This report is written to plan the tree modifications and facilitate permit authorization to allow the removal and pruning of a number of trees currently obscuring views. The Bayview HOA is a small community along the top of a slope overlooking Port Ludlow Bay. See Appendix A: Area Map. The village viewshed resides in a Jefferson County mapped geologically hazardous area. Our assessment finds numerous opportunities for targeted pruning and tree removal activities among the various Management Zones. Through the skilled tree pruning, tree and shrub coppicing, tree thinning and conversion of some trees to living habitat trees, the HOA's goal of viewshed maintenance can be successfully achieved while retaining slope stability and erosion control. i introduction Bayview Village HOA (the "Client") contracted with the Consultantto assess tree risk on their property. Kyle Craig visited Bayview Village to evaluate trees within a viewshed according to the Tree Risk Assessment Qualification criteria administered by the International Society of Arboriculture. Our assessment, opinions and recommendations are included in this letter. Please contact us with questions you may have regarding this report. Assi nment &_ Purpose: z. Evaluate the trees within the viewshed. 2. Provide management recommendations for the trees.

I w+ww. eninsulae .cora I (36o) 504-3825 6/25/19 Bayview Village, Port Ludlow, WA 98365 3 Project Description Viewshed Pruning • Bayview HOA's viewshed is divided into three Management Zones, according to cohort, forest structure and composition. This is mapped within Appendix A: Site Plan. Zone i, z and 3 are located between Windrose Dr. and Ludlow Bay Rd. in the community of Port Ludlow, Washington, where they occupy a north and northwest -facing hillside slope overlooking Port Ludlow Bay. • Zone 1, 2 and 3 are bounded on the south and west by Bayview Village properties and on the north by Ludlow Bay Rd. Area four is located to the east Bayview Village properties on cul-de-sacs of Windrose Dr. and Martingale PI., and is bordered on the east by other private lands. No structures are currently located on the areas in question which are designated as a greenbelt community area and Jefferson County mapped geohazardous zone. • The tree populations within the viewshed currently consists of conifers, predominantly western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and western redcedar (Thuja plicata), and numerous broadleaf species such as red alder (Alnus rubra) big leaf maple (Acermacrophyllum), and pacific madrone (Arbutus menziesii). • Bayview Village Homeowners Association is seeking the necessary permits to allow the removal and pruning of a number of these trees which are obscuring views from properties along the top of the slope. See Appendix A: Area Map. PEG shall maintain continuity with the HOA and previous reports by continuing to reference these areas. However, for the purposes of this report, our observations and recommendations shall focus on cohorts of trees within and across the three management zones. 4 Observations & Assessment • Management Zone 1 is composed of young conifers, between 10-20 feet in height, on the upper and mid -slope and lies mostly within the northwestern section of the HOA. Conifer species include Tsuga heterophylla, Pseudotsuga menziesii, and Thuja plicata. Understory vegetation is non-existent due to severe juvenile conifer over -crowding and excess shade. • Management Zone i extends across the north -central section of the HOA, connecting Zone 1 and Zone 3. This cohort consists primarily of deciduous broad -leaf trees. Some of these trees are native red alder (Alnus rubra), naturalized sweet cherry (Prunus avium), and other installed as mitigation from prior tree removals (Betula utilis). Understory vegetation consists of dominant and heterogeneous Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus), Jefferson County Class C noxious weed. Management Zone 3 extends across the northeastern section of the HOA and consists of large conifer trees, mainly Tsuga heterophylla and Thuja plicata. Zone 3 represents the tallest trees within the view shed. Specifically, this viewshed zone contains 5 mature western redcedars and z mature western hemlocks. Understory vegetation consists of scattered and homogeneous shade tolerant shrubs and herbaceous cover included salal (Gualtheria shallon), Saskatoon serviceberry (Amalcnhier alnifolia), evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum) and sword fern (Polystichum munitum). ■ Management Zone 4 is composed of red alders (Alnus rubra) encroaching into HOA common areas.

