I have reviewed the arborist report by David M. Reich, dated March 19, 2006, that you submitted to the City for review. Page 11 of this report (numbered as page 55 of your submittal) states that the maples that have been topped in the past should be maintained as "a big shrub or short tree" by reducing the "present shoots in size and number." As I stated in our telephone conversation on April 24, 2008, you may trim down the size of the maples on your property so that the maples are maintained as large shrubs or small trees without a permit since this is considered to be maintenance by Mr. Reich. However, cutting the maples down to stumps appears to be inconsistent with Mr. Reich's report and would require a tree cutting permit. If you choose to trim down the size of the maples to large shrubs or small trees, although a permit will not be required, you will need to submit a plan to the City indicating which maples you plan to trim, and Planning Division staff will conduct an inspection to ensure that the maples were not cut down to stumps without a permit. You stated that due to the size of the existing maples, it is impossible to achieve the goal of maintaining the maples as large shrubs or small trees without first cutting the maples down to stumps and then allowing the regrowth to come in; however, this is not explained in the arborist report. You are welcome to submit clarification from Mr. Reich further explaining his recommendations for your property and describing how to go about maintaining the maples as large shrubs or small trees (i.e. how to go from a large tree to a small tree or large shrub). We would be happy to review Mr. Reich's clarification and will make a final determination on whether a permit is required to cut the maples down to stumps following our review of his clarification. Based on current information, however, a permit would be required to cut the maples down to stumps. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can be reached at (425) 771-0220, extension 1224.

Paid advance Balance due $2200 $4000 ' Remit and make payable to: David M. Reich (not City Foresters) Note: DMR and CFI have far exceeded the $6200 cap on this project. We have put together a report and plan to more than satisfy City of Edmonds requirements. for a tree removal and slope restoration permit. We have exceeded the amount of time and effort, originally estimated, to explore and record water and drainage problems way beyond the purview of our primary area of expertise. In short, we have done work normally done by geotechnical personnel. Nevertheless, we will submit our entire package to the city on your behalf as part of the original agreement. We will bill for all future or additional consultation work from this point forward on an hourly basis at our established rates published on the attached Terms of Engagement.

This CFI report and /or planning document alone in no way constitutes a permit of any kind. Once government or public agency authorities have granted permission for the project, this management plan, with any pertinent changes or modifications, shall provide the technical guidelines for execution, and in that respect becomes part of the permit. Unless specifically stated to the contrary, this report/plan is not intended to correct, mitigate or validate any previous or existing violation, willful or otherwise, of any related official policy, code, ordinance, covenant, permit, or other regulation. 2. CFI acknowledges that the client will share this document with the governing agency or authority for the purpose of permit acquisition. CFI hereby advises all parties that this report/management plan enjoys copyright protection, which prohibits any unauthorized use by anyone for any reason whatsoever without prior written consent.

From: David M. Reich Re: Hillside trees and related problems at Lorian Woods Executive Summary: Planned development at Lorian Woods cannot start without permanent drainage repair and resolution of all landslide threat. Drainage installation and slope stabilization in tract "B" cannot proceed while hazard trees still stand, and while mud -flow, huge logs and upturned stump and root masses lie perched across the slope. Ongoing neglect of severe, hazardous conditions in both the old, diseased trees and the unstable slope endangers existing homes below at Lorian Woods and above on Sequoia Ridge. Theiefore, quite apart from planned development at Lorian Woods, the city of Edmonds must allow removal of hazards and correction of all drainage problems without delay. Scope The following report on conditions at Lorian Woods with attached tree removal, replacement and restoration plans constitutes the "project description" as requested in the city of Edmonds "land use" permit application. Please refer to all maps, diagrams, photographs and supporting documents included as appendix items with this report. This report deals primarily with hazard tree removal, existing mud -flow clean-up, surface erosion prevention and tree and understory replacement and site restoration. It consists of a list of observations, followed by discussion on observation points with conclusions and recommendations included in each discussion. ,III ,v» Zj VIKECTUR ST • SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98108 • (206) 767-5165 • FAX: (206) 767-5167 cityfor@aol.com XON1 / AMERICAN SOCIETY of CONSULTING ARBORISTS 11N MEMBER NATIONAL �: AOGAnICT Upon completion of lower slope restoration, substantial bulkhead and terrace 4P construction combined with new drainage installation can start if the owners so desire.

Start with lots 1-3 and proceed to 4 and 5. 1.3. Method 1.3.1. Crane 1.3.1.1. Majority of removals picked off slope with help of 90T-120T mobile crane to reduce impact AMAP •1 1.3.2. Conventional 19 1.3.2.1. Climb, rig and lower all trees over 16" dbh. 1.3.3. Send logs and brush down by tram/zip-line or on designated step -trails 1.3.4. Where possible (safe and secure) store logs, stems, branches on slope for quicker access during ground protection phase. 1.3.5. Controlled felling of trees 15" dbh or less. 1.3.5.1. Secure and store on slope for restoration work or send down to toe for processing/disposal. 1.4. Stumps and future management 1.4.1. All maple stumps will survive to some degree. They will produce water sprouts (epicormic shoots). Thickets of maple shoots require "copse" or "coppice" management —regular cutting —to maintain them either as" bushes," or selective thinning of shoots to allow well spaced new full size tree stems. 1.4.2. Hemlock and large, mature alder will not re -sprout. They will start to die and then rot at unpredictable rates. In the meantime their systems provide some topsoil stabilization. They also serve as structural anchors for erosion prevention measures during slope restoration. •� Restoration plan follows. Part II 1. Restoration Ground protection, erosion prevention, replacement planting. Install silt -fence, straw bales, coir and rock berms as needed or required by city at toe of slope and edge of pavement (0.2-0.2.2.). Erect chain -link security fencing if needed. 1.1. Ground protection (see appendix III): 1.1.1. Access 1.1.1.2. Designate and construct regular access trails for labor and materials. 20 9 1.2.3. Fashion stick and pin steps up and down fall -line for ease of access on ' open slopes. 1.3. Mud -catchment 1.3.1. Arrange and secure larger limb and trunk logs laterally or obliquely across slope emergency mud -catch and control. Add milled timber if needed. 1.3.2. Secure logs with 3/a" re -bar, 1" or 2" d. schedule 40 pipe driven into compacted mineral soil fastened to or drilled into the log material. 2. Plantinst sequence. 2.1. Start at toe and work uphill to top; slice fabric for new plants Plant tallest species at toe and reduce species height as planting progresses uphill (a) Taller species downhill out of uphill neighbors' view (b) Progressively smaller, lighter species with upward planting; trees, shrubs and ground cover can be planted simultaneously 2.2. Secure large species with #4 or #5 rebar stakes and appropriate stem ties to prevent wind -throw 2.3. Mulch, water -ring and re -pin sliced fabric for each plant 3. Replacement and restoration schedule. (see appendix VIII for recommended 07 native and non -native —"specimen" --species "pallet") 3.1. Basic replacement formula: (a) one multi -stem or one 1" caliper single stem for every 6" of removed tree diameter; example-24" d. tree removed requires four new trees. (b) Ten woody shrubs, 50 herbaceous ground cover plants for each tree regardless of size. 3.2. Placement/location 3.2.1. See 2.1. 3.2.2. In each elevation zone plant new trees and smaller vegetation randomly with strategic grouping of same species or species combination in designated areas. 1.4.2.1 Example: in existing shaded areas group and combine fern, rhododendron, Indian plum and vine maple. In sunny areas group and combine hazelnut, Indian plum, ocean -spray and salal. Please note that several species, like Indian plum, do well in shade or sun. 3.2.3. Place shore pine (if new drainage sufficiently dries sections of slope) randomly in sunny areas lower to mid -slope. 22 /0 0! 3.2.4. Restrict Douglas fir, western red cedar and Sitka spruce to lower slope. Sitka spruce will tolerate wet feet. 3.3. Plant 2500 live willow stakes thickly in and alongside water courses and all other soft, muddy areas. Plant another 2500 randomly all over slope. We may determine other species, unlisted here, that tolerate and flourish in saturated conditions 3.3.1. Use two salix species, hookerianna and scoulerianna 3.4. Other recommended small -medium trees, woody shrubs and herbaceous ground cover (see appendix VIII, planting pallet) 3.4.1. Sunny, open, well drained areas -native • Ceonothus • Red twig dogwood • Knick-knick • Red currant • Rhubus • Thimble berry • Salmon berry • Huckleberry • Blueberry 3.4.2. Currant and the berry shrubs, except blueberry, tolerate shade 3.4.3. Non-native sunny: • Cotoneaster • Spindletree (Euonymous) • Juniper (various) 3.4.4. Non-native shady: • Eastern redbud • Skimmia • Mountain laurel • Myrtle --various End removal and restoration plans. 23 0 • 0 Tree # Action Species DBH Height/Spread Comments 1 Redwood 34" 65'-70'/21' Nice 2 Alder 10" 40'/15' Sm.

MAINTENANCE Any restoration plan will fail without a solid maintenance program diligently adhered to. The whole notion of a "low maintenance landscape" has proved as harmful to the credibility of the landscape and nursery industries as it has proved false in the first place. Removal and replacement of an entire forest or remnant forest (as in urban/suburban greenbelts) will certainly require a regimented, high maintenance presence in order to assure a successful project. Partial removal of remnant forest or volunteer stands will require regular maintenance as well, though on a smaller scale. The importance of maintenance does not diminish in any way —no matter the size of the project. Public lands authorities have generally required a three year maintenance program commitment. This project may require more. Basically maintenance consists of three major tasks: 1. Water (a) dry, warm weather irrigation (b) rainy season erosion control 2. Weed control 3. Replacement of dead or diseased stock. 1.(a): Irrigation on a slope restoration project requires care to prevent erosion. We recommend a drip and soaker system operated off of a private water service or, with the city's permission, off of a fire hydrant. Drip and soak uses low volumes at slow rates for periods of time long enough to sufficiently moisten the root zones of each new tree or shrub. The irrigation period generally starts mid -late April and lasts until mid October. It changes intensity during that period based on the weather. 1.(b): The rainy season will require extra care and observation to monitor erosion control installations, any areas susceptible to heavy water'flow and formations vulnerable to over saturation. Maintenance personnel will need to divert and disperse any concentrated water flow and collapse. Certain bully formations may require elimination or regrading behind catchment installations. 2. Weed control requires prevention of aggressive weeds from overwhelming the new stock. Species such as blackberry and ivy have huge, powerful root systems, which will out -match any new plant of any species. The immediate "pit" or planting area must be dug completely free of weeds. During the maintenance periods, weeds must be either cut back or pulled by the roots within the new plant root -zone perimeters. The permitting authority may allow careful, prescribed use of herbicide for weed control. We advise against it unless the authority allows it. If permitted to use, you will have to hire a qualified, licensed applicator. The weed control season runs roughly simultaneously with the irrigation season. ttyforc,trrs.cum 3017 NW ESPLANADE • SEATTLE W.-NSHINGTON 981 17 • (206) 749 5738 F%x 781 9571 cir}fortdaol Qom is\R C1i1C R rrENOQ1WEif RECE R CHAR •• �„ AR T3 Cc4:1oV1n c nc.u�s f D M Rf1< 3. Replacement of dead or diseased stock will require a specific agreement between you, your contractor and possibly the public authority. We recommend a policy of a one-time replacement during the maintenance period of any and all stock which exceeds 15% mortality of any one species. If you plant 1000 ferns and lose 150 over three years you still have 850 flourishing, and no replacements are necessary. You must replace the 151" fern however and every additional dead fern to achieve an 85% survival rate at the maintenance program's conclusion. The 15% guideline is a good and realistic one to follow. It should obtain in any eventuality. Whether or not the plant failure or mortality is attributable to poor stock, poor practices or to events and conditions beyond the contractor's or the community's control, a onetime replacement policy should prevail. The public authority, if involved, may, at its discretion and with compelling evidence, suspend a replacement requirement. 0 01999 David M. Reich and City Foresters, Inc. U" • APPENDIX III Restoration, ground protection and tree planting guidelines 17 29 IV CITY FORESTERS, INC. Appendix III Materials and procedures for immediate coverage of exposed slope soil with subsequent restoration: Clearing and restoration projects for greenbelt remnant forest sites inevitably encounter situations that involve exposure of surface soils to the weather. Before planted, cultivated or even volunteer vegetation can release and establish a suitable cover over the soil, the project will require installation of appropriate materials to protect against erosion. Experience has irrefutably proven natural cloth superior to plastic primarily by absorbing and distributing rainfall rather than "sheeting -off' large, sudden volumes of rain water downhill onto facilities not capable of handling such volumes and rates of flow. Moreover, erosion blanket promotes germination, rooting and release of vegetation through the blanket's mesh. Most sloped areas require the following methods and materials: 1. Erosion cloth "blanket" 1.1 Natural fibers designed to rot away as new plants establish and cover 1.2 Coconut, jute hemp or sisal fiber; coconut and jute often used together in layers to aid in increased germination of wild -flower and grass seed, also to "sandwich" mulch material —wood -chips or straw 2. Secure blanket to soil; critical problem: wet blanket will stretch and pull downhill —possible disruption to stock planted through 2.1 6" or 8" lightweight staples for initial tacking to soil 2.2 #4(1/2" d.) steel re -bar U-shaped "hairpins" 10" 1. to 30" 1.

