SUBJECT: Receipt of Fourth Annual Wetland Maintenance and Monitoring Report Walgreens on NE 4th St. Mitigation Project City of Renton File LUA08-014 Dear Mr. Sherry: I received and reviewed the fourth annual Ma'intenance and Mbnitori~g Report for the Walgreens, on NE 4th Street, mitigation proJec't. The project appears to be meeting its established performance standards and is considered in compliance With the exception of the northern and southern-most ends of the fence. As Ilreviously note'd, the southern-mostend of the fence in the mitigation area had prior damage and since has sustained further damage and is now completely fallen down. The northern-most end of the fence in the mitigation area has also sustained damage and is now fallen down. Repair of the fence was noted in the last monitoring letter, dated November 9, 2012 and '. was not completed. Now that the fence has completely fallen down, it is required to be repaired immediately .. ' The repair should be. completed within two months .and verification of completion shall be provided to the Planning Project Manager, Vanessa Dolbee, by December 10, 2013 .. The northern end of the mitigation area contains an excessive amount of invasive plant species. During maintenance of the mitigation area this' area should be included as it contains the highest percentage of invasive plant cover. In addition, please take the necessary measures as recommended by your wetland biologist to secure the survival of the plantings. The next. monitoring report shall include a follow-up statement stating compliance with these measures. Provided the above mentioned maintenance is completed and .the project meets the performance measures in the next annual report, the five year mbnitofingperiod will be completed and the surety device can be released. Two copies of your next scheduled maintenance and monitoring report are dueto the City by August' 25, 2014. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 430- 7314.

The monitoring schedule is in c,ompliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. As-built conditions were documented by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. Four quarterly monitoring reports were completed as required for the Year-I monitoring from August 2009 through June 2010; and the annual reports for Years 2, 3, and 4 were completed in mid to late August of201 L 2012; and 2013. This letter-report serves as the Y ear-5 annual monitoring report. It documents site conditions observed during TES' July 8, 2014 monitoring site visit and evaluates those conditions based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Bufler Mitigation Plan (dated November 2008). As instructed by Walgreens, TES has submitted three hard copies of this report to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development the week. Introduction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Blfffer Mitigation Plan will demonstrate that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation is met this year. Specific characteristics evaluated during this visit included: 125 N. 16Wh Street Shordin~. v,.: '\ 9~! 3.1.

Three attachments enclosed with this letter provide detailed information about site conditions: • Attachment B: Vegetative Percent Cover at Established Monitoring Stations • Attachment C: July 8, 2014 Photographic Documentation • Attachment 0: Maintenance Schedule and Tasks Completed Monitoring Method During Years-l and -2 of monitoring, success criteria for both plant survival and percent cover was collected. Beginning in Year-3, data has been collected only for percent cover. Preliminary visual observation of the overall mitigation area clearly indicated that the Year-5 success criteria of at least 15 percent woody native plant cover was exceeded throughout the mitigation area; thus percent cover data was considered to be an accurate evaluation of the success of the site. In addition, because native plant recruitment and growth has been so vigorous it would have been nearly impossible to distinguish each individual plant from the other; thus time was not spent attempting to count individual plants. Percent cover of planted and volunteer native vegetation was documented at the three monitoring stations established in 2011. Percent cover of invasive species was also documented at each station. One station is situated in the south portion of the mitigation area, one is in the central portion and one is in the north portion. The stations (see Attachment C) were placed in the least vegetated areas in 2011. Sample plots included the entire width (east to west) of the mitigation area and extended fifteen ft. to the north and south of the center of each station. A visual estimate of the percent cover of each observed species within each sample plot was recorded as a cover class estimate. This nine-increment scale, known as the Octave scale, enables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species within each of the three areas are presented in Attachment B. Photographs taken at the establishment photographic stations are presented in Attachment C. Field data collected during the July 8th site visit was later evaluated in the office, comparing current site conditions to the success criterion for survival (see page 4). Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Cover During the July 2014 monitoring visit nine native shrub and tree species were documented; the same number of species as observed last year. Red alder (Alnus rubra), a volunteer species found in each of the three areas, is now predominantly trees rather than shrubs. The majority of this species occurs in the north and central areas and range from 8 ft. to 15 ft. in height with a few new volunteers ranging from 1-to 3-ft. tall. Continued thinning of the alder where it was growing the most densely has remove crowding of the other native trees and shrubs. Planted woody vegetation is thriving this year. Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-5 Annual Monitor Rpt Compared to last year's data, three of the five tree species showed a slight increase in percent cover in the central area: including big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), Douglas fir (Psuedotsuga menziesi!), and Pacific willow (Salix lucida), All of the trees in the south and north areas remained approximately the same in percent cover as recorded from last year. As was found last year, overall tree cover this year varied widely in each portion of the site and is assumed to be due to the amount of sunlight each area receives. The south area receives little sunlight due to the adjacent overhanging forest and currently has approximately 26.75-percent tree cover. Because the central area extends beyond the shade of the adjacent forest, tree cover in this area is higher at approximately 66-percent. The north area is completely exposed and has 82-percent cover (due to conifers growing under the canopy of the taller alder and willow). Two of the four species of planted native shrubs showed a slight increase in percent cover over last year in the southern area. Nootka rose (Rosa nootkana) and Indian plum (Oemlaria cerasijiJrmis) increased by approximately 12-pcrcent each. Shrubs in the central and northern area remained the same with the exception of Tall Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium); which decreased by approximately 3 percent in the northern area. Even though the areal cover of native woody species has not shown a marked increase, all species are much taller with fuller branching and greater leave production this year. Shrub cover varies less than that of tree cover throughout the mitigation area. Shrubs average just over 50-percent cover with the least cover occurring in the central area. This is presumed to be due to the shade created by the red alder grove in that area. Attachment B documents the percent cover of all vegetation observed in the three monitoring plots. The overall cover of woody native species is estimated to be greater than 100 percent. The south monitoring station had nearly 1 DO-percent cover of native woody vegetation, an increase of approximately 14-percent from 2013. The central monitoring station had approximately 91-percent cover; an increase of approximately 9-percent. The northern monitoring station had 169-percent cover (including the low-growing shrubs under the taller shrubs and trees); a decrease of approximately 3-percent due to the reduced cover of Oregon grape under the densely-growing Scouler's willow. The difference in cover appears to be due to the full sun aspect of the north area as opposed to the shade conditions present in the south and central areas. The central area has the highest density of red alder saplings and the southern area is shaded by the adjacent forest. No one woody species comprised more than 50-percent total cover throughout the mitigation area. Scouler's willow had the highest cover at approximately 35-percent cover, overall. Indian plum had the lowest cover at 4-percent, overall. While there is no success criteria for groundcover this year, data was collected on ground layer species and is presented in Attachment B. The shady conditions in the south area resulted in the lowest percent cover of non-invasive groundcover at less than 3-percent cover. The central and north areas had approximately 70-percent and IS-percent; respectively. Overall, areal cover of herbaceous species is estimated to be 29-percent. This decrease in groundcover is expected as the shrubs and trees mature and provide more shade. The photographs in Attachment C illustrate current conditions on July 2, 2013. They show the vigor and increase in height of installed and volunteer native woody plants. The plants are healthy and are expected to increase in cover and biomass over the long term. Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-5 Annual Monitor Rpt Invasive Species Invasive species control has been conducted throughout the mitigation area and only a minor amount of invasives were observed. The one exception is English ivy (Hedera helix) along the east edge or the central area which increased in cover by approximately 6-percent. Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and birds-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) were observed in trace amounts throughout the mitigation area this year. Attachment B shows the percent cover for invasive species in each area. These species occurred in small patches and overall had less than 3 percent cover over the entire mitigation area. Wildlife Use English sparrows were observed in the mitigation area at the time of the site visit. No signs of other wildlife were observed. This is expected because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and its location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot. While wildlife is not expected to use the mitigation area directly, this site serves as part of the mitigation corridor into and along the adjacent stream. Success Criteria Evaluation A) The re-established buffer will achieve either 85 percent survival or 25 percent areal coverage of native installed and recruited woody vegetation by the end ofYear-5. While no survival data was collected this year, the overall areal percent cover of native woody vegetation throughout the entire mitigation area exceeded 100 percent; significantly exceeding the Year-5 success criterion. This success criterion is met. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 10 percent areal cover during Year-5. Invasive species comprise less than 4-percent areal cover over the mitigation area as a whole. This success criterion is met. C) Noxious weeds will be removed within the mitigation area after each monitoring event. Removal will occur according to the King County noxious weed list, including Class A, B, and C noxious weeds. This success criterion does not pertain to those species classified as nuisance weeds. Noxious weeds have been removed regularly since the mitigation installation, as documented in list of maintenance tasks completed in Allachment D. The Contingency Plan section (see below) outlines additional maintenance tasks for the remainder of 2013 season and in spring 2014. This success criterion i.~ met. Note: There are no cover requirements for herbaceous vegetation in Years 4 and 5. Contingency Plans The contingency plans that were recommended from August 2013 through July 2014 (as listed in the Year 4 Monitoring Letter-Report dated August 26,2013) included I. Continued control of invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species. All are to be bagged and removed from the site. 2. Removing all trash in the mitigation area. Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-5 Annual Monitor Rpt 3. Allow all volunteer native species to remain in the south area; this includes red alder, red-osier dogwood, snowberry and any other native woody species (see Attachment C for a map showing the south, central and north areas). 4. Remove all red alder seedlings from the north and central areas (see Attachment C for a map showing the south, central and north areas). 5. Thin the red alder saplings in the northern-most portion of the mitigation area where the alder is still very dense. Leave all other native species, including the willow which looks very similar to the alder. 6. Replace the fallen sections of the fence at south end of mitigation area. 7. Continue to irrigate the mitigation area through October 15th (or whenever the seasonal rains begin, whichever is sooner). Next year, the irrigation does not need to be turned back on unless the plants are stressed and dying. The store manager may access the site for irrigation needs. All maintenance and contingency tasks I isted in the Year-4 report have been implemented. During this past year, continuing maintenance has kept invasive and weedy species cover below 5-percent cover. A small amount of trash was observed in the mitigation area and was removed during monitoring. It is not known whether irrigation was provided in 2014. Ongoing maintenance over the past year is documented in Attachment D. A few select alder saplings were removed in the north area to allow the other native plants to continue to increase in density. It does appear that the shade provided by the planted native vegetation has served to reduce red alder germination as there were only a few new alder seedlings/saplings throughout the mitigation area. The fence at the southern-most end of the mitigation area has been repaired and the fallen portions of the fence replaced. (see photos in Appendix C). There are two recommended on-going maintenance for the mitigation area; I. Continue to control the English ivy in the central area to ensure that it does not affect the health of the established trees and shrubs 2. Hire an experienced arborist to trim back the willows and other trees that are spreading into the drive way to the west of the mitigation area. Inappropriate pruning of these trees can lead to death ofthe trees or a growth response that will exacerbate the tendency of the trees to grow into the drive way. An experienced arborist will be able to prune the trees to control their lateral growth.

