Sand noted that a motion for reconsideration on a vote can only be brought by someone on the prevailing side that voted yes to appoint Mark Nelson. Sand also stated that the Council could choose to make a motion to ratify Mark Nelson’s confirmation, if they wanted it to be the final voice of the Council on this topic, but the outcome could be different. Council Member Morcos provided testament on why he believed the motion was illegal per RCW 35.63.020 and why it was inconsistent with City Council guidelines. He stated he talked to MRSC and they stated that this was done incorrectly and the motion made by the Mayor needs to be voted on. Sand agreed that procedurally the process was done incorrectly; but she reiterated her earlier comment, including Council Member Morcos’s motion being out of order. However, she noted that it was the Mayor and the City Council’s decision on how to proceed. Council Member Maffei stated his opinion that the Council already voted 4/3 and does not need to ratify Mark Nelson’s appointment and that the will of the Council has spoken. Council Member Pryde stated his opinion that the city council needs to move on. Mayor Luis acknowledged the irregularity of the vote, but confirmed that the will of the Council has spoken and ended the discussion. 4. PRESENTATIONS 4.1 None. 5.

Given the serious nature of this public health problem, we must continue to reach the millions more who need help; and WHEREAS, to help more people achieve and sustain long-term recovery, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP invite all residents of the City of Medina to participate in National Recovery Month (Recovery Month); and NOW, THEREFORE, I, Michael Luis, Mayor, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the laws of the City of Medina, do hereby proclaim the month of September 2014, as National Recovery Month in Medina, WA and call upon the people of this state to observe this month with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies to support this year’s Recovery Month. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 8th day of September, in the year two thousand fourteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two-hundred and thirty-ninth. _________________________________________________ Michael Luis, Mayor, Medina 89 90 Mental Health, Chemical Abuse and Dependency Services Division Department of Community and Human Services CNK-HS-0400 The Chinook Building 401 Fifth Avenue, Suite 400 Seattle, WA 98104 206-263-9000 206-296-0583 Fax 206-205-1634 Fax – Clinical Services 205-205-0569 TTY/TDD April 30, 2014 The Honorable Michael Luis Mayor of Medina RE: Request for a Proclamation for Recovery Month September 2014 Dear Mayor Luis: We were pleased that the City of Medina declared the month of September 2013 as National Recovery Month and would again like to thank you for your support. As a follow-up to our January “Save the Date” e-mail and letter, we are writing today to request your assistance in securing a proclamation for September 2014. The theme for this year’s Recovery Month is “Join the Voices for Recovery: Speak Up, Reach Out," which celebrates 25 years of National Recovery Month and encourages people to openly discuss – or speak up about – mental and substance use disorders and the reality of recovery. It aims to foster public understanding and acceptance of the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery from behavioral health conditions. The observance also promotes ways first responders, faith leaders, youth and young adults, and policymakers can recognize these issues and reach out to help others, as well as themselves. The purpose of Recovery Month is to promote recovery, celebrate those in treatment, and continue to educate our communities about how to overcome the barriers of stigma and discrimination. When a local government endorses Recovery Month, more people in their community are educated about the conditions of substance use disorders and mental health issues as well as the benefits that treatment and recovery support services have on our local communities and society. Recovery Month spreads the message that behavioral health is essential to health and overall wellness, and that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people with substance use and mental health issues can and do recover. People in recovery lead healthier lifestyles, both physically and emotionally, and contribute in positive ways to their communities. Throughout the years, hundreds of proclamations have been signed to support Recovery Month, including 114 issued in communities across the country in 2013. The President of the United States has signed a proclamation declaring September as Recovery Month for the past 13 years, further recognizing substance use disorders and mental health issues as conditions that need to be AGENDA ITEM 8.4 91 April 2013 Page 2 of 2 addressed, just like any other illness. Last year, the Governor of the State of Washington, the King County Executive, and Mayors of 33 cities and towns in King County each signed proclamations declaring September Recovery Month. Our goal is that every city and town in King County will celebrate the lives reclaimed and proclaim September 2014 Recovery Month. Now in its 25th year, Recovery Month also honors the treatment and recovery service providers who assist the individuals and families with recovery. King County Mental Health, Chemical Abuse and Dependency Services Division (MHCADSD) contracts with service providers who deliver substance abuse and mental health services throughout King County, and we recognize their valuable contributions. Each September, thousands of treatment and recovery programs and services around the country celebrate the recovery successes and share them with their neighbors, friends, and colleagues in an effort to educate the public about recovery, how it works, for whom, and why. There are millions of Americans whose lives have been transformed through recovery. These successes often go unnoticed by the broader population, therefore Recovery Month provides a vehicle to acknowledge and celebrate these accomplishments. As part of our efforts to celebrate Recovery Month in September, King County MHCADSD is sponsoring the fourth Annual Recovery and Resiliency Conference. We would like you to join us in recognizing Recovery Month by issuing a proclamation. We have attached for you to review two sample proclamations (traditional and modern versions) and have also included a link to the National Recovery Month website for further information. We are available to present additional information or testimony if that would be helpful. Please inform us if you intend to issue a proclamation, or if you have any questions about Recovery Month, by contacting Cheryl Goluch by e-mail at cheryl.goluch@kingcounty.gov or phone at 206-263-9111. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Grumbach, AICP Date: September 8, 2014 Subject: Policy Direction on Tree Code BACKGROUND: To support the second phase of the Medina Tree Code update, the city conducted an inventory and analysis of the tree coverage and a community outreach program to seek public input. The results from the inventory show that Medina’s tree coverage is around 32.2 percent (excluding the SR 520), and that the canopy has decreased from the 36 percent shown in 2001. That is a 10.6 percent decline. The inventory also shows the composition of the coverage consists of about 52.5 percent coniferous evergreens and 47.5 percent deciduous or broadleaf evergreens. The results from the public outreach program indicated an overwhelming support for property rights and property owners wanting to have choices about how to manage trees on their property. In reviewing the comments, the primary concern seems to be that the code is too limiting on giving property owners choices. The public comments shared at council meetings previously focused on the replacement planting requirements and the requirements for the contributions to the Medina Tree Fund in lieu of replacement plantings. It is worth noting that this concern about limiting choices was similar to what we heard during the shoreline master program update. BROADER POLICY QUESTIONS: General: At the beginning of the community outreach process, we asked a simple question: Is the Medina Tree Code still on track on how we manage trees? Although there are a wide range of opinions about the tree code, the majority of people indicated that they did not feel the tree code was on track. 117 ATTACHMENT 1 2 To decide what track we should be on, it is important to have clear policy direction on what it is we want the tree code to accomplish. One of the challenges with the current code as written is that it lists 14 purpose statements that are expressions of policy. However, the policy statements cover a wide range of objectives and have no overall unifying theme. This makes it difficult to know whether regulations that currently favors preserving large evergreens and a few deciduous trees implements what was intended with these policies, or to allow us to focus on what should be changed so the tree code is on track with how the community wants to manage trees. Policy Discussion: The following are policy questions for the city council to discuss and provide guidance. The intent of these questions is to provide direction supporting possible code amendments to the tree code. 1. Policy Question: Should trees continue to be an integral part of the city’s informal character? DISCUSSION: The Medina Comprehensive Plan establishes a goal (CD-G2) “To retain Medina’s distinctive and informal neighborhood development pattern.” The comprehensive plan discusses this by stating that “Trees and vegetation help reduce the impact of development by providing significant aesthetic and environmental benefits.” Included in the discussion is that citizens should be sensitive to the impact that altering or placing trees may have on neighboring properties as they can disrupt existing and potential vies and access to sun. The City’s arterial street rights-of-way should be heavily landscaped with predominantly native trees and shrubs arranged in an informal manner. SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTION: Should the City continue to have a tree code? DISCUSSION: Relating to the question about whether trees should continue to be an integral part of the city’s informal character is whether the city should continue to have a tree code at all. If the answer is no, action should be to repeal the Medina Tree Code. If the answer is yes to continue having a tree code, then additional policy questions should be answered about the tree code and potential changes. 2. Policy Question: Should the tree code continue to apply to both the right-of-way and private property? DISCUSSION: The Medina Comprehensive Plan Landscape Plan focuses on historic trees and plantings in restricted right-of-way areas due to wires and views. These are located along major roadways of the city. The look and feel of the streetscape along major roadways typically defines the character of the community. However, the rights-of-way cover only about 10 percent of the land area of the city (excluding SR 520), which means such purpose statements as “preserving and maintaining the 118 ATTACHMENT 1 3 existing tree canopy” and other purpose statements dealing with storm water, nature, and development practices listed in MMC 20.52.010 would no longer apply. Tree code ordinances typically are categorized as either a Tree Protection Ordinance or a Street Tree Ordinance. Tree protection ordinances primarily provide protection for native trees or trees with historical significance. They usually require that a permit be obtained before protected trees can be removed, encroached upon, or in some cases pruned. A street tree ordinance primarily covers planting and removal of trees within public rights-of-way. They include tree-planting requirements. Medina’s current tree code includes elements of both. 3. Policy Question: What is the overall goal we want to accomplish with the tree code? DISCUSSION: One of the challenges with the current tree code is that while it lists 14 purpose statements, it does not appear to have an overall unifying goal. Prior to 2003, the purpose expressed in the tree regulations was to retain significant trees in connection with property development. The present code evolved from this origin and the question about what we want to accomplish is the key policy question if we want to have a tree code. Additionally, having an overall goal is helpful because it helps the public understand the reason for the regulations and allows better monitoring to determine if the regulations are working as intended. SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS: The following questions add-on and are intended to clarify the scope of the overall goal. • Should the tree code regulations continue to focus on just the large trees and the mitigation requirements; or • Should the tree code be broadened to focus on the community’s urban forest and sylvan character as a whole; or • Should the tree code focus on something else? One of the paradoxes of the current tree code is that while it aims to preserve larger trees, its reliance on financial disincentives means it is more of a replanting ordinance than a protection ordinance. Additionally, it is a legitimate concern that as trees grow larger, they can become increasingly a nuisance to nearby structures. Relating to the question about the scope of the tree code: • Should we continue to focus primarily on evergreens, or should we include more deciduous tree species. The City’s tree coverage is about 52 percent coniferous evergreens and 48 percent deciduous types of tree species. Only about 35 percent of the native to 119 ATTACHMENT 1 4 the Puget Sound region deciduous tree species are included in the tree code. There are at least eleven other deciduous tree species not included in the Medina tree code. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES POLICY QUESTIONS: Depending on the policy direction from above, the following are strategies and follow-up policy questions relating to possible implementing regulations. 1. Establish performance standards. This should connect to the policy question of what is the overall goal we want to accomplish with the tree code. For example: • If we want to focus on large trees, we might establish performance standards such as requiring a minimum percentage of large trees to be preserved. • If we want to focus on the broader urban forest, we might establish a minimum tree landscape requirement such as minimum tree canopy coverage or minimum tree density requirements. DISCUSSION: Performance standards that correlate directly with the overall goal will ensure that the purpose of the tree code is being accomplished. The current tree code uses a mitigation approach to tree removal. This means we look at each tree individually regardless of what else is on the property. A performance standard approach sets minimum requirements for the property as a whole and looks at the tree removal in terms of meeting the performance standard. If the property is delinquent in meeting the performance standard, more plantings are required. If the property exceeds meeting the performance standard, plantings are not required. SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS: • Establish a timeframe. Because trees grow, performance standards should have a timeframe under which they are evaluated. For example, if we want to require replacement of a removed tree, how should we judge the replacement – based on what the tree is today, what it might grow too in 5 years, 10 years, etc. • Establish the parameters of the performance standard. What trees should be included. Noting permit requirements, should the performance standards include 4-inch diameter, 6-inch diameter, 10-inch diameter trees, etc.? Additionally, what species should be included? This should correlate to implementing the overall goal. 2. Establish when the performance standards apply. DISCUSSION: It is common in many jurisdictions to establish minimum landscaping requirements with new development. 