The arborvitae that was removed was likely installed at the time the Sunwood Condominiums were constructed, and over the years the larger maple trees which surround it have grown and shaded out the arborvitae causing it to be unhealthy. The applicant provided a landscape plan to illustrate the location where the arborvitae was removed, where the replacement trees have been planted, and how the tree replacement is consistent with the tree replacement ratios in TMC 18.54.The replacement trees were installed in an open space area to the west of the area the arborvitae was removed, in a location where there is more room for additional plantings and opportunity for the replacement trees to receive adequate sunlight. The number of replacement trees for the 5 -inch diameter arborvitae removed is a minimum of one tree. Both the Blood Good Japanese Maple and the Viridis Laceleaf Maple replacement trees meet the minimum size requirement of 2.5 -inch caliper contained in 18.54.130. The two trees planted for replacement therefore meet the replacement requirements of TMC18.54 RECOMMENDATION: Approve the removal of one tree and its replacement with two trees as shown on the planting plan submitted with the application.
