The Community and Economic Development Department has received your written request to 'top' several
trees within a Native Growth Protection Easement (NGPE) on the southerly 15 feet of your property. The
stated purpose of your tree topping request is to remove blockage of your satellite television signal. The
department is unable to approve your request at this time, but is supportive of selective pruning methods
recommended by a certified arborist of your choosing in order to gain a clear signal path.

After calling to inquire about topping 5 cottonwood trees and I maple tree
outside the rear fence of our backyard, my wife and I were informed by Greg
Vause that the trees in question are in a native protective growth area. He
also informed us that we must write to you for a decision as to whether or
not we could call • arborist to do the work for us.
A margin of 8 feet from our rear fence toward SW 320th Street is part of our
•' property, albeit an easement for utility work, and we /I• /• property
taxes for that margin of property. From the eastern border of our property,
moving in a westerly direction, the trees are approximately 7 feet, 8 feet, 12
feet, 3.5 feet, • feet and 11.5 feet, respectively, behind • fence.
The trees in question are causing a blockage of the satellite signal, in the
southernnecessary for our television reception. A few of them have
been trimmed by utility workers, in the distant past, due to interference with
the utility wires above them.
We would appreciate a decision as i•'I • you could manage to consid
this issue • tree topping •
Respectfully,
C-