120 ATTACHMENT 1 5 SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS: • Establish thresholds. Should the performance standards apply to all situations or should it apply to new development and re-development only? • Establish a timeframe for the thresholds if a development standard is used. Because trees might be removed prior to and even post development, a timeframe to count trees towards the development performance standards is necessary to avoid a loophole. Currently the tree code has a two and three year timeframe before and after development occurs to count tree removals as under development. 3. Establish performance standards when threshold requirements do not apply. DISCUSSION: This should correlate to implementing the overall goal of the tree code. While the majority of tree removals happen with development, trees are removed when no development is occurring as well. SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS: • Do we want to have performance standards for tree removals when a property is not under development? DISCUSSION: Performance standards for tree removal when a property is not under development might focus on what is lost rather than meeting certain tree landscape requirements. In the alternative, if the overall goal of the tree code supports not requiring replacement, that is an option as well. An example of this approach would be that if we used tree density as a performance standard, we might require a tree removal on a property not under development to replace the lost tree density on a one to one ratio, or some other ratio, depending on the overall goal of the tree code. If we wanted to create flexibility, we might offer a choice between meeting prescriptive standards described above, or a descriptive standard that would connect to the minimum tree-landscaping requirement for properties under development. The idea is that a property exceeding the performance standards for tree landscaping could remove some trees without having to meet the lost tree density requirements. 4. Do we want to establish landmark trees? DISCUSSION: Although there are no longer regulations relating to this, the Medina Comprehensive Plan Landscape Plan shows the location of historical trees within the street right-of-way. Although the category considerations are slightly different, 121 ATTACHMENT 1 6 these trees have an extra degree of protection because they are considered to have special value to the community. They are only removed under specific conditions. SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTIONS: • What criteria shall be used to designate landmark trees? • Would the designation of landmark trees be mandatory or voluntary? DISCUSSION: Removal of landmark trees might only be allowed with a hazard or nuisance tree designation. Relating to this is whether replacement might be required and what these requirements might be. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: 1. Depending on the overall policies goals established above, if the scope of the tree code was expanded such as counting more sizes and species of trees towards meeting established tree-landscaping requirements, this means the requirements for permits also expands. If the “scope of the tree code on what counts” and the “what requires a permit” do not align, it would force the city into using more costly investigative enforcement actions to determine compliance. It could also run counter to meeting the goals of what the tree code is intended to accomplish. However, if prescriptive standards were adopted and we continue to allow for administrative tree removal permits, the issuance of these permits can remain relatively easy and quick. Currently, review times on administrative tree removal permit applications that are complete takes only a few days to a week to finish. 2. The caliper size and height of replacement trees should be re-evaluated. The science suggests that planting 1.5-inch to 2-inch caliper trees are preferred to planting 3-inch and 4-inch caliper trees. A bigger tree size replacement is not necessarily better long term because smaller trees usually adapt better to their new environment. Additionally, the 3-inch and 4-inch caliper trees are much more difficult to find and have fewer species selections. 3. The hazard rating method should be updated to TRAQ. If the tree code shifts to a minimum tree-landscaping standard, then the role of a hazard rating is greatly diminished. This is because you still have to meet the minimum requirements regardless of the soundness of the tree. Where the hazard rating is important is when a tree is not allowed to be removed, except under certain conditions. The tree code today makes those conditions expensive replacement requirements. A minimum tree-landscaping standard allows the flexibility for any trees to be removed as long as the minimum standard in the end is met. 4. The Medina Comprehensive Plan has a policy against clear-cutting of property prior to development (CD-P6). If a minimum tree-landscaping standard was adopted, it 122 ATTACHMENT 1 7 may be preferable to establish standards requiring a certain percentage of existing trees to be retained through the end of development. 123 124     Tre CIT Prepa Prepa e e Can TY OF       ared for:  Attn: Rob P.O. Box 1 Medina, W   ared by:  opy A MEDIN bert Grumba 144  WA 98039  Printed on 3 ssessm NA ach      30% recycled m ent M d paper.   Medina Elementary 2014     ATTACHMENT 2 125 City of Medina Tree Canopy Assessment Tree Canopy Assessment   Tree Canopy Assessment for the City of Medina  August 2014.      The Watershed Company Reference Number: 140513      Project Staff:  Grace Bergman, GIS Analyst/Landscape Designer  Mike Foster, ISA Certified Arborist®/ Ecologist                                              Cite this document as Medina Tree Canopy Assessment   ATTACHMENT 2 126 The Watershed Company August 2014 i Table of Contents Page # 1 Introduction ..........................................................................................1  2 Methodology ........................................................................................2  3 Findings ................................................................................................6  4 Discussion ............................................................................................8  5 2002 Medina Tree Inventory Report ................................................ 11 6 Reference .......................................................................................... 12 ATTACHMENT 2 127 City of Medina Tree Canopy Assessment Tree Canopy Assessment List of Figures Figure 1.

baseline measurement of the tree canopy in the City; (2) distinguish between two canopy  types (i.e., broadleaf versus coniferous as shown in Table 1); and (3) allow for tracking of  canopy coverage changes over time.    Table 1:  Categories of trees with examples that make up the urban tree canopy in  the City of Medina.    Evergreen Deciduous Broadleaf Pacific madrone, southern

Several methodologies were considered for analyzing the area and makeup of the canopy in  the City.  The objective of the inventory was to develop an accurate and repeatable method of  measuring urban tree canopy that is suitable for the scale and land‐cover characteristics of the  study area.  Color‐infrared and multi‐spectral imagery analysis has been used to rapidly  calculate canopy cover in larger and highly urbanized cities like New York and Seattle (Grove,  OʹNeil‐Dunne, Pelletier, Nowak, & Walton, 2006).  However, these methods do not easily  distinguish between tree types in suburban landscapes with mixed species and age, and  overlapping tree stands, and are somewhat costly.  Aerial orthoimagery analysis paired with  ground‐truthing has been used in Portland and, in a more recent study, Seattle (Ciecko,  Tenneson, Dilley, & Wolf, 2012).  The method of collecting preliminary canopy cover data  through “heads‐up digitization”1 allows analysts to quantify and qualify complete citywide  canopy efficiently according to the parameters of the study.  Further, the abundance of recent  and historical geo‐referenced aerial imagery enables coverage comparisons using the same  assessment framework and classification.  Digitized data was then selectively ground‐truthed  by an ISA Certified Arborist.      2.1 STUDY AREA    All land areas inside the jurisdictional boundaries of the City were considered for this study  (see Figure 1).  Due to the size of the city and quality of the orthoimagery, 100 percent of the  land area was reviewed and analyzed using a heads‐up digitalization method.  _________________

Assessment 4  Where tree canopy overlapped between evergreen and deciduous species types, the  GIS analysts estimated a separation line so that no double counting of the tree canopy  occurred.       Areas of hard surfaces, open water, structures, bare ground, lawn, small shrubs, and  small manicured landscape trees were excluded from the counting of tree canopy.  The  small manicured landscape trees are primarily topiary trees – rows of evergreen trees  trimmed in the shape of a hedge such as Leyland cypress or Portuguese/ English  laurel.       The GIS analysts tagged grids containing area obstructed by sun shadow or orthoimagery  post‐processing distortion for follow‐up.  A total of 4,263 square grids were analyzed of which  147 square grids were identified requiring follow‐up field verification by an ISA Certified  Arborist.  Of the 147 square grids, 99 of them were accessible from public streets and parking  areas.  These grid sites were visited by the arborist and a GIS analyst who clarified  discrepancies in the orthoimagery.  The remaining 48 grids were not accessible by the arborist  or GIS analyst due to trees being located on private properties or due to fences or other  barriers.  These square grids were re‐analyzed by a different GIS analyst using the same  orthoimagery and the results from the second analysis were compared with the original  analysis to produce a conclusion.      Once canopy coverage and composition data were revised based on field input and secondary  analysis, individual square grid values are multiplied by respective square grid area and  summed to provide the City total canopy area by type.      2.2.2 LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT BASELINE ANALYSIS:      As with any remote sensing and rapid assessment method, a margin of error exists due to  data limitations and interpretation. Some detail is lost through rounding data to the size class  (as shown in Figure 2).  It should be noted that since a sampling method was not employed,  no regression modeling was run to determine a numeric margin of error.  One sampling year  was assessed for this study.  Shadows cast from tall objects including tall conifers due to the  angle of the sun at the time the image was taken obscures some of the data.  Although the  field inspection has verified most of the areas in question, grids that are inaccessible, such as  those located away from public areas or on private property, were not rectified in the field.      Additionally, the analysis was performed two years after the flight date of the orthoimagery  by King County, thus discrepancies between current conditions and those depicted in the  orthoimagery, such as vegetation pruning or removal, should allow for some error.            ATTACHMENT 2 132

The 2001 tree canopy analysis was conducted using the “National Land Cover Database Zone  01 Tree Canopy Layer” (NLCD) created by a consortium of federal agencies including the U.S.  Geological Survey (USGS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),  the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture  (USDA), the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), the National Park Service (NPS), the U.S. Fish and  Wildlife Service (FWS), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the USDA Natural  Resources Conservation Service (NRCS).  NLCD analysis captured thermal signatures of tree  canopies by zones (Zone 01 is western Washington State) using Landsat 7 imagery at 30‐meter  unit.  A percentage of the preliminary data was validated using 1‐meter orthoimagery.  Based  on the margin of error produced by the 1‐meter validation, a regression model was run to  validate the assessment.  Classification accuracy is estimated at 84.3 – 86.4 percent (NLCD  publication).      The geographical boundaries of the City of Medina require evaluation of ten 30‐meter units.   Each unit has its own values so the summarization of that data in this study is representative  of Medina.          2.2.4 LIMITATIONS OF NLCD:     Limitations of the 2001 tree canopy analysis can be found at the Multi‐Resolution Land

In sum, the City contains 287.72 acres +/‐ of tree canopy in April 2012.  That is 31.9 percent of  the total land area mapped by GIS.  Of the total tree canopy, 52.5 percent was determined to  be coniferous evergreen tree coverage consisting mostly of native Douglas‐fir, western red‐ cedar and to a lesser extent some western hemlock and non‐native to Puget Sound redwood,  Deodar cedar, Atlas cedar, and Leyland cypress.      The remaining 47.5 percent of the tree canopy is either deciduous or broadleaf evergreen in  composition.  Deciduous tree taxa in the city are much more diverse than the evergreen  conifers.  Some of the recurring deciduous tree species include the southern magnolia, bigleaf  maple, red maple, Norway maple, European birch, red alder, landscape cherry trees,  sweetgum and so on.  The tables below summarize the results.      Table 2:  2012 Tree Canopy Inside City Boundaries

over time.  In response to tree clearing caused by new development, significant amendments  to the Medina Tree Code were adopted in 2000, 2003 and 2006.  To assess how the tree canopy  today compares to the conditions at the time of these amendments, 2001 data was reviewed.   The tables below summarize the results.       Table 5:  2001 NLCD Tree Canopy Inside City Boundaries