The project appears to be meeting its established performance standards and is considered in compliance with the exception of the northern and southern-most ends of the fence. As previously noted,' the southern-most end of the ~fence in the mitigation area had prior damage and since has sustained further damage and is now completely fallen dciwn. The northern-most end of . the fence in the mitigation area has also sustained damage and is now fallen down. Repair of the fence was noted in the last monitoring letter, dated November 9,2012 and was not completed. Now that the fence has completely fallen down, it is required to be repairediinmediately. The repair should be~ completed within two months and verification of completion shall be provided to the Planning Project Manager, Vanessa Dolbee, by December 10, 2013. The northern end of the mitigation area contains an excessive amount of invasive plant . species. During maintenance of the mitigation area this' area should be included as it contains the highest percentage of invasive plantcover~ In addition,please take the necessary measures as recommended by your wetland biologist to secure the survival of the plantings. The next monitoring report shall inclUde a follow-up statement stating compliance with these measures. Provided the' above mentioned maintenance is completed and the project meets the performance measures in the next annuarreport, the five year monitoring period will be completed and the surety device~ can be released. Twocopies of your next scheduled maintenance and monitoring report are due to the City by August: 25,2014. If you have any questioris, please contact me at (4.25) 430- ~ 7314.

B,'z\ eli a'V,algreells.col11 RE: BulTer Mitigation Year-4 Monitoring Report Walgreens #12497 4105 NE 4th Street City of Renton, Washington Dear Mr. Brzycki: TOUCHSTONE ECOSERVICES August 26, 2013 Touchstone EcoServices (TES) completed the Year-4 monitoring at the Walgreens #12497, located at 4105 NE 4th Street in Renton, Washington (see Attachment A). The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evaluated by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. Four quarterly monitoring reports were completed as required for theY ear-I monitoring from August 2009 through June 2010; the Year-2 report was completely August 16,2011, and the Year-3 report was completed August 3, 2012. This letter-report serves as the Year-4 annual monitoring report. It documents Year-4 site conditions observed during TES' July 2, 2013 monitoring site visit and evaluates those conditions based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan (dated November 2008). As instructed by Walgreens, TES has submitted three hard copies of this report to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development the week of August 25, 2013. Introduction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan will demonstrate that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation is met this year. Specific characteristics evaluated during this visit included: • Percent cover of native, invasive and exotic vegetative species within established monitoring stations and throughout the site. • Wildlife use of the mitigation area. Three attachments enclosed with this letter provide detailed information about site conditions: • Attachment B: Vegetative Percent Cover at Established Monitoring Stations • Attachment C: July 2,2013 Photographic Documentation • Attachment D: Maintenance Schedule and Tasks Completed Monitoring Method During Years-I and -2 of monitoring, success criteria for both plant survival and percent cover was collected. Beginning in Year -3, data has been collected only for percent cover this year. Preliminary visual observation of the overall mitigation area clearly indicated that the Year-4 success criteria of at least 15 percent woody native plant cover was exceeded throughout the mitigation area; thus percent cover data was considered to be an accurate evaluation of the success of the site. In addition, because native plant recruitment and growth has been so vigorous it would have been nearly impossible to distinguish each individual plant from the other; thus time was not spent attempting to count individual plants. Percent cover of planted and volunteer native vegetation was documented at the three monitoring stations established in 20 II. Percent cover of invasive species was also documented at each station. One station is situated in the south portion of the mitigation area, one is in the central portion and one is in the north portion. The stations (see Attachment C) were placed in the least vegetated areas in 2011 and these stations were still the least vegetated areas in 2013. Sample plots included the entire width (east to west) of the mitigation area and extended fifteen ft. to the north and south of the center of each station. A visual estimate of the percent cover of each observed species within each sample plot was recorded as a cover class estimate. This nine- increment scale, known as the Octave scale, enables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species within each of the three areas are presented in Attachment B. Photographs taken at the establishment photographic stations are presented in Attachment C. Field data collected during the July 2"d site visit was later evaluated in the office, comparing current site conditions to the success criterion for survival (see page 4). Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Cover During the July 2013 monitoring visit nine native shrub and tree species were documented; the same number of species as observed last year. Red alder, found in each of the three areas, are now considered to be trees rather than shrubs. The majority of red alder occurs in the north and central areas. The volunteer red alder (Alnus rubra) range from 8 ft. to lOft. in height with a few new volunteers ranging from 6 inches to 3 ft. tall. The thinning done in 2012 served to remove crowding of the native vegetation and the planted woody vegetation is thriving this year. Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-4 Annual Monitor Rpt Based on data documented at the monitoring stations, three of the five tree species showed a slight increase in percent cover over last year. Red alder is beginning to move into the south area with a few widely scattered seedlings beginning to establish. Alder showed no change in cover in the central area and an increase of approximately 12-percent in the north area. Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and Scouler's willow (s. scouleriana) showed an approximately 12- percent increase in cover in the south area with no change in cover in the rest of the mitigation area. The other two species, Big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum) and Pacific willow (Salix lucida), showed no change in cover. Overall, tree cover varied widely in each portion of the site and appears to be due to the amount of sunlight each area receives. The south area that gets little sunlight through the adjacent overhanging forest has approximately 36.75-percent tree cover. Because the central area extends beyond the shade of the adjacent forest, tree cover in this area is somewhat higher at approximately 45-percent. The north area is completely exposed and has over 100-percent cover (due to conifers growing under the canopy of the taller alder and willow). All four species of the native shrubs also show a slight increase in percent cover over last year throughout the mitigation area. Mock orange (Philadelphus lewisii) had a small approximately 6-increase in cover in the central area with no change in cover in the south and north areas. Nootka rose (Rosa nootkana) decreased by approximately 12-percent cover in the south area and increased in the north and central areas by approximately 24-and 12-percent cover; respectively. Tall Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) and Indian plum (Oemlaria cerasiformis) increased slightly by L5-percent and 6 percent, respectively, in the south area. These two species showed no change in cover in the central and north areas. Even though the areal cover of native woody species has not shown a marked increase, all species are much taller with fuller branching and greater leave production this year. Shrub cover varies less than that of tree cover throughout the mitigation area. Shrubs average approximately 50-percent cover with the least cover occurring in the central area. This is presumed to be due to the shade created by the red alder grove in that area. Attachment B documents the percent cover of all vegetation observed in the three monitoring plots. The overall cover of woody native species is estimated to be approximately 100 percent. The south monitoring station had approximately 86-percent cover of native woody vegetation, an increase of approximately ll-percent from 2012. The central monitoring station had approximately 82-percent cover; an increase of approximately 16- percent. The northern monitoring station had In-percent cover (including the low-growing shrubs under the taller shrubs and trees); an increase of approximately 10-percent. The difference. in cover appears to be due to the full sun aspect of the north area as opposed to the dense shade conditions in the south and central areas. The central area has the highest density of red alder saplings and the southern area is shaded by the adjacent forest. Noone woody species comprised more than 50-percent total cover throughout the mitigation area. Scouler's willow had the highest cover at approximately 35-percent cover, overall. Indian plum had the lowest cover at 4-percent, overall. While there is no success criteria for groundcover this year, data was collected on ground layer species and is presented in Attachment B. The shady conditions in the south area resulted in the lowest percent cover of non-invasive groundcover at approximately 4-percent cover. The central and north areas had approximately 76-percent and 27-percent; respectively. Overall, areal cover of herbaceous species is estimated to be 36 percent. WaIgreens· Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-4 Annual Monitor Rpt The photographs in Attachment C illustrate current conditions on July 2,2013. They show the vigor and increase in height of installed and volunteer native woody plants. The plants are healthy and are expected to increase in cover and biomass over the rest of this growing season. Invasive Species Invasive species control has been conducted throughout the mitigation area and only a minor amount of invasives were observed. English ivy (Hedera helix) and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) were observed in trace amounts this year. Less than I-percent cover of birds-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) was observed. Attachment B shows the percent cover for invasive species in each area. These species occurred in small patches and overall had less than 1 percent cover over the entire mitigation area. Wildlife Use English sparrows were observed in the mitigation area at the time of the