Remnant Forest, Slopes and Tree Cutting by David M. Reich Native bigleaf maple (Acer macropyllum) dominates the deciduous remnant forests in Puget Sound. It follows willow (Salix scouleriana), cottonwood (Populous trichocarpa) and alder (alnus rubrum) in the natural order. Those three species fall apart and disappear as first maple and then the conifers (cedar, fir, hemlock), overshade and overwhelm. Wherever human development has intervened in the forests' natural order of succession, large coniferous species vanish (for lumber) and the big -leaf maple, by default, stands as the climax species. Alder and cottonwood, normally short-lived species, often manage to grow large along side longer lived maples. Pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii), a broadleaf evergreen, also often manages to take hold, especially on west facing, well -drained slopes. Cottonwood towers over all. Sometimes, the remnant forest will appear mixed equally with alder and maples. Very large alder and cottonwood trees become much more prone to failure sooner as they mature. Indeed, as they mature they start to fall apart unpredictably, often with disastrous consequences. Of the three large deciduous natives, the bigleaf maple lives the longest and usually develops the most pleasing form, even in crowded forest conditions. Once maples have gained dominance in a remnant forest, such as an urban or suburban greenbelt, most other large species have a difficult time reclaiming their place in the succession. They usually don't. So, the urban/suburban remnant forest becomes characterized, in most cases, as over -storied predominately by maple, with relatively few other large species standing here and there. Beneath the maples' canopy a mix of native and non-native smaller trees, woody stemmed shrubs and smaller herbaceous plants constitute the forest's understory. Because the native maple often achieves a classic, desirable shade -tree form, it triggers, when threatened, a protective response in people. Such a reaction often ignores other realities present, which may justify cutting. Conversely, ill-advised alder or cottonwood cutting has sometimes gone unchallenged due to that same ignorance of other extant conditions. Often, well meaning tree conservation ordinances have resulted in catastrophic or near catastrophic retention of very large, very hazardous trees. yforesters.com 3017 NW EmEANAD • SUATILE, WASHINCTON 9R117 • (206) 799-5739 • FAx 78 1-957 1 EMA FACIM "000 MUf CMAFM CHARTER MEMBER cityfor a.;ao).com i\CA ARSORIST co..su. The line that divides maples from alders and cottonwoods also presents the li topping/removal tolerance threshold for most people who understand basic principles of P' P ' forestry and arboriculture. Cutting down alders generally sets off few, if any, alarms. Once maples start to fall, people get upset or at least start to question the rationale and wisdom behind such action. In an ideal world, tree cutting of any kind (removal, coppice, pruning, snag topping) in the city's remnant forest will originate with a well defined objective, an historically grounded, well thought risk management plan and an appropriate restoration or re -development design. View and Maples As mentioned, ill advised tree retention can equal or exceed site damage caused by ill advised tree cutting or removal. Every tree, every strand of trees, requires management action based on very specific environmental conditions. The "environment" for trees includes "time and age". Tree preservation does not end at project completion in the same way that the adjacent new building stands finished with a "certificate of occupancy." Habit, potential growth -space requirements, long range effects of surface and sub -surface changes to root growth, property use ---all of these require consideration prior to the decision for tree retention. Large retained trees not only pose direct hazard by their overhead structural failure. On hillsides, uprooted trees can trigger enormous landslides, often years after project completion. Puget Sound possesses some of the most breathtaking views in the world. The city skyline, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, the Cascades, the Olympics and all the bodies of water conspire to offer irresistible panoramas. The communities of Puget Sound form a metropolis constructed upon multiple hills consisting of complex ravine and fold topography. The "desire for view" in both new, broad tract development and "in -full" housing has driven construction decisions to the point of cheating the engineering process, especially with respect to drainage, vegetation management and erosion. Disastrous landslides have resulted. Owners who could afford to perch their homes on Puget Sound hillsides with nothing in front of their view have paid higher property taxes to reflect view value but have sometimes skimped on proper site development. Theoretically, higher taxes help off -set the higher costs of servicing these properties (especially after landslides) located in more difficult access area —like properties in Seattle on Perkins Lane or above Alki. In many areas, however, property owners pay higher taxes for view value, yet their locations do not require any extra costs to receive vital services from the city, and they often lose their views to tree growth. Almost without exception, developers have had to remove trees in order to build and capture the view offered by location. Unless they remove them entirely, including stumps and roots (which, of course, they cannot do without jeopardizing slope integrity), new deciduous trees will develop from epicormic stump shoots ("water sprouts" or "suckers"). More often that not, as these adventitious shoots develop and put on annual wood growth, original stump wood will decay. As it decays it becomes a target for AMM pathogens (mostly wood -rotting fimgi) which attack it and accelerate decay. Since Wil bigleaf maple stumps can push up epicormic shoots at an average rate of 8'-12' a year (April -September) the property owner has to cut them again very soon to keep that view open. In three to four years maple shoots can reach 40'-50' high with a canopy spread of equal width. - Every time the maples (or alders or cottonwoods) get cut back, their root systems sustain injury by stress. Once they lose their foliage they lose their nourishment —photosynthetic sugars, their ONLY source of energy. To survive they borrow from their stored sugar reserves, which induces stress in the whole system. Once their systems go into stress, (systemic shut down and tissue necrosis) new waves of pathogens (insects, nematodes, fungi) attack and colonize. Along with food shortage the remaining plant systems lose their ability to supply vital growth hormones (called auxins, produced in branch tips) to their roots. Elongation of roots ceases until auxin replenishment. In spite of repeated blows to their systems, the maples of Puget Sound show a remarkable will to live and hold onto the ground upon which they grow. Slides and Erosion The cause of landslides, especially on wooded slopes, remains a hot topic of debate. Experts abound everywhere one looks. In the last ten years two professions have eclipsed all other disciplines in recognizing and addressing potential slide problems on wooded hillsides: geology and arboriculture. Geologists and arborists have both independently and jointly established some basic maxims on the topic: • 1) Saturated topsoil (the over -burden) on steep slopes slides off of heavily compacted hardpan "glacial till"), the next layer beneath. Topsoil consists of organic matter, sand, clay aggregate (rocks and gravel). The glacial till underneath consists of heavily compressed, concrete -like clay aggregate and sometimes sand. 2) Water plays the key role. Dry, firm land, even steeply pitched (beyond 45 degrees) will not slide without some water disturbance above or some loss of structural integrity below. Water lubricates the interface between the overburden and the hard -pan. 3) With or without trees (or other vegetation) sloped land, even below the angle of natural repose, can slide if over -saturated. 4) Large trees pitching and twisting in violent winds on saturated hillsides can sometimes cause severe landslides, especially if their roots have deteriorated. 5) Large, healthy, well rooted trees on hills generally benefit slope stability. Large diseased or dead trees on hills generally threaten slope stability or destroy it. A healthy tree exerts dynamic forces of pressure and friction in and upon both the organic and mineral soil. An unhealthy tree only burdens that soil. 3-0 ,0.*� 6) Wooded and vegetated slopes often survive (remain intact) in spite of over- 4W whereas slopes with little or no substantial vegetation usually slide when over -saturated. Side -by -side slope sites around Puget Sound demonstrate this irrefutably. 7) Large trees which hold their ground on slopes even during extreme wet and windy conditions do so by one of two ways: a) they either penetrate hardpan and grow deeper anchors; or b) they spread thick root systems in a much wider radius laterally through the top soil (often beyond the drip line) and form such broad, strong foundations that they simply resist the "ball and socket" syndrome of other trees that uproot and fail; or they do both. Usually such trees benefit from healthy understory protecting topsoil against erosion. 8) Coniferous species (Douglas fir, true fir, pine and cedar) seem to penetrate and root deeper into the glacial till and hold better than do most deciduous species. 9) Sometimes, unpredictably, maples also penetrate the hardpan underneath topsoil layers by extending new roots into water bearing seams in the till. Maples often spread enormous root systems (as in 7); if they do not, then sometimes they uproot. Root rot disease will lint root growth, weaken root support and often lead to failure. 10) Some species of understory vegetation also penetrate hardpan. Many others spread very thick networks of roots, which hold and stabilize topsoil. 11)Most serious landslides in Puget Sound occur as a result of over -saturated ground. That condition usually results from a disturbance, imbalance, or change to the established and customary drainage patterns at the top of the hill. Such disturbances or changes include: construction, excavation or grading activity; improperly discharged storm or sanitary sewer water; neglected maintenance of existing drainage facilities; or a sudden loss of vegetation and exposure of bare soil to rain fall. Heavy erosion on one part of a slope can cause loss of structural integrity in the soil and trigger failure of bulky formations above. 12) Coppice cutting of large, declining, native deciduous trees on steep slopes with timely well planned restoration sometimes makes the most common sense approach to tree and slope management —especially where large scale, planned development uphill of steep slope trees may cause further decline to trees. Increased stress to existing large trees usually leads to major tree failure, often by uprooting. While this unpredictable phenomenon remains a contentious issue and a difficult question, experience has taught us that both its likelihood and its answer usually reduces to a matter of "when" not of "if." While the prospect of building new homes close by old trees has a certain, often widespread appeal, long range health and safety of trees must figure into overall plans. In steep slope 631 situations the long range health and safety of the hill requires the healthiest and safest of trees standing upon it. 13) In order to protect and preserve large, healthy desirable trees downhill of new development, soils engineers and arborists together must determine critical areas of established water -flow to existing trees and design uphill drainage systems that do not cause major changes to balanced water supply. 11 32 Appendix VI Supporting document(s) m 6 ?ira Plant Lad, Inc. 1744 Manitou Beach Drive NE Bainbridge Island, WA 98.1.10 • Consultants to the Agricultural, Horticultural & Arboricultural Industries Specializing in Plant Disease Diagnosis Phone & Fax: 206-842-1157 e-mail: fungispore @,comcast.net website:www.ribeiroplantlab.com PLANT PATHOLOGY: LABORATORY REPORT Report #: 60190-97 Date: March 13, 2006 Client: City Foresters Attn: Kim Reich 3017 NW Esplanade Street, Seattle, WA 98117 Your Ref.: Lorian Woods Plant spp.: Various Material analyzed: Soil ® Roots M Tissue n Other: Sample # Your Reference Phytophihora Pythium Roots (Propagules per gram soil) 60190 #4 W.

All samples had varying levels of Basidiomycetes (root and wood decay fungi) present in the roots analyzed. (see above table) Rhizomorphs typically associated with the root and wood decay fungus pathogen — Armillaria mere observed in a majority of the roots examined. The presence of this pathogen would indicate that the soil is staying very moist for periods of time. Trees extensively infected with Armillaria and other Basidiomycetes are subject to wind`throw or sudden tree failure. The general rule is that trees in a 50 ft. radius of an infected tree are susceptible to infections. Thus:, removal of all trees in the vicinity of a diseased tree will help prevent spread of the disease. This is not generally feasible in an urban landscape. Since these trees are on a slope, the chances of tree failure are higher than in a sheltered area. Unfortunately, losing a number of trees on this site will probably result in problems with slope stability. It is best to immediately begin mitigating the slope by planting trees that are known to have resistance to Armillaria such as Scots Pine, coast redwood, sweet gum or incense cedar. There is no effective chemical cure in landscape situations to control Basidiomyceles wood decay fungi such as .-Irmillaria and Heterobasidion. Keeping the trees in good health by applications of a well-balanced fertilizer has been reported to prolong the life of affected trees. blennc�r:.lnrrric,ut /'/llto/nr1/t,lu,,iiu/Soc•iery 11licv•lrutior1,1/Soeiety'r/ P11011 /'111111,1o_�r:rts - lnlerruui(ucrl Soc•igv g1'.4rhoric.rrinlre fnwrica)i RailiYrl' of Cc:rllfled t'1'��tt'.c,C1011i7/c 11r ,t�;l'i)1rO1Nv, (re)ps'�So l4 :lro.Plant Lad, Inc.

