Re: Kennydale Project – Estimate of Timber Volume to be Removed
Dear Mr. Bessette,
I have reviewed the final site plan and the trees to be removed for the Kennydale project in
Renton. The purpose of this review was to determine if the timber volume to be removed
exceeds 5,000 board feet which would trigger the need for a forest practices permit.
Many of the trees are ornamental species and are not commercial timber species. See the tree
list on the following page. The 5,000 board foot threshold applies only to commercial tree
species.
The amount of merchantable timber volume to be removed from the property is estimated at
2,330 board feet, which is well below the threshold. Therefore, a forest practices permit should
not be required.
Please call if you have any questions or need further assistance on this project.
Sincerely,
Bob Layton
