Subject. VIOLATION OF FINAL SUBDIVISION CONDITIONS FOR FILE NO_ S-05-126
Dear Mr- Nicholson and Mr. Norberg:
It has been brought to the City's attention that the conditions of your final subdivision approval pertaining to
tree removal/retention have been violated. Many trees were removed from outside of the allowed 20 foot
radius surrounding the access drive- In addition, all removal was done prior to approval of protection
measures by the Planning Division. Violation of these conditions is grounds for revoking the final subdivision
approval and requiring the subdivision process to be started over from the beginning. However, since
revoking the subdivision and going through the process again is not likely to result in any difference to the
layout of the proposal, the City has decided that fines and replanting will be required instead- Please submit
the following surveys to assist us in determining which trees were actually removed:
1. Submit a survey that clearly shows all trees over 6" in caliper that were existing before the subdivision
was approved. You do not need to show those trees that are located within the approved clearing limit
(the access drive and 20 feet surrounding it).
2- Submit a second survey that shows the current conditions of what trees over 6" in caliper are
remaining on the subject property. This may include the six trees that Steve Bullock allowed you to
remove on our visit to the site due to their hazardous conditions.
Please submit these surveys as soon as possib[e so that we may determine the required fines and replanting -
Note that the building permits you have applied for on these lots will continue to be reviewed, but cannot be
approved until this matter is addressed. If you have any questions, feel free to contact 1ne at (425) 771-0220,
extension 1224 -
Sincerely,
Development Services Department - Planning Division