and understory strata.  Much of the City tree canopy, however, is composed of individual  landscape trees or large retained individual trees from past stands.  The City’s tree canopy is as diverse in its structure as it is in its biological variety.  Tall stands  of trees with developed sub‐canopies and understory layers characterize some of the parks  and parcels within the City (see Table 2).  Other parts of the urban tree canopy are formed by  singular trees contained in parking lots or within planting strips along avenues.  Much of the  tree canopy, especially in the single‐family residential areas, is a mix of tall, medium and  shorter landscape species.  Many of the tall conifer trees are likely remnant stands or  individual trees that have been preserved.    ATTACHMENT 2 135 City of Medina Tree Canopy Assessment 8 Table 7: Examples of typical tree heights within the City of Medina  Strata Tree Height Species

The Chapter 3: Community Design Element of the Comprehensive Plan discusses trees in‐ depth as a design characteristic of the community.  The chapter states:    “The quality of Medinaʹs neighborhood development is distinct and enhanced by a  combination of natural and built features, including:   proximity of the lake shore,   views,   narrow streets with extensive mature landscaping, and   large tracts of public and private open space that can be seen from residential lots  and City streets.    Trees and vegetation help reduce the impact of development, by providing significant  aesthetic and environmental benefits. Trees and other forms of landscaping improve air  quality, water quality, and soil stability. They provide limited wildlife habitat and reduce  stress associated with urban life by providing visual and noise barriers between the Cityʹs  streets and private property and between neighboring properties. They also have great  aesthetic value and significant landscaping, including mature trees, is always associated  with well‐designed communities.   It is important that citizens be sensitive to the impact that altering or placing trees may  have on neighboring properties. Trees can disrupt existing and potential views and access  to sun. Residents are urged to consult with the City and with their neighbors on both  removal and replacement of trees and tree groupings. This will help to protect views and to  prevent potential problems (e.g., removal of an important tree or planting a living fence).  Clear cutting should not be permitted on a property prior to development.”    Furthermore, the comprehensive plan contains design characteristics of a landscape plan that  states the following:    ATTACHMENT 2 136 The Watershed Company August 2014 9 “The Medina Landscape Plan lists landscaping alternatives to perpetuate the informal,  natural appearance of Medinaʹs street rights‐of‐way, public areas, and the adjacent por‐ tions of private property. The Landscape Plan provides the overall framework for the  improvement goals and should be reviewed periodically and updated where appropriate.  This plan should be used to create landscaping arrangements, which meet the following  goals:   provide a diversity of plant species;   screen development from City streets and from neighboring properties;   respect the scale and nature of plantings in the immediate vicinity;   recognize restrictions imposed by overhead wires, sidewalks, and street  intersections;   recognize “historical” view corridors; and   maintain the Cityʹs informal, natural appearance.     4.2 TREE CANOPY COMPARISONS    According to studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest  Department (USDA), an estimated 35.1 percent of land areas classified as urban in the United  States contain tree coverage (USDA Report NRS‐62, June 2010).  The coverage includes all  publicly and privately owned trees within an urban area – including individual trees along  streets and backyards, as well as standards of remnant forest (Norwak 2001, USDA Report).   The City of Medina, in 2001 had 35.9 percent tree coverage (including SR 520), which was  slightly above the national estimate.  However, in 2012, Medina’s tree coverage was 31.9  percent, which is below the estimated national average.        The following summarizes the tree canopy coverage3 gathered on other Washington State  communities and shows where Medina’s tree canopy in 2012 compares.       Hunts Point 57% (2010)  Winslow, Bainbridge Island 42.0% (2006)  Mercer Island 41.0% (2006)  Covington 37.0% (2012)

While there appears to be no national recommended goals for urban tree canopies, the Society  of American Foresters has recommended for cities east of the Mississippi River tree canopy  goals of 40 percent overall and 50 percent for suburban residential.  Several cities in  Washington State have adopted tree canopy goals summarized as follows:        Hunts Point:    60%    Winslow    35.0%    Bellevue    40.0% citywide, 50% suburban residential    Kirkland    40.0%    Seattle    30.0%    4.3 MEDINA’S TREE CANOPY       In reviewing the findings, between 2001 and 2012, the City lost about 36 acres of tree canopy  coverage or 3.99 percent.  If we exclude the SR 520 right‐of‐way, the loss is about 35 acres or  3.8 percent.  The loss of coverage occurred despite the significant disincentives for removing  larger trees in the tree code.  There are likely multiple factors affecting tree canopy coverage in  the city.      At the top of this list is re‐development.  From the beginning of 2004 through the end of 2012,  about 104 building permits for new single‐family homes were issued.  Since the City is built‐ out with few empty buildable lots, the trend towards re‐development is to demolish the  existing home and replacing it with a larger home.  This trend towards larger homes has been  supported by changes in the zoning code such as the 2008 amendment that went from using  net land area to gross land area to calculate the limits on structural coverage.  If an average  Medina lot size of 20,989 square feet is applied, an estimated 50.11 acres of residential  properties were involved in redevelopment during this period.  It should be noted that re‐ development is where the majority of tree removal permits are also required.         Other possible contributing factors could be gaps in the tree code regulations themselves.  For  example:     Trees located within a building footprint that are less than 36 inches in diameter breast  height are exempt from replacement requirements.  This means re‐development is  increasingly replacing green space with hardscape with no accounting for this loss.       After replacement trees are planted, the replacement trees are required to be preserved  only for two years afterward.  This means years three and onward, until the tree  reaches 20 inches diameter breast height, there are no requirements to preserve the  tree.    ATTACHMENT 2 138 The Watershed Company August 2014 11  The 20‐inch diameter breast height threshold means many tree removals are not  required to be mitigated through replanting.  A Douglas‐fir tree with a 20‐inch  diameter breast height is about 60 to 80 years old.  (Note: forest trees tend to grow  thinner than urban trees, but urban conditions such as inadequate soils, damage and  topping can slow the growth rate down of a tree.)     The Medina significant tree species list contains only six deciduous trees as significant  tree species deserving mitigation for removal for those trees reaching the size to be  designated a significant tree.  There are at least eleven other deciduous tree species  native to the Puget Sound region that are not required to be preserved because they  are not on the list.  Yet, the city’s tree canopy coverage is about 47 percent deciduous.         Many of the deciduous tree species on the significant tree species list, such as the  Pacific Dogwood, the Vine Maple or the Western Hazelnut do not reach a significant  size in an urban residential context and therefore do not meet the requirements for  when removal would trigger requirements for mitigation.       Further contributing to the deciduous tree species limitations is the fact that the  availability of 3‐inch caliper deciduous trees is primarily limited to the Vine Maples  and Pacific Dogwood along with similar variations.  Replacement trees such as the  hazelnut, native cherry or Oregon ash are not regularly available in 3‐inch caliper and  therefore are rarely replanted for mitigation purposes.      5 2002 Tree Inventory Report  In 2002, the city conducted a tree inventory of significant trees 24 inches in diameter and  greater on both public and private property.  The study area covered properties north of SR  520 and totaled 111 properties (about 10 percent of the city lots).  The inventory was  conducted using a different method than contained in this report.  After providing notice,  data collectors went to the field and conducted physical inventories of individual properties.   The data collectors identified the targeted trees and GPS was used to record their location.   Although the inventory did include trees slightly smaller than the 24‐inch diameter trees  being targeted, the inventory was reflect of the efforts back then to focus on larger trees.      The results of the inventory found 690 trees over 19 inches in diameter.  Of the 690 trees  inventoried, 27 percent were 19 – 23 diameter inches; 35 percent were 24 – 29 diameter inches;  17 percent were 30 – 35 diameter inches; 13 percent were 36 – 41 diameter inches; and 8  percent were 42 diameter inches and larger.  The makeup of the trees found 83 percent were  coniferous – of these 62 percent of the coniferous trees were cedars, 30 percent were firs, and  the remaining consisted of larch, pine, redwood and sequoia trees.  The inventory also noted  that 71 percent of the identified trees were in good health, 22 percent in fair health, and 5  percent were in poor health.  (Otak report 2002)    While there were further plans to inventory the rest of the community, this did not occur.       ATTACHMENT 2 139 City of Medina Tree Canopy Assessment 12 Because the 2002 Tree Inventory Report used a significantly different method of inventory, it  would be difficult to draw a direct correlation between the 2002 report and this report so this  discussion of the 2002 Tree Inventory Report is provided for historical purposes only.    ATTACHMENT 2

Grumbach, AICP Date: September 8, 2014 Subject: Results from Tree Questionnaire The following is the results from the tree questionnaire. We received 210 completed questionnaires as of September 2, 2014 (about 7 percent return). The written comments received were consolidated into one document and are attached. 1. What importance do these trees play in your overall view of Medina? Percent Selected a) These trees are very important. These trees should be protected, as we will never get them back; unless there is an immediate safety threat some trees should never be allowed to be taken down even if someone wants to pay a large amount for their removal. 7.6% b) These trees are very important to our quality of life. More importance should be placed on keeping our tree canopy. Those who want to take these trees down should have to plant or pay a lot to replace them. 6.2% c) These trees are important. We should do whatever we can to educate people about their importance, but not require so much for taking them down. If you have a good reason for taking a tree down, then paying for replacements seems fair. 7.6% d) These trees add to our quality of life. However, we do not have to protect every one of them. Some of these trees could be removed without having to compensate for them. 26.7% e) These trees are important. However, the value of being able to do what I want with trees on my own property is more important. We should not have to pay fees and we should not have to plant replacement trees unless we want too. 51.9% 2. Do you have any of the trees mentioned above on your property? Percent Selected  Yes 68.1%  No 23.7%  Not Sure 8.2% 3. Have you ever read or had direct experience with the Medina tree code? Percent Selected  Yes 83.3%  No 16.7% ATTACHMENT 3 147 4. Do you agree with the current tree code policy? Percent Selected  Yes 3.4%  Mostly yes, but there should be some trees that are never taken down, unless for safety concerns 7.7%  Mostly yes, but the replacement or payment requirements are too strong 14.5%  No 14.5%  Mostly no, but I agree with the idea of maintaining as many trees as we can without stepping on individual property rights 23.7%  Mostly no, but I think trees add a lot to our quality of life, I just don’t think this needs to be regulated 36.2% 5. What would you say if you were writing the policy on how we should manage trees in Medina? Please briefly explain what you think we should do and why. Percent Selected  Provided written comments 62.4% 6. What best describes how you feel about the current tree canopy (the coverage of land by trees and tree foliage) in Medina? Percent Selected  Not as good as it could be 7.4%  Just right 14.2%  We could live with fewer trees and not lose our quality of living here 43.6%  We could live with a lot fewer trees and still have a great quality of life here 30.9%  Other (please explain): 3.9% 7. Who should be responsible for preserving Medina’s tree canopy? More than one answer allowed*. Percent Selected  Everyone should be asked to contribute to Medina’s tree canopy, but the cost to preserve it should come from those who take down trees 21.5%  Heavily wooded properties should be allowed to remove some trees without penalties 29.3%  Everyone should contribute to Medina’s tree canopy, but properties with few trees should be required to increase the number of trees on their property if they make significant changes to their site 7.8%  Property owners should be required to preserve trees that carry great significance, even if it requires them to carry the burden of preserving the tree 10.2%  Property owners should decide for themselves whether they want to contribute to Medina’s tree coverage 68.3% *Note: the percentages are calculated based on the number of people who responded and not the total number of boxes checked 8. Are there any other suggestions or information you would like to offer? Percent Selected  Provided written response 63.3% ATTACHMENT 3 148 9. Which of the following best describes you? Percent Selected  Medina resident and property owner 97.9%  Medina resident 2.6%  Medina property owner 3.6%  None of the above 0.5% 10. If this is not your first time completing this questionnaire, can you tell us what answers have changed and why Percent Selected  Not the first time completing the questionnaire 1.9% ATTACHMENT 3 149 1    City of Medina  2014 Tree Policy Outreach  Comment Summary thru 8.15.14    1. Q5: For trees 5-10" DBH located on single-family residential properties: it should be relatively easy to take down two of these trees per calendar year, and normally there would be no mitigation required (City should retain right to require mitigation if significant impact). For dead trees and trees that are cracked, split, leaning or physically damaged to the degree that it is clear that the tree is likely to fall and injure persons or property and where pruning will not alleviate the hazard, there should be a relatively easy process and less mitigation than required for trees removed for construction or landscaping. For trees 5" DBH or greater that are on property other than single- family residential (ie, parks, public ROW, other city land, other non-residential land), or for trees on single-family residential larger than 10" DBH (or if they want to remove more than two per year), removal should only be allowed for approved landscaping or