Coppicing of trees is a traditional silvicultural method for collecting branch shoots for a variety of applications. Trees can persist for decades being coppiced on a 3 -5 -year rotation. Coppicing is performed by simply re -cutting stump sprouts at a height of 18"-24". At point of pruning, sprouts or branches pruned in this fashion should be no larger than 6" in diameter. 1''%A or iM.. & s AV w Figure is Example of coppicing over a 3 -5 -year timeline. 4.2 Progressive Window Pruning Methods Conifer prior to Progressive Window Pruning Page14Ofig Conifer after Progressive Window Pruning Progressive Window Pruning is an arboriculturally appropriate way to integrate filtered landscape views and retain long-term tree health in evergreen conifers. Window pruning is the selective thinning of specific tree limbs to enhance a specific line of sight. It is important to remember trees grow from their top upwards, as such, lowertree branches will not grow up and into the newly created view. Removal of these specific limbs is limited to between 10%-25% of the entire tree canopy per year and limited cumulatively to live -crown - ratio recommendations. Window Pruning can begin once the central trunk of a tree is over 6 inches in diameter at the point of pruning. We do not recommend initiating window pruning Peninsula Environmental Group, Inc. I www.peninsutaQ cor,.I 1 (360) 504-3825 6/25/19 Bayview Village, Port Ludlow, WA 98365 Viewshed Pruning on a tree trunk when its diameter is less than 6 inches. This will cause significant issues with tree growth patterns and structure. When your objective view requires more than so%-25%tree canopy removal, we recommend achieving this over the course of multiple treatments every few years, rather than all at once. In this scenario, trees can be progressively window pruned every 1-3 years as needed to obtain maximum view potential. 4.3 Live -Crown -Ratio of Conifers When pruning the bottom of trees will achieve a desired view, we recommend the canopy lift or "skirting" pruning technique. Canopy lifting on conifers trees is the intentional pruning of lower branches to achieve a lifted canopy appearance. Conifer branches grow annually in "whorls" or circles around the main trunk. Depending on many circumstances, some conifers can tolerate extensive removal of branch -whorls; in other scenarios removal of extensive branch -whorls will cause tree instability and elevate tree risk. The live -crown -ratio of a tree is defined as the height of the first living branch divided by total tree height. Crown ratios of Douglas -fir in closed nearshore forested environments range from 40%-30% on average. Live -crown -ratios of Douglas -firs in cleared, open environments range from 100% - 70%. We recommend not pruning branch -whorls in excess of 5o% live -crown -ratio in this project. Further pruning could cause tree instability in this environment.

I (36o) 504-3825 6/25/19 Bayview Village, Port Ludlow, WA 98365 4.4 Canopy Reduction Viewshed Pruning Tree topping is a frequently misused method of tree management. A tree topping cut is technically an internodal heading cut or simply a cut which doesn't consider tree branch collars and a tree's natural ability to "healing" Topping of trees will substantially reduce the longevity of trees and causes a hazardous situation for those beneath the tree. The most common occurrence of tree branch failure and related liability is failure from previously topped branches. Proper tree height reduction is achieved through specified arboricultural pruning technique called canopy reduction pruning of dominant stems. Canopy reduction pruning is the selective removal of branches and stems to decrease the height and/or spread of a tree or shrub, preferably of a deliquescent or branching, non-excurrent (most coniferous) tree(s). When reducing heights on deliquescent trees, such as red alders, the arborists objective is to remove the larger of two branches at specific branch splits (unions). Example: when presented with a branch (or trunk) that splits, a tree professional will remove the largerof the two branches.The larger branch in this scenario is most often the branch moving upwards. Care must be taken by the tree professional during reduction pruning to cut outside of the branch collar. Cutting outsidethe collarwill increase likelihood the tree can compartmentalize the wound and prevent future associated disease and decay.

