We've populated this page with some of the over 100 documents we presented as exhibits in our appeal.

- Click here to access a copy of the closing argument in our appeal to the hearing examiner. Closing arguments are intended to highlight key issues, not recap the events of a 3.5-day hearing. Click here to see a copy of our original appeal.
- Click here to access the table showing the corrected canopy calculation, which is not the surplus claimed by the city and the developer but a 1,169 feet deficit. The developer counted trees planted by canopy diameter, but tree canopy on the site was counted by the radius (half the diameter). This was presented as an exhibit at the hearing. (The 1,169 foot deficit is different from the deficit cited in the decision because the developer presented updated plans after the city made their decision.)
- Click here to access an annotated PDF showing the difference between the developer's submitted drawings of Waldo Woods and the actual, to-scale drawings. Instead of just one tree being affected by the proposed buildings, 10 trees are affected -- essentially the entire western edge of the remaining stand. This was presented as an exhibit at the hearing.
- Click here to access an e-mail from the developer's architects admitting they did not show the canopy to scale in drawings submitted to the city. This was presented as an exhibit at the hearing.
- Click here to see an annotated PDF of the developer's planned plantings shown to scale. The circles shown are how large the trees will be to match the developer's claimed planted canopy. The residents of the new units will have an interesting interior design dilemma trying to deal with all the branches inside their homes. This was presented as an exhibit at the hearing.
- SMC 25.05.340.C.1 states. in part, that a DNS shall be withdrawn if the DNS was procured by "misrepresentation or lack of material disclosure."
- Click here to see peer-reviewed scientific research ignored by the city proving toxic lead dust from demolition will spread beyond the demolition site. This was presented as an exhibit at the hearing.
- Alex Sobie, a Maple Leaf resident who lives less than two blocks from the site, testified at the hearing how he worries about the lead contamination could effect his young son, Liam. Alex & Liam picture 1 and picture 2. There are a number of childreon who live within the potential toxic lead dust fall area, and even more children who visit the nearby park.
