OWNER: Marcel Scheel, Board President of Allura at Tiffany Park HOA
3452 SE 18th St, Renton, WA 98058
PROJECT LOCATION: Open Space/Tree Proctection Parcel southeast of 3542 SE 18th St (APN
018880TR-H)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant, Jessy Jacquinot, an ISA Certified Arborist for A Plus Tree, LLC, is
requesting a Routine Vegetation Management Permit (RVMP) to remove or snag
one (1) tree located in the native growth protection area (NGPA) tract managed
by the Allura at Tiffany Park Homeowners Association (HOA) (APN 018880TR-H).
The 0.30-acre tract is situated within the Residential-8 (R-8) and Residential-6 (R-
6) zones and within the Benson Community Planning Area. Per City of Renton
(COR) Maps, the only critical areas on-site are moderate slopes (>15% to
<=25%).
According to the Arborist Report, prepared by A Plus Tree, LLC, dated November
18, 2025 (Attachment A), one (1) Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) tree is
proposed for removal or snagging as it poses a moderate risk of failure and
damage. The tree is considered a “landmark tree” as it has a diameter at breast
height (DBH) of 33 inches (33”). The tree is also equivalent to 12 tree credits. In
2024, branches falling from the subject tree caused damage to an adjacent
property’s roof prompting the HOA to seek out a tree assessment. According to
the submitted ISA Tree Risk Assessment form for the subject tree (Attachment B),
the arborist has classified the overall risk of the 110-foot (110’) tall tree as

ROUTINE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT REVIEW CRITERIA 4-9-195D.4:
YES 1. The lot shall comply with minimum tree credit requirements pursuant to RMC 4-4-130,
Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations.
Staff Comments: In accordance with RMC 4-4-130H, compliance with tree credit
requirements necessitates a minimum of 30 tree credits per net acre. The subject
property is an open space/tree protection tract (Tract H) created with the development
of Allura at Tiffany Park recorded on February 22, 2019. According to the recorded plat
notes, all vegetation must remain undisturbed unless the express written authorization
of the City has been received (Attachment D).
The applicant is proposing to remove one (1) tree, leaving 13 trees to remain. Removal of
the landmark tree is equivalent to 12 tree credits. The remaining trees within the tract
equal 75 credits, as calculated by the applicant (Attachment C). To mitigate the loss of
the subject tree (a Priority One tree), all disturbed areas shall be restored, and one (1)
five-gallon Douglas Fir tree shall be planted within 60 days following the completion of
tree snagging activities. Once the replacement trees have been installed on-site, the
applicant shall notify the Current Planning Project Manager to complete a final
landscape inspection.
YES 2. The land clearing and tree removal shall be consistent with restrictions for critical areas,
pursuant to RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations, and RMC 4-3-
050, Critical Areas Regulations.
Staff Comments: Per City of Renton (COR) Maps, the only critical areas on-site are
regulated slopes (>15% to <=25%). The subject tree proposed for removal does not
appear to be located within the regulated slope area.
YES, IF
CONDITIONS
ARE MET
3. Removal of a landmark tree shall meet the review criteria for removal of a landmark tree,
pursuant to RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations.
Staff Comments: Because the subject tree has a DBH in excess of 24 inches (24”), it is
classified as a “landmark tree,” and is subject to the criteria for removal of a landmark
tree located in RMC 4-4-130F.2.c. Removal of a landmark tree may be granted in
instances where the tree is causing obvious physical damage to buildings (such as the
adjacent dwelling’s roof) and no reasonable alternatives to tree removal exist.
While the tree is evidently causing damage to the adjacent dwelling per the applicant’s
arborist report (Attachment A), the report leaves open the suggestion that snagging the
tree, instead of removal, would be a reasonable alternative to mitigate the moderate risk
of branch failure in the next two (2) years. Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of
approval, that the applicant use Best Management Practices for tree snagging in the open
space/tree protection tract (Tract H). The landmark tree shall be reduced to a minimum
10-foot (10’) tall wildlife snag. In addition, the applicant shall keep heavy equipment and
vehicles out of the open space/tree protection tract to the maximum extent possible.
N/A 4. Street frontage and parking lot trees and landscaping shall be preserved, unless
otherwise approved by the Administrator.
moderate risk, due to branch failure and the likelihood of impact to the adjacent
property’s roof in the next two (2) years.
CRITITCAL AREAS: Regulated Slopes (>15% to <=25%)

