The Ingraham High School project description 3007650 does not mention the word tree anywhere in the application, and the Seattle Public School DNS to proceed with removal of a grove of more than 60 old growth trees at the west end of the school is obviously anything but insignificant. The original application reads:
Land Use Application to allow a 20,000 sq. ft. two story classroom addition and exterior alterations (canopies) to an existing institution (Ingraham High School) in an environmentally critical area. Project includes re-striping and re-configuring existing parking lot to provide 160 surface parking spaces. Review includes demolition of seven portables, and one modular structure (totaling 12,600 sq. ft.). Determination of non-significance prepared by Seattle Public Schools.
The environmental impact checklist for Ingraham High School is now online at Ingraham H.S. Project. It’s not too late to voice your opinion on the environmental importance of yet another endangered grove of trees. Send comments to both, RE: MASTER USE PERMIT #3007650
