The Master Application states that the location of the project is on 1901 Oakesdale Ave. 5W, but additional evidence and maps indicate that the location of the project is actually 1301 5W 16th 5t. The applicant will immediately replant with three different types of trees for a total of 53 trees. According to the updated Project Narrative, these trees include 14-foot tall, 5-inch caliper Kwanzan cherry trees, 14-foot tall, 5-inch caliper Worplesdon sweet gum trees, and 14-foot tall, 5-inch caliper Fraxinus Americana trees. The applicant also proposes a more narrow drip line, and to amend surrounding soil for health in a larger, square mulch pattern of roughly 8-foot x 8-foot around the trees. Although the applicant is proposing to reduce the number of trees by 16, the proposal still complies with parking lot landscaping and zoning regulations, which specify that there must be one tree for every six parking spaces within a lot interior.

Will the land clearing and tree removal be conducted to maintain or provide visual screening and buffering between land uses of differing intensity and consistent with applicable landscaping and setback provisions ofthe Renton Municipal Code? d. Can the land clearing and tree removal be conducted in a way so as to expose the smallest practical area of soil to erosion for the least possible time, consistent with an approved build-out schedule and including any necessary erosion control measures? e. Land clearing and tree removal shall be consistent with subsection D2 of this Section, Restrictions for Critical Areas -General, and RMC 4-3- 050 -Critical Areas Regulations. [See Decision Criteria for additional comments.] f. The retained trees will not create or contribute to hazardous conditions as the result of blow-down, insect or pest infestation, disease, or other problems that may be created as a result of selectively removing trees and other vegetation from the lot(s). [See Decision Criteria for additional comments.] g. Will the land clearing and tree removal being conducted maximize the preservation of any tree(s) in good health that is an outstanding specimen because of its size, form, shape, age, color, rarity, or other distinction as a community landmark? DECISION CRITERIA COMMENTS: [the bullet number below corresponds to the Decision Criteria number above] a. While the subject site is located within an identified Seismic Hazard Area, the proposal would not contribute to hazards associated with strong ground motion and soil liquefaction. b. The subject site is located within an identified Flood Hazard Area; however, it is not anticipated that the removal of the subject trees would contribute to flooding (there is no change to compensatory storage, as the current trees will be immediately replaced), erosion, or increased turbidity siltation. c. Not applicable City of Renton Community and Economic Development Department Routine Vegetation Management Permit Boeing 69-53 Tree Replacement LUA13-001403, RVMP DATE OF PERMIT: October 29,2013 Page 3 of6 d. The applicant has proposed to remove the existing trees and immediately replant with the new Kwanzan Cherry, Worplesdon Sweet Gum, and Crimson Spiral Red Oak trees. It is not expected that an area larger than needed for tree removal and replacement would be exposed and subject to erosion. e. The land clearing and tree removal shall be consistent with subsection D2 of this Section, Restrictions for Critical Areas -General, and RMC 4-3-050 -Critical Areas Regulations. There are wetlands to the south of the proposed site, however, they are more than 160 feet away from the project location, and not within the wetland buffers. See seismic and flood hazards above in subsections a. and b. respectively. f. The trees proposed for removal were originally planted as ornamental trees and are not a part of a stand of trees, significantly reducing the risk of blow-down. Furthermore, the proposed Kwanzan Cherry, Worplesdon 5weet Gum, and Crimson Spiral Red Oak trees would add variety to the existing trees on the subject site. The increased variety reduces the risk of insect and pest infestation and disease that could eliminate all the trees at the subject site if a variety of tree types is not provided. g. Not applicable DECISION: The Boeing 69-53 Tree Replacement Routine Vegetation Management Permit is approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall plant a minimum of 53 trees in the parking lot, as stated in the project application, with a minimum caliper of 2-inches. 2. The applicant shall notify the Current Planning project manager following installation of the new trees for a final inspection. Call Senior Planner, Vanessa Dolbee, at (425)430-7314, or CED Intern, Angelea Wickstrom, at (425)430-6598 to make an appointment. 3. The tree wells shall be 8-foot x 8-foot and backfilled/ amended with Cedar Grove organic compost (i-foot depth) and all trees shall be staked upon installation.

RECEIVED cnv 01' RENTON PLf\\'Jf\III\lG D1VIStOi'! DAVEY~. August 14. 2013 Darrel DeNune Boeing Company Re: 25-0 I West Parking Lot Cherry Trees Darrel, P.O. Box 50393 Bellevue, WA 980t5 Ph: (425) 462·8829 F.x:(425)462.8874 As requested I inspected the 69 flowering cherry trees located in all the islands in the west parking lot. All of the trees have moderate to severe crown die-back. Crown die-back this widespread and severe would indicate an inability of the trees to translocate water and nutrients throughout the tree. In this case it is brougbt about by a combination of a compromised viable root system (possibly caused by the poor soil conditions prevalent on this site) and/or, the severity of the sunscald on the trunks and resulting decay present in most of the trees. Unfortunately, the conditions are too advanced in the vast majority of the trees to expect remedial measures to be effective. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the trees be removed and replaced. Please refer to the attached chart for tree counts by and DBH measurements. The Davey Tree Expert Company is pleased to be of assistance with the tree care concerns of the Boeing Company. Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to call my office.
