Re:Populus tremuloides
Dear Mr. Lien,
This letter follows a tree removal request submitted May 2016. You approved the removal of 2
Aspen trees and denied the removal of a third. The tree has since died and failure is imminent.
There is a large cavity less than halfway up the main stem (see attached photo). The Derrs
would like to remove the standing dead tree on their property. Can you provide approval as an
amendment to the previous exemption for tree cutting? Please advise.
Respectfully submitted,
Jennifer Wells

Jennifer,
Can you send me a photo of the dead tree, then Ill write up an approval to remove it. Also
the tree will have to be replaced at a ratio of 2:1. Please identify the replacement species
and indicate where they will be planted.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Please find the attached approval for the removal of two hazard trees on the Derr
property at 19316 Olympic View Drive. The request was for three trees, but only two
of the trees were rated as a high risk on the tree risk assessment form. Tree #1
would require a permit for removal.
A hard copy of the attached is being mailed to the Derrs.
Let me know if you have any questions.