development plans, and only if the applicant can show there will be no significant negative impact on erosion, soil stability, flow of surface waters, protection of adjacent trees, or existing windbreaks, and will have no significant negative impact on the character, aesthetics or property values of the nearby neighbors or neighborhood, and the removal cannot be solely or primarily to provide or enhance views; also, the applicant should show that there are no other reasonable alternatives, and the City can require alternate site plans, construction plans and landscaping plans that incorporate the existing trees-- and, in all cases, there should be mitigation. Finally, there should be a process for establishing Heritage Trees that would be subject to additional protections; a Heritage Tree on private property could be designated by or with the consent of the property owner, and a Heritage Tree on city property could be nominated by any citizen and submitted to tree advisory board or parks board for recommendation to City staff or Council. Q6: It worries me that even with a fairly protective tree code we had a net loss of canopy. One of the benefits of living in Medina is the abundance of trees in the city- we live in an urban forest. Street trees beautify the City and soften the built landscape. Trees in parks and natural areas provide shade and wildlife habitat. Trees in our neighborhoods impart a sense of place and connection to the natural world. The urban forest as a whole adds to the livability and desirability of the community. Trees are essential to the urban ecosystem, cleaning our air, helping rainfall infiltrate, cooling buildings and streets, and absorbing city noise. (Text borrowed from Lake Oswego, but readily applicable to Medina.) Q8: You might take a look at Lake Oswego’s Code for alternate ideas. Also, the Morton Arboretum near Chicago published this comprehensive article, which might have some good resources: http://www.cmap.illinois.gov/documents/10180/61012/Urban-forestry-strategy_11-08- 2010.pdf/79f31e83-dd2d-4bd7-ad4b-a3969bbf5f20 2. Q5: Allow property right of freedom to keep safe of their property and allow the remove trees without heavy mitigation and charges. Not to have new tree code to be in conflict of zoning ordinance of Chapter in views and sunlight. Allow hazardous score of above 7 to be removed. Q6: I agree that public property can be high density and being taking care by the city. Residents paid >million dollars should have a right to manage their trees and take out trees for safety and nuisance reasons without mitigation. Q8: Let people take down trees for safety without requiring mitigation. To prevent falling, fire and lightening are very important. 3. Q5: Everyone's idea of landscaping is different. Some may favor a harsh tree code but actually do not object to shrubs and small trees. I don't think there is a consensus that Medina should be a forest with a few log cabins hidden within the forest. Particularly with removal of small numbers of trees, homeowners should be able to decide which trees are a problem and be able to remove a ATTACHMENT 3 150 2    small number without a permit. Letting the city know what trees they removed within 90 days of removing the tree is ok, as long the process is not expensive. The limit could be 3-4 trees where no permits would be needed. Q8: The alternative to allowing a small number of trees to be removed without a permit could be a very long and detailed tree code that details several possible reasons (such as foundation damage, obstructing a solar panel, damaging a driveway, etc.). However, there is a risk that the city council will not be able to predict every valid circumstance to removal of a tree.   4. Q5: I think property owners should have the final say in how they develop their property. Sometimes large trees made sense and sometimes they don't. I think the fees charges are ridiculous and only the wealthy can even afford to pay them. I think if you specify exactly what trees are important and why, then we'd be open to hear that, but the code as it is too complicated and far to expensive for homeowners. Q8: I wanted one tree taken down because it obstructed my view of the lake. It cost far too much money and time to do this. The requirements are crazy and the mitigation is even crazier. I had to plant 9 trees to take down the one. I think in the future I’d make sure I didn’t have big trees because you make it so hard to change.   5. Q5:  Allow homeowners to make their own decisions about trees on their property.    6. Q5: Why stop at trees? Why not tell property owners what plants and flowers they can and cannot have and where those shall be or cannot placed?   Q6: We have a whole bunch of overgrown trees that are breaking sidewalks, driveways, and probably also foundations. If a neighbor refuses to chop down a tree because of the tree code, is he responsible when my driveway cracks or the city? What about when my foundation cracks? Q8:  The founding principles of this country are built on the rights of individuals to do what they  want when it doesn’t affect their neighbors. DO not make this into a socialist city.     7. Q5:  Agree that the rules must be written to deter removal of large older trees.    8. Q5:  The property owner and their wishes/intentions are the primary guidance. Maybe require  notification posting process to neighbors on adjoining lands for comment and collaboration only.  Exceptions may apply:  right of way for city needs, view restrictions and covenants apply, any  safety issues. Fines/penalties would only apply to violation of exceptions.     9. Q5:  A policy should just be an encouragement about the value we place on trees. This is not a  neighborhood with strict CC&Rs. We should not be dictating what people can and can’t do on  their private property so long as it doesn’t create a nuisance for neighbors.     Q6:  Some trees here are TOO mature and pose a risk. We have roots that are uprooting sidewalks  and driveways, and possibly causing damage to foundations that people don’t even know about. If  it is demonstrated that someone didn’t take down a tree because of the policy and that causes  structural damage to a house, the city may be responsible for the damage.    Q8:  The city should be in the business of ensuring safety and providing services. Not dictating how  we should live our lives – that should be up to our own individual conscience.        ATTACHMENT 3 151 3    10. Q5:  The city could lower the mitigation payment somewhat for removal of large evergreen trees,  but the fee should not be lowered so much that these trees are not sufficiently protected.  For  properties under development or more likely redevelopment, the threat of loss of these large  trees is greater. Here the mitigation requirement should not be lowered at all and there should be  an absolute limit to the number of large trees that can be removed on any project, regardless of  payment.     Q8:  The large evergreen trees are very important to the appearance of Medina just as they are to  Hunts Point. They must be preserved. If cut down, they cannot be replaced in our lifetimes. A  property owner or developer should have to think long and hard before removing them and the  best way to cause that to happen is with a stiff monetary cost.     11. No comments.    12. Q5:  A property owner should be allowed to remove a tree if he/she explains the reason:  blocking  view, too much shade, hard to manage; needles and cones causing property problems, roots  disrupting driveway. There should be a fee if there is no reason whatsoever.     Q8:  I don’t see how a monetary fee helps the tree canopy. Planting other trees could help but  paying a large sum doesn’t make any sense. There are some trees that really poorly affect living on  that specific property.      13. Q5:  Permits and mediation are too costly. Some consideration should be given to the unintended  consequences when we require too many trees to be planted to replace just one tree.    Q8:  We should not allow Leland Cyprus to be planted. They are used to develop a fence that is  higher than any allowed; they develop too much shade on their neighbors yards.    14. Q5:  Regulations around determining if a tree is a public safety hazard is a little onerous on  property owners; paying arborist to inspect a tree yearly until the tree meets town’s criteria for a  damaged tree can be costly; if arborist determines that the tree has a limited number of years left  or will never recover to a healthy specimen, property owner should be allowed to remove tree.    Q8:  Not sure what you mean by heavily wooded properties, are there that many in Medina?     15. Q8:  There should be 2 different tree codes. One for residents who have been here for 15 to 20  years. The other for new residents and the ones who are just here for less than 10 years.     16. Q8:  People aren’t spending $1m+ for property with the idea of devaluing it; respect their rights.    17. No comments.    18. No comments.    19. Q5:  At first, I thought the tree code was good, but recently I read it in detail and talked with  people. The code is long and complicated. It adds costs where, in some cases, people should be  able to simply cut down a tree. There is no evidence that people hate trees and will flatten  everything n sight if there’s not a complex tree code.   ATTACHMENT 3 152 4      Q8:  Make a less complex tree code. Amend the tree code so that a tree code only applies if you  are cutting down 5 trees or more. That will regulate developers, which is what most people are  concerned with.      20. Q5:  Owners should be able to do what they want with the trees on their property and in their  right of way. Neighbors should be encouraged to work together to protect views. City of Medina  should eliminate their overbearing viewpoints regarding trees.    Q6:  The current tree policy is overbearing and burdensome to owners and government. We pay  high prices for our properties, have endured height restrictions in order to preserve views, but  then the tree policy doesn’t coordinate with the preservation of views. IT actually works to  eliminate views. It needs to be changed.    Q8:  Get out of the tree preservation business.     21. Q8:  I purchased my home 9 years ago and I would like to remove some trees that have overgrown  and outlived their usefulness. I would like to make the landscaping mine and not have to live with  the plants that the previous owners planted. The trees are shading the lawn, flowerbeds and are  scraggly and unsightly. If I could remove some, I believe that my landscaping would improve the  look of my property and increase the value of the home.     22. Q5 & Q8:  Memo made to Tree Committee on 6/30/14:      PERMIT REQUIREMENTS:  Permit requirements to be maintained for all protected trees. Protected  trees defined as all evergreen trees greater than 20” DBH (excludes Leyland Cypress) and for all  evergreen trees greater than 10” DBH for properties under development as well as select  deciduous trees. Would not require a permit for removal of evergreen trees under 20” DBH on  properties not under development.    TREE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS/MITIGATION‐PROPERTIES NOT UNDER CONSTRUCTION:  The goal is to provide a level of protection for Medina’s large conifers and select deciduous trees  that provides a meaningful disincentive to removal, but is not prohibitive and allows flexibility for  the homeowners.   ‐ Two (2) replacement trees for each protected tree removed.  ‐ The caliper of the replacement tree be 3”.  ‐ The replacement trees become protected trees per the Beaux Arts Village code.  ‐ Required contribution to the Medina Tree Fund for each protected tree removed:   Contribution calculated on 100% of the diameter inches of the removed tree. Eliminate the  sliding scale currently calculated on 125% and 200% of the diameter inches as tree size  increases. This will simplify the replacement requirement and be more easily understood.  $200 per diameter inch of removed protected tree up to 36” DBH.   ‐ Limitation on removal of protected trees:  No more than two (2) protected trees may be  removed in a five year period. This restriction balances the lowering of the replacement  requirements above and should prevent excessive protected tree removal. It also allows the  established homeowner flexibility in managing trees on his/her property.    TREE REPLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS/MITIGATION‐PROPERTIES UNDER CONSTRUCTION:  ATTACHMENT 3 153 5    ‐ The risk of numerous significant tree removals is high.  ‐ The mitigation requirements including the required contribution to Medina Tree Fund might  not seem significant in relation to the costs of land development.  ‐ Consider increasing the fee for significant tree removal greater than 20” DBH during  development or redevelopment to $400 per diameter inch plus the two tree replacement  requirement. Consider limiting the removal of significant trees greater than 20” that are  outside the building footprint, in light of previous finding that only 12% of significant tree  removals during construction were trees within the building footprint.    LANDMARK TREES:  ‐ Suggest defining as a protected evergreen tree greater than 36” DBH.  ‐ Increase replacement requirement significantly in an effort to protect these trees.  ‐ Consider $400 per diameter inch of removed tree plus the replacement requirement of two  trees as above.    HAZARDOUG TREES:  ‐ Would not change the established nationally recognized definition.  ‐ The replacement adjustments above should permit a homeowner with a tree that does not  reach the 11 or 12 hazard level to remove the tree if the homeowner is truly concerned.  ‐ Tree evaluation to be carried out by the Certified City Arborist for consistency and fairness to  all.    23. Q5:  While I agree that trees enhance quality of life, so does sunlight, open spaces, views. In  addition, smaller, more manageable trees can provide better improvements in the quality of an  outdoor space than large trees where the canopy is well above eye level.    Q6:  Large trees are not the only contributors to quality of life. Each individual has different  opinions on what brings improved outdoor quality. Smaller trees, sunlight, views, open space can  be equally important. Each individual should have the ability to decide what he/she wants on his  property.     Q8:  If regulations are considered for trees then equal weight should be given for regulations  promoting open space (i.e., tree free space), sunlight.     24. Q5:  I think individuals should be able to decide what they want to plant or cut down on their own  property. People should be able to have sunshine rather than having large trees block their  sunshine if they prefer it to the shade from these large trees. I also think people should be able to  make their own choices regarding their own trees because many of these large trees may pose a  safety hazard during bad storms. If people do not want large trees right next to their home, then  they should be able to make their own decision about that to do with their own property.     