OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL
Dear Council Members,
We are presently demolishing the old KIT building in Yakima to facilitate a very much
needed parking lot for Sunfair Associates office buildings.
It appears we need the city councils approval to remove a tree in the right of way planting
strip on the west side of south fourth street to install a driveway to our parking lot.
Subject tree is the third tree north of Walnut, on west side of So. 4th, approx. 75 feet from the
corner, and nearly centered on the subject lot. We do intend to landscape unused corners of
our new parking lot and will be happy to plant a new tree as a replacement.
Please let me know if you approve as soon as possible.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
H.E. "Jeffry„ Maggard, Partner
Sunfair Associates

MEMORANDUM
To: Denise Nichols, Parks & Recreation Manager
From: Randy Murphy, Park Maintenance Supervisor/Arborist
Re: Tree Removal
Date: August 31, 2000
At the request of Advanced Real Estate, Inc. I inspected a Locust Tree adjacent to the old KIT Radio
station on So. 4th Street. A request has been made to remove the tree so that a driveway can be built to
access a parking lot.
This subject does not meet the level of criteria for which I can authorize removal. My recommendation is
contact the City Manager's Office to have item placed on agenda upcoming for City Council meeting. I
have included a photo of the Locust Tree.
