INTRODUCTION
You contacted me and contracted my services as a consulting arborist. My assignment is to
inspect trees at the above referenced site. The purpose of this report is to establish the
condition of the significant trees to satisfy City of Renton permit submittal requirements.
I received a topographic survey prepared by Bush, Roed & Hitchings, Inc., dated 7/17/2015. I
visited the site 5/8/2019 and again 5/25/2021 and visually inspected the trees indicated on
the site, which are the subject of this report. These trees represent all regulated trees on the
parcel.
SUMMARY
Significant Trees on Site 55
Landmark Trees on Site 1
Dangerous Trees on Site 6
Total Subject Trees 62
The site is covered mostly in grass and brambles. The subject trees stand mainly at the site
perimeter: along Lake Washington Blvd. N., and abutting the May Creek Park to the south.

Several dead trees were assessed during the initial site inspection, and are excluded from
this report and tree retention calculations.
LIMITATIONS AND USE OF THIS REPORT
This tree report establishes, via the most practical means available, the existing conditions
of the trees on the subject property. Ratings for health and structure, as well as any
recommendations are valid only through the development and construction process. This
report is based solely on what is readily visible and observable, without any invasive means.
There are several conditions that can affect a tree’s condition that may be pre-existing and
unable to be ascertained with a visual-only analysis. No attempt was made to determine the
presence of hidden or concealed conditions which may contribute to the risk or failure
potential of trees on the site. These conditions include root and stem (trunk) rot, internal
cracks, structural defects or construction damage to roots, which may be hidden beneath
the soil. Additionally, construction and post-construction circumstances can cause a
relatively rapid deterioration of a tree’s condition.
IDENTIFICATION SCHEME
Tree numbers shown on the attached Tree Number Exhibit are also used in the attached
Significant Tree Inventory.
SPECIES AND SIZE OF EACH TREE
I measured the trunk diameter (54” from grade) of each tree, and identified each tree by
common name.
REASON(S) FOR ANY TREE REMOVAL
I rated the health, structure and form of each tree (see attached inventory). Trees with
significant visible problems or defects are indicated as Dangerous and are not viable for
retention.
Removal is recommended for 58 trees, either for health/structural reasons, or because of
proposed site improvements.
TREE INSPECTION METHOD – TREE HEALTH, CONDITION AND VIABILITY
I visually inspected each tree from the ground. I performed a Level 1 risk assessment.1 This
is the standard assessment for populations of trees near specified targets, conducted in
order to identify obvious defects or specified conditions such as a pre-development
inventory. This is a limited visual assessment focuses on identifying trees with imminent

and/or probable likelihood of failure, and/or other visible conditions that will affect tree
retention.
I recorded tree species and size (DBH). I estimated the average dripline of each tree. I rated
the condition of each tree, both health and structure. A tree’s structure is distinct from its
health. This inspection identifies what is visible with both.
High-risk trees can appear healthy in that they can have a dense, green canopy. This may
occur when there is sufficient sapwood or adventitious roots present to maintain tree
health, but inadequate strength for structural support.
Conversely, trees in poor health may or may not be structurally stable. For example, tree
decline due to root disease is likely to cause the tree to be structurally unstable, while
decline due to drought or insect attack may not.
One way that tree health and structure are linked is that healthy trees are more capable of
compensating for structural defects. A healthy tree can develop adaptive growth that adds
strength to parts weakened by decay, cracks, and wounds.
This report identifies unhealthy trees based on existing health conditions and tree structure,
and specifies which trees are most suitable for preservation.2
No invasive procedures were performed on any trees. The results of this inspection are
based on what was visible at the time of the inspection.
The attached inventory summarizes my inspection results and provides the following
information for each tree:
Proposed Action – indicates if tree is to be removed or retained.
Tree Category as defined by municipal code. (TREE: A woody perennial usually
having one dominant trunk, or, for certain species, a multi-stemmed trunk system,
with a potential minimum height of ten feet (10') at maturity.
Dangerous: Any tree that has been certified, in a written report, as dead,
terminally diseased, damaged, or otherwise dangerous to persons or property
by a licensed landscape architect, or certified arborist.
Landmark: A tree with a caliper of thirty inches (30") or greater. (Average
multiple stems and report single integer)

Significant: A tree with a caliper of at least six inches (6"), or an alder or
cottonwood tree with a caliper of at least eight inches (8"). Trees qualified as
dangerous shall not be considered significant. Trees planted within the most
recent ten (10) years shall qualify as significant trees, regardless of the actual
caliper.
Reason for Removal includes dangerous trees (6) or because they conflict with
proposed improvements (52).
Retention Priority indicates priority number based on municipal code.
Tree number as shown on tag in the field, and on attached exhibit.
DBH stem diameter in inches measured 4.5 feet from the ground.
Tree Species Common name.
Dripline Average branch extension from the trunk as radius in feet.
Health and Structure/Form ratings ‘1’ indicates good to excellent condition; no
visible health-related problems or structural defects, ‘2’ indicates fair condition;
minor visible problems or defects that may require attention if the tree is
retained, and ‘3’ indicates poor condition; significant visible problems or defects
and tree removal is recommended.
Comments on Condition obvious structural defects or diseases visible at time of
inspection, which includes:
Asymmetric canopy - the tree has an asymmetric canopy from space and light
competition from adjacent trees.
Bow in trunk - a trunk lean characterized by the top of the tree leaning over.
(Common with edge trees)
Canker - disease cankers are established on trunk/branches.
Dogleg in trunk - trunk with a bow or defective bend (90°) in trunk often half
way of further up the trunk.
Double leader - the tree has multiple stem attachments, which may require
maintenance or monitoring over time.
Included bark - an inclusion of bark at the attachment of multiple leaders that
prevents a wood-to-wood attachment
Lean - angle of the trunk from vertical.
Multiple leaders - the tree has multiple stem attachments, which may lead to
tree failure and require maintenance or monitoring over time.
Previous failure - tree trunk previously broken and defective.
Slender - tree lacks adequate trunk taper to stand lone.
Stem Canker - disease canker on trunk/branches.
Sweep in trunk - characterized by a leaning lower trunk and a more upright
top.

