Introduction
This Administrative Manual is designed to supplement the permit processes described in the
land use, zoning, and environmental sections of the City of Bainbridge Island Municipal Code
(BIMC). This manual identifies documents that applicants must submit in order to have a
complete application for development review and decision. Consistent submissions to the City
of Bainbridge Island will help the efficiency of the review process as well as clarifying
requirements for applicants. The procedures required for review and approval of each type of
application are detailed in Title 2: Administration, Personnel and Land Use Procedures of the
BIMC.
The Master Land Use Application is required to be submitted with each of the land use permits
discussed herein. Please see the application for the number of copies for specific permits. A
land use permit shall not be considered complete until the required application, fee and all
supporting materials are submitted to the department. The applicant shall submit an electronic
copy of all required documents at the time of application submittal. The director may waive
specific submittal requirements determined to be unnecessary for review of an application.
Most applications also require a separate fee for the Kitsap Health District.
The City's current Fee Schedule and Master Land Use Application can be viewed and
downloaded from the City's website.

A. Tree and Vegetation Retention Plan. The applicant shall submit a tree and vegetation
retention plan, concurrent with applicable permit application in order to demonstrate
compliance with BIMC Section 18.15.010. If multiple permits are required then the
applicant must submit the tree retention plan with the first and all subsequent applications.
The tree retention plan may be combined with the planting plan (see section 3 below) and
shall consist of:
1. A tree survey or aerial photograph that represents current site conditions and identifies
the location of all significant trees, tree stands and their associated canopies. The
survey needs to include enough information about existing trees on a property to
demonstrate compliance with section BIMC Section 18.15.010.G Total Site Tree Unit
Requirements (if applicable). New planting may be required to meet these requirements
(see section 3 below).
2. For detailed site plans and grading applications, the tree survey may be conducted by a
method that locates individual trees and tree stands, their size(s) and species. These
trees shall be marked in the field at the time of permit or approval application and
maintained through the construction period; and
3. A development site plan identifying size and species of the trees and tree stands, as
defined in BIMC 18.15.010.C, heritage trees, or other existing vegetation that are
proposed to be retained.
4. The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) valuation for trees:
a. Required to be retained for development projects in the R-2.9, R-3.5, R-4.3, R-8, R-
14, Mixed Use Town Center (MUTC), High School Road, and Neighborhood Service
Center Districts; and
b. In all zones where the critical root zone of a tree required to be retained may be
impacted by clearing, grading construction, development, or maintenance; and
5. An analysis prepared by an certified arborist about long-term health and/or viability for
trees that will be on the edge of the developed area and "post development" tree
health for trees requested for removal in roadside or perimeter buffers. This analysis
should also address protection during construction (see below).
8
6. Protection during construction strategies for trees and vegetation to be retained.
B. Description of how the tree retention plan and planting plan meet the Total Site Tree Unit
Requirements, pursuant to BIMC 18.15.010.G, if applicable.
C. Planting Plan. All plans must be prepared or approved, by a landscape architect licensed by
the state of Washington, a Washington certified nursery professional or a Washington
certified landscaper. The proposed landscape planting plan shall be clearly legible and show
the following:
1. A title that includes the project name, owner's name, designer's name, date and scale of
no less than one inch equals 30 feet. All items shall be labeled, and north shall be
oriented towards the top or left of the plan;
2. Property boundaries, easements, and ownership as set forth in the legal description;
3. Existing and proposed grades of at least five-foot intervals;
4. Rights-of-way, setbacks, streets and utilities within the subject property;
5. All proposed construction and planting and any future construction and planting that is
not included in the application;
6. Location of all existing and proposed buildings, structures, utilities and improvements
within the property; and
7. A plant list for all proposed new planting delineating quantities, scientific and common
names and sizes. Names of plants are to follow current edition of the Hortus Third, A
Concise Dictionary of Plants Cultivated in the U.S. and Canada; and sizes of plants are to
follow the current edition of the American Standard for Nursery Stock, American
Association of Nurseryman (AAN).
8. Vegetation clearing strategies;