Q8:  I think that there should also be a law to protect people’s view and people’s sunlight on their  own property. For example, Clyde Hill has laws to protect their view. A person cannot plant a large  tree and have it grow to obstruct another neighbor’s view. It is the same thing with obstructing a  neighbor’s sunlight. Please make sure when you write or update the tree laws that you take this  into consideration.      25. Duplicate of #24 above.  ATTACHMENT 3 154 6    26. Q5:  I have been told that the tree code is a result of the owner of a blue house on Evergreen Point  Road cutting down a lot of trees 20 years ago. I believe that such action would be extremely rare.  The tree code creates unnecessary barriers and grief. (The intro says that Medina’s tree code has  met its objectives. I doubt that frustration and high cost is the city’s objectives. If it is, something is  very wrong with the city.).     Q8:  The tree code should be abolished for a test period of 3‐5 years. If people really want some  kind tree code, then abolish the tree code if you cut down fewer than 3‐4 trees. After a 3‐5 year  period, there can be a re‐evaluation to see if Medina looks like downtown Seattle. I doubt it will  look any different from today, except some trees will be taller.    27. No comments.    28. Q5:  Loosen up the code substantially. I have witnessed a previous councilwoman expressing the  opinion that anyone caught cutting down a tree should be put in jail. That seemed to be the type  of mindset that put these current measures in place. The Medina tree code could be the basis for  a great Saturday Night Live skit.     Q8:  Re‐write the code to eliminate most of the current restrictions.     29. Q5:  While trees are important, the citizens of Medina are fully capable of making decisions with  respect to trees on their property. The city should not regulate or restrict its citizens with respect  to the management of trees on the property of its citizens.    30. Q5:  Property owners should be able to decide on their own how and when to manage trees on  their own property. While trees are important, the citizens of Medina are fully capable of making  decisions with respect to trees on their property.     Q6:  Reading over Phase One Tree Code Update is taking a right step to compromise on both sides  of this issue. Current tree code is too restrictive on property owners.    Q8:  City of Medina should have property casualty liability if it chooses to regulate trees on  personal property.       31. Q5:  They want to build an 80 ft. cell phone tower. The reason is because trees have grown too  talk hurting reception. This is evidence that trees (at least the result of the Medina tree code) has  resulted in a worse quality of life. If this continues, we will need a dozen cell phone towers to  combat the trees. The tree code should be eliminated for 5 years and see if the town becomes one  concrete mass. I believe it will not. If it does, the tree code can be written again.     Q6:  See above. The defacto restrictions on tree removal have resulted in cell phone companies  wanting to build tall towers. I used to be for the tree code until I learned that the restrictive tree  code has caused a worse quality of life by causing the cell phone companies to want to build more  towers because of trees. Recently, I’ve also heard of the problems it gives homeowners. The city  government is supposed to help people or be neutral, not be against people.     ATTACHMENT 3 155 7    Q8:  Other cities that don’t have such a silly code are not barren of trees. People who live here are  not going to cut down trees. If you want to, you can give an annual award at Medina Days for  someone who planted a lot of trees on their property.    32. Q5:  Let’s promote the idea of having as many trees as we can without stepping on individual  property rights.    33. No comments.    34. No comments.    35. Q5:  Much more individual freedom not only for removal of hazardous trees, but also trees that  are highly undesirable like the ones destroying driveway and foundation, and also blocking  sunlight and views. I can handle a possible replacement policy, but not replacing with huge  expensive tree.     Q6:  I love trees. They don’t have to be massive blocking out the sun. I should have some rights  over what I want on my property and not have someone else who may or may not have trees on  their property telling me I have to have trees on my property. No matter what, we will always  have plenty of trees here.    Q8:  Very, very minimal regulation is ok, but the current system is highly regulated, very punitive,  restrictive, pick your adjective, I strong oppose it. We can’t afford to remove trees with the high  penalties while someone with more $ can remove all they want it seems. Damaging my  property/driveway?  It should be simple to remove it. I live in fear of some others crashing into the  house.    36. Q5:  Have a study done of the existing tree canopy by a professional tree expert, and review the  existing code to see if it supports the sustainability of our natural sylvan character and  environment. Then develop policies that are supported by science and/or best management  practices to maintain the health of our trees and the character of our city.     Q6:  I like the existing tree canopy, but feel that it could be distributed more evenly around the  city and not put the onus on those property owners that have heavily wooded sites. I feel we  could have a better balance of wooded and open areas that achieve the goals of the city, balance  rules and property rights, and not have onerous penalties for taking down trees in already heavily  wooded sites.    Q8:  Our tree code should be tweaked to recognize and balance property rights, view and sunlight  issues and maintaining Medina’s unique sylvan character and all citizens should be responsible to  sustaining our tree canopy either monetarily, by planting more trees, or?     37. No comments.    38. Q5:  Safety should come first. If a tree needs to be removed before it falls and harms someone or  causes property damage, then there should be no penalty for removing it.    ATTACHMENT 3 156 8    39. Q5:  We don’t want clear cutting, but selected tree removal should be up to the property owner. If  you want trees, grow them on your own property or move to Bridle Trails and live in its dark cave.  The Seattle area is dark enough as it is in Nov‐March.    40. Q5:  Need to better differentiate for sub‐standard lots.     41. No comments.    42. Q6:  Tree canopy should not be at the expense of property owners.    43. Q5:  Remove the tree assessment process entirely; replace it with tree codes of max removal of 2  trees per year, with no fees. Or adopt Bellevue, Clyde Hill tree codes.    Q6:  The trees are over population, which does not provide the healthy growing environmental  they need, nor does it provide the quality of life the citizens want.     44. Q5:  Healthy old growth trees should be protected. Past planted Developer/poorly grouped tree &  now overgrowth landscaping/non‐native trees should be allowed to be removed with no city  charges or replacement required. Safety is an issue and overgrowth is a big problem in Medina  with too many rotting overgrown moss causing instances that need to be addressed.    45. Q5 & Q8:  We like the policy as now written. Approval by Medina’s arborist should continue to be  required, but perhaps loosen the “safety/risk” benchmark for approval to 9 or 10 points instead of  11‐12 points. People who remove trees for safety reasons are different than removing them to  build bigger houses, put in more asphalt, etc.     46. Q5:  Remove the fees completely. Dramatically reduce the replacement requirement.     47. Q5:  I love trees, but safety and protection of property should trump “tree rights”. Citizens should  be encouraged to have trees on their property. However, unless specific trees are truly  irreplaceable, government has no place in trampling over property rights.    48. Q5:  Some large native trees have taken decades or more to reach their mature size and  appearance; they are essentially irreplaceable and removal of such trees should be very limited  (public safety, threat to integrity of existing home, etc.) However, the current code seems to  include smaller trees that may even be considered weeds in other context; it should be less  onerous to remove those trees than it is to remove a majestic big old tree.     Q6:  We moved here in part for the semi‐rural feeling that the many large trees provide.    Q8:  People can and should learn the limits of developing a particular piece of property before  they acquire it. Tree codes are only part of that process, and they are an important part in the  preservation of the unique character and high property values of this city. Property buyers in  Medina are reasonably sophisticated and relatively wealthy. Such buyers are not overly burdened  by requirements that the value of trees that pre‐date their arrival in the neighborhood be  considered in their renovation plans.     ATTACHMENT 3 157 9    49. Q5:  What is the price for preventing injury or property damage for your family? I should be  allowed to remove potentially dangerous trees.    50. Q5:  Significant trees shall not be removed until they are causing damage to the houses. Significant  trees take years to row and cannot be simply replaced by young trees. We shall try our best to  preserve them.     Q8:  Trees made Medina. No trees, no Medina.      51. Q5:  I own and manage Crystal Mountain ski area and therefore manage 5,135 acres of forest land.  Trees need to be able to be managed by homeowners as needed. Hazard trees need removal  quickly and without fees. IMPROVE city’s initial landscape plan oversight. Many owners have NO  IDEA what and where they are planting trees (redwoods 20 feet apart) or the eventual coverage.  My neighbor planted way too many trees—an unhealthy jungle and now at 86 is unable to  manage them age or cost wise. How does a 1:1 replacement solve this? Go case by case so forest  coverage, safety and aesthetic are account for. As always under heavily restrictive policy using  fees as the tool, it favors wealthy who can afford to pay to do what they want. Do we really see,  non‐statistically, a difference in tree cover in Medina vs. Bellevue? Unfortunately, I don’t.     Q6:  Some lots are overgrown, some not; lots of inappropriate trees for a given lot. I don’t see a  material difference in feel for the tree clover in Medina vs. other surrounding towns. I think that’s  a final judgment of the current policy. As a lakeside community views of the lake are of value and  part of the quality=to trees.    Q8:  As mentioned, I manage a large area of heavy forest. Medina’s trees need case by case  management. I appreciate the aggressive commitment to trees here; however, we have  residential lots that NEED a lot of trees removed without any replacement at all. Aesthetically, it’s  a lakeside community, lake views are my personal priority over trees. A closed jungle with no open  view is not what I want. What I personally notice on my many walks thru the community is the  oppressively large hedges which property have more view blocking influence on the community  feel than anything and are apparently not covered by any codes at all.     52. Q5:  Homeowners need to maintain some, but not all, of the significant trees on their property.  Homeowners should be able to trade significant trees for other natural mitigation, such as  removing bulkheads. Monetary penalties only favor the wealthy citizens.    53. Q5:  Start over. Trees grow. These trees are not that old. I planted some myself that I cannot cut  down now.     54. Q5:  I would be opposed to “clear cutting” a property. However, the current code is onerous and it  prevents a citizen with modest means from caring for their property and the safety of their family  and neighbors.     55. Q5:  Trees are an inherent part of one’s individual property rights and should be maintained at the  owner’s discretion with the best interest of aesthetics and value to nature.    Q6:  There is WAY TOO MUCH emphasis on Medina being an “Arbor City” and the quantity of trees  without value to the quality of the trees that surround us. Many of our city’s trees, especially on  ATTACHMENT 3 158 10    Overlake Drive are overgrown and unsightly. Healthy and happy trees = healthy and happy  residents.     56. No comments.    57. Q5:  Limit city code activity to publicly‐owned land lonely. Private property rights are important.    58. No comments.    59. Q5:  I respect Medina residents. The ones I have known are smart, caring and love the quality of  life that includes the trees. Study the codes of the neighboring towns. There are just as caring folks  living there as there are in Medina – and see how they manage with their less restrictive rules.  Please also note that the replacement costs appear outrageous and please realize that not all folks  in Medina are rich.    60. Q8:  I am proud to be living in Medina area for the trees here. Without those trees, Medina is no  longer Medina. I feel my heart crying when I see neighboring cities cutting down their significant  trees, and I don’t want to see that happen here.    61. Q6:  Removing all the dying poplars (?) along 84th really changed the feel of that boulevard. That is  the type of canopy we want to strive for.     Q8:  The second box in number 7 is ambiguous since “Some” trees is open to opinion regarding  how many is too many.    62. No comments.    63. Q5:  A property owner should be able to plant or take down any trees they choose without  penalty or oversight by the city.     Q8:  Let the property owners decide how many trees they would like on their property as long as  the property is taken care of.     64. No comments.    65. No comments.    66. Q5:  Allow removal of large trees that cause a nuisance (huge amounts of leaves on roofs for  example). Don’t favor certain species or certain types of trees (for example, large evergreens).  Encourage lots of greenery and green spaces, but not necessarily large trees.     Q6:  I like trees but don’t think large evergreens are very suitable for residential areas, and  especially not right next to houses. Not particularly attractive and cause dangers and nuisance.     Q8:  Simplify the code. Use positive incentives instead of negative ones.     ATTACHMENT 3 159 11    67. Q5:  I would encourage residents to have trees and maintain them consistent with the overall goal  of maintaining the value of their property. Homeowners will not do unnecessary harm to their  trees because trees properly placed and maintained enhance the value of the property.     Q6:  I like trees. People are planting them all the time. Some parts of Medina are a bit overloaded  with big trees. For example, my neighbor planted a lot of trees 25 years ago. Now they are very  large and are far more than the privacy screen it intended. Many should be taken down and  others trimmed. He should have the option to do what is best without a lot of extra cost and red  tape.     68. Q5:  Trees which are dead, dying or a potential danger to humans or property can be removed.     Q6:  The current canopy restriction is too oppressive and unrealistic; i.e., cotton woods or other  “voluntary” trees.    69. No comments.    70. No comments.    71. Q6:  It’s not so much if we have the “right level” of canopy; I do believe it to be subjective  depending on the needs and requests – example of which is noted in Question 8.     