Large birds like the American Bald Eagle and red tail hawk only use bare, old branches to perch. Large dead -wood and dead branches make up a complex network of available habitat for aerial avian roosting and nesting. Small dead -wood and dead fine twigs too little fortree nesting birds are used as nesting material. Ground litter and fallen twigs do offer structural material for ground nests. Living habitat trees are those trees managed in a way, normally through height reduction, in which long-term health of the tree is generally disregarded. Living habitat trees can be high-risk trees, trees blocking important views, or otherwise. Managing these trees as habitat trees reduces theirfunctional capacity but retains significant ecosystem and physical benefits when otherwise a tree would have been removed. Living habitat trees are alive and providing benefits such as wildlife habitat, soil stabilization and erosion control, limited transpiration and stormwater attenuation, and visual/landscape appeal. Wildlife snags are dead, decayed and potentially diseased trees which provide wildlife habitat, but do not provide other ecosystem or physical benefits. Both habitat trees and wildlife snags can be naturally formed or sculpted through a Certified Arborist. Habitat trees and wildlife snags are another source of avian habitat if the vertical dead wood is above 8 inches in diameter. Horizontal dead wood (perching wood) should be at least 5 feet long and over 4 inches in diameter. Perching wood remaining in this fashion (short and stout) has low risk of failure, and the risk of damaging property is also low. Recall that our houses are made of dead wood. The vertical dead wood supporting avian habitat can have more structural integrity than dimensional 4x4 lumber. Coarse woody debris located on the ground is another structural habitat avenue for birds, plants and the forest in general. Laying large branches or large sections of tree on top of each other (securely) allows for the gradual decay and usage of the log for the forest community.

(36o) 504-3825 6125/19 Bayview Village, Port Ludlow, WA 98365 5 Technical Review How Trees & Vegetation Affect Slope Stability Viewshed Pruni Improper stormwater management and improper vegetation management are the primarycauses of accelerated soil movement in developed landscapes. Geology and geological processes, which are not addressed in this report, are also a causal factor in episodes of soil movement but are less manageable on a homeowner level. In coastal environments, coastal processes such as wave and wind energy, shorelines modifications up and down current, the presence of woody material and vegetation within your nearshore all play critical roles in the rate of erosion on coastal bluffs. Stormwater and vegetation management factors can range from uncollected or misdirected stormwater runoff, old and leaking stormwater runoff conveyance systems, insufficient tree canopy, insufficient or improper ground cover vegetation, insufficient root systems, excessive lawns, and neighbors altering their landscape, among many other factors. Healthy vegetation communities exert a number of mechanical, biological and hydrological controls on slope stability. Vegetation can provide net -stabilizing benefits to soils and slopes in a variety of ways. Biological, hydrological and physical plantsfunctions which influence slope stability, including both erosional and mass soil movement effects: Rainfall interception Plant canopies, foliage, and aerial debris intercept and absorb the energy of raindrops, thereby minimizing theirimpact on soil surfaces, reducing soil erosion and soil detachment. Evergreen trees and shrubs can intercept considerably more annual rainfall than their deciduous counterparts. Root reinforcement Root systems mechanically reinforce and restrain soil particles by transferring shear stresses in soil profiles into tensile resistance in roots. The efficiency of root reinforcement depends on the local depth of restricting soil layers. Surface flow Above -ground plant stems, foliage, and debris increase surface roughness and retardation decrease velocity of stormwater runoff. Dead plant debris like twigs, leaf and needle litter, woodchip, mulch, as well as living ground cover, will slow the surface flow of stormwater. Infiltration Roots and belowground biological activity help increase soil porosity and permeability. This increases the water holding capacity of the soil and delays onset of soil saturation and runoff. Soil moisture Through the process of plant respiration and transpiration, soil moisture is depleted regulation thereby delaying the onset of soil saturation and runoff. Buttressing and Anchored and embedded stems can act as buttress piles or arch abutments in a arching slope, counteracting shear stresses. Wind -throwing Destabilizing influence on soil from turning moments exerted on a slope as a result of strong winds blowing downhill through large