Surface watering in warm months softens roots and favors fungus infections. Applications of mycorrhizae fungi will help improve root development and increase resistance to root pathogens. A several of the roots examined also showed signs of rroot as vxiation. This is caused when there is a lack of oxygen. Such conditions occur when the soil stays excessively moist for periods of time. Improve drainage - if feasible. Applications of humic acid will help improve soil aeration. Tree #4 — Western Red Cedar was also infected with Phytophthora. Treatments to control Phytophthora are advised. Phytophthora cultural control measures include: 1. Remove all vegetation from around the base of the tree out to at least five feet from the base of the tree trunk. 2. Add aged manure + composted materials to the cleared area and out to the dripline — if feasible. This will improve microbial activity that will be antagonistic to Phytophthora. If partially composted or raw manure is applied, Phytophthora will be increased. 3. Make sure than nitrogen is applied at recommended rates only. Do not over -fertilize with nitrogen fertilizers. 4. Applications of calcium nitrate, elemental sulfur or ammonium sulfate reduce Phytophthora infections. 5. Alfalfa straw, meal or pellets or barley straw reduce Phytophthora and Pythium 6. Regulate the amount and duration of irrigation water very carefully. Phytophthora species generally require free water for a long duration to infect plants. 7. Applications of mycorrhizae will help improve root development and increase resistance to infections by fungus pathogens. *Since area appears to be staying excessively moist for periods of time, make sure any mulch applied is well composted and coarse in grade.

Reich, consulting arborist Hazard evaluation The following Tree Hazard Evaluation(s)--completed on standard THE forms --provide a. rating number in the upper right corner. We arrive at that number by going through the process of data collection and analysis based on what we can measure and detect in the field —the higher the number, the higher the hazard. If necessary, or if requested, we confirm or dismiss issues of undetectable root -rot with additional laboratory analysis. We have not done THE forms for all trees=only those that presently stand large enough and dangerous enough to cause major damage, injury or death. We have also selected certain subjects across the area that help us determine the probable extent of root -disease or external physical damage in the area with reasonable accuracy. Please understand that in order to accurately condemn a large tree as "hazardous," it must stand in poor condition beyond remedial help within striking distance of a valuable, high - use target —no target, no hazard. "High use" targets include homes, infrastructure, busy public gathering places like parks, schools, shopping areas. In certain settings —like a steep forested or partially wooded slope —where large trees may stand well beyond striking range of any but the most infrequent human activity, they would still rate high hazard ratings if their failure caused indirect damage or injury to homes or infrastructure above or below that slope by triggering landslides. In lowland wooded areas along water courses, again well away from human activity, downed trees can effectively dam the water, especially during storm and flood seasons, and cause or significantly increase flood damage in populated areas. Six important factors in a situation like the present one require intense scrutiny and thought with respect to predictable hazard: 1) recent site disturbance 2) live crown -to -stem ratio (the most important), 3) pathogenic activity in the root -zones, 4) planned ground or aerial disturbance nearby, 5) overall physiological health and 6) structural integrity. -Site disturbance —recent or planned —subjects retained trees to new stresses: change in wind exposure; change in water supply or drainage (hydrology) that can lead to colonization of harmful fungi; change in sunlight or shade that can lead to problems in the foliage.

Grading, trenching and other kinds of excavation can directly or indirectly cause irreparable damage —physiological and structural —to the root -systems of desirable trees whether in a planned or new development, in an established community with established trees and landscape or on a single residential lot. The most common construction damage, other than direct injury to trunk and upper crown, is inflicted by careless excavation and grading activity executed with heavy equipment. If the critical root zones (CRZs) of on -site trees are not properly marked and protected, then digging will undoubtedly cause direct and immediate physical damage to roots; grading will cause extremely compacted soil over the root -zone. Compacted soil, if neglected, will eventually cause root decline followed by tree decline and probable death by depriving the roots of oxygen, water and/or proper drainage. Healthy root growth requires adequate oxygen and water in the soil. Too much of either will result in dry, dead roots or saturated, drowned roots. The proper balance of water and oxygen in the root -zone soil depends critically on good DRAINAGE. With few exceptions, most of our desirable forest and landscape trees (native or non- native) cannot long endure "wet feet" —roots in standing water or mud. Ironically root -rot fungi cannot live without oxygen either. Despite that quirk of nature, harmful pathogens find their way to stressed and weakened root fiber and wood tissue (often after the water has drained or evaporated), feed on the dead tissue and colonize weakened living tissue. Sometimes the tree has the capacity to section off the entry site and continue to grow and 4V thrive. Sometimes it cannot hold out the invader and inevitably dies while standing or fails and falls. -Live crown ratio indicates how large a food source the tree has. The tree manufactures its energy by photosynthesis. It grows as much foliage as it needs to survive under a given set of long-term, environmental circumstances; it sets its foliage according to immediate conditions that determine sunlight or shade. Sometimes such conditions cause a tree to establish an asymmetric crown. If conditions change suddenly, then a tree with an unbalanced canopy and a low live -crown ratio will usually not have the capability to stand safely for the long-term because it cannot tolerate added stress to its system, its physical -plant. Trees react to stress by growing more wood to strengthen themselves at their defective points —reaction wood. Production of reaction wood requires consumption of more energy; if the tree has limited foliage capacity, then it has to use stored energy (sugar and starch photosynthates) in order to produce that reaction wood. Once that happens, the tree drops into an energy deficit and becomes highly vulnerable to fatal attacks by outside pathogenic agents: usually root -rot, but often by other airborne (spores, insects or both at once) or water -born pathogens as well. Mature Douglas firs or Western red cedars, for example, with well formed buttress -roots (a strong root -crown) reasonably symmetric, live tops and foliage crowns that adorn at least half the height of the trunk with normal spread, distribution and spacing of and 17 NZ between limbs, usually rate as low hazard. Sometimes a fir can achieve that condition as 49, a forest grown tree. Usually only open -grown firs attain that appearance, and, in fact quite often resemble huge Christmas trees with 75%-95% live crown -to -stem ratios. Sometimes we encounter large trees that look good outwardly but have serious, usually fatal root -rot disease. In those cases we discover that fungal activity has turned most foundation root -wood to pulp with just enough good xylem (wood) in the outer rings to pull water out of the ground and keep the foliage green. Indeed, some or even all of the larger roots may yet have undamaged "channels" or "sheets" of phloem (just beneath the bark) still intact that carry photosynthates to the root tips —but not enough any longer. In other words, the "plumbing" still works but the foundation is gone. The struggling system can no longer create new, strong tissue as fast as pathogens destroy it. Such trees are lethal and the most dangerous of all. Therefore, we do not automatically assign good - condition ratings to trees based solely on a high crown -to -stem ratio. That feature, however, usually directs all other hazard/condition inspection and normally gives a first and obvious clue as to overall tree or forest health. -Any harmful pathogenic agent —usually fungus, nematode or insect —in the close environment will gravitate to the stressed tree, invade and colonize. Most often this phenomenon leads to root -rot or upper -crown desiccation. -Those preceding three factors combined make predictions about tree health and tree safety very difficult in the face of the fourth, namely: planned development or underground utility improvement, especially when that development or improvement will cause significant ground disturbance that, in turn, will directly or indirectly harm root health and structure. No matter how important large trees may seem to a community or a single home, we cannot ever place sentimentality for a tree above long-term safety of that community. - Poor foliage color or twig growth, die -back and decay all indicate stress and poor health. Apart from obvious dead limbs and fading, sparse foliage (symptomatic of health problems to both the trained and untrained eye), a more alarming symptom of root -rot in large trees is loss of significant meristem—or terminal —twig growth. No matter how good the foliage crown appears in color or density, if terminal growth (foliage at limb- and branch -ends) has a very bunched, stunted appearance (with no distinctive leading twig —in most coniferous evergreen species —or with extremely small or nonexistent internodal space between annual buds —in most deciduous, broadleaf tree —then root condition must be considered. Large sections of root -system, in all probability, no longer function properly. Moreover, if limbs have not achieved proportionately thick, strong stem -wood relative to tree size, something is (and was) wrong, probably in the roots. Soil and root tissue samples, tested in a pathologist's lab, should reveal extent and intensity of harmful fungus (or fungi) in the roots and surrounding soil.. If no evidence of recent root destruction or soil compaction exists on a site with declining trees, then root -rot and decay detection must proceed. 18 413 -Decay compromises the tree's structural integrity. Whether visible or concealed, • recognition of decayed wood remains the paramount concern for rating structural safety. Other structural defects that elevate the hazard rating of a large tree include: 1) narrow, weak leader -scaffold (crown section) -limb -branch attachments — most notably characterized by very narrow, V-shaped crotches and a condition called "included bark"; 2) longitudinal splits (in the same direction as the wood grain} —also called stress fractures, cracks or seams; 3) stem height ("the tree trunk") or length (the limbs) that proportionately exceeds necessary girth (thickness of wood); 4) poor taper or lack of taper; 5) flattened or concave trunk surface beneath limb attachments, which often indicate decay; or, 6) conversely, bulging, burl -like formations on the trunk surface often indicate decay and usually occur when the weight of the tree above that decay point simply settles down upon that point and literally squashes or bulges out weakened, decayed wood —also known as "fiber buckling." If no possibility exists for correction of hazard in a subject tree, then we condemn the tree. Low crown -to -stem ratio, severe asymmetry, and weak looking growth in any tree beyond remedial help, would lead any prudent public official, developer or property owner toward a removal and replacement decision for such tree(s). Please keep the facts presented here in mind as you read the following hazard evaluations. * Dr. James Clark and Nelda Matheny, owners of HortScience, inc. in Pleasanton, California, developed the Tree Hazard Evaluation form, that we use, in their widely read and used publication, The Guide to Tree Hazard Evaluation, published by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). 19 NN 2 3 4 6 6 7 8 9 03 21 ! tt 17 15 2 19 !I (t2 08 1 tiµ �� I 13 28 i 14 12 wvnyww.rnv.'•nvw.,n,,,,nv 2 1 I 09 i 13 123 25 i 02 111 00 12 04 03 1 07 r 13 � JnvAVhYAVM�N.N.w.w.NH Nt1MYr1 .........«.� iiw 02 41 06 3 13 I i4 � O1 i £ Nw MN 14 09 05 IL 3 fiH Q ^ " 05 i 02 t Z/ r 7 "9 TRA I b ? wNwN «««««« I = 03 \\```e` 01 r 7 a 3 18 / 9 Ac 9 r 10 rl 6 I \� ��% M �48 6 6 20 y� 2 2 t e i 10 ' e 7 ; `p(� MEADOWDALE RIDGE tsts a 57 03 �J� 05 `9' 04 ��; �+ TR 100 t 4 66 SP 1 0 183 j S6M T EW \�o DOWDALE HEIGHTS 2w / 2 r�r ® n.w nyNa�"N«P 3 i 4 6 t0 \ t x y 05 ��"g jl ^«n,. 06 / I V tS� �� 20 (7412) i 3 f 3 r Z.' 4-64N 2 07.

Lorian Woods Estates flanks 73`a Pl. W. east and west. Our subject area occupies a lightly forested hill of western aspect on the east side of the road. It rises from approximately elevation 130' (west of street level) to 170' at the north -end (Chiavelli up to Mantooth) and from approximately160' to 270' at the south end (Ross up to Johnson). The actual Lorian Estates east boundary line traverses the hill at roughly elevation 240'. Part of our subject area, then; actually reaches up onto adjacent properties. The approximate, largest, overall, lateral dimensions are 630' long north -south by 160' wide east -west at the north end and 200' wide at the south end. Its terrain and fall -line are both very uneven. That line is about 250' long at the south end and 175' long at the north end. From the top down to roughly mid -slope it declines by about 70°-50°. From mid -slope to the toe its pitch reduces to an average 40°-25°-12°, then flattens out as it approaches the east edge of 73rd Place. 4 M6 • 2. The overburden —duff, topsoil, sand and clay —appears very unstable, except on lot 1. Lots 2-5 have sustained numerous mudslides since 2001. Water seeps flow all"over the hill` —except lot 1, which, although not completely dry, seems much drier by comparison —and range in size from small (6"-12" wide) to large (2"-3" wide) where they daylight. rI We have located and marked nine of those water seeps. Thick underbrush may conceal more. Most of the hill, except lot 1, looks and feels saturated. Wet conditions prevail from street edge to the top. Evidence of a larger landslide 60-70 years ago exists on lot 1 (north lot owned by Chiavelli) below and west of the Mantooth property. Except for very dangerous, leaning alder trees on the upper slope of lot 1, it appears that most of that parcel has stabilized. Very little evidence of drainage problems exist on lot 1. 3. Three significant landslides have occurred since New Year, caused largely by very heavy, sustained rainfall. Slide spoils (mostly sand with some clay) have reached the street edge. An odd north -south oriented ravine —now filled with slide sediment and layers of duff and silt to create a shelf —separates the toe beneath Mantooth from an equally odd mound that parallels the ravine and the road. • C� • 4. Two of the landslides in observation 3 happened at the top edge of the slope on a / Sequoia Ridge lot (Bosch property) and on the first lot sout of Sequoia Ridge—t� John Johnson's property. Backyards of neighbors Bosch and JohnsoalLave calved off, and resulted in sheer cliffs above Lorian Woods. 5. The most recent slide snapped a very large maple trunk (#44), still visible, and dislodged large, completely dead, rotted maple stumps. Several large, mature trees have uprooted over the past five years and have caused slides of all sizes. 6. Exposed roots on uprooted trees reveal evere root -rot amage tissue necrosis). Many of the subject trees as well stand with visible, serious root disease and injury, as seen in maple #6 basal cavity next page top..