Q8:  We live on 84th Avenue today, but before we lived on Overlake Drive East and had (still there)  a Redwood on our property whose roots were breaking up part of our house foundation – as  much as LOVE trees, situations like these should allow residents to take action without penalty.     72. Q5:  A property owner should be able to manage their own property without huge fines being  imposed. If trees are causing a problem…too crowded, affecting the roadway, etc., it should be OK  to deal with them without having to pay or replant.     73. Q5:  We should make property purchasers aware of the tree code up front. People are buying  property with a view to cutting large trees and should know they cannot do this.     Q6:  I love the feeling of the trees in the city. I live on Evergreen Point Road and love the trees  along the road.    74. Q5:  There is no public interest in private property trees, except in the event of safety or impact on  neighboring properties. Some people move to Medina because of the views of water. The city  should not reduce the value of those properties by making it more difficult for property owners to  remove trees.    Q6:  This is a city. IT’s not a park.    Q8:This is not a socialist or community country. Medina is a residential area and not a park. The  tree code is appearing to become too onerous on property owners and will cost Medina more  money to try to enforce. If the city wants to promote canopy, it should do so in its parks and right‐ of‐ways – not by tying a noose around property owners.      ATTACHMENT 3 160 12    75. Q5:  Trees within the public right‐of‐way are public property and the city may regulate the  maintenance and removal of these trees as it sees fit; provided, however, the city shall be strictly  liable for any damages resulting from their failure to maintain trees in the right‐of‐way. Trees on  private property belong to the property owner and the property owner should be free to maintain  or remove these trees as they see fit. When property is redeveloped, the city may reasonably  regulate landscaping requirements relative to development impacts, including the trees.     Q8:  Incentives (e.g., tax incentives, development credits, expedited permitting) are often better  means to promote a designed outcome than regulations. Also, in this area, native trees grow  quickly and you might find that regulation that promotes the planting of more (but smaller  inexpensive trees) will keep our city green for future generations. Finally, any restrictions on tree  removal applied to private property owners should also be applied to the City, with few if any  exceptions.     76. Q5:  Trees on my property should be within my own control. Also, there should be valid reasons  for removing trees, either for safety or risk of damage to general/excessive unnecessary home  maintenance (ex., gutter clogging, fallen branches risking other property damage).     77. No comments.    78. Q8:  If preserving trees is a community goal, the community should pay for it also.      79. Q5:  Property owners should have the power to do what they want on their own property without  any interference or penalties levied against them.     Q6:  Quality of life is in the eye of the beholder, having trees or not will not determine ones quality  of life.     Q8:   Property owners should also have the choice of whether they want to add or remove trees  on their own property. Furthermore, the size of trees on personal property and whether to  remove it should be the decision of only the property owner. They should also have the choice of  whether or not they want to contribute to public gardens.    80. Q5:  Let me do what I want with my trees.     Q8:  What is going to be done about the cottonwood infestation?    81. Q5 & Q8:  Our lot is heavily wooded. We have a sick tree whose trunk is so soft that the tree  trimming people will not climb it. However, it is not sick enough to warrant taking down without  penalty, even though it is right next to our driveway. If we were to take it down, right now we’d  have to plant thirty 3 inch diameter trees. We have so many trees on our lot already; we don’t  have room to plant 30 more! I would like the code to reflect some kind of credit for lots with many  old‐growth trees like we have.       82. Q5:  Stop at pre‐1990 code. Leave private property alone. It is very expensive to buy a home/lot in  this town. Owners should be trusted to invest with their own tastes and wisely. I was on the  council prior to 1990 and we were NOT willing to go onto private property. I am at a loss to see  ATTACHMENT 3 161 13    the timeline making no (explicit) mention of the fact that unless a deciduous tree is a northwest  native you do NOT need a permit to remove it.    Q6:  I have lived in this area since 1949. The great views so many loved are mostly gone. Trees  grow fast in this area. Good sense says owners deserve to be trusted for their plant decisions.The  home on Evergreen Point that started the whole restrictive tree issues in 1990 cannot be seen  today. They planted trees!    Q5:  Who is to decide what tree carries “great significance”? Nearly every tree in Medina and  beyond was cut by 1910. While a big tree may be admired by a passerby or neighbor, they aren’t  paying for the shaded and viewless lot the owner is forced to content with. Right‐of‐way is the city  property; but this too should be allowed to be landscaped in a way complimentary to the adjacent  property owner’s wishes. Property owners pay a lot to live here, trust them    83. Q6:  The Medina Code recognizes the value and propriety of maintaining a property’s historical  view. Trees naturally grow, and take way those views over time. It should be permitted and  encouraged that such trees be removed, or “windowed” as necessary to preserve the views. The  growth of such trees is evident in the historical aerial photos located in the City Hall library.    84. Q5:  Its beautiful tree canopy is one of Medina’s unique and desirable characteristics. Its tree code  should include meaningful disincentives to removal of significant trees. “Disincentive” is a relative  term in a community with many wealth citizens; for some no amount would be too high. The  growing number of “spec” homes with loss of canopy is also concerning. If there is demonstrated  demand for change in mitigation, perhaps we should consider a sliding scale based on property tax  or percentage of the property’s current tree canopy. Otherwise, the current mitigation guidelines  may be working for the majority and should remain as they are.     Q6:  When visitors come to Medina, they always comment on how beautiful it is and how private  it feels. In many ways, it is as if you have left the urban region. It is our tree canopy that makes  that impression.     Q8:  Any changes to the tree code should be thoroughly studied and weighed regarding  unforeseen consequences. Replacement of significant trees requires a generation of growth. Trees  help us save energy, improve the quality of the air we breathe, stabilize our soils, provide  protection from winds and increase the value of our properties.       85. Q5:  The code should mostly remain unchanged. However, mitigation should be substantial, but  proportional (e.g., fines as a percentage of annual property tax, existing tree density on the lot, lot  size). The diameter specifications should remain unchanged, and there should continue to be a  deterrent to removal of larger and old‐growth trees. Replacement requirements should take into  consideration potential for long‐term overgrowth.    Q6:  No changes to the tree code should be made that would ultimately result in reduction in the  total canopy.     Q8:  We might consider a “bank” for tree credits, similar to the carbon‐trading tax. Heavily  wooded lots could use their credits down to a certain level before fines are imposed; sparsely‐ ATTACHMENT 3 162 14    covered lots would have to mitigate or “pay into the bank” for large tree removal. Total canopy  could thereby be preserved.     86. Q5:  There needs to be a consistent, explicit tree code for land being affected by new  development or new additions or remodeling which impact trees on the property. However, there  needs to be a simple, less onerous, more flexible code for current residents and established  homes. The current one is too complicated, too costly and too unmanageable for both residents  and city employees. It is costly enough to remove a tree without having large permit fees and such  high mitigation costs as under current code.     Q6:  Many homes in Medina have older, established trees that may need removing or trimming.  Driving around town, there seems to be a lot of trees. Perhaps attention should be paid to  removal of nuisances, i.e., cottonwoods that are a mess and not stable.    87. Q5:  It’s up to the property owner to do what he or she thinks is the right thing to do, no  regulations.    88. No comments.    89. Q5:  Trees and greenery are important, but so is individual lifestyle, choice and views. I do not  believe there are trees in Medina that are first growth. All have been replanted. Some are native  varieties, most are not. But, all can be replaced as well. The important should not be on just native  evergreens and height. Consideration should be made for trees or foliage that add greenery, but  may not add height or can be easily maintained at a reasonable height. We live in Medina Heights,  which has a considerably shorter building height restriction supposedly to protect views from our  homes. But still we are held to the same tree regulations which promote large evergreen trees  that remove our view every year. Many neighbors in and below Medina Heights are more than will  to cooperate with each other to help maintain views by trimming or removing overgrown trees.  But Medina’s process is so difficult, expensive and laborious that the trees blocking views get  larger every year. Consideration should be made for tree removal and extensive trimming for  views in and below Medina Heights. Trimming is a brief band‐aid which lasts about 1 year with the  large evergreens though. Clyde Hill has addressed removal and extensive trimming of trees that  block views. The approach they have taken is certainly more reasonable from both the city and  homeowner’s perspective.     90. Q5:  As a responsible citizen of Medina and a taxpayer, I feel I have the right to cut trees and  replace them as I choose to enhance the beauty of my property.    91. Q5:  The policy is too strict and favors the city of Medina while placing unfair restrictions on  homeowners’ rights. It places an undue economic hardship on the homeowner – mitigation  standards are excessive. The policy should be more in line with the policies of other local towns.    Q6:  I do not think homeowners are going to rush out and deforest their property with a change in  policy. Current policy makes it nearly impossible to modify one’s property without having to  replant a forest or pay excessive fees to the city of Medina.     ATTACHMENT 3 163 15    Q8:  Please listen to your citizens and consider the fair policies of cities in our area. I love trees but  consider the current policy completely one‐sided, unfair and primarily benefiting the City of  Medina.      92. No comments.    93. Q5:  First, I would try to get agreement on what the vision is for the community. Sylvan or  suburban? I believe that the vision as expressed in the Comp Plan and the current tree code is  “sylvan” but as our community is changing perhaps the vision is changing. Second, assuming the  community still supports a sylvan environment, I would try to write a code that would give people  valuable incentives to preserve and/or plant trees. Currently, there is a sense that the tree code is  punitive. Judging from the sound of chainsaws on the weekends, people are choosing not to  comply. Could it be that the more onerous provisions of the current tree code are actually creating  a disincentive to compliance? Third, if I were unable to devise a workable scheme of incentives, I  would nevertheless redraft the current tree code to make it less burdensome on homeowners.  Reducing the required payments into the tree fund and/or the number of replacement  trees/inches for mitigation might be a place to start. Finally, as much as I support property rights  and would like to believe that tree preservation may be left up to individual pretty owners and  they will “do the right thing” – sadly, what I have seen happen in Medina over almost 30 years  suggests otherwise.     Q6:  Looking at the aerial photographs of Medina over the years there is no denying that we are  losing tree canopy from decade to decade (post‐forming era).    Q8:  I have sense that there is a “rush to judgment” regarding the current tree regarding the  current tree code and a lot of pressure on the City to make changes to it right away. I think the  tree code could definitely be improved but it may need more in‐depth analysis and study, as well  as expert advice as to what the likely consequences are of the proposed changes. It seems  unrealistic to think a revised tree code can be hammered out in a few meetings or over the course  of a summer. My suggestion would be to remain calm under the pressure and proceed in a  deliberate and methodical fashion to craft a well‐balanced and environmentally responsible tree  code, no matter how long it takes.      94. Q5:  Trees are nice but the current code is so punitive that it makes it impossible to follow.     95. Q5:  Give the people back their property rights, your land, your trees.    96. Q5:  Simply follow Clyde Hill and no code necessary.    97. Q5:  Fees should not be attracted to the process. If a homeowner wants to have a tree taken  down, it is his/her decision.     98. Q5:  I think that trees that are diseased or dangerous should be removed without consequence or  penalty to property owner. For other trees that need to be removed for increased view or sunlight  or development, I feel that the fees charged should be in line with our neighbors – Hunts Point,  Clyde Hill, etc.    ATTACHMENT 3 164 16    Q8:  I think that a survey should not be slanted. A. 7 above does not adequately provide all  options.     99. Q5:  Large trees whose roots help hold high banks are more important to protect than trees on  level ground. However, owners of high‐bank property should be able to en enjoy their views.  Where a large tree obstructs a view but also stabilizes a bank, it is fair that bank owners pay for  alternate methods of bank stabilization.     100. Q5:  Process shouldn’t be as time consuming or expensive. People should be encouraged to keep  trees if they are healthy and not a safety risk but there needs to be reasonable exceptions to  policy.    101. Q5:  We should consult the tree codes in Hunts Point, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point and similar  residential areas in Seattle like Washington Park and Madison Park and a draft a tree code similar  to the ones in those communities. The rights of homeowners to provide a safe and pleasant home  environment with plenty of light in our dark climate should be paramount.     