The applicant is requesting approval of a Routine Vegetation
Management Permit in order to remove one "landmark" (thirty caliper
inches or greater) giant sequoia on the property located at 170
Whitman Ct NE (See Exhibit 1). The lot is within the Residential-6 (R-6)
Zone and is 8,365 square feet. There is an existing single family home
on the site. The tree is located on the southwest corner of the lot. A
stream and wetland is located off-site to the northeast of the property.
The applicant submitted a wetland and stream study completed by ARJ
Environmental Consulting Services, dated December 9, 2016, that
confirms that the tree proposed for removal is located outside of the
critical area buffers.
Pursuant to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) 4-11-200 'Definition of Tree'
a tree 30 caliper inches or greater is considered a 'Landmark Tree'. A
Landmark Tree requires RVMP approval per RMC 4-4-130F.2.d 'Remova
of Landmark Tree.' Per RMC 4-4-130F.2.d, removal of a landmark tree
may be granted for situations where: the tree is determined to be a
dangerous tree; or the tree is causing obvious physical damage to
structures including but not limited to building foundations, driveways
or parking lots, and for which no reasonable alternative to tree removal
exists; or removal of tree(s) to provide solar access to buildings
incorporating active solar devices; or the Administrator determines the
removal is necessary to achieve a specific and articulable purpose or
goal of this Title. The applicant proposes to remove the tree due to
potential hazards the tree may pose to property and life safety.

WAll-000162, RVMP, Whitman Ct Sequoia Tree Re,, ,oval
City arborist, Terry Flatley, inspected the tree and noted that the tree
was planted in an area bounded on the north and south sides with
concrete driveways, and on the west with concrete sidewalk and the
street (Exhibit 2). Mr. Flatley noted that on the north side of the tree,
the trunk is one foot away from the driveway, and the driveway is
heaved by more than six inches with a gap that allows water to
penetrate and undermine the driveway. Mr. Flatley states that the
driveway to the south is still intact, but the soil beneath is washing-out
because of roots uplifting and soil being displaced. Mr. Flatley
concludes that there is little opportunity for this tree to become larger
without causing significant concrete damage to private property and to
the public sidewalk and street. Because of the size of the tree, its
future growth potential, and a medium tolerance to construction
damage (root cutting), Terry Flatley recommends removal of the tree.
Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant either
replace the tree with a minimum of two (2-inch caliper) trees within thi
front yard or one (2-inch caliper) tree within the public right-of-way, in
order to maintain the existing tree canopy and comply with landscaping
regulations, per RMC 4-4-070F.3.

RE: Sequoia Removal
EXHIBIT 2
This is a very large giant sequoia that was planted in an area bounded on the north and south sides with concrete
driveways and on the west with concrete sidewalk and the street. The east side of the tree has the most area for root
expansion. On the north side of the tree, the trunk is one foot away from the driveway and the driveway is heaved by
more than six inches with a gap that allows water to penetrate and undermine the driveway. The driveway to the south,
is still intact but the soil beneath is washing-out because of roots uplifting and soil being displaced. There is little
opportunity for this tree to become larger without causing significant concrete damage to private property and to the
public sidewalk and street.
Because of the size of the tree, its future growth potential, and a medium tolerance to construction damage (root
cutting), there doesn't appear to be any good alternatives to retaining this tree and repairing property. The damage
seen will get progressively worse and more expensive if left untreated. It is a safety concern (trip and fall). Cutting roots
to make repairs on such a large tree in the confined space it grows in, sets it up for failure during severe weather events;
I do not recommend root cutting.

Subject: Re: Sequoia Removal
Hi,
I inspected the tree. It is a 54 inch diameter giant sequoia in good to excellent condition. It is lifting up a large driveway
slab by more than 6 inches. It also seems to be starting to undermine the neighbor to the south driveway. Trees that
1
become this large require much more surface area to grow successfully, ,;hich your site lacks. I believe the hardscape
problems will become worse with time.
Because it is a landmark tree, you may be subjected to permitting requirements and other tree removal requirements.
Please contact Angela Weihs to determine your next steps, whom I have copied on this email.

Whitman Tree Removal
170 Whitman Ct NE
Renton, WA 98059
Project Narrative:
The property is located at 170 Whitman Ct NE, Renton, WA 98059, within the legal geographic
description of: Section NW15; Township 23; Range 05 E. This will be a tree removal of a Sequoia
with a trunk in excess of 4ft, whose root system is causing extensive damage to the adjacent
driveway, creating an uplift of the concrete slab that has led to cracking of the driveway.
Additionally, the uplift makes half the driveway unusable by a normal car as the underside will
impact the raised area. As this is a landmark tree, it will require a Routine Vegetation
Management Permit. The property, and its adjacent properties, is zoned R6 and it is a single
family house. The back of the property is adjacent to a wetland and I have enclosed a wetland
and stream study that addresses soil type and conditions of drainage. The tree itself is 102ft
from the wetland.
Access to the property from Union Ave NE is via NE 1st Pl to Whitman Ct NE.
Construction Mitigation Description:
The start date for the project will be as soon as possible and happen in 1 day between 8:00am
and 5:00pm. The hauling/ transportation route will be from Whitman Ct NE, to NE 1'' Pl, to
Union Ave NE (arterial}.