trees. This influence is destabilizing, though the net -stabilizing effects of large trees are often higher. P a g e 18 ofsg Peninsula Environmental Group, Inc. I www.peninsulaer,T.cnrn I (36o) 504-3825 6/25/19 Bayview Village, Port Ludlow, WA 98365 Viewshed Pruning Surcharge Weight of trees and vegetation on a slope exerts a downslope (destabilizing) stress and an additional stress component perpendicular to the slope which tends to increase resistance to sliding. Plant age & establishment, growth habitat, and root morphology play important roles in this function. Examples of these processes include: • Grass and sedges reducing erosive velocity at the soil surface by interfering with surface water flow. Similarly, unmowed grass, sedge, thick herbaceous ground cover, and woodchip reduces drag forces on high velocity surface water flow. • Shrub and tree roots mechanically binding to soils particles in the upperweathered layer of soil. Shrubs and tree roots do not necessarily grow deep, or into restricting layers of soil. • An interconnected community of shrubs and tree roots do assist anchoring and adherence to underlying subsoils with the help of a well distributed root mattress. • Through the process of respiration and transpiration, plants transport soil moisture through its leaves and into the atmosphere. This wicking of soil moisture delays onset of soil saturation and in turn surface water runoff. Physical and biological processes belowground in soils, including bioturbulation (invertebrate movement and life stages processes), fungal hyphae networks, and plant roots themselves all interact within soils increase soil porosity, delaying the onset of soil saturation and in turn surface water runoff. Some limitations to vegetation on slopes: Both trees and vegetation on a homeowner level are of little use in preventing deep-seated, rotational slope failures. Causal factors of deep-seated landslides are often landscape scaled, not property specific. Plant community selection is difficult and highly specific to the slope. Plant growth and thereby rooting are often reduced in marine shoreline environments due to high -clay and high - sand composition soils, nutrient deficient soils, exposed bedrock, salt wash, high -winds and sun exposure.

These young trees are not established enough to sustain conversion into living habitat trees, nor other methods of significant pruning. Instead, view shed can be improved and maintained through an ongoing process of thinning these trees by 25% every other year over a period of 8 years. A mitigation plan in line with Jefferson county regulations should be put in place to replace trees accordingly. We recommend implementing this action in 2019, 2021, 2023, 2025 and 2027. Management Zone 2. Deciduous trees should all be crown reduced (non -regenerative trees) or coppiced (regenerative trees) to achieve view corridors. No living branches greaterthat 6 inches should be pruned. Prune no more than 25% of a living tree canopy every five years. Mitigate with native plant installations locally (near the dead tree) if tree mortality occurs. We recommend the contractor have an employee with a walkie-talkie on ground level inform the arborist/tree climber what branches should be removed for maximum view clearance. Do not prune more than necessary than to achieve the desired view. We recommend implementing this action in 2019, 2024 and 2029. Regenerative trees & shrubs include: • Big leaf maple (Acermacrophyllum) • Oceanspray (Holodiscus discolor) • Saskatoon serviceberry (Amalenchiralnifolia) • Black cottonwood (Populus tricocarpa) • Beaked hazelnut (Corylus cornuta) Management Zone 3. Convert 4 background western redcedars (Thuja plicata) to living habitat trees by cutting the tree leader where leader reaches 10 inches diameter. Fully remove 2 background hemlocks. Apply progressive widow pruning methods to the western redcedar in the foreground. Mitigate the area with appropriate low -growing evergreen trees that will sustain slope stability and reduce erosion. We recommend implementing this action in 2019. Management Zone 4 is composed of red alders encroaching into HOA common areas. Prune and reduce to achieve desired clearance. No more than 40% living tree and no more than 8 -inch diameter cuts shall occur. We recommend implementing this action in 2o1g and 2025, if necessary. Mitigation is important for retaining slope stability and wildlife habitat. We recommend installing an appropriate suite of evergreen trees, shrubs, and ground cover, that does not have a maximum height that would conflict with view. As the slope descends, taller trees can be installed. Shorter selections of tree and shrub varieties are suitable for mitigation on the upper and mid slope, standard varieties of trees should be planted on the lower slope. A full restoration/mitigation site plan can be developed upon request, if deemed necessary by the County. P a g e 110 of 1.9 Peninsula Environmental Group, Inc.
