RE: Tree Inventory and Retention Plan - Minter Townhomes, Renton, WA.
Jordan:
This report is provided to address the recent inventory I conducted on the Minter
Townhomes project site in the City of Renton. Please see the accompanying Tree
Inventory Map and Tree Evaluation Data spreadsheet for reference to this report.
1. Site Conditions and Proposed Development
The property is located in Renton on Renton Ave. S. in an area primarily
developed with single family residences. The project site is currently developed
as a nursery with several buildings, greenhouses and a home. The site slopes
downward to the south.
The proposed development of the site is to clear it and develop it with a
townhome complex.
2. Tree Inventory Results
I visited the site recently to conduct an inventory and gather information on all of
the trees during which I labeled them with numbered metal tags which
correspond to the numbers on the inventory map and in the tree evaluation data
spreadsheet.
I conducted visual condition assessments according to the methods and
procedures specified in the ISA Tree Risk Assessment Manual (2013) by viewing
them up close to observe the trunk and root collar and from afar to observe
conditions in the crown. The tree evaluation data spreadsheet provides
information on all of the trees. In total, I conducted evaluations on 57 trees; two
trees shown on the survey (23 and 24) have recently been removed.
The accompanying Tree Evaluation Data spreadsheet provides information on all
of the inventoried trees.
