Brian,
The City Arborist was able to complete a site visit and provide a brief response to your tree removal inquiry. Here was
his response: We inspected the street tree in the photos you sent. It is a 37 inch diameter deodor cedar in fair condition.
We do not feel that its condition constitutes an emergency response to remove. The tree appears to be heaving the
sidewalk. We prefer the tree be replaced if it will be removed, with a more appropriate street tree depending upon
proposed site conditions.
Him and I also spoke about tree removal request again today. We've concluded that we will leave it up to the
homeowner to decide if they want the landmark tree to be replaced. If so, the tree should be from our approved street
tree list and located in the front yard away from underground utilities.
Let me know when you're ready to submit the Routine Vegetation Management Permit application and I will complete
the waiver form.
Thanks,
Clark H. Close

Hi Clark,
I just wanted to follow up on our conversation from earlier regarding our request for tree removal.
The tree is located at 11818 SE 165th St, Renton. I attached some photos I took this morning so your arborist will know
which tree we're talking about.
Thanks for all your help in expediting the permit process, we greatly appreciate it.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