All have suffered wind breakage, deliberate topping, saturated soil, conditions and root -rot diseases of at least two types=armillaria sp. followed by hypoxylon deustem. 8. All of those large deciduous trees stand in various stages of decline. None of them exhibit vigor. Most old alders (30-60 years) have tipped or have grown at an extreme western lean to reach out from the shadow of larger trees (cut down years ago) to find sunlight. Another 23, not quite as large, also stand in various stages of decline and structural failure. =q r] • 9. We located about 30 very old conifer stumps (mostly western red cedar and two Doug firs, one of which appears above right of maple) across the sloPe,. We found `no evidence of tipping or shifting associated with the old stumps. Almost all old stumps, like the Western red cedar p.16, show a very vertical habit. Most of the old maples also appear to have grown straight. Reportedly, the original conifer forest was logged in the 1880s-1890s. We saw no hard evidence of seconddgrowth conifers other than the large western red cedars and a Grand fir east of 73` Place and large second growth Douglas firs on the west. 10. About 60-75 smaller deciduous natives (alders and maples, 50 of which are listed in the inventory) stand randomly scattered about the site. Eight to ten young cedars and two young redwoods have established and now flourish. 11. Three noxious, non-native, perennial weeds cover roughly 40-50% of the slope: Himalayan blackberry, English laurel and English ivy. The blackberry dominates the largest parts of the under -story on the hill partly beneath native trees,' but more 1 expansive in open, sunny areas. Salmonberry, a hardy native, has thickly covered other sunny areas equal to the blackberry and appears able to prevent blackberry from colonizing within those areas. Sword fern, Indian plum, Oregon grape, • hazelnut, saplings of Bigleaf maple and Red alder, young Western red cedar and wild grasses comprise the rest of the under -story. Some butterfly bush and 0 0�a • knotweed (another noxious, aggressive, non-native, invasive perennial) occur in limited areas and numbers. • 12. Two large and very healthy sequoias along with seven nice, big western red cedars benefit the site. Seven Western hemlocks and one grand fir (#58 above middle -right) stand as the only other conifer species. A large Indian paint fungus (Echinodontium tinctorium) conk protrudes from hemlock #75 near the base. The other hemlocks nearby do not appear in good health. One very large hemlock (#24) stands precariously at the top edge south of the Mantooth House. We detected mycelia in soil samples around the huge grand fir, which stands about 20'-30' down -slope from the Bosch home and towers above the entire sight. C7 Discussion points with conclusions and recommendations based on observations 1. Observations 1, 2,10 and 15. Based on the evidence extant, the subject slope remained fairly stable beneath the last climax forest and perhaps through the early and middle stages of new forest succession. City records show a purported "ancient major slide" on the site. The old conifer stumps have not moved —they appear to sit exactly where they originally germinated and grew. The old maples likewise do not exhibit any destinctive evidence of previous root -zone instability. Since the site includes multiple properties the city may require additional permits for tree removal. We recommend added geotechnical investigation of uphill properties. 2. 2, 3 and 9. The big old, leaning alders indicate some larger, older (60-70 years ago, certainly not "ancient") slide event at the north and north -central parts of the slope long before central and south slope failures. We believe the ravine and mound • mentioned in observation 3 were formed by a large landslide from the edge of the slope beneath Mantooth (lot 1). The size and age of the native trees on that mound indicate this event occurred at least 60-70 years ago. The mound appears quite stable and fairly well vegetated.

In our opinion; oot-rot disease in large trees —after soil saturation —is the biggest problem facing homeowners in Lorian Woods and Sequoia Ridge. Normally healthy trees with either deep root systems or very expansive root systems (well beyond the "drip line") remain stable during most severe wind and rain storms. They endure enormous forces even as they stand in saturated soil. Healthy, expansive, well -rooted, native under -story adds further protection —especially evergreen species —against erosion of overburden soils and substantially decreases saturation. (See discussion point 7.) In 2003 I inspected conditions on lots 1 and 2 and produced a report for Jennifer Mantooth, your northernmost neighbor atop the slope. During that period I had the opportunity to examine freshly exposed roots —both woody and fibrous —of uprooted trees. Evidence of root disease was clearly visible. The largest tree —an alder — pulled out of the slope just below the top edge and triggered a fairly large slide. It still lies across the slide chute; decay, weeds and moss have since obscured the roots. A large cedar uprooted at the south end of the slope above the Ross home and tipped back up the hill. Many alders have tipped and self arrested. Several v rlarge maples and old maple stumps have visible near the bottom of the recent Bosch slide. Aga 0 immediate correction and elimination. ® 6. 8, 9. Effects of root disease differ from tree to tree —even trees of same age and species —and therefore it remains very difficult -for us to predict failure. One may as well roll dice or bet the lottery. Unless very obvious symptoms of internal decline and visible decay exist we cannot simply condemn large trees out of hand. Certain other factors guide our recommendations. (See appendix VII for more discussion). In the case of Lorian Woods, fortunately, an abundance of evidence exists to helps us form our conclusions and to support recommendations for immediate removal of 81 ' very large and large trees. Huge splitting wounds, torn limb and scaffold sections, both deliberate and storm -caused topping and partial root failure are visible in all large deciduous trees on the Lorian Woods subject slope. Most evident and disturbing is the predominant lower trunk and root -crown decay, along with upper crown death and decline, in the over -story deciduous trees. Not all such trees require cutting down to grade. Some, like the repeated v I nned? maple that follows, still benefit slope soil stabil1ty and pull water out of the soil during the growing -season.

Whereas large alder stumps will simply start to rot away, maples, once relieved of -' their present crowns, will still function and provide stability to topsoil with surviving/ roots.' Once they produce epicormic shoots (stump "suckers") from adventitious buds and start to grow new foliage, their surviving roots will resume pumping water out of the hill, although not as efficiently as their original crowns did prior to the first topping events. 12 • Original stump wood will decay at unpredictable rates even as new sprouts continue to put on wood and, in many cases, create their own root systems. We cannot overstress the need to keep and manage old, surviving maple stumps undisturbed on the slope as;large maple "bushes". Another term, coppice cutting, often used for such radical tree management originates from "copse' —a thicket of stump sprouts or tightly clumped trees cut back regularly for various purposes. is • Snag -creation for wildlife habitat, in certain cases, is a preferable alternative to cutting down large, mature alders to low stumps. Such an approach eliminates high hazard, relieves weight stress on the root -system and surrounding soil and, if cut at the right height, allows for some original limb growth in addition to water sprout growth. We may employ such a technique in selected Lorian alders. While cutting conifer trees —like the hemlocks —and very large alders to low stumps effectively kills them, until pathogenic activity rots them away to the consistency of wet, rolled newspaper, their root systems also offer some stabilization to slope topsoil. Cutting young alders does result in thick copse growth. In Lorian Woods, we want to leave small alders alone and allow them to function as normal healthy trees until such time as it is necessary to cut them down. By that time a healthy, well wooded, restored slope will no longer need any alders. Blackberry behind truck, ivy up the maple with English laurel filling in between maples. and cedar • 7. 2,12. Blackberry, salmonberry and English laurel dominate the under -story in different areas. The blackberry (and salmonberry) obscures easy location of additional water seeps. Eradication of blackberry and all other noxious weeds, with selective removal of salmonberry, will greatly aid and improve drainage facility installation and lead to a successful slope restoration and forest replacement outcome. Experience has shown us that blackberry is not a good, long-term groundcover. It chokes out native vegetation that stabilizes slope soil much more effectively. Selective preservation of large areas dominated by salmonberry will benefit the slope restoration along with the addition of new natives 8. 13. (In_addition to diseased maple and alder trees, all of the western hemlocks stand in various stages of decline. The Indian paint conk in #75 indicates extensive trunk decay.

Very healthy, younger, smaller alders (about 60-75) benefit the site. They pose no danger and perform vital soil stabilization, provide nitrogen and some water control wherever they stand. Keep them until excavation and construction start in earnest. This means, specifically, that we need to protect them during large tree removal. 10. • In addition, we need to protect all western red cedars, sequoia and redwoods from upper -crown damage. 14. The subject slope rises above and behind five residential lots on the east side of 73`d PL.West two developed and occupied, three undeveloped. Hazardous soil and tree conditions, as discussed in discussion points 1-9, exist above all five lots. 14 650 • • •) Again, note how straight and upright this old cedar stump appears. It attests to some unknown period of time during which the subject slope must have been stable. 13. 17. If executed properly, large tree removal, slope restoration and ensuing development (that starts with well designed hill terracing and mud and water catchment) will result in a safe and desirable wooded residential site. 16 40 E 0 • Concluding summary The current mature and senescent stand of alder, maple and hemlock cannot remain on this slope if drainage, stabilization and development proceed. Removal will require a very large crane stationed beyond the toe with enough reach to cleanly pick and remove large trees with "zero -impact" to the site. Large tree felling in most cases involves too much risk to the slope's stability. The flat area between the road and the toe will sustain felling impact. Unless some means of safe access allows crane -assisted tree removal from the top (Sequoia Ridge), trees 25-30, 58, 115, 114, 65, 110, 118, 120, 121 will require careful rigging and lowering. Wherever possible, we will secure logs and limbs from these trees to the slope for structural stabilization and mud -catchment during the restoration phase. In addition to standing trees, all unsecured logs, not suitable for restoration purposes, and other large debris will require removal by crane. In all cases, younger, healthy, deciduous trees, woody shrubs and healthy conifers must be protected during the removal phase. Following tree removal, clean-up and soil and water protection, the restoration and replacement planting can safety follow. 17 cr 1 Restrict access to those trails. 1.1.1.3.

