SUBJECT: PROPERTY AT 2505 LYONS AVENUE NE, RENTON, WA, EXISTING
TREE EVALUATION
I conducted a site visit at the above-referenced site on October 12th and 13th to
evaluate the overall health of each tree per the City of Renton's Municipal Code Section
4-4-130. Following are the existing significant trees found on the site along with their
species, dbh, drip line (radius), overall health. See also Tree Retention Plan Sheet L-1
and L-2.
As discussed with Mike Merritt during a visit prior to October 12th/13th, a portion of the
property will be deeded to City of Renton. As such, not all trees were surveyed though a
visual inventory was made by myself. There would be several dozen additional
significant trees added to the trees to be retained trees quantity.
