Good Afternoon Kyle,
Thank you for submitting your hazard tree removal request to the City of Edmonds. I have reviewed the
materials and found that the tree fits 'hazard' tree criteria per ECDC 23.10.040.F.3, as evidenced by the
submitted TRAQ form and photos. You may proceed with reducing the tree to a safe -height wildlife snag
as proposed. No permit fees are involved with hazard tree removal requests in critical areas.
The status of your request is approved; however you are required to plant replacement trees per ECDC
23.40.220.C.8.b.iv due to the critical areas on your property (see below).
W%
Two replacement trees must be planted for each tree removed (2:1) within one year. Replacement trees
may be planted at a different, nearby location if it can be determined that planting in the same location
would create a new hazard or potentially damage the critical area. Replacement trees shall be native
species and a minimum of 1-2" diameter at 4.5' for deciduous trees and a minimum of 6' in height for
evergreen trees as measured from the top of the root ball. Please contact the me when the replacement
trees have been planted so that I can schedule an inspection to verify their planting.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best,
Deb Powers I Urban Forest Planner
