Background In-
formation
This report was prepared on behalf of Honey Creek Apartments con-
cerning a tree risk assessment of 1 uprooted red alder tree, from
within the northeast section of greenbelt on site (1332 Duvall Ave NE,
Renton, WA 98059).
The tree included on this report is:
1 uprooted red alder (Alnus rubra.). The tree is resting on the
neighboring property’s roof.
The assessment was regarding the condition of the tree at time of in-
spection. The tree was seen as an imminent hazard and was approved
for immediate mitigation by the City of Renton city planners. This re-
port was created as post-removal information for a tree removal per-
mit.
The tree was assessed with specific focus on the potential risk to the
property, residents, and neighboring property.
The tree on this report was viewed as being high risk, given its up-
rooted condition, nearby targets and occupancy rates, and has been
recommended for removal.
The recommended mitigation is within close proximity to critical tar-
get areas, a town-home and the neighboring community road.

Assignment (and
any limiting fac-
tors)
The assignment was a visual assessment in regard to the immediate
expectations of the tree, structural integrity, and potential hazards.
This visual assessment was performed solely from the ground and
was completed to provide recommendations for mitigation.
Given the City of Renton’s pre-approval for removal, Honey Creek
management acquired arborist services for mitigation of this high risk
tree.
Honey Creek management intends to plant replacement trees
according to the City of Renton’s regulations for tree reten-
tion standards following mitigatory tree care.
No limiting factors were encountered during this assessment.
