RE: Tree Removal and Landscape Modification Permit for the Riverton Heights Shopping Center for
(parcel #152304-9010)
L18-0049
CE18-0038
Dear Mr. Harkestad:
This letter is in follow-up to the July 11, 2018 Notice of Incompleteness letter we sent for the Tree
Removal and Landscape Modification Permit you applied for in June of 2018. Your tree permit application
was submitted in response to a code enforcement action for removal of 28 trees without first obtaining a
permit. The City of Tukwila received payment of the fines associated with tree removal in October 2018,
per the requirements of Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) 18.52.110. However, to resolve the code violation,
the remedial measures of this section must also be completed through approval of the Tree Permit.
Per our last email communication in September 2018, you requested additional time to prepare the
landscape plan and other materials needed to have a complete tree permit application. We have not yet
received any revised materials for the permit.
City staff reviewed information on the number and size of trees removed, collected by Tukwila Code
Enforcement from tree stumps on site when the violation was reported in June 2018. Of the 28 trees
removed, three were over 20 inches in diameter and twenty-five trees were between 8-20 inches in
diameter. Based on Table C (Tree Replacement Requirements) of TMC 18.52.110, a total of 174
replacement trees are required to be planted. Alternatively, if the total number of replacement trees
required cannot be accommodated on -site, you may be able to pay into the City's Tree Fund. The
current payment is $400 per replacement tree. On -site replanting is preferred over payment into the
Tree Fund.
We understand you're in the process of requesting a Development Agreement to redevelop the site
(under permit number L19-0031). The materials submitted for the Development Agreement do not
currently include a landscaping plan. However, in an effort to resolve this matter, the City may consider
allowing the trees required for site development in your landscape plan to also be counted towards
your required tree replacement numbers as part of the Development Agreement.

Your Tree Removal and Landscape Modification Permit will expire on June 15, 2019, and your case will be
referred back to Tukwila Code Enforcement if the City does not receive the additional items required for a
complete application. The remedial measures required under this Tree Permit will need to be resolved
before the Development Agreement is forwarded to Council.