Grading, trenching and other kinds of excavation can directly or indirectly cause irreparable damage —physiological and structural —to the root -systems of desirable trees whether in a planned or new development, in an established community with established trees and landscape or on a single residential lot. The most common construction damage, other than direct injury to trunk and upper crown, is inflicted by careless excavation and grading activity executed with heavy equipment. If the critical root zones (CRZs) of on -site trees are not properly marked and protected, then digging will undoubtedly cause direct and immediate physical damage to roots; grading will cause extremely compacted soil over the root -zone. Compacted soil, if neglected, will eventually cause root decline followed by tree decline and probable death by depriving the roots of oxygen, water and/or proper drainage. Healthy root growth requires adequate oxygen and water in the soil. Too much of either will result in dry, dead roots or saturated, drowned roots. The proper balance of water and oxygen in the root -zone soil depends critically on good DRAINAGE. With few exceptions, most of our desirable forest and landscape trees (native or non- native) cannot long endure "wet feet' —roots in standing water or mud. Ironically root -rot fungi cannot live without oxygen either. Despite that quirk of nature, harmful pathogens find their way to stressed and weakened root fiber and wood tissue (often after the water has drained or evaporated), feed on the dead tissue and colonize weakened living tissue. Sometimes the tree has the capacity to section off the entry site and continue to grow and thrive. Sometimes it cannot hold out the invader and inevitably dies while standing or fails and falls. -Live crown ratio indicates how large a food source the tree has. The tree manufactures its energy by photosynthesis. It grows as much foliage as it needs to survive under a given set of long-term, environmental circumstances; it sets its foliage according to immediate conditions that determine sunlight or shade. Sometimes such conditions cause a tree to establish an asymmetric crown. If conditions change suddenly, then a tree with an unbalanced canopy and a low live -crown ratio will usually not have the capability to stand safely for the long-term because it cannot tolerate added stress to its system, its physical -plant. Trees react to stress by growing more wood to strengthen themselves at their defective points —reaction wood. Production of reaction wood requires consumption of more energy; if the tree has limited foliage capacity, then it has to use stored energy (sugar and starch photosynthates) in order to produce that reaction wood. Once that happens, the tree drops into an energy deficit and becomes highly vulnerable to fatal attacks by outside pathogenic agents: usually root -rot, but often by other airborne (spores, insects or both at once) or water -born pathogens as well. Mature Douglas firs or Western red cedars, for example, with well formed buttress -roots (a strong root -crown) reasonably symmetric, live tops and foliage crowns that adorn at least half the height of the trunk with normal spread, distribution and spacing of and is 17 6�i between limbs, usually rate as low hazard. Sometimes a fir can achieve that condition as • a forest grown tree. Usually only open -grown firs attain that appearance, and, in fact quite often resemble huge Christmas trees with 75%-95% live crown -to -stem ratios. Sometimes we encounter large trees that look good outwardly but have serious, usually fatal root -rot disease. In those cases we discover that fungal activity has turned most foundation root -wood to pulp with just enough good xylem (wood) in the outer rings to pull water out of the ground and keep the foliage green. Indeed, some or even all of the larger roots may yet have undamaged "channels" or "sheets" of phloem (just beneath the bark) still intact that carry photosynthates to the root tips —but not enough any longer. In other words, the "plumbing" still works but the foundation is gone. The struggling system can no longer create new, strong tissue as fast as pathogens destroy it. Such trees are lethal and the most dangerous of all. Therefore, we do not automatically assign good- . condition ratings to trees based solely on a high crown -to -stem ratio. That feature, however, usually directs all other hazard/condition inspection and normally gives a first and obvious clue as to overall tree or forest health. -Any harmful pathogenic agent —usually fungus, nematode or insect —in the close environment will gravitate to the stressed tree, invade and colonize. Most often this phenomenon leads to root -rot or upper -crown desiccation. -Those preceding three factors combined make predictions about tree health and tree safety very difficult in the face of the fourth, namely: planned development or underground utility improvement, especially when that development or improvement will cause significant ground disturbance that, in turn, will directly or indirectly harm root health and structure. No matter how important large trees may seem to a community or a single home, we cannot ever place sentimentality for a tree above long-term safety of that community. - Poor foliage color or twig growth, die -back and decay all indicate stress and poor health. Apart from obvious dead limbs and fading, sparse foliage (symptomatic of health problems to both the trained and untrained eye), a more alarming symptom of root -rot in large trees is loss of significant meristem—ter terminal —twig growth. No matter how good the foliage crown appears in color or density, if terminal growth (foliage at limb- and branch -ends) has a very bunched, stunted appearance (with no distinctive leading twig —in most coniferous evergreen species —or with extremely small or nonexistent internodal space between annual buds —in most deciduous, broadleaf tree —then root condition must be considered. Large sections of root -system, in all probability, no longer function properly. Moreover, if limbs have not achieved proportionately thick, strong stem -wood relative to tree size, something is (and was) wrong, probably in the roots. Soil and root tissue samples, tested in a pathologist's lab, should reveal extent and intensity of harmful fungus (or fungi) in the roots and surrounding soil.. If no evidence of recent root destruction or soil compaction exists on a site with declining trees, then root -rot and decay detection must proceed. 18 L.'s 4 -Decay compromises the tree's structural integrity. Whether visible or concealed, recognition of decayed wood remains the paramount concern for rating structural safety. Other structural defects that elevate the hazard rating of a large tree include: 1) narrow, weak leader -scaffold (crown section) -limb -branch attachments — most notably characterized by very narrow, V-shaped crotches and a condition called "included bark"; 2) longitudinal splits (in the same direction as the wood grain) —also called stress fractures, cracks or seams; 3) stem height ("the tree trunk") or length (the limbs) that proportionately exceeds necessary girth (thickness of wood); 4) poor taper or lack of taper; S) flattened or concave trunk surface beneath limb attachments, which often indicate decay; or, 6) conversely, bulging, burl -like formations on the trunk surface often indicate decay and usually occur when the weight of the tree above that decay point simply settles down upon that point and literally squashes or bulges out weakened, decayed wood —also known as "fiber buckling." If no possibility exists for correction of hazard in a subject tree, then we condemn the tree. Low crown -to -stem ratio, severe asymmetry, and weak looking growth in any tree beyond remedial help, would lead any prudent public official, developer or property owner toward a removal and replacement decision for such tree(s). Please keep the facts presented here in mind as you read the following hazard evaluations. * Dr. James Clark and Nelda Matheny, owners of HortScience, inc. in Pleasanton, California, developed the Tree Hazard Evaluation form, that we use, in their widely read and used publication, The Guide to Tree Hazard Evaluation, published by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). 19 4� Ll David M. Reich, consulting arborist.� Hazard evaluation The following Tree Hazard Evaluation(s)--completed on standard THE forms --provide a. rating number in the upper right corner. We arrive at that number by going through the process of data collection and analysis based on what we can measure and detect in the field —the higher the number, the higher the hazard. If necessary, or if requested, we confirm or dismiss issues of undetectable root -rot with additional laboratory analysis. We have not done THE forms for all trees —only those that presently stand large enough and dangerous enough to cause major damage, injury or death. We have also selected certain subjects across the area that help us determine the probable extent of root -disease or external physical damage in the area with reasonable accuracy. Please understand that in order to accurately condemn a large tree as "hazardous," it must stand in poor condition beyond remedial help within striking distance of a valuable, high - use target —no target, no hazard. "High use" targets include homes, infrastructure, busy public gathering places like parks, schools, shopping areas. In certain settings —like a steep forested or partially wooded slope —where large trees may stand well beyond striking range of any but the most infrequent human activity, they would still rate high hazard ratings if their failure caused indirect damage or injury to homes or infrastructure above or below that slope by triggering landslides. In lowland wooded areas along water courses, again well away from human activity, downed trees can effectively dam the water, especially during storm and flood seasons, and cause or significantly increase flood damage in populated areas. Six important factors in a situation like the present one require intense scrutiny and thought with respect to predictable hazard: 1) recent site disturbance 2) live crown -to -stem ratio (the most important), 3) pathogenic activity in the root -zones, 4) planned ground or aerial disturbance nearby, 5) overall physiological health and 6) structural integrity. -Site disturbance —recent or planned —subjects retained trees to new stresses: change in wind exposure; change in water supply or drainage (hydrology) that can lead to colonization of harmful fungi; change in sunlight or shade that can lead to problems in the foliage.

STIJ010 -.M :By'.WANDA A. ADAMS ;Staff W EDMONDS. 'Johh-'An sine �- =.,Johnson have, everything - 4;,2 'acres o n-dappled woods and musical streams; ''a -home , surrounded '.by flower i -beds, a green carpet _of 'a lawn; the entire Olympic Range,' and- an'eagle's -view of the Edmonds shore and tracks below 'that make it "our own miniature train set; '. John says.'. And they want to give` if -all away.. Not just -yet. And not to just anyone with no strings attached. But give'it away, they will. The two recently had their woods rezoned "open space," granting them'a tax break similar to that on farm lands and guaranteeing the city of Ed- monds a future park site. Johnson promised to . turn the land over'to the city when: he and his wife �. die. ';Exempted from the "open space" zoning .is the two acres occupied by the house-and'terraced gar - 'dens,. but the Johnsons have plans for these, too. We want to make a center for =the arts, and for .nature 'study :. , rather than just a 'park -park,"' t John explained. D'Elaine, a_ professional artist and teacher of arts, visualizes string' -quartets playing in the out- door circle in front of .the house; arts groups meet- ing in the living room; .an artist=in-residence_ acting !as caretaker and leaving a piece of his or her work in the art gallery when he or she moves on. .John, whose work -worn fingers have moved "about 130 yards of dirt with a wheelbarrow" to create a pool, trails, flower beds and a camp -fire site, pictures a msall cabin or two nestled in the woods 'where an artist could go to commune with nature, .or ' where handicapped 'children could be taken -to -camp. - r } . D'Elaine explained; `With us 4having- no family; I've always been concerned about' who' we would uld leave it to .... at first my thought was .: '. tile. ' ;.;blind (d.'Elaine is blind" in one eye;), `but then I,:bv -ni gan to ihink we .should consider everymje ;_::__... :.•. "Actually, the thing that:scares-.us.most.is some • :;realtor seeing this and thinking it would be' a good subdivision. "As people become snore dense, they need little reserves even more ... This, -could be •one `for the people•of south Snohomish County:'` -= ice = But the two are very concerned abouC-control of the site. They've already had some bad • expe- rience s'with what John calls "a carload of frisky Critters- who drove into the woods 'and tried to steal, some things. They believe a caretaker — whether permanent ar: as part -of the duties of rotating artists-in-resi Hence —and a requirement that, groups reserve the site beforehand would' solve those problems; and.. -they are meeting with the city in order to set up such a covenant. gAfter retirement;'they',would'..like'to begin' inall •ing -the transition from .private residence to public :facility,: However, t�operty'would remain their home until their de . . The Johnsons would like- to be the first .care - .taker -artist team, setting the ground rules to be fo1- lowed after they're gone. And John adds, "I've ;also got a selfish motive in this — I'm not at all sure that when I die, I might not..stilU•be around:" To, John,' who says he is happiest when he's far- thest from "civilization," bunting in the high coun- try, the woods.is`a way to unwind from his work in the claims department of an .insurance com- pany. "I want people to experience what I experience . When I come home and drive down between these. -overhanging sequoias and see this view,all the tension seems to fade," he says. They spend much of their time escorting friends through their "arboretum," and they allow .elemen- tary schools and groups of handicapped people to walk through. The walk into the woods is, as one councilman commented, like hiking -into the forest "`about 75 miles." The well-worn path winds switchback -style .into a gully where natural streams leach out of the sandy soil, and ferns and skunk cabbage grow large. On the way, John shows off a miniature. castle perched atop a stump where, he tells children, "the elves live." He uses a battery ' to light the structures at night, enchanting the little ones., You cross a hump -backed wooden bridge at the mouth of a shallow pond : on a trail that curves around the water through a. swamp paved with felled trees. Here, John tells guests, "watch out for -the boa constrictofs and don't under any cir- cumstances step into the 'quicksand. Every once in a while -we 'lose' somebody that way." And he 'chuckles. ' Oji.the way back up the hill,;'two.tall snags show .signs. of .being'woodpe"&ers' fav6rites and moun- tain -beavers Have bucrowea.'beside the trail. The Johnsons plan to make the trail as safe as possible for handicapped and elderly, but leave por- tions of what John calls "the forest primeval" for .the more adventurous .to explore. 'Flight now,•they're seeking people with the help of the city, of Edmonds. to tell them how to make their dream a reality. And they're thinking of get- ting volunteers to help in the trail construction' and planting. .;Saturday, Edmonds officials met with the John - sons and expressed enthusiasm about the project. 'However, they said the city can't afford it with its present budget. But they said they will try to help find private money.for the work. 'When it's all over," Johnson says, tamping down .the tobacco, in his.. -,pipe, "I want people to know I was`here:" _: Johr and-.dVaine Johnson, owners of the home.

When I arrived I found that -there was no followup to be done but an original ca plaint to be taken. The PR/Complainant JOHNSON #1 told me a long story about the current problems that she and her husband are having with a neighbor's son. This is suspect ALLARD RUSSELL who has been taking care of the neighbor's house and doing damage to the JOHNSON's property. It appears that in September 1987, the victims went for a vacation and, upon their return, found that limbs from their Redwood/Sequoia trees were cut off their trees. The suspects had to go all the way onto the JOHNSON's property to do this and did it for the purpose of clearing the way to the door to the house next door. The JOHNSONS investigated on their own and have brought a civil law suit against suspect RUSSELL. They are also concerned because of another incident which occurred recently in October in which they had gone on vacation again and when they returned and got their water bill, it was for $515. Apparently someone had came onto their property and connected a hose to their faucet and allowed the water to run at a high rate and for a long time. This appears that it occurred just prior to the suspect leaving town. During the investigation that the JOHNSONs did concerning the tree limb cutting, they found that a person by the name of ROBERT NILSON had been paid by suspect RUSSELL to cut the tree limbs. This was done at the direction of the suspect who then later apologized to Mr. JOHNSON for having the tree limbs cut. Victim #1, JOHNSON, claimed damages because of a loss of privacy and damage to the trees. Most of the branches cut were only up to about 9 or 10 feet up the tree and on one side of the tree. However, the JOHNSONs have a valid canplaint that the suspect had to cross onto their property and trespass to cut the trees. I left statement forms with Mrs. JOHNSON for her to fill out and she advised me that she would have her husband write the statement as he's used to doing those things. Have not made contact with Mr. RUSSELL; he is apparently in Florida. Also, I tried to contact Mr. NILSON to obtain his story and to obtain a statement to verify what the JOHNSONs told me. I do not feel that Mr. NILSON should be held liable criminally for the limb cutting as he was doing it at the direction of an employer and probably did not know who owned the trees.

