Request for Fir Tree Removal
--Permit #BLD2018-0447
RE: RFI-103
To City of Edmonds/Kernen Lien,
We need to remove a 48-foot high fir tree located on the west side of the property.
The roots have been damaged and our arborist Bruce MacCoy "recommends this tree
for removal" (see attached 3-1-2019 email pdf). The tree roots are blocking the
construction of the new sidewalk on the westside of the building.
Drawings L001 and L151 prepared by Communita Atelier Landscape shows the tree
to be removed and the new trees to be planted.
We are sending attached with this cover letter the following: ISA Certified Arborist
Report, photo of the tree, and three full-sized site plan drawings (signed and stamped)
showing the tree to be removed and the replacement trees.
We are requesting approval of the tree removal. The contractor needs to pour the
concrete sidewalk to maintain the construction schedule and a prompt response
would be appreciated.
Thank you for your consideration.
e .m. MM,
Douglas McNutt

Dear Mr. Vance and Mr. Heusser,
Last Saturday , I visited with you at your construction site at 7416 212th Street, SW in Edmonds, Washington to
inspect the trees there. I've attached a site plan that I drew when I was there. The numbers in the circles represent
the trees that I inspected most closely.
The number one represents a Douglas — fir with a trunk diameter ( DBH ) of 17 inches. The roots have been cut, and
the tree has ivy on it. It's 48 feet tall and has a spread ( dripline ) of 31 feet. It has a live crown ratio of 65 % and a
health / condition rating of 65 %. I recommend this tree for removal. We discussed the possibility of retaining this tree
with a fill option , but I don't recommend that.
I am available to answer any questions anyone has regarding this report. Please contact me if I may be of any further
assistance.