Q6:  Trees grown quickly here and many evergreens in our community are 80‐100 years old, and  are now too large for the spaces they were planted in originally. Sensible management and  replacement of overly large trees is a good idea. Trees can be an asset to a community but not  when they become too dense and large, which make it seem as if we are living in a forest setting.    Q8:  People who live in Medina are thoughtful, educated and environmentally conscious. They can  be trusted to preserve the natural beauty of Medina without heavy regulation from the City and  exorbitant fees.    102. No comments.    103. Q5:  If there are very strong safety or well‐being of the tree and/or neighboring tree reasons,  taking down a tree should not be impaired with undue costs and other restrictions.    104. Q5:  Mitigation costs are too high and there should be no mitigation cost for diseased trees  (definition of diseased trees needs lightening up down to 8 or 9). Replacement requirements are  ridiculous – some trees should be replaced but not at the current requirements – having to plant  so many trees to replace one is impractical on most properties.     105. No comments.    106. Q5:  1) There should not be any mitigation fees for removing trees. 2) For really good trees ((such  as very rare species trees), we require owner to plant at least 2 replacements in their own  properties or public properties or other home properties (upon the other homeowner  agreement).    Q6:  The mitigation fee part has gone too far for people to afford it. I believe 99% people love  trees and do not intend to remove them if there is no issue. We can require people to plant more  tress, but planting 50+ trees while removing one tree sounds not right to me.    ATTACHMENT 3 165 17    Q8:  We can have a tree planting day for the city, to have people volunteer for planting trees on  the park, side of road, etc.     107. Q5:  What, and start a riot?    108. Q5:  Require 2 replacement trees (of smaller size) for every tree larger than 10 inches take down.  Require saving existing large trees during new construction unless under the footprint of the new  house.     Q6:  New construction has taken out more trees than necessary and done too few replacements.    109. Q5:  Trees on private property are private property not public property. We should have the right  to remove, plant, or rearrange our landscape without governmental oversight and large fines. I  believe that the current policy places the city in a situation where they could be liable to large  fines that all of us would have to pay. Your current policy would encourage me to cut young trees  so they do not create a potential future liability and for me not to plant trees. If you have a policy  you would like the citizens to participate in, you should use incentives (as most governmental  policies do) and not taxes and penalties.Your current policy basically states that you cannot trust  the citizens to make the correct choices on what trees they want to keep or remove. But you trust  them to elect you! I believe that you will have a very nice tree canopy without stepping on  individual rights and letting your citizens make the decision themselves. If you don’t trust your  citizens to make the “correct” decision, then require a minimum number of trees (i.e., board feet)  per acre. Then let the citizens decide where they want the trees and which ones represent a  liability to their family or their neighbors.     Q6:  I don’t believe this is a fair question. The current law does not address the desired canopy; it  just addresses the fine for removing trees. You also don’t have any idea of what the canopy would  be if the citizens had a free choice as opposed to fines plus required behavior. The choice is not  really more or less trees, but rather do we have a free choice of what kind of trees we can have on  our property. And although you would like to link trees with quality of life, that is a very small  variable in the quality of life; otherwise we all would be living in rural King County on 10 acres  surrounded by trees.    110. Q5:  Residents should be able to manage their own trees.    111. No comments.     112. Q5:  Basic idea should be to require review/permit for any trees of certain types and over certain  sizes. Permits should only be issued if there are safety issues or the action involves thinning as  opposed to clearing out.     113. Q5:  Diseased trees should be treated at owner’s expense, removed if necessary to prevent  spread. Replacement should involve a reasonable cost.    114. Q5:  Medina need not over regulate this ruling on trees and trust more to homeowners.     115. No comments.    ATTACHMENT 3 166 18    116. Q5:  I consider myself a “tree huger”. I love trees more than the average person. Even so, the  Medina tree code is too extreme in a couple of areas. Hazardous tree rating should be lowered  from 11 to 9; human safety trumps a tree canopy! Replacement policy should be 1:1, not 1:21.  Don’t mind getting a permit to cut a tree down to ensure safe removal and compliance with 1:1  replacement, but don’t feel city should profit from multi‐thousand dollar fees.     Q6:  I love trees, but I love sun too. The fir trees in my yard and my neighbors’ yards block light  and sun and rop needles everywhere. I’d love fewer fir trees and more blossoming (dogwoods,  redbuds, cherry, crabapples) and leafy trees (Japanese maples, green maples).     Q8:  City government should not function as a homeowner’s association. It should be focused first  and foremost on public safety. The current version of the tree code is slanted against public safety  in favor of the preservation and proliferation of trees. It is also slanted in favor of those with  enough financial means and property to comply to pay the fines and plant 1:21 replacements.  Let’s take a more realistic and pragmatic approach to the goal of planting trees. Focus on  incentives instead of penalties. Don’t tread on the rights of property owners.      117. Q8:  I would like further clarification on the rights of property owners to protect/enhance their  views if other neighbors’ trees block them.     118. No comments.      119. Q5:  Tree codes/policies are complex because trees grow. By legislating for an arbitrary tree size to  regulate, the long term result could be elimination of various sizes, i.e., “cut it now before it grows  too big and you can’t”. Yes, trees are beneficial, but they also can block sunlight and views –which  are also beneficial. This makes a “one size fits all” policy nearly impossible to write. The current  replacement policy in particular is ludicrous. In an established garden, it is impossible to plant the  required number of trees AND expect them to live. They need appropriate spacing/sunlight/soil  conditions, etc. for mature and healthy canopy.    Q6:  I strongly believe if the tree code was eliminated tomorrow in its entirety, Medina would not  be clear cut. A majority of residents appreciate the trees and are knowledgeable about their value.  I don’t believe anybody wants Medina to look like Clyde Hill…scalped.    Q8:  “Right plant, Right place” is a gardening truism that applies to trees as well as shrubs,  perennials, and annuals. Western red cedars and big leaf maples are hell to garden under; they  suck the life out of the dirt below them. Douglas Firs are forest trees, ultimately growing too tall  for urban areas, they lose lower limbs as they grow and are not particularly attractive or  rare/endangered. There is nothing “sacred” about them. The “pruning” of trees under Medina’s  power lines is deplorable. Trees should NEVER be topped or pruned so they appear that  something took a bite out of them. Far better to remove an unsuitable tree altogether, than trying  to contain its natural growth.      120. Q5:  Way too much red tape to cut down a tree. IF the regulations are such that you must apply if  you cut down more than 5 trees or you don’t plant a replacement tree, then it’s ok. Otherwise, it’s  tyranny to have such a complicated and expensive process to comply with the code.    ATTACHMENT 3 167 19    Q6:  Don’t kid yourself. One tree makes no difference to the quality of life to the city. The big  factors of quality of life are health, income, time, etc. The City of Medina actually worsens the  quality of life because it adds so much pain and suffering if one has to cut down even one tree.    Q8:  North Korea and Syria are not democratic countries even though they have elections. In  Medina, tree removal is banned (oh, you can cut it down but it is such a huge process and you  have to plant an impossible number of trees that it’s crazy, just like Kim Jong Un).     121. Q5:  Having read it, I am not sure that I completely understand the tree code. My understanding  regarding view maintenance is that you have to wait until the view is 60% blocked before you are  eligible for relief. It makes much more sense to me to allow a view to be maintained with regular  trimming/pruning from an expense point, the property value and for the health of the trees. Yet  that doesn’t seem to be the code.    122. Q5:  If trees obstruct an established view or pose a danger to the community then they should be  considered for review. Homes are valued on their view and safety. This would only increase  property values in the community if we had a comprehensive and conscientious plan enforceable.    Q8:  There should be a Medina Beautification society. Residents could donate to it to plant trees in  the community to augment the trees that were removed. If a resident takes down trees it could  be a donation/fee to the city to replace trees at an agreed upon location in areas that are within  200 feet of the removal.    123. Q5:  Make preserving our trees a priority of the city. However, there should be a little more  flexibility regarding removing trees than we now have. Also, while replacement trees should be  required, there should be a little less number required.    Q8:  Please keep a balance between all in for trees and let’s cut down any we want to in any  changes in any changes to the tree code. Please do not over react to a small vocal minority in  determining future policy.  The tree policy should reflect what is good for the most citizens  possible for the good of Medina.     124. Q5:  The cost of compliance of the tree code is extremely high. My impression is that most people  who have direct experience with the tree code are not satisfied with it. The replacement tree  requirements to remove a problem tree can be so high that it is a defacto ban. This is not  desirable. Although it would be controversial, if there is public support for increasing the tree  canopy then the city should require, with the threat of prison, that lawns are prohibited in the City  of Medina to the extent that they exceed a rectangular area of 1,000 sq. feet or more. You could  have a small lawn but if it is too large, you must plant trees in the middle of the lawn.     Q6:  Some people have large lawns that can accommodate new trees. Some people have little  land to plant extra trees. IT shocks the large lawns that can accommodate new trees. Some people  have little land to plant extra trees. It shocks the conscience that the city would harm those who  have problem trees and not much space to plant replacement trees.     Q8:  If a resident removes a small number of problem trees, they should be able to do so without  extra expense, other than the company which cuts down the tree. This means not requiring a  permit, hiring a surveyor, and paying the city arborist, etc. They should merely have to notify the  ATTACHMENT 3 168 20    city and provide a receipt that they planted a replacement tree. That would solve the vast majority  of people who are opposed to the current tree code.     125. Q5:  1) CLEARLY separate out what is allowed, what needs a permit or what is disallowed in the  tree code. Both for tree trimming and tree removal. 2) Put preservation of significant view s and  historical view corridors on the same priority level as preserving tree canopy. 3) Educate residents  on how tree trimming can be used to maintain healthy trees, protect residents and their homes  from damage and injury, and maintain the significant views of the lakes, mountains and cityscapes  that we all enjoy. 4) Make trees on the city’s right of way subject to the same rules as trees only  on a resident’s property. 5) Restrict tree species on slopes to ones that grow no higher than the  tallest manmade structure on the same lot. Innis Arden has this restriction and it works fine for  them. 6) For evergreens that have been previously topped (unfortunately) allow residents to  preserve a single primary leader and remove any secondary leaders. This would be good  stewardship and is an example of a good tree trimming strategy (see point 3 above).    Q6:  We need trees and like them. But there needs to be a common sense approach to managing  them. Medina has a sensible regulation on structural coverage of a lot (25%). There needs to be a  similar regulation for tree and shrub canopy coverage of a lot. There are tools available on the  web that allows such estimation.     Q8:  The tree code review committee should be representative of as many diverse opinions on the  tree code as possible. The city staff and arborist should be more proactive and helpful to residents  so that residents can achieve their goals while adhering to the city’s tree code. Making the tree  code clear would go a long way to making this happen.     126. Q5:   1) You should be able to hire an independent certified arborist instead of the monopoly the  city has on only one “choice”. It is costly just to get an opinion. A certified arborist is a certified  arborist. Why does the city get to dictate that their person is the only one qualified to decide if a  tree is viable. 2) The present ridiculous policy of replacing like for like should stop. We built ten  years ago and had to plant a large number of Douglas F to replace one large one that couldn’t be  preserved. I have chopped them all down; there was no more room for them than there was for  the big one. Of course we couldn’t find room for ten Dougs. We took down some ancient applies  and had to replace them with apples instead of the cherries I wanted. Wrong genus. Really? Those  applies have been chopped down too. What a waste. Everyone goes back and just chops down the  mitigated trees. There are always way too many required so you buy cheap and small and dispose  of them once you move in and the dust settles.     Q8:   The cost of taking down a tree that is large really is prohibitive enough. To add to that cost an  arborist and the “mitigation” is too much. I also think clear cutting a developer’s lot is different  than an established property owner trying to alter property that they own for safety, aesthetics  whatever. The City doesn’t have a right to dictate what I do with my tree. Maybe limit it to 2‐3  trees a site or something…? But everyone should be given a gimme or two. Have you priced taking  down a big tree lately? Believe me, nobody does it lightly.    