City Council Discusses Additional Tree Regulations

At the November 20 meeting [ https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDQsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8va2VubW9yZS5jaXZpY3dlYi5uZXQvZG9jdW1lbnQvMjQ5NjE4LyIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzExMTcuODU4MzUyNzEifQ.d1RwlDnjO6Kq6QAGI3zalAF1bbzZPjXNd5cXa2sspUU/s/1129321182/br/231122569522-l ], the City Council discussed additional regulations to further preserve, protect, and enhance Kenmore’s tree canopy. The proposed tree regulations provide added protections by increasing the requirements for tree density on new developments, decreasing the number of trees property owners can remove each year, always requiring replacement whenever significant trees are removed, requiring that all trees on a property must be retained unless construction won’t allow it, and establishing a tree fund for instances when replacement is infeasible. There will be a public hearing on December 4 as the City Council considers adopting the additional regulations.

Since April 2021, the City Council has been taking action to protect Kenmore's trees. In 2022, new tree regulations were adopted, including requiring permits for tree removal and revising tree retention requirements. In October 2023, the City Council adopted an exceptional tree ordinance [ https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDUsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8va2VubW9yZS5jaXZpY3dlYi5uZXQvRmlsZVN0b3JhZ2UvQTZDQzNBNTExNzkwNDlGRkI1M0Q4NDNBNUYwN0Y3MEItQXR0YWNobWVudCUyMDEucGRmIiwiYnVsbGV0aW5faWQiOiIyMDIzMTExNy44NTgzNTI3MSJ9.p44RGfHYoLpJ6ZaTzn-6dg2HS121497SKMcejT8QN8Q/s/1129321182/br/231122569522-l ], which protects native and very large trees that because of their size and age are invaluable to the environment. Upon adoption of the ordinance, removal of exceptional trees within the city is punishable by fines up to $2,500 per inch in diameter at breast height with minimum a penalty of $10,000 and a maximum of $150,000.

BAT lane
Business Access Transit (BAT) Lanes Reminder

There has been some confusion over the years regarding the use of the BAT (Business Access Transit) lanes on Bothell Way. Some stretches of Bothell Way are for buses only, while others can be used for portions of the road until you reach an intersection, when you must then turn right. "No where along Bothell Way can you drive straight through an intersection while in the BAT lane." Thank you for driving safely and using Kenmore's BAT lanes responsibly.
