Subject: Hazard Tree Removal (CRA2020-0135)
Dear Mr. Stern,
I'm sorry to hear that your Western Red Cedar needs to be removed. Like the hemlock from a
couple years ago, the cedar is located east of your house on a steep slope which leads up to
adjacent residential development. The slope is a critical area pursuant to Chapters 23.40 and
23.80 of the Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC).
Generally, the removal of trees or vegetation within a critical area or critical area buffer is not
an allowed activity unless it involves the removal of invasive species or hazard trees pursuant to
ECDC 23.40.220.C.8. Normal maintenance of vegetation is an allowed activity in critical areas.
"Normal maintenance of vegetation" is defined as "removal of shrubs/nonwoody vegetation
and trees (less than four -inch diameter at breast height) that occurs at least every other year.
Maintenance also may include tree topping that has been previously approved by the city in the
past five years." In this case, the cedar is larger than 4" DBH so tree hazard evaluation is
required.
According to the information and photos provided from Davey Tree, the cedar is dead and
therefore a candidate for removal. The tree should be left as a wildlife snag unless complete
removal is warranted to minimize the pest infestation. Replacement of two native trees for the
cedar tree being removed is shown on the site plan provided.
An exemption for tree cutting is granted with the following conditions:
1. Only the identified cedar may be cut. It must be left as a snag, if feasible.
2. Two replacement trees of a species native to the area must be installed within one year
of the tree cutting activity. Evergreen species must be a minimum of 6-feet in height
while deciduous species must be a minimum of one to two inches DBH consistent with
ECDC 23.40.220.C.8.b.iv.
3. The downed wood may be left onsite or removed.
If you have any questions, please let me know at either michael.clugston@edmondswa.gov or
425-771-0220.
Sincerely,
Mike Clugston, AICP