"We are extensions of a God -like figure of perfection. Our journey through life can be an expression of that lofty state in whatever we do," she suggests. D'Elaine observed early in life that water, like clouds, is formless. She began experimenting by dropping paint into it and delighting in the "myriad visual surprises." "I noticed a freedom of movement nothing else afforded: Painting became a way of life for me. Today, I am a full- time artist." Her fascination with water led her to become one of the first women scubba divers in the U.S., in 1956. "I studied life under water and interpreted what I saw on canvas." Her research took her to Canadian, Hawaiian, and Pacific Northwest waters. "I saw an untouched arena I could explore as an art medium, unlike photographic impressions, but creatively, expansively. The sea is a universal binding element; its relation to humanity is intrinsic and infinite." At the age of thirty, she began researching sea legends and mythology, defining its ties to the multiple religions, cultures and societies of all ages. Historically, her research is without peer. In addition, she devoted 24 years to visual art instruction, coupled with philosophical insights. "Each of us has the seed of creativity; I have found great joy in knowing this fact and in developing it continuously." M N -2- Johnson Over the years, D'Elaine has produced hundreds of extraordinary paintings, chronicling her on -going studies. She accompanies many of her works with equally powerful historically significant texts. Her place of work, Pisces Studio in Edmonds, Washington, looks out over the Pacific Ocean inland waterways, affording a panoramic view of the majestic Olympic Mountain range, north to the sheltered San Juan Islands. A close associate of Jacques -Yves Cousteau had this to say of D'Elaine's work: ..."I was overwhelmed by her talent. Each work is based on exhaustive anthropological or biological research. The feelings evoked are striking." Cousteau is planning a visit, to see her paintings. A spokesman for the Vancouver, B. C., Maritime Museum (which has a permanent exhibit of D'Elaine's work) said: "...It is the fantasy world of the ancient mariner, with its strange and sometimes terrifying visions, that she brings powerfully to life through her remarkable paintings." A native of Auburn, Washington, she received her Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Washington in 1958. Acclaimed and collected world-wide, she has won numerous awards, honorariums and scholarships, and is exhibited throughout the U.S. In addition, she has been named in many "Who's Who" annals. The second week -end of every May, she holds a two-day open house celebration at her studio. Her unique contribution to the art world both in subject and technique is abundantly evident. As an extension of her artistic bent, she studies violin and composes. "My particular art form intends to tie all life on this planet together in a universal context of freedom and abundance." it N Subject :: Speed Message , r • � � �,.. �L.AL .ter r� � r A art ri• ► A r • . �► �� �•► - 1� �__ _• . ��. - - l.r it ,, a► • • "Y1.0 � T1'1CCi��C7wl- �C '1� .3'� GA�— " . � Signed V�IIb�A�.t.Lc.�.Q '����v_�r1 �t�,�r�.m.��er+'► io-*1 0, GfylvLlbYl1♦aQf�ta9� j <`'��'�� ��� i1 1 • P N J U. •.

HAHN DIRECTOR Mr. John Johnson 16122 - 7ard Avenue West Edmonds, WA 98020 Dear Mr. Johnson: I have enclosed a copy of our Water Leakage Policy per your request. I still have to deny your request as a credit for the billing period of September 1, 1987 through October 29, 1987. Our.policy was intended to be a leakage policy used in cases where a pipe between the house and meter begins to leak. The policy is used in a lot of cases where the water can not be detected due to location, type of soil, distance from house to meter, and location of meter. Your case is not a leakage but a deliberate use of the water by an unknown person.. If that person is known, you should take the steps to get payment -from the violator. This would be a civil court matter and you should consult the proper legal steps. Sincerely, Bobby R.

By CINDY ALTICK High up on a bluff, overlooking the Meadowdale docks, D'Elaine and John Johnson's property com- mands a sweeping view of the Puget Sound and then plunges down a hill-' side into a dark, fern -filled forest. Although the Johnsons have a 6.5- acre wonderland which could be subdivided and developed, they have other ideas for their little piece of paradise. The Johnsons have a dream of turning their land into a retreat, a "Camp David concept" as Mrs. Johnson explains it, where people could discuss important matters in a scenic, restful setting, in com- munication with nature. Specifically, the Johnsons envi- sion a retreat especially for educa- tion, where educational leaders could meet, where classes could be held and where nature walks con- ducted When Mrs. Johnson takes a visi- tor through her property, she can aV ready envision where the main con- ference building will go, tucked be- low the level of the bluff, with a view of the sound. Farther down the road, through leafy paths, the dorms will be hidden. She also wants to put in a log cabin, where people could go with a sleeping bag and cozy -up to a pot-bellied stove. Drams for chic retreat are thwar- ted, however, as the Johnson try to find someone to fund this project. Johnson said she approached the Edmonds City Council six years ago with a proposal to donate the land to Edmonds. "There were too many stipula- tions," Parks and Recreation Direc- tor Steve Simpson remembers of the council decision to reject the offer. Simpson said Jim Jessel, then parks director, suggested the John - sons talk to Tom Nielsen, president of Edmonds Community College, who might be interested in the idea of a public educational retreat. - Nielsen has stayed in contact with the Johnsons ever since, although he said nothing concrete has been done. "We're trying to shape and iden- tify the logical.development of this idea,", he sort!: "Personally and philosophically, I would like to see that land preserv-- ed for future public use," he said. A possible way to acquire the Iced would be to start a foundation, Niel- sen said, so that funds could be di- rectly applied to the retreat. Nielsen said to do it right, he believes it would take PW,000 to start. Althou* the Johnsons have -the plans all worked out for the location of the buildings, the only standing building, besides a tree house, is the Johnsons' house, on the crest of the bluff. Mrs. Johnson envisions that house becoming offices with the de- velopment of the retreat. What the Johnson would like, according to Mrs. Johnson, is to be paid as caretakers to stay in their house for the rest of their lives and oversee the development of the pro- perty. Since the Johnsons have'no heirs, they would leave the land, and all their possessions, including Mrs. Johnson's paintings and antique furniture, to the foundation. Mrs. Johnson is a retired art in- structor and John Johnson works for Allstate Insurance in Seattle. The Johnsons bought the property in 1971, from Mrs. Preston, an old friend who wanted to get rid of the property when her husband died. . The land was in bad shape :when they got it, Mrs. Johnson said, and within two years her husband had relandscaped the land and `built = trails through the sloping forest to the north. Mrs. Johnson's art studio was built, with skylights to let in natural light; and the lawn was put ii, -stretching to rows of flowers on the edge of the bluff. "Being an artist, I'm sensitive to beauty, to nature, to educational needs, and to future generations," D'Elaine Johnson said. She compared her piece of hand to a prime opera seat, overlooking the Puget Sound. "I feel that mart does not own land; we're simply loaned a little space,'.' she said. "We 'shouldn't have selfish motives; we need to preserve something for fu- ture generations." "Edmonds should have a part of this," she said. ;3 kr_S,.,b�S• { ,1..<LR .'6" •f. -,�" � .� .. .4 •$'}•, yS ?� t.�.4+.,14a Cr1...1 w- A.

TERREY Executive Director I has been some time since Tom Nielsen took Bill Julius and me to your beautiful he to meet with you and become,-pacquainted with the property. Since that time, we have attempted to identify the wlst►es-that you and your husband have with the legal issues that we -would have if such'a property were, in fact, -to be made available to the community colleges. These issues are before the Assistant Attorney General and have been for some time. Today I called him again to find out how his analysis is going. He has a preliminary draft prepared, but he has asked for more time to check some of the legal ramifications. There seems to be quite a difference between humane efforts which you have pre- sented and legal issues which tend to frustrate the former. This is a relatively complex issue if the needs of all the parties are to be met. Therefore, I am asking that you be patient with us a little longer. As soon as we have some legal guidance to work on, we will be back in touch with you. Again, Bill and I appreciated the time you gave us. We do have your two notebooks and are taking good care of those. I hope you are enjoying the summer. Sincerely, �-T ohn N. Terrey xecutive Direct JNT:AJK C: Tom Nilsen M 3 D0 The Edmonds View • Wednesday, August 22, 1984 • Page S Round Table ex lores in Arts n 1 1'k V nezuela By CINDY ALTICK :..The annual Arts Round Table gathering of all local community members involved in the arts, was held at Mt. Olympus, the home of John and d'Elaine Johnson, on 72nd Avenue West, high about the Meadowdale docks last Wednesday, August 15. 'Arts coordinators from Lynn- wood, Mountlake Terrace, Ed- monds, the school district and Ed- monds Community College gathered to share ideas and talk about art in the community. After a potluck dinner, the participants heard Dee Dickinson, coordinator for New Horizons for Learning, talk about intelligence and the arts. Dickinson has been a teacher for 35 years, and taught at Bush School in Seattle and at the University of telligence respective fields. Edmonds Com- munity College President Tom Niel- sen spoke of the college's newest art gallery. Joan Nykreim spoke of the progress of the Snohomish County Cultural Arts, Stadium and Conven- tion District in selecting a consultant to help with the site determination of the proposed performing arts/ stadium to be built in south Snoho- mish County. The entire group ended their ses- sion in a large circle, holding hands, and envisioning.the development of . a strong network of people dedica- ted to seeking new ways to creative- ly educate people, as the sun set on the sound behind them. >The Arts Round Table was star- ted six years ago by d'Elaine John- son when she realized that artists in -i ldmonds did not have much contact sifith each other. Each year d'Elaine Washington. Her organization, New Horizons for Learning, is. an inter- national human resource network, that communicates new ideas about education and brain research to var- ious organizations throughout the world. human race, s e sat . Dickinson spoke of research that has uncovered seven kinds of intel- ligence. This culture has only em- phasized the verbal and mathemat- ical or logical kinds of intelligence, she said. Research of Harvard pro- fessor Howard Gardner has uncov- ered five other kinds of inter -related intelligence, she said. She said those five other intelli- gences are visual, body kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, having to do with interacting with people, and in- trapersonal, being self aware. Dickinson cited numerous exam- ples of international projects being conducted to p aces t e e and Paris, where children were be- ing encouraged to develop all the facets of their intelligence through creative stimulation, color, sound, taste, smell, dance and drama. "This is a golden time for the " h d "We have found it is probably possible to teach intelligence." Dickinson said she believed cen- ters where educational brainstorm- ing and sharing international re- search were going to spring up all over the world, and she envisioned the Mt. Olympus site, where the Johnson's live, as one such site. The Johnsons have approached Ed- monds and the Edmonds Communi- ty College with such a proposal to donate their land to the comtrfunity in order to develop such a site. The Arts Round Table members shared the progress of arts in their and creativity and the Arts Commission put to- gether a list of all the arts people in the community who they judge are active in their fields and should create networks with other artists. The group was originally compos- ed of mainly artists, d'Elaine said, but the group has evolved to include people who are leaders in the arts field.. School Superintendent Hal Reasley, Edmonds Community Col- lege President Tom Nielsen, Cas- cade Symphony Director Robert Anderson, and Driftwood Players President Terry Horton, are some of the people that have been included on the Arts Round Table. Lael Williams, curriculum specialist in visual arts for the Edmonds School District, told the annual Arts Round Table that she was sure they would soon see an explosion of creativity in the classroom.

John Johnson looked out towards the 0!ympics from a viewpoint at Mount Olympus, his estate in North Edmonds. Laebugten Wharf was about. 500 feet away. Straight down. "It's nice no place else I've ever seen," he said. "I'm Incredibly lucky to have it, but it would be selfish to keep this kind of beauty for.myself. Others should share it." A few people did just that last week when Johnson and his wife d'Elaine held Taking in the sights one of their twice yearly open houses.at the six acre estate. The land is one of the most breathtaking places on Puget Sound. The view from the Johnson's -front yard is a marvel in itself. Totally unob- structed, the cliffside panorama spans from Bainbridge Island on the south to Whidbey Island on the north. It also of- fers one of the very few complete views of the total Olympic range. THE VIEW, HOWEVER, is only part of the estate's enchantment. A large wooded area on the land's north end pro- vides what one biologist calls "an ecological wonderland." The north acreage, Johnson said, has five distinct ecologies, including second growth timber, marsh and bog. It also r' contains a wide variety of plants — in- . eluding the rare Cinnamon Fern — and is w the home for racoons, opossums and weasles. Johnson has cleared about a half mile �.., :; •. of trails through the woods and recently dammed some of its spring water to form a pond. The land also has a number of terraced gardens whieb Johnson built three years ago. The gardens are planted with - - - -'. _.�... flowers and flowering shrubs.

