain all necessary permits from the city of Renton prior to conducting any site work and tree
management.

Methods
Measuring
I measured the diameter of each tree at 54 inches above grade, diameter at standard height (DSH). If a
tree had multiple stems, I measured each stem individually at standard height and determined a single-
stem equivalent diameter by using the method outlined in the Guide for Plant Appraisal, 10th Edition
Second Printing published by the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers. A tree is regulated based on
this single-stem equivalent diameter value. Because this value is calculated in the office following field
work, some trees in our data set may have diameters smaller than 6 inches. These trees are included in
the tree table for informational purposes only and not factored into tree totals discussed in this report.
Tagging
I tagged each tree with a circular aluminum tag at eye level. I assigned each tree a numerical identifier
on our map and in our tree table, corresponding to this tree tag. I used alphabetical identifiers for trees
off-site.
Evaluating
I evaluated tree health and structure utilizing visual tree assessment (VTA) methods. The basis behind
VTA is the identification of symptoms, which the tree produces in reaction to a weak spot or area of
mechanical stress. A tree reacts to mechanical and physiological stresses by growing more vigorously to
re-enforce weak areas, while depriving less stressed parts. An understanding of the uniform stress
allows the arborist to make informed judgments about the condition of a tree.
Rating
When rating tree health, I took into consideration crown indicators such as foliar density, size, color,
stem and shoot extensions. When rating tree structure, I evaluated the tree for form and structural
defects, including past damage and decay. Tree Solutions has adapted our ratings based on the Purdue
University Extension formula values for health condition (Purdue University Extension bulletin FNR-473-
W - Tree Appraisal). These values are a general representation used to assist arborists in assigning
ratings.
Health
Excellent - Perfect specimen with excellent form and vigor, well-balanced crown. Normal to
exceeding shoot length on new growth. Leaf size and color normal. Trunk is sound and solid. Root
zone undisturbed. No apparent pest problems. Long safe useful life expectancy for the species.
Good - Imperfect canopy density in few parts of the tree, up to 10% of the canopy. Normal to less
than ¾ typical growth rate of shoots and minor deficiency in typical leaf development. Few pest
issues or damage, and if they exist they are controllable or tree is reacting appropriately. Normal
branch and stem development with healthy growth. Safe useful life expectancy typical for the
species.
Fair - Crown decline and dieback up to 30% of the canopy. Leaf color is somewhat
chlorotic/necrotic with smaller leaves and “off” coloration. Shoot extensions indicate some
stunting and stressed growing conditions. Stress cone crop clearly visible. Obvious signs of pest
problems contributing to lesser condition, control might be possible. Some decay areas found in
main stem and branches. Below average safe useful life expectancy
Poor - Lacking full crown, more than 50% decline and dieback, especially affecting larger branches.
Stunting of shoots is obvious with little evidence of growth on smaller stems. Leaf size and color

reveals overall stress in the plant. Insect or disease infestation may be severe and uncontrollable.
Extensive decay or hollows in branches and trunk. Short safe useful life expectancy.
Structure
Excellent - Root plate undisturbed and clear of any obstructions. Trunk flare has normal
development. No visible trunk defects or cavities. Branch spacing/structure and attachments are
free of any defects.
Good - Root plate appears normal, with only minor damage. Possible signs of root dysfunction
around trunk flare. Minor trunk defects from previous injury, with good closure and less than 25%
of bark section missing. Good branch habit; minor dieback with some signs of previous pruning.
Codominant stem formation may be present, requiring minor corrections.
Fair - Root plate reveals previous damage or disturbance. Dysfunctional roots may be visible
around the main stem. Evidence of trunk damage or cavities, with decay or defects present and
less than 30% of bark sections missing on trunk. Co-dominant stems are present. Branching habit
and attachments indicate poor pruning or damage, which requires moderate corrections.
Poor - Root plate disturbance and defects indicate major damage, with girdling roots around the
trunk flare. Trunk reveals more than 50% of bark section missing. Branch structure has poor
attachments, with several structurally important branches dead or broken. Canopy reveals signs of
damage or previous topping or lion-tailing, with major corrective action required.

