The tree is identified as a hazard based on the decay at the base of the tree. The tree has two stems measuring 18 and 28-inches DBH. The application includes a report by an ISA certified arborist explaining the hazard and includes an ISA risk assessment form. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DESIGNATION: Single Family Residential; ZONING: R-1-5; MAP: 39 1E 10 DC; TAX LOT: 602 SUBMITTAL DATE: September 8, 2020 DEEMED COMPLETE DATE: October 1, 2020 STAFF DECISION DATE: October 22, 2020 DEADLINE TO APPEAL (4:30 p.m.): November 3, 2020 FINAL DECISION DATE: November 4, 2020 APPROVAL EXPIRATION DATE: May 4, 2022 DECISION This proposal is to remove one hazard tree from the property at 1660 Parker Street. During initial conversations between staff and Table Rock Tree Service staff was under the impression that the tree was located on 1664 Parker. The property at 1664 is 0.33 acres, and because that exceeds twice the minimum lot size in the zone a tree permit is needed for removal of trees greater than six inches DBH. Review of the application materials show that the tree is in fact on the property at 1660 Parker. Because both properties are under common ownership the code considers them as a single property for the purposes of administering the Land Use Ordinance. Because the combined size of the two parcels exceeds twice the minimum required lot area for the zone a tree removal permit is required. The properties are located on the south side of Parker Street between Walker St. and Lit Way. The subject property is in the R-1-5 zoning district. Property to the north and east are also zoned R-1-5, with R-3 to the west, and commercial zoned properties to the south. The request is to remove one Siberian elm tree (ulmus pumila). The tree is identified as a hazard based on the decay at the base of the tree. The tree has two stems measuring 18 and 28-inches DBH. The application includes a report by an ISA certified arborist explaining the hazard and includes an ISA risk assessment form. The report states that the tree has had large branch failures in the past, that there is a large inclusion at the base of the two main stems. The report concludes that based on the location and severity of decay removal is the only option to mitigate the risk. The risk assessment form indicates that there a probably likelihood of failure, and the ultimate risk is categorized as `High'. The property owners propose to plant two mitigation trees that are at least two caliper inches. "TREE-2020-00125 1664 / 1660 Parker St./aa Page 1 During the public comment period staff received no input from the public. At the October regular meeting of the Tree Commission they did not have a quorum, as such they were unable to conduct business so there is no official recommendation by the Tree Commission. The criteria for a Tree Removal Permit are described in AMC Chapter 18.5.7.040.B as follows: 1. Hazard Tree. A Hazard Tree Removal Permit shall be granted if the approval authority finds that the application meets all of the following criteria, or can be made to conform through the imposition of conditions. a. The applicant must demonstrate that the condition or location of the tree presents a clear public safety hazard (i.e., likely to fall and injure persons or property) or a foreseeable danger of property damage to an existing structure or facility, and such hazard or danger cannot reasonably be alleviated by treatment, relocation, or pruning. See definition of hazard tree in part 18.6. b. The City may require the applicant to mitigate for the removal of each hazard tree pursuant to section 18.5.7.050, Such mitigation requirements shall be a condition of approval of the permit. Staff finds that Planning Action 9TREE-2020-00125, a request to remove four hazard trees, complies with all applicable City ordinances with the imposition of the conditions attached below. Therefore, Planning Action 4TREE-2020-00125 is approved. If any one or more of the following conditions are found to be invalid, for any reason whatsoever, then Planning Action #TREE-2020-00125 is denied. The following are the conditions and they are attached to the approval: 1. That all proposals of the applicant shall be conditions of approval unless otherwise specifically modified herein. 2. That two (2) mitigation trees, of a large stature, shall be planted on site within one (1) year of issuance of this decision.

This property belongs to Nancy Weston and John Toso. Located on this property, behind the back yard and directly north of their shed is a large Siberian Elm tree (Ulmus pumila). It has two main stems, one stem with a DBH of 18", and the other stem with a DBH of 28". Please refer to the attached site plan for exact location and orientation of this tree on the property. The tree also has orange flagging around the base of it for easy identification. I am requesting permission to remove this tree due to its high likelihood of failure and the high potential to damage and destroy nearby targets located on this site. This tree has had large branch failures over the past several years and poor pruning techniques that have promoted hazardous growth and decay in the main stems, compromising the health and structural integrity of it. This particular species has a strong tendency to develop excessive phototropic growth that greatly increases its potential for large branch failures as well as entire tree failurs. They also do a poor job of compartmentalizing decay caused from branch failure and stem inclusions, as well as wounds caused from large pruning cuts. These issues, combined with the naturally weak wood fibers that are characteristic of this species of tree, tend to make this a fast growing, but short lived, tree. This tree has all of these issues to the point of becoming unhealthy and hazardous. This tree has a large inclusion located at the base of it's two main stems with a progression of decay that will only continue to develop at exponential rates. This will continue to weaken the tree. The largest of these two main stems has become over -extended and leans over a shed and garden area that are consistently used by the home owners and their neighbors. The second stem is even more over- extended, and leaning heavily over a commercial lot that has plans to be developed. The lack of lower branches on these two main stems has compromised the trees natural ability to dampen wind loads creating a, "wind -sail" effect, greatly increasing the likelihood for entire tree failure. The home owner plans to plant 2 new trees in replacement of this removal. These new trees will be planted on the property in a more appropriated location. They will choose species that are less susceptible to pests and disease and will grow to an appropriate size for the available space. The new trees will be of 2" caliper or larger. It is my professional recommendation that this elm tree be removed as soon as possible. This tree has a high likelihood of failure under wind and snow loads. Two weather conditions that this area is very well known for. Because of this, I am asking that the approval of these removals be expedited so that we can mitigate this hazard as soon as possible. The proposed removal date is 9/29/2020. my information is on the next page of this report. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by phone or e-mail. Thank you very much for your help and your time with this matter. Tate Dunn B.Sc.
