HomeMy WebLinkAboutC_Public Response from City_Begalka February 15, 2018 Brent Begalka 4919 NE 2nd Street Renton, WA 98059 SUBJECT: Green's Landing Short Plat, LUA18-000024, SHPL-A, MOD Dear Mr. Begalka: Thank you for your comments, I have added you as a party of record for this project, this means that you will received copies of written correspondence from the City to the Applicant regarding the proposal. I have also included your comments in the official file for consideration by the decision maker. In your letter, you cited concerns with regards to tree removal and increased development in the neighborhood. The City of Renton has adopted regulations regarding the density of development and tree retention. The City’s adopted tree retention requirements require the retention and/or replacement of 30 percent of the trees on the project site. As there are many mature evergreen trees occupying the site, special care will be taken during our review to look into the retention of as many trees as are practical. If it is not feasible to retain 30 percent of the existing trees on the site, the applicant will be required to plant replacement trees to mitigate for the impacts of the loss of tree cover. Please contact me at (425) 430-6598 or jding@rentonwa.gov if you have any further questions on this project. Sincerely, Jill Ding Senior Planner
