To whom it may concern:
As a representative of the Madrona Court Homeowners Association at 23713/23715 84"' Avenue West, I am
requesting permission to remove five Leyland Cypress trees from the south side of building 23715 We (the HOA)
have been informed by several arborists that they are too big for the area, have been planted too closely together
(which prevents the sun from getting to the lower branches) and planted too close to our building. They have already
caused damage to the fence that surrounds the property and the HOA is worried about the damage they will cause to
our property and the neighboring buildings.
We have also been informed by (several) arborists that the trees roots will eventually cause damage to the foundation
of the building. In addition to the problems with the fence and foundation, we anticipate that the roots will cause
damage to our utility lines and sewer pipes as the roots could infiltrate the pipes (if the shallow roots are not ground
out).
Enclosed are photos of the unsightly trees and the damage they have done to the fence. As you can see, they are very
unattractive and deter from our otherwise well manicured grounds. They have many dry branches, one tree is scalped
on the east side, other trees are leaning toward buildings/utility boxes, and one is leaning into the sidewalk. The HOA
is concerned with our liability if nothing is done.
Because the neighboring property has a full buffer and we already have a variety of plants that enhance the
appearance of the property, the HOA is hoping it will not be necessary to replant. Our neighbor's building is very
close and the area between them is quite narrow. In addition we have a lot of vegetation (trees, bushes and ground
cover) that is acting as a buffer between the sidewalks and the building.
A check is enclosed with this letter for the permit. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Rod Ellestad
Enclosure