127. Q5:   First of all, the current code is outrageous and restrictive and punitive and practically ignores  individual property rights for the supposed benefit of someone else who may or may not have a  forest on their property. I live in a practical forest. I don’t frankly see the need for much restriction  at all as I don’t expect that the city would be treeless without one. However, I would argue for as  ATTACHMENT 3 169 21    little mediation as possible, certainly no payments to a tree fund, and a 1 for 1 or 1 for 2  replacements might be acceptable.     Q6:   I LOVE trees. I have bought dozens at nurseries in my lifetime. I don’t necessarily require  forests of massive trees that block out the sun in a residential area which also produce safety  hazards to their families. It’s not necessarily the NUMBER of trees but the SIZE of trees that we  may be talking about and our inability to manage the desire to remove some. While I appreciate  others’ design to live near a forest on someone else’s property, I cringe at thinking I should tell an  owner they can’t remove a tree that I happen to like. Medina’s public parks can reflect what a  consensus feels about trees. Interestingly, they don’t have as many trees as my property does.     Q8:   The other answers here seem from an alternate universe. WHAT COST to preserve a canopy  are we talking about? Planting new ones in Medina Park? If someone bought a property without  trees, someone would require them to plant more trees on their property that they don’t want?  Someone would force me to carry the burden of carrying a tree that I don’t want but they do?  Why don’t they transplant it onto THEIR property? The funny thing here is I realize I am coming  from the perspective of one who lives in a forest. There are other parts of Medina which are not  so burdened with a heavy canopy, certainly waterfronts. I suppose if I were unaffected in that  way, I could easily opine that others should be forced to keep their forest while I was content in a  less burdened property. This unevenness is a real problem with this policy. I want to thank the city  council for addressing this issue which has bothered me for so long.      128. Q5:   Owners should be able to remove any large tree that can reach their dwelling if it falls. This is  a matter of public safety. Should be no review, application, fees, or requirement to plant new  trees in these instances of public safety.     Q6:  Tree canopy is one of the qualities that makes Medina so appealing. It also provides shade  which keeps ambient temperatures down in summer when asphalt is cooking. It fosters wildlife  which also is appealing.     129. Q5:   I have a significant tree that was planted befor the city was incorporated (around 1953). It  has ruined our driveway. We cannot afford $32,000 inpermit fees. The other option is not possible  as the property would not allow planting 12 trees in its place (and pay $7,000 fee). It is absolutely  ridiculous for a homeowner to have to go through this. The tree is not even supposed to grow on  the west side of the mountains. In the meantime, it has ruined (and is still ruining) an expensive  aggregate driveway. There needs to be special “grandfathered” considerations for pre‐ incorporation plantings. I understand there must be some regulations but not everyone in Medina  is rich.     Q8:  The city has far too much power over property owner’s rights when it comes to trees. I can  see that with new construction or re‐landscaping there should be some regulations (no clear‐ cutting, etc.) Permits can be required but not at the exorbitant fees that we have now! That’s  about as far as it should go.     130. No comments.    131. Q5:   More homeowner autonomy, for the obvious reasons.    ATTACHMENT 3 170 22    132. Q5:   Each case may be quite different, but there should be an opportunity to present an argument  if there are special circumstances.     133. Q5:   Requirements are too strong for which trees to take down and replacement costs are too  high.    134. Q5:   Preserve only the most valuable. Prioritize local species. Eliminate the great financial burden  of mitigation – the current plan is not affordable for most homeowners. Preserve views and  sunlight.     Q8:  Less leading questions.      135. Q5:  Trees are a community resource. Large trees should be protected from their owners just  taking them down to improve views.     Q6:   History has shown us that without strong regulations, large trees will be lost. There are  numerous lots around town that are almost bare compared to what they were.     136. Q5:   Allow property owners to remove a certain number of trees of a certain number of years  while ensuring clear cutting is not happening. Owners who feel a tree is too close to their homes  or kids’ play area or who want to improve their surrounding by moving trees around should be  able to do that without excessive expenses.     Q6:   Medina has a very mature tree canopy. A large number of trees are over 100 years old and  were clearly planted by residents long before Medina was even incorporated and before there  was a tree code. The city should trust its residents to maintain trees and should reduce the  excessive regulations.     137. No comments.    138. Q5:  Resident owners should be able to remove trees for safety reasons with no compensation  payments to the City. New developers should be monitored in removal of trees, no compensation  if trees present safety hazard.     Q8:  Eliminate any compensation requirements for resident owners.     139. No comments.    140. Q5:  It’s not an issue the city should involve themselves with.     Q8:  1) If homes are demolished, the required non‐disturbance area around remaining trees can  have a significant negative effect on the useable area of the yard because the forced difference  between useable grade and non‐disturbed grade. A fully useable yard is more important than  saving trees. 2) Clyde Hill’s view ordinance should be adopted. 3) Remove all deciduous trees from  the list. 4) Reduce replacement to ½ that removed ‐ to 20 “removed/10” replace.      141. Q5:  As properties get redeveloped, some older properties will need some trees removed.    ATTACHMENT 3 171 23    142. No comments.    143. Q5 & Q8:  Clearly, as written, the existing Medina Tree Code is intended to be so restrictive as to  pretty much preclude the removal of trees. As such, the Medina Tree Code is forcing those trees  on all who own property or are contemplating purchasing property in Medina. By eliminating the  tree removal restrictions, the City of Medina will satisfy both sides. Those who wish to keep their  trees will keep them. Those who do not want their trees will remove them. Thus, the City of  Medina will not be forcing one position on the other. The question is, will the City of Medina  impose a fee for the removal of the tree as we imagine the City of Medina additionally looks at  this issue as a revenue generating mechanism? Should a fee be imposed? No. However, should the  City of Medina impose a fee, said fee should be a very nominal amount. Medina is populated by  people in all stages of life – those just starting out to widows and widowers. As such, Medina’s per  household income runs the gamut. Should only the ultra wealthy be in a financial position to  remove trees? Should resale value be compromised due to buyers’ unwillingness to take on or live  under the overly burdensome Medina City Tree Code? We don’t believe so and we hope the City  of Medina doesn’t either.  Please remember and give careful consideration to the fact that any fee  required by the City of Medina for the removal of trees is an additional expense for a property  owner and then the question arises, is this fee punitive and/or is it meant to be prohibitive?  Without question, for a multitude of reasons, trees in the correct location can and do enrich our  lives and environment. However, with the issue before us, that which starts out small over time  becomes a giant. Around these giants, a community has grown exponentially. While beautiful,  their size can and does create significant issues of safety and hardship. Isn’t it time to let Medina  property owners decide what is best for their peace of mind, their property, their investment; and  to have “quiet enjoyment” of one’s property?      144.

Q4:  Appropriate size is a problem for individual property owners. Poor pruning, selection and  landscaping choices all need to be considered.     Q8:  Views are important and should be protected too. Perhaps more small trees could be planted  along streets and some large tree varieties removed.    188.  Q5:  The existing policy is more than fair and allows plenty of loop‐holes for developer to do what  they please.     Q8:  A committee that involves not only residents and citizens of Medina, but also gardeners  involved in these properties. Not a resident, but a gardener on several large Medina estates over  25 years.    189. Q5:  Allow limbing up and thinning – not topping. Open up for views & sunlight.   ATTACHMENT 3 174 26    Q8:  When there is a height restriction on building new homes as in Medina Heights, then tree  removal to open views should be allowed – especially in the right‐of way.    190. Q5:  Why not allow a homeowner to remove one tree a season with no replacements costs or  mitigation?     191. Q5:  The goal is to maintain what we now have and have love about Medina. Any changes should  be overheard and placed before the public for consideration at public meetings before it is  enacted.    A8:  If the city refuses to allow the removal of a tree considered to be hazardous, it should be  responsible for damage caused by the tree falling – i.e., when in doubt allow removal of trees that  put people and property at substantial risk.      192. Q5:  Management yes; but we should protect private property rights and views.    Q8:  Keep tree management more in line with neighboring communities such as Yarrow Point,  Hunts Point, and Clyde Hill.     193. Q5:  A property owner should be allowed to remove a tree on his property. Especially if there is  good reason, i.e., unhealthy tree, tree with high potential for damage to person or property.    Q8:  Every property is different. Consideration should be given to specific tree coverage existing  on a given property when the property owner wants to remove a tree. Medina’s current tree  policy is way too restrictive and to the point of being punitive for a property owner. There is not  sufficient consideration of property owner rights and safety of person and property. There is too  much focus on a given tree without consideration for other factors affecting the property owner’s  specific situation.       194. Q5:  The most beautiful tree on Groat Point has been replaced by a spec house. No amount of  money will change that. Developers are willing to pay so fines do not work. Residents generally  love their own trees; it’s the neighbors who want more view! In the 42 years we have lived here  and maintained over 100 trees, some have died, become diseased, blown down or overshadowed  areas. We now feel unable to manage them properly. How much money has the city collected in  fines and where does the money go? Yes, do not resume we need your help landscaping our  private property.     Q8:  Yes, do not presume we need your help landscaping our private property.     195.

Q5 & Q8:  Tree Code Observations: Medina’s tree canopy is a beautiful asset, HOWEVER, it has  completely overgrown and the regulations have to be updated accordingly. We have lived in our  ATTACHMENT 3 175 27    family home for 20 years. Our property is surrounded by trees and we love it. When we first  moved in some of our trees were 15 feet tall, now they are 25 feet tall.  Some trees were 40 feet  tall, and they now tower at 70 feet. We are fine with this, even though the shade on our property  has increased substantially. Some of these trees should be taken out for the health of all of them  and the underbrush, but because of the Medina Tree Code, we won’t do it because of the  consequences. I don’t have the solution, I just need you to understand that a decade or two of  growth impacts one’s personal property in many ways and the homeowner should be allowed to  mitigate without such harsh monetary consequences.     199. Q5:  Mitigation: a) Include only trees greater than 20 to 24 inches in diameter and of a species that  we want to preserve. Smaller trees are not significant enough to mitigate. b) Do not include trees  in the building footprint or in any area where a structure can be built per the building code. I  suggest that only trees located in the building setbacks should be regulated. By including  mitigation for trees in the buildable area, we then force excess trees into the setbacks causing  plantings that are too dense. C) Trees should be replaced at a 1 for 1 ratio or at most a 2 for 1  ratio. Trees grow extremely fast in our climate and we can easily overplant. D) The cost for a  mitigation tree should be proportionate to its wholesale cost. That would remove the “penalty”  cost currently changed homeowners and still plants trees.    Canopy: a) I hear a lot about preserving the tree canopy but I have never seen a quantified  definition or description of this “canopy”. How do we preserve this canopy if we do not have a  way to measure it? Look at some of the early photos of Medina in the City Hall and you see  locations with very few trees.  Views and Access to sunlight:a) Medina heights citizens self‐imposed a 20’ height limit on their  homes to preserve views. The City agreed and created the Medina Heights Overlay zone within  the R‐16 zone. It makes no sense to control the height of structures without controlling the height  of the vegetation. Perhaps an overlay zone for vegetation similar to the structural limits would  preserve the character of this neighborhood. The character of Medina comes from the mix of  housing. I do not want to live in a cookie cutter town where every house and yard looks the same.  We should celebrate our diversity as we protect our trees and understand that many citizens  believe views and sunlight are as important as trees. B) Sunlight is important in our climate not  only for allowing plants to grow but to keep us sane in the dark winter months. Tall trees and  hedges can block sunlight between homes and cause grass and plants to die. Trees can shad e a  neighbor’s home and limit their sunlight on porches, decks, and even inside the home. c) Views  are not limited to private property but are important within the city public areas. Areas such as  Medina Park, City Hall, Medina School, and Overlake Golf Course should be open and inviting to  citizens. Access to sunlight and views from these locations is important. Viewpoint Park at the  intersection of Overlake and Upland Road is losing some of its view due to trees on the left and  right of its view corridor.  Size of Trees: a) Our current code goes too far protecting a tree just because it is large. Many large  trees block sunlight and views and often the only part of a tall tree we see is just the truck. I have  heard some arborists think that Douglas Firs are not a good tree to plant in a crowded urban  environment because they grow too large for city living. b) It would be nice to identify some of the  very extraordinary trees and encourage preservation of them.     200. Q5:  You should also manage trees that have grown and removed views.     Q8:  The Sun and View ordinance needs teeth too.     ATTACHMENT 3 176 28    201.