Stumpsprout- tree previously cut at grade with multiple stems and potentially
weak attachments.
Suppressed - tree crowded by larger adjacent trees, with defective structure
and/or low vigor. Retain tree only as a grove tree, not stand-alone.
Sweep - tree leans away from adjacent trees. Characterized by a leaning lower
trunk and a top that is more upright.
Tree leans - trunk has significant lean from vertical.
Viability - a determination by the arborist whether the tree is viable for retention.
Type indicates if tree is Deciduous (D) or Evergreen (E).
LIMITS OF DISTURBANCE
Limits of Disturbance (LOD) are calculated for all the retained significant trees. They are
listed below as radii in feet from the trunk for all sides of the tree. They are determined
using rootplate 3 and trunk diameter,4,5 and ISA Best Management Practices.6
These are the minimum distances from the trees for any soil disturbance, and represent the
area to be protected during construction. These LOD are malleable and may be adjusted
during the design and construction process. The following table lists the limits of
disturbance of each of the 6 retained trees.
Limits of Disturbance in feet as radius from the base of the tree trunk.
Tree Id. DBH Species DL LOD
1829 12” Red alder 15’ 8’
1830 13” Red alder 15’ 7’
1831 10” Red alder 15’ 6’
1837 9” Red alder 16’ 6’
1838 23” Bigleaf maple 35’ 15’
1863 8” Red alder 14’ 6’
IMPACT OF NECESSARY TREE REMOVAL
Removal of the 58 trees shall have no impact on the 6 retained trees. The retained trees
stand at the SE corner of the site and will remain protected by trees within the park
immediately to the south.

TREE RETENTION AND LAND CLEARING REGULATIONS
The following pertains to the protection and preservation of 2 retained trees:
4.4.130 §H.9. Protection Measures During Construction: Protection measures in this
subsection shall apply for all trees that are to be retained. All of the following tree protection
measures shall apply:
a. Construction Storage Prohibited: The applicant may not fill, excavate, stack or store
any equipment, dispose of any materials, supplies or fluids, operate any
equipment, install impervious surfaces, or compact the earth in any way within
the area defined by the drip line of any tree to be retained.
b. Fenced Protection Area Required: Prior to development activities, the applicant
shall erect and maintain six-foot (6') high chain link temporary construction
fencing around the drip lines of all retained trees or at a distance surrounding
the tree equal to one and one-quarter feet (1.25') for every one inch (1") of
trunk caliper, whichever is greater, or along the perimeter of a tree protection
tract. Placards shall be placed on fencing every fifty feet (50') indicating the
words, “NO TRESPASSING – Protected Trees,” or on each side of the fencing if
less than fifty feet (50'). Site access to individually protected trees or groups of
trees shall be fenced and signed. Individual trees shall be fenced on four (4)
sides. In addition, the applicant shall provide supervision whenever equipment
or trucks are moving near trees.
c. Protection from Grade Changes: If the grade level adjoining to a tree to be retained
is to be raised, the applicant shall construct a dry rock wall or rock well around
the tree. The diameter of this wall or well must be equal to the tree’s drip line.
d. Impervious Surfaces Prohibited within the Drip Line: The applicant may not install
impervious surface material within the area defined by the drip line of any tree
to be retained.
e. Restrictions on Grading within the Drip Lines of Retained Trees: The grade level
around any tree to be retained may not be lowered within the greater of the
following areas: (i) the area defined by the drip line of the tree, or (ii) an area
around the tree equal to one and one-half feet (1-1/2') in diameter for each one
inch (1") of tree caliper. A larger tree protection zone based on tree size,
species, soil, or other conditions may be required. (Ord. 5676, 12-3-2012)
f. Mulch Layer Required: All areas within the required fencing shall be covered
completely and evenly with a minimum of three inches (3") of bark mulch prior
to installation of the protective fencing. Exceptions may be approved if the
mulch will adversely affect protected ground cover plants. (Ord. 5676, 12-3-

Attachment No. 1 - Assumptions & Limiting Conditions
1. A field examination of the site was made 5/8/2019 & 5/25/2021. My observations
and conclusions are as of these dates.
2. Care has been taken to obtain all information from reliable sources. All data has
been verified insofar as possible; however, the consultant/arborist can neither
guarantee nor be responsible for the accuracy of information provided by others.
3. I am not a qualified land surveyor. Reasonable care was used to match the trees
indicated on the sheets with those growing in the field.
4. Construction activities can significantly affect the condition of retained trees. All
retained trees should be inspected after construction is completed, and then
inspected regularly as part of routine maintenance.
5. Unless stated other wise: 1) information contained in this report covers only those
trees that were examined and reflects the condition of those trees at the time of
inspection; and 2) the inspection is limited to visual examination of the subject trees
without dissection, excavation, probing, or coring. There is no warranty or
guarantee, expressed or implied that problems or deficiencies of the subject tree
may not arise in the future.
6. All trees possess the risk of failure. Trees can fail at any time, with or without
obvious defects, and with or without applied stress. A complete evaluation of the
potential for this (a) tree to fail requires excavation and examination of the base of
the subject tree. Permission of the current property owner must be obtained before
this work can be undertaken and the hazard evaluation completed.
7. The consultant/appraiser shall not be required to give testimony or to attend court
by reason of this report unless subsequent contractual arrangements are made.
