ENVIRONMENTAL (SEPA) DETERMINATION OF
NON-SIGNIFICANCE (DNS)
PROJECT NUMBERS: PR23-000032 / LUA23-000036, ECF, SHPL-A, MOD
APPLICANT: Vijay Kakubal and Ramesh Vudathu ,VK Ventures,
LLC 3712 77th Ave SE Mercer Island, WA 98040
PROJECT NAME: Enclave Short Plat
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Short Plat approval and Environmental (SEPA)
Review for the subdivision of an existing 89,298-square foot (2.05 acres) lot into 4 lots for the future construction of single-
family residences. An existing single- family residence is proposed for removal. The project site is located within the
Residential-8 (R-8) dwelling units per acre zone. The proposed lots would range in area from approximately 6,169 sq. ft.
to 6,228 sq. ft. and would be accessed off NE 10th St via residential driveways. A Category III wetland has been identified
on the south portion of the project site. Category III wetland have a standard buffer width of 75 feet, the applicant is
requesting a buffer reduction to 56.25 feet. Environmental review is required due to the presence of an on-site designated
critical area and therefore the short plat exemption pursuant to WAC 197-11-800(6)(d) is not applicable and a threshold
determination is required. The scope of environmental review is limited to documenting whether the proposal is
consistent with the City’s Critical Areas Regulations and evaluating potentially significant impacts on the critical area not
adequately addressed in the development regulations. Frontage improvements are proposed along the site's NE 10th St
and Hoquiam Ave NE frontages. A Street Standards Modification has been requested to retain the existing pavement width
along Hoquiam Ave NE.
PROJECT LOCATION: 980 Hoquiam Ave NE (APN 1023059060)