Tree Protection Specifications
The following is a list of protection measures that must be employed before, during and after
construction to ensure the long-term viability of retained trees.
1. Project Arborist: The project arborists shall at minimum have an International Society of
Arboriculture (ISA) Certification and ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification.
2. Tree Protection Zone (TPZ): The city of Renton requires a tree protection zone (TPZ) consisting of
the dripline. In some cases, the TPZ may extend outside tree protection fencing. Work within the
TPZ must be approved and monitored by the project arborist.
3. Tree Protection Fencing: Tree protection shall consist of 6-foot chain-link fencing installed at the
TPZ as approved by the project arborist. Fence posts shall be anchored into the ground or bolted to
existing hardscape surfaces.
a. Where trees are being retained as a group the fencing shall encompass the entire area
including all landscape beds or lawn areas associated with the grove.
b. Per arborist approval, TPZ fencing may be placed at the edge of existing hardscape
within the TPZ to allow for staging and traffic.
c. Where work is planned within the TPZ, install fencing at edge of TPZ and move to limits
of disturbance at the time that the work within the TPZ is planned to occur. This ensures
that work within the TPZ is completed to specification.
d. Where trees are protected at the edge of the project boundary, construction limits
fencing shall be incorporated as the boundary of tree protection fencing.
4. Access Beyond Tree Protection Fencing: In areas where work such as installation of utilities is
required within the TPZ, a locking gate will be installed in the fencing to facilitate access. The project
manager or project arborist shall be present when tree protection areas are accessed.
5. Tree Protection Signage: Tree protection signage shall be affixed to fencing every 20 feet. Signage
shall be fluorescent, at least 2’ x 2’ in size, with 3” tall text. Signage will note: “Tree Protection Area
– Do Not Enter: Entry into the tree protection area is prohibited unless authorized by the project
manager.” Signage shall include the contact information for the project manager and instructions
for gaining access to the area.
6. Filter / Silt Fencing: Filter / silt fencing within the TPZ of retained trees shall be installed in a manner
that does not sever roots. Install so that filter / silt fencing sits on the ground and is weighed in place
by sandbags or gravel. Do not trench to insert filter / silt fencing into the ground.
7. Monitoring: The project arborist shall monitor all ground disturbance at the edge of or within the
TPZ, including where the TPZ extends beyond the tree protection fencing.
8. Soil Protection: No parking, foot traffic, materials storage, or dumping (including excavated soils)
are allowed within the TPZ. Heavy machinery shall remain outside of the TPZ. Access to the tree
protection area will be granted under the supervision of the project arborist. If project arborist
allows, heavy machinery can enter the area if soils are protected from the load. Acceptable methods
of soil protection include applying 3/4-inch plywood over 4 to 6 inches of wood chip mulch or use of
AlturnaMats® (or equivalent product approved by the project arborist). Retain existing paved
surfaces within or at the edge of the TPZ for as long as possible.
9. Soil Remediation: Soil compacted within the TPZ of retained trees shall be remediated using
pneumatic air excavation according to a specification produced by the project arborist.
10. Canopy Protection: Where fencing is installed at the limits of disturbance within the TPZ, canopy
management (pruning or tying back) shall be conducted to ensure that vehicular traffic does not
damage canopy parts. Exhaust from machinery shall be located five feet outside the dripline of
retained trees. No exhaust shall come in contact with foliage for prolonged periods of time.
Arborist Report
Kimley-Horn: 17803 108th Ave SE 7/12/2024
Tree Solutions Inc., Consulting Arborists Page 12
11. Duff/Mulch: Apply 6 inches of arborist wood chip mulch or hog fuel over bare soil within the TPZ to
prevent compaction and evaporation. TPZ shall be free of invasive weeds to facilitate mulch
application. Keep mulch 1 foot away from the base of trees and 6 inches from retained understory
vegetation. Retain and protect as much of the existing duff and understory vegetation as possible.
12. Excavation: Excavation done at the edge of or within the TPZ shall use alternative methods such as
pneumatic air excavation or hand digging. If heavy machinery is used, use flat front buckets with the
project arborist spotting for roots. When roots are encountered, stop excavation and cleanly sever
roots. The project arborist shall monitor all excavation done within the TPZ.
13. Fill: Limit fill to 1 foot of uncompacted well-draining soil, within the TPZ of retained trees. In areas
where additional fill is required, consult with the project arborist. Fill must be kept at least 1 foot
from the trunks of trees.
14. Root Pruning: Limit root pruning to the extent possible. All roots shall be pruned with a sharp saw
making clean cuts. Do not fracture or break roots with excavation equipment.
15. Root Moisture: Root cuts and exposed roots shall be immediately covered with soil, mulch, or clear
polyethylene sheeting and kept moist. Water to maintain moist condition until the area is back
filled. Do not allow exposed roots to dry out before replacing permanent back fill.
16. Hardscape Removal: Retain hardscape surfaces for as long as practical. Remove hardscape in a
manner that does not require machinery to traverse newly exposed soil within the TPZ. Where
equipment must traverse the newly exposed soil, apply soil protection as described in section 8.
Replace fencing at edge of TPZ if soil exposed by hardscape removal will remain for any period of
time.
17. Tree Removal: All trees to be removed that are located within the TPZ of retained trees shall not be
ripped, pulled, or pushed over. The tree should be cut to the base and the stump either left or
ground out. A flat front bucket can also be used to sever roots around all sides of the stump, or the
roots can be exposed using hydro or air excavation and then cut before removing the stump.
18. Irrigation: Retained trees with soil disturbance within the TPZ will require supplemental water from
June through September. Acceptable methods of irrigation include drip, sprinkler, or watering truck.
Trees shall be watered three times per month during this time.
19. Pruning: Pruning required for construction and safety clearance shall be done with a pruning
specification provided by the project arborist in accordance with American National Standards
Institute ANSI-A300 2017 Standard Practices for Pruning. Pruning shall be conducted or monitored
by an arborist with an ISA Certification.
20. Plan Updates: All plan updates or field modification that result in impacts within the TPZ or change
the retained status of trees shall be reviewed by the senior project manager and project arborist
prior to conducting the work.
21. Materials: Contractor shall have the following materials onsite and available for use during work in
the TPZ:
• Sharp and clean bypass hand pruners
• Sharp and clean bypass loppers
• Sharp hand-held root saw
• Reciprocating saw with new blades
• Shovels
• Trowels
• Clear polyethylene sheeting
• Burlap
• Water

and included all trees 6-inches diameter and
greater. Trees with canopies overhanging
the property line were also assessed. Trees
located with a purple dot are located
approximately and must be surveyed to
determine their exact locations. Tree
driplines and other specifics are listed in the
Table of Trees produced by Tree Solutions
Inc. and should be added to all drawings
and designs relating to tree protection.