Routine Vegetation Management Permit
LUA25-000432, RVMP
Permit Date: December 22, 2025 Page 3 of 4
Staff Comments: Not applicable. The subject tree is not a street frontage tree nor a
parking lot tree. Neither street frontage nor parking landscape is proposed to be removed.
YES, IF
CONDITIONS
ARE MET
5. The land clearing and tree removal shall not remove any landscaping or protected trees
required as part of a land development permit.
Staff Comments: The proposed tree removal would remove one (1) protected tree that
was retained in an open space/tree protection tract created as part of a land
development permit. All vegetation must remain undisturbed within Tract H unless the
express written authorization of the City has been received (Attachment D). See the
recommended condition of approval above which requires the applicant to use Best
Management Practices for tree snagging in the open space/tree protection tract.
YES 6. The land clearing and tree removal shall maintain visual screening and buffering between
land uses of differing intensity, consistent with applicable landscaping and setback
provisions.
Staff Comments: The tree proposed for removal is located along the rear property line
of the subject property. The subject property is an open space/tree protection tract that
was created as part of the development of a single-family residential subdivision, Allura
at Tiffany Park (Attachment D). The adjacent parcel to the rear (northeast) of the subject
property contains underground water utilities owned by the City of Seattle. Above ground,
this property mostly appears as open space with mostly low-lying vegetation, a path, and
trees located on the periphery. Many single-family properties also border along this utility
parcel and have ample vegetation and/or fencing to visually buffer between their rear
yards and the above-ground open space of the utility parcel. The subject property,
adjacent single-family properties, and the utility parcel are within the Residential-8 (R-8)
and Residential-6 (R-6) zones. Both are low-to-medium density zones with similar
development standards.
Therefore, due to the similarities in zoning and land uses on the subject parcel and
surrounding properties, the tree removal is not anticipated to impact visual screening
between uses of differing intensity and is consistent with applicable landscaping and
setback provisions.
YES 7. The land clearing and tree removal shall not create or contribute to a hazardous
condition, such as increased potential for blowdown, pest infestation, disease, or other
problems that may result from selectively removing trees and other vegetation from a lot.
Staff Comments: The provided documentation did not indicate that the removal of the
subject tree would create or contribute to a hazardous condition.
N/A 8. The land clearing and tree removal shall be consistent with the requirements of the
Shoreline Master Program, pursuant to RMC 4-3-090F.1, Vegetation Conservation, and
RMC 4-4-130, Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations.
Staff Comments: Not applicable. The property is not located within shoreline
jurisdiction.

Arborist Report for Allura at Tiffany Park
3309 SE 18th St
Renton, WA 98058
Prepared on November 18th, 2025
Prepared by:
Jessy Jacquinot
ISA Certified Arborist #WE-13500A

Background Information:
This report was prepared on behalf of Allura at Tiffany Park concerning one (1) Douglas fir
located near 3542 SE 18th St.
The report is being written as the tree has been recommended for removal to reduce risk, and a
permit is required as the tree is located in a critical area.
The tree was assessed on February 2nd, 2025 by Daniel Potts, ISA Certified Arborist #11534A.
Assignment (and any limiting factors):
The assignment is to perform a visual assessment regarding health condition, structural
integrity, threat of pest or disease, and potential hazards. The visual inspection was from
ground grade only.
The assignment is to assess and provide recommendations for future action.
Observations:
At the time of the assessment, the following was observed (please refer to photos in
Attachment A and locations in Attachment B):
• Douglas fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii
• 33.2” DBH
• Approximately 110 ft tall, 40 ft crown diameter

• Poor taper
• Overextended branches
• LCR is about 55-60%
• Failure of a branch within three years is probable, likelihood of impact is high, damage
would be minor. Moderate risk tree.
Testing & Analysis:
There were no soil, tree, or other physical testing.
Discussion & Recommendation:
The Douglas fir located in the green belt area near 3542 SE 18th St is in poor health with poor
taper, overextended branches, and a LCR of 55-60%. At the time of assessment, the foliage was
sparse, but there was some new growth present. There was a fence built very close to the
trunk, which likely caused some root damage that may be contributing to poor health in the
canopy. This was a retained tree, so the entire development of the community may have
impacted the root system as well.
The resident of the nearby house reported that branches have fallen onto the house twice in
the past two years and damaged the roof last time they fell in winter of 2024. We are qualifying
roof damage as minor damage, making the risk of this tree moderate, although branch failure in
the next two years is probably with a high likelihood of impact.
Although the risk rating of the tree is moderate, the resident has requested removal for their
peace of mind. Removal is a reasonable option and would not be detrimental to the greenbelt
area. Logs would be left in the greenbelt to serve as habitat. If removal is not approved by the
city, snagging would be another option to mitigate risk. If neither of these are approved,
monitoring of the tree is recommended to determine if the risk rating increases in the future.
Pictures of the tree proposed for removal are in Attachment A and the location is in Attachment
B.

Arborist Disclaimer
Arborists cannot detect every condition that could possibly lead to the structural failure of a tree. Trees
are living organisms that may fail in ways we do not fully understand. Conditions are often hidden within
trees and below ground. Arborists cannot guarantee that a tree will be healthy or safe, or fail for that
matter, under all circumstances, or for a given period of time. Likewise, remedial treatments, like any
medicine, cannot be guaranteed.
Treatments, pruning and removal of trees may involve considerations beyond the scope of the arborist’s
services such as property boundaries, property ownership, sight lines, disputes between neighbors,
landlord-tenant matters, etc. Arborists cannot take such issues into account unless complete and
accurate information is given to the arborist. The person hiring the arborist accepts full responsibility for
authorizing the recommended treatment or remedial measures.
Trees can be managed, but they cannot be controlled. To live near a tree is to accept some degree of
risk. The only way to eliminate all risks is to eliminate all trees.
This consultant does not verify the safety or health of any tree for any period of time. Construction
activities are hazardous to trees and cause many short and long-term injuries, which can cause trees to
die or topple.
Even when every tree is inspected, inspection involves sampling; therefore, some areas of decay or
weakness may be missed. Weather, winds and the magnitude and direction of storms are not
predictable, and some failures may still occur despite the best application of high professional
standards.
I hereby declare that the above observations, discussion, and recommendations are true to the best of
my knowledge, belief, and professional opinion. In addition, A Plus Tree is held harmless of any of these
opinions from future tree failures.
