Natural Features and Sensitive Areas <br />No designated "sensitive areas" are located on <br />the Phase 2 site. An Arborist came on -site, <br />identified and evaluated all existing trees. The <br />general conclusion of her report was that <br />there are very few trees that are worth saving <br />on this property. The exception on the Phase <br />2 site is the large Coast Redwood tree located <br />on the south end of Building D. We will make <br />every effort to preserve this tree if the finish <br />grades and surrounding improvements will <br />allow. If it is not possible, it is the applicant's <br />intent to harvest the and re -use the wood on- <br />site. <br />i.

Special effort has <br />been given to locating the primary Building D <br />& E entries with close proximity to the two <br />mid -block pedestrian crossings. Pedestrians <br />will also be able to comfortably connect to <br />adjacent properties by way of the public <br />sidewalks along TIB and South 144th Street. <br />The existing Transit stop located on TIB and on <br />the west side of the proposed King County <br />Library will be readily accessible for the Phase <br />2 residents and business staff. <br />k.