170 Whitman Ct. NE
Renton, WA 98059
Date: December 9, 2016
Subject: Critical Areas Investigation for Parcel # 252550-0460 located at 170 Whitman
Ct. NE, Renton, WA 98059
Authorizing Agency/ Reason for the Investigation
In behalf of Mr. Peter Gillooly, AR! Environmental Consulting Services undertook a critical areas
investigation on the property with parcel number 252550-0460 particularly to determine the presence of
critical areas on the subject property and to use the information for permit application purposes,
particularly for a tree cutting permit.
Site Location/Description
The property is located at 170 Whitman Ct. NE, Renton WA 98059 in King County, Washington (see
Figure 1). The site is located within the legal geographic description of: Section NW15; Township 23;
Range 05 East. The parcel is approximately 8,365 square feet with a single-family residence situated
toward the south of the parcel. Coniferous trees are present along the property line in the backyard of the
subject property. A sequioia tree is present in the southeast corner of the property (see photo #4). The
property is bordered by single-family residences to the east and west, by Whitman Ct. NE to the south and
a vacant parcel to the northeast.
Date of Visit
Site visit and field study was conducted on November 5, 2016 and December 7. 2016.
Methods
The National Wetland Inventory maps. Washington State DNR Forest Practices Application and Review
System (FPARS) maps and Seattle Municipal Code were referenced in this investigation.
Routine Small Area Methodology as described in Part IV; Section D of the Corps of Engineers Wetlands
Delineation Manual (COE. 1987); the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual
(DOE, 1997) and the Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual:
Western Mountains, Valleys, and Coast Region (Version 2.0) were likewise referenced for wetland
determination. The wetland determination was based on the presence of the three criteria for
jurisdictional wetlands: hydric soils, wetland hydrology, and hydrophytic vegetation. All three criteria
must be present in order to classify an area as a wetland. Prior to the field investigation, soil surveys,
wetland maps, and hydrology data were reviewed. The presence or absence of critical areas within a 300
feet radius from the subject property were noted.
ARJ Environmental Consulting Services December 2016
• •
Findings:
Vegetation: The subject property has evergreen trees species along the property lines in the backyard.
The ground is covered with lawn grass of mixed species (see Photo# 3). The vegetation is non-
hydrophytic.
Soils: The soil in the project site is mapped by NRCS as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam. Soil sampling
in the parcel revealed a non-hydric soil. In sample location# l (SL# 1) from Oto 12 inches, the soil is a
dark grayish brown (lOYR 4/2) sandy loam. From 12 to 20 inches, the soil is a dark yellowish brown
(lOYR 4/4) sandy loam. In sample location# 2 (SL #2) the soils is dark grayish brown sandy loam from
0 to 12 inches deep, and a dark yellowish brown, sandy loam soil from 12 inches to 18 inches deep. No
mottles were observed in the soil profiles. The soil in the subject property is upland in both sampling
locations.
Hydrology: There is no wetland hydrology on the subject property.
Conclusions/Recommendations
There is no wetland on the subject property, not all wetland indicators are present. The entire property is
upland (see Photo #3).
There is an off-site stream and associated wetland to the north of the property. The stream and associated
wetland is closest to the northwest corner of the subject property (see photo# I and 2). The source of
hydrology of the stream channel is from seasonal precipitation and run-off water. There is no flowing
water during dry season or dry periods of the year. There is no fish habitat or fish observed along the
stream during the site observation.
The off-site stream to the northwest off the property is connected to the Honey Creek network of streams.
The portion of the stream adjacent to the property is classified as 'Type Ns water". According to the City
of Renton Municipal Code (RMC) Section 4-3-050.G.7 (a).iv. "Type Ns: Waters that do not contain fish
or fish habitat and have intermittent flows. These are seasonal, non-fish habitat streams in \vhich surface
tlo\v is not present for at least some portion of a year of normal rainfall and are not located downstream
from any stream reach that is a Type Np Water. Ns Waters must be physically connected by an above-
ground channel system to Type S, F, or Np Waters"
According to the RMC Section 4-3-050.G.2 (Buffers) "Type Ns waters" shall have a buffer width of 50
feet measured from the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) of the stream, or from the top of the stream
bank if the OHWM cannot be identified.
The off-site wetland located north of the property is rated as a Category IV wetland using the Wetland
Rating Scale for Western Washington (Revised 2008). The wetland is forested with coniferous and
deciduous species of trees with an understory of thickets of Himalayan blackberry, vine maple.
salmonberry (see photo attachment). No actual wetland or stream delineation was conducted for
the off-site critical areas. The wetland/stream boundaries are approximates based on best
judgement criteria.
According to the Renton Municipal Code (RMC) Section 4-3-050.G.2, Category IV wetlands
shall have a buffer width of 40-feet measured from the edge of the wetland boundary for wetland
with habitat scores of 8 -9 points (see attached wetland rating).

ARJ Environmental Consulting Services December 2016
There is no direct impact to the of-site wetland and stream and its buffers due to the proposed
tree removal. The tree is outside the wetland and stream buffers (see Sketch Map). Any
development activity should use best management practices to avoid impacts to the critical areas.
Limitations
Wetland and/or stream determinations and delineations are not final until approved by regulatory
agencies and/or local jurisdictions. ARJ Environmental Consulting Services does not guarantee
acceptance or approval by regulatory agencies, or that any intended use will be achieved.