Johrn and d'Elaine Johnsen have offered their home and grounds, at 16122 72nd.Ave. W., as a gift to the co!lege. But it's not what rnit;ht be expected — the inherit- ance doesn't depend on someone's dea th. It's very much for the here and now. The Johnsons explain that they have no heirs and are inter- ested in seeing their "dream prop- erty" passed on to an appreciative audience. They hope it will be set aside as a nature preserve; an _inspirational setting for artists, photographers, educators and stu- Jents. And officials at the college are most interested. 4&"I'm not an artist," commented m Nielsen, interim president of the. Edmonds college, "but I get inspired just being there. It would be a real advantage to have the edmands property, both for the college and for mankind. "It would help guarantee that ;t would be left to future generations and not be gobbled up by houses or condominiums. That kind of beauty man cannot create." Mrs. Johnson, an award -win- ning artist, said: "All [hat we re- quest is that it be preserved for humanity and the arts and na- ture ... that no man can ever have the right to destroy our dream during the life of this earth." Details haven't been agreed on yet "We want to pursue this deliber- ately and cautiously," Nielsen said. "I expect to devote more energy to the project early in the summer. Once we get the assist- ant attorney general and every- body sitting around the table, we can begin to work out the details." Nielsen didn't disclose how much it would cost the college in yearl. upkeep. The property,: most of which is now designated open space for lower taxes, woutd be tax. -free if passed on to. the colle2.P, he said. Discussions are in the early stage, he added, and the trustees of Community College District 5, which links Everett and Edmonds Community Colleges, haven't yet had a chance to look over the project. The Johnsons are asking that they be able to live on the proper- ty for the rest of their lives, that it be permanently dedicated a pre- serve and that a collection of Mrs. Johnson's art be displayed vear- round. Mrs. Johnson envisions use of the property for retreats, outdoor dramatic performances and for classes in art, drama, crafts, pho- tography and so on. She has taught art for 24 years at Roosevelt High School in Seattle and has won numerous prestigious prizes for her artistry. Much of her work is poetic inter- pretation of the sea, samples of which hang in international collec- tions.

"We think we have the best of both — a formal yard and garden set into a very nat- ural environment which we're changing as little as possible. But all this hasn't hap- pened overnight. John has spent unbeliev- able hours getting it into the shape you see it now. It was overgrown and every step of the ay was work. I may create things with pigments and brushes and play my violin in my studio, but John is the one who ex- presses himself artistically outdoors." Many of the plusses at the Johnson home are legacies of nature and the origi- nal owners who kept the property intact — a small scale rain forest with giant, mossy evergreens both standing and fallen, a stream which Johnson has coaxed into a li tiny woodland pond which is to be stocked eventually, a nitwork of trails which make I! even a good hiker breath hard, birds and 1 : other wildlife, and a phenomenal view of Well -manicured grounds and colorful planting - areas give north Edmonds home the aura of o'" country estate.h4i; �, View through house from entry focuses one.-�nr 2 window wall framing Sound and mountain View. �; c� ,;p► upper Puget Sound and the Olympics. "I try to make the rounds of thetrails once every day at a run, even 'when it rains," the trim school art teacher said, ,,and I always have a supply of extra boots and rain gear available so I can show it off to visitors, no matter what the weather's like." While the setting does make the place, the house isn't all that ordinary and the Johnsons have adapted it to their activities very effectively. The bedroom with the view was turned into a den, and in it are a num- ber of antiques which came around the Horn. Lila Crosby Preston, whose husband Donald D. Preston, built the house, was a cousin of 'entertainer Bing Crosby and some of the pieces which the Johnsons acquired with the house had belonged to Bing's parents. Originally there was a wide breezeway between the main structure and a garage. This had been closed in and it became all ideal studio with its full wall of north light and access to an inspiring yard. In warm 1.1C Sun., -Nov. 18, 1973 Seattle Post. IntelligencerNORTHWEST weather much of Mrs. Johnson's painting is done in the open. She calls her media "self -involved" be- cause she creates her own materials, mak- ing her own glues and mixing her own pigments. To leave the gumwood walls clear for hanging paintings as they are completed, they utilized the center of the. room for work space and equipment stor- age and moved 'old kitchen counters intact into the studio following a kitchen remod- eling. The studio also houses a collection of exotic shells and other underwater treas- ures gleaned on diving expeditions. A rare" and humorous find is a barnacle -encrusted pair of dark glasses. Alterations to the house included the installation of a framing shop adjacent to the studio. The Johnsons bless the Prestons for the quality of plantings which went into the place originally, particularly the rows Of fast-growing sequoias with their symetrical profiles forming natural boundries for the formal areas of the property. , r l Seeing double R': DENSE TREES and brush formed a lacey reflection in Spook Pond on_the- "' Nil J-i • • and a network of . tvoodlccnd -t rails:* by Jean.

'J OHN L AND dMalne Johmn have the best of two environments — one formal and highly landscaped with a marine view, the other a natural forest. Their Mea- dowdale home, on a western, bluff high above Puget Sound, sits in the center of a sunny, open peninsula of lawn bordered by Sequoia trees and colorful flower beds con- taining 4,000 annuals. On the north side of their property, a gentle trail leads down into a 4% acre for- est, past moss -covered cedar. stumps. the only relics of the cathedralaike stand of vir- SIn timber which once covered this area. The Johnsons care about the land and its conservation: "We are borrowing. this land for a moment in time; many using it will fol- low us," they believe. It is not surprising then, to learn. that they have taken the first legal steps to be- queath tbeir home and land to the City of Edmonds as a park "for the preservation of the arts and nature, with special considera- tion for the handicapped." It is easy to picture an audience enjoying a concert at sunset, the musicians seated in `sn open-air pavilion, built at the base of a huge cedar tree in front of the house..Or a Shakespeare play in the forest, where the hillside forms a natural amphitheater. Although the cultural/nature center is some years in the future, the Johnsons al- ready are beginning to plan for the first. community use of the grounds and buildings. "We are functioning in miniature al- ready, with nature study and other small groups using the grounds," said Mrs. John- son. d'Elaine Johnson, a well-known local art-',',... ist whose work deals with the mythology alt ; the sea, has taught art at Roosevelt High School for 24 years, She plans to organize art and crafts classes at the future center, in conjunction with local arts groups. Her husband, an insurance adjustor, is a tainted landscape designer; he has created the outstanding formal gardens near the souse and .a network of trails in the forest. He soon hopes to schedule small groups of senior citizens for outdoor experiences: c,Ooer people .love to garden, but they're often confined to an apartment or nursing home with only a few flower pots and a te- •levkw& They could come out here and en- . joy some hours working with the flowers. "This Is a small -enough park that it can be highly supervised," said Mrs. Johnson, "yet it will offer so much variety of experi- ence and types of terrain. "In the woods down below, there'll be a log cabin for a poet or writer, a. pond stocked with trout for children to fish and mlture trails for the handicapped. And up... `1111lilt 111111111411111111111111►11111111111lI1111 Sun.,, Aug. ►il 1978 here in the yard I want a black -top strip around the edge of the flower beds so those in wheel chairs can enjoy the flowers too." The Johnson purchased their home from Lila Crosby Preston, whose husband, Donald• Preston, built it. Many 4 the antique fur- °shings in the home came around Cape Horn with the seafaring Crosbys who settled in Tumwater, and later moved to Spokane. (She was first cousin to Bing Crosby.) Guests arriving at the low -stung tile - roofed home drive past a huge forest stump set 4w. an island of St. John'swort. Sequoias pneir4e the tUrn-around and also the prop- erty. Planted by the original owners, they are fast-growing and afford good privacy. Decor is relaxed and informal: In the living room brown hooked rugs are used on the lighter brown wall-to-wall carpeting. A bentwood rocker is near the Roman brick fireplace. The view to the west from. the living Loom seems to reach to .the Pacific through the straits; the Johnsons have a good collection of spectacular sunset photo- graphs. An unusual trailing jade plant domi. nates the window in the den; here also are an antique roll-top desk and dresser. d'Elaine Johnson's studio has a sky - lighted work area as well as a library for her collection of books on sea lore. Sea shells, ship models and underwater treasures found during her diving trips line gallery walls, along with her paintings. Near the studio is a complete framing shop. Outbuildings include a greenhouse and a large garage/storage building which, in the Johnson's legacy, will become the crafts fa- cility for the new cultural/nature center. "We're writing up the guidelines now with the Edmonds city attorney. We want to develop this slowly and thoughtfully with an understanding of how the community could use the land and home," said d'Elaine John- son, adding, "the people will help us make it happen.".

Ms. Johnson first contacted me regarding her consideration of the possibility of utilizing her home and grounds for the benefit of visually impaired people. Since that time I have been a friend and informal advisor to Ms. Johnson. d'Elaine Johnson presents a complex disabling condition that cannot be judged by her measured. visual acuity alone. Her years of struggle to compensate for poor vision in a visual arts arena -was emotionally exhausting. She has great pride in appearing to be NON -disabled and yet throughout her working life she suffered from the realistic fear that her visual condition -would be dis- covered by school authorities to the detriment of her career. Her sustained effort to Appear "etrong" and completely versatile in art instruction meant that'she had to spend most of her pri- vate time resting in order to maintain her fragile reserves. She has attesipted to research information about the effects of artificial lighting on her kind of visual impairment. chile the research is inconclusive, there is some evidence that fluorescent light particularly may have had a negative physiological effect. As is frequently the case with people who are partially si&lited, the confusion to herself and others as to the extent of her visual impairment has caused as much stress as would be the case if she vere totally blind. June 18, 1980 Page 2 Standard rehabilitation procedures are not appropriate in Ms. Johnson's case becau3e in addition to her visual impairment and the emotional stresses she has endured, the artistic talent which she shepherds necessitates her searching out her own in- dividualized artistic path. Since her major employment through- out her life has been as an arz educator, in which she can no longer engage, her present efforts in art cannot be considered full employment. Nor can I, in good conscience, recommend a career change. Please let me know if further clarification of my views is needed." Sincerely yours, Jerome R. Dunham, i=h.D.

CRYSTALLIZING A DREAM Twenty-five people, including community government repre- tsentatives, art educators and fine arts commissioners met August 15 at Mount O1 m inlil"us Estate in North Meadowdale home of internationally known -artist d,Eiarne Johnson. "Nature is waiting for something wonderful and magical to happen tonight," said Dee Dickinson, guest speaker at the Fourth Annual Arts Round Table, co -sponsored by the Edmonds Arts Commission and d'Elaine and John Johnson. Dickinson is coordinator for New Horizons for Learning (Seattle) and Vice President of the International Association of Accelerative Learning. She explained how it is possible to teach intelligence, to humanize classrooms and to cure teacher "burn -out." She presented data that showed a good foundation in fine arts at an early age promotes creativity in all aspects of life, including math and science. Dickinson attended the Robert Schwartz and Margaret Mead, Conference on Arts, Philosophy and Science at the Terry Town Conference Center in November. "It is truly a golden time for the human race. Cultural centers are springing up throughout the United States and the world," she said. "They will be exceptional centers where people can come together to form great mosaics of under- standing to solve our teaching and learning problems." In ending her presentation she invited the entire group to join hands, form a circle on the lawn and "build a cultural center" in their minds. She placed an amethyst crystal on the lawn to help the visualization and led the group in the verbal completion of their dreams. 7-4 w 09 VI*'O J go Ttie Mmonds.

B low Executive Director cc: Dee Dickinson 00 November 16, 1983 MEMO TO: Steve Simpson, Director Parks and Recreation Department FROM:. Linda Sullivan, Landscape Designer Parks and Recreation Department SUBJECT: JOHNSON PROPERTY -- "MT. OLYMPUS ESTATES" Jerry Hauth of the Engineering Department and I met last night with d'Elaine and John Johnson at their home. The Johnsons, as you and I heard during our October 18 meet- ing with d'Elaine, are frustrated by the turnover in city staff and their unrealized dream to make a park of their home. The purpose of last night's meeting was to hear about drainage problems the Johnsons feel the city is responsible for. OUTCOME The Johnsons are angry about the sedimentation of a pond on their property as a re- sult of water draining into it from nearby property. They see the pond as critical to their concept of a future park, and they say they were promised a remedy for the problem by the city in the past. John Johnson asked Jerry if the city could clean out their pond as part of the Meadowdale Sewer Project. Jerry said he doubted that such work on private property could be included in an L.I.D. project. John Johnson said he has plenty of justification for a lawsuit, that he has already brought suit againstthe neighboring property owner, and he dropped it,on the advice of the judge, who told him he could get a better remedy if he named the city as a party. Johnson says he'll sue if he has to, but would rather not. It was agreed that he would write a letter to Public Works requesting repair of the pond, citing past promises and including relevant letters. The Johnsons apparently are asking nothing and offering nothing to Edmonds Parks and Recreation Department right now. They want their home to be a combination Camp David/Butchart Garden/Nature Preserve. The legal aspects of their ."dream" are com- plex, and they say the state attorney general is deciding whether the community college system could accept their "gift." If the state isn't interested, they may come back to us. But for the time being, Mr. Johnson advised me not to waste my time on the matter. The city does not seem to play an important role in the plan they're working on now, except to be the jurisdiction they would deal with in zon- ing and the like. However, we need to talk to Tom Nielsen, President of Edmonds Community College. He could fill in some of the blanks on this. The Johnsons did say that they hoped both you and I would do what we can to keep up to date on the Mt. Olympus project.

TERREY rExltIt'ecutive Director OIILE I has been some time since Tom Nielsen took Bill Julius and me to your beautiful h e to meet with you and becom"cquainted with the property. Since that time, we have attempted to identify the wishes`that you and your husband have with the legal issues that we would have if such a property were, in fact, -to be made available to the community colleges. These issues are fore the Assistapt Lttorney General and have been for some time. Today I called him again to find out how his analysis is going. He has a preliminary draft prepared, but he has asked for more time to check some of the legal ramifications. There seems to be quite a difference between .humane efforts which you have pre- sented and legal issues which tend to frustrate the former. This is a relatively complex issue if the needs of all the parties are to be met. Therefore, I am asking that you be patient with us a little longer. As soon as we have some legal guidance to work on, we will be back in touch with you. Again, Bill and I appreciated the time you gave us. We do have your two notebooks and are taking good care of those. I hope you are enjoying the summer. Sincerely, -& ohn N.

Mr. Johnson is aware of is s I talked to him on 9-29-81. His neighbor has remo� 'd alotf trees and his address is 15917 72nd Avenue West. Mr. Igo+i-e-r also removed some of these trees. I talked to the dispatcher at P.U.D. and he will have his supervisor look at the dangerous tree to see if they can help. In regards to Olympic View Drive, this is along the County Park and about three years ago, 20 plus trees were removed because of their leaning condition and we will continue to monitor this area.

Gordon Rosier is one of your neighbors -who is especially concerned about the danger as he observed a tree falling in front of some pedestrians.

Johnson: Your recent letter addressed to the been referred to me for answers regarding utility charge, which you refer to as the charge. AUG 21 1981 775-2525 ir: Qi Aun,i!; Water Department has the City of .Edmond's sewer consumption i art, of course, familiar with the Seattle case you re- ferred to in your letter. The situation is quite different between the City of E3ruonds and the City of Seattle. The. City of Edmonds has had a combined water/sewer system since 1953 when the water and sewer systems were combined. At that time the action was necessitated in order to finance construction of certain significant sewer mains and the sewerage treatnent plant, and other sewer betterments, because the City was so ordered to do under either federal or state order due to Pollution of Puget Sound. As you are, no doubt, aware the Lynnwood sewer treatment plant capacity is under critical re- view at the present time, and Brown's Bay is threatened with pollution which is adjacent to the Meadowdale area. As you probably also know, many years ago the City of Edmonds pur- chased some of the capacity of the Lynnwood, sewer treatment plant, but the plant apparently cannot handle the flow current- ly coming from Lynnwood, irrespective of the rights of the City of Edmonds in the capacity of the plant. Were it not for the foresightedness of the City of Edmonds, the situation currently would be much worse than it is. And the Meadowdale area would be the area most directly affected: All property owners in Edmonds, whether directly connected to the Edmonds sewerage system or not, receive substantial benefits in a cleaner Puget Sound, overall water table, storm drainage run-off, etc. Seattle made no distinction between properties that were connected and unconnected in its rate ANW ook* , Mr. John Johnson August 20, 1981 Page Two structure. Seattle charged a sewer charge based on water usage, whether or not the particular property was connected to the sewers. Although I do not pretend to have read, the entire court file in Seattle, as referenced above, I did look at what seemed the more pertinent documents at the time. I note that the plaintiffs in the Seattle cake emphasized the distinction just referenced in which Seattle charged a sewer charge based on water usage, whether or not the particular property was connected to the sewers. 4n page 3 of their legal brief to the court, it was stated: Plaintiffs thus have been required to pay charges equal to these paid by City residents whose property is connected to the Sewer system and who use compar- able amounts of water, irrespective of the fact that plaintiffs do not discharge any water or liquid waste into the City's sewage collection or treatment facil- ities. This is not the case in the City of Edmonds. In Edmonds there is no sewer service charge as such (although there origi- nally was), but instead there is a it:iji y charge at $7.80 per 2 months for those not connected to severs, and $13.70 per 2 months for those connected to sewers (City Code Section 7.30.040) . Therefore, the City rate structures recognises that all property owners in the City are benefited by the basic sewerage system, such as the sewerage system, etc., but that those directly connected to the sewerage system receive greater benefits, and, hence, are charged more. The existing system is actually available to the Meeadowdale area of the City of Edmonds. It is more a matter of Meadowdale residents beix#°;�:ereto,fore , unwilling tby:°pay � the , admitted;ly high cost of forming the necessary local improvement district to install the final system within that area. All other areas of the City have been severed by local improvement district assessments paid for by the property owners. Edmonds has gone on record numerous times, in fact even initiating an LID for the area to connect to the existing sewer system. The primary trunk system was built and designed for this specific purpose. It was my understanding that the court did not invali- date the entire Seattle sewer service charge, even though it had not been segregated between connected and unconnected users. At the time of my inquiry, the court order establishing the the class, granting motion for partied summary judgment, and 4 ANW Mr. John Johnson August 20, 1981 page Three judgment, stated in pant on page 3. Defendants may not lawfully impose upon and from members of the designated unconnected owner) class the total sewer service change has been and currently is imposed, but can only loot for beneefitsss. general ei� collect property which nd shall A-LyY reeceXvescs nY MOKOOrS Of the designatiT-crass. (Emphasis added.) At that time the court had not ruled on ghat propor- tion the Seattle $$weer service charge represented benefits re- ceived. At the moment I coo not know the final outcome of the Seattle case. As pointed out above, however, the City of Winds has a combined "utility charge", rather than a "sewer service charge" and already makes a distinction in its rate structure for Property owners that are not directly connected to the sani- tary sewerage system. In your letter yoU state you are considering organizing to file a class action against the City. If you are aware, such litigation can be very expensive. The amount in contro- versy will not really be a significantly largo figure. 1 should thank efforts and money would be better spent on try- ing to valve the sewerage situation, rather than legal attacks on the utility charges that are used in pant to miti- gatee against ail unhappy circumstance. I ass sure you are AAA. that the staff will be most ha ycrtitr re happy to kosonttAtivos, as will 1. Should you decide to secure an ; attorney, I suggest you en- courage him or her to contact the undersigned. I seriously believe that better communication will be more productive than litigations and that organizational efforts to solve the sewerage problem more productive than organizational efforts to commence litigation.

Because of her use of a universal theme about the sea in all of her paintings, she had gotten in touch with me to inquire about the possibility of her providing you with a private showing. In part, this stems from her deep admiration for you personally and commitment to the values you espouse, but I think she is also wondering how her paintings might help focus attention on the sea. I had the opportunity this week to visit a display of her work and I must confess I was overwhelmed by her talent. Each work is based on some research, biological or anthropological. Thus, behind the concept lies a story. Beyond that, however, her techniques and feelings thereby evoked are striking. When I see you next week, I should like to put this on our discussion agenda in terms of somehow or other your visiting the studio and considering any way !in which her products might be matched to TCS objectives.

City Light is developing an integrated vegetation management plan that will maintain transmis- sion line right-of-way to prevent possible interruption of electrical power transmission due to interfer- ence with energy conductors by vegetation. City Light policy is to reduce future use of herbicides in right-of-way maintenance by emphasizing an ecological approach to its vegetation management. Major questions to be consid- ered by Holton Associates is con- ducting the study will be the determination of rotation times for right-of-way maintenance and the establishment of methods to evaluate tree growth response to local soil conditions, water availability and other environmental factors. HA will use its in-house com- puter and statistical software cap- abilities to generate models of tree growth using multiple and linear regression analytical techniques. ❑ N ET F E Shearwater EIR Completed by EIP ,ERRAB,,. �niofwt p ° ,lid � ivafq o '' 9 Environmental Impact Planning Corporation (EIP) of San Francisco is completing the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on a project that proposes substantial new land uses for the former U.S. Steel/ American Bridge and G.S.A. proper- ties in the City of South San Francisco. The project, to be known as Shearwater, would be a water -oriented mixed -use community Technical Expertise Provided BCL Associates, Inc. (BCLA) of Long Beach, California, has been retained by Union Carbide Corpora- tion to provide technical experts for the cleanup of their Torrance facility. The site had been used for the manufacturing of polyethy- lene and the blending and packaging of ethylene glycol (antifreeze). When soil samples were collect- ed and analyzed, the contaminated soil was found to contain numerous compounds ranging from oil and grease to polynuclear aromatics. Since these materials were easily detected with the use of a photo ionization detection unit (PID), it was used extensively to determine the boundaries of the contamination and limit the unnecessary disposal of noncontaminated soil. The preliminary investigation indicated that the contamination was below three to five foot depths. A backhoe and a front end loader were used to remove and stockpile the topsoil L•or future backfill material. Heavy equipment was then used to excavate the contaminated by BCLA soil, which was loaded into hazard- ous waste haulers for transport to an acceptable Class I landfill. O- ver 1,800 tons of contaminated soil was identified and removed. BCLA also treated several hundred tons of additional soil on -site, thus re- ducing cleanup costs dramatically. Because of the toxicity of the contaminants, all personnel were required to :near full protection gear including full -face respirat- or, disposal tyvek clothing, rubber gloves and boots, hard hats, and safety vests. After the contaminated soils had been removed, soil samples were again collected to verify that the cleanup was complete. S1ean soil was then used to backfill the site. Soil compaction was accomplished simul- taneously to provide the best condi- tions for new construction. The future plans for this site (developed by watt Investment Properties, Inc.) include several light industrial/research/admini- stration buildings to be known as Torrance Business Park. ❑ o I � I L zx/ featuring a convention center, a first-class hotel, 500 marina berths, a yacht club, 1.5 million square feet of offices, retail shops and restaurants, and 350 residential units. A public water- front promenade and an excursion ferry system to San Francisco are also planned. The project site consists of 47 acres of dry land and 133 acres of water -covered land in the north- eastern quadrant of the city, east of the Bayshore Freeway and three miles north of San Francisco Inter- national Airport. The site offers a deep -water harbor and channel entry and a waterfront sheltered from prevailing winds. Development of Shearwater would represent a sig- nificant step in the "renaissance" of South San Francisco. EIP's study is addressing the full range of environmental issues. Project impacts on. transportation and the freeway system are critical concerns. Study team members are investigating the presence of soil and groundwater contamination at specific locations on the property. Other issues include public ser- vices and fiscal impacts, project effects on noise, hydrology and water quality, air quality, vegeta- tion and wildlife, and land use and I ompliance with local and regional plans. EIP's study is being managed by William Ziebron, Principal and director of the firm's Community Planning Division.

This summer, the City will be constructing a sidewalk and road improvements on 164th Street SW where it meets North Meadowdale Road. This project will provide improved access for vehicles and pedestrians in your neighhborhood. We will also be constructing drainage improvements and road repairs on 74t Place West where it meets Meadowdale Beach Road. At present, the City has no plans to pursue City ownership of 166th Place SW (Speed Bump Ro,�d). Si Dom" V.

Traffic on the Speed Bump Road has been increasing in both the number of vehicles and the speed at which those vehicles are traversing the road. These conditions_ are especially troublesome because, at the same time, the Speed Bump Road population is increasing in both less agile elderly residents and agile, but not particularly sensible young children. In addition, we are regularly visited by young grandchildren. The result of the coincidence of these two trends is a great deal of concern among the Speed Bump Road residents about their own safety and that of their children and grandchildren. Serious consideration is being given to placing a locked gate on the Speed Bump Road and providing limited access through the gate to the Speed Bump Road residents, emergency vehicles and commercial delivery vehicles only. While no final decision has been made, we believe it important to provide notice of this possibility to the neighborhood and provide our neighbors an opportunity to show that the road can be used in a safe and responsible manner. If you have any questions or comments regarding this issue, you may contact the undersigned at (206) 852-8552 or by email at paulrucker@comcast.net Please be assured that any decision by the Speed Bump Road residents is not being made __lightly, We appreciate and understand the opportunity that the Speed Bump Road provides as a convenience to our neighbors. We will keep the neighborhood apprised of our progress on this matter. Sincerely yours, Paul Rucker