site visit. No signs of other wildlife were observed. This is expected because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and its location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot. While wildlife is not expected to use the mitigation area directly, this site serves as part of the mitigation corridor into and along the adjacent stream. Success Criteria Evaluation A) The re-established buffer will achieve either 85 percent survival or 15 percent areal coverage of native installed and recruited woody vegetation by the end ofYear-4. While no survival data was collected this year, the overall areal percent cover of native woody vegetation, including installed plants and healthy volunteers (recruited native plants that were at least 12 inches tall was approximately 100 percent. The percent cover significantly exceeds this success criterion. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during Year-4. Invasive species comprise less than 1 percent areal cover. This success criterion is meL C) Noxious weeds will be removed within the mitigation area after each monitoring event. Removal will occur according to the King County noxious weed list, including Class A, B, and C noxious weeds. This success criterion does not pertain to those species classified as nuisance weeds. Noxious weeds have been removed regularly since the mitigation installation, as documented in list of maintenance tasks completed in Attachment D. The Contingency Plan section (see below) outlines additional maintenance tasks for the remainder of 2013 season and in spring 2014. This success criterion is met. Note: There are no cover requirements for herbaceous vegetation in Years 4 and 5. Contingency Plans The contingency plans that were recommended in the Year 3 Monitoring Letter-Report (dated August 2, 2012) included controlling invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species; removing trash from the mitigation area; repairing the fence at the south end of the mitigation Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoSenrices Buffer Restoration Yr-4 Annual Monitor Rpt area; thinning red alder seedlings in the north and central areas while leaving the few alder sapling volunteers in the south area; and continuing irrigation during the dry summer months if the native plants appear to be stressed. During this past year, continuing maintenance has resulted in a reduction in invasive and weedy species. A small amount of trash was observed in the mitigation area and was removed during monitoring. Irrigation was provided in 2012 and was also being provided in 2013. Ongoing maintenance over the past year is documented in Attachment D. Select alder saplings were removed in the central and north areas to allow the other native plants to continue to increase in density. It does appear that the shade provided by the planted native vegetation has served to reduce red alder germination as there are far fewer new alders throughout the mitigation area. The fence at the southern-most end of the mitigation area was not repaired and has now completely fallen down into the mitigation area (see photo in Appendix C). The fence needs to be replaced in order to protect the mitigation area from human intrusion. Maintenance visits should continue to be conducted this year. Tasks to be completed include: I. Continued control of invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species. All are to be bagged and removed from the site. 2. Removing all trash in the mitigation area. 3. Allow all volunteer native species to remain in the south area; this includes red alder, red-osier dogwood, snow berry and any other native woody species (see Attachment C for a map showing the south, central and north areas). 4. Remove all red alder seedlings from the north and central areas (see Attachment C for a map showing the south, central and north areas). 5. Thin the red alder saplings in the northern-most portion of the mitigation area where the alder is still very dense. Leave all other native species, including the willow which looks very similar to the alder. 6. Replace the fallen sections of the fence at south end of mitigation area. 7. Continue to irrigate the mitigation area through October 15th (or whenever the seasonal rains begin, whichever is sooner). 8. Next year, the irrigation does not need to be turned back on unless. the plants are stressed and dying. The store manager may access the site for irrigation needs. If the maintenance contractor or his staff have any questions about this contingency plan, they may call Diane Brewster at 206-251-9536.

The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side ofthe Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evalualed by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. Four quarterly monitoring reports were completed as required for theYear-1 monitoring from August 2009 through June 20 10; the Year-2 report was completely August 16, 2011. This letter-report serves as the Year-3 annual monitoring report. It documents Year-3 site conditions observed during TES' July 4, 2012 monitoring site visit and evaluates those conditions based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan (dated November 2008). Walgreens will need to submit three hard copies to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development by August 25, 2012. Introdnction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan will demonstrate that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation is being met. The data collected during the July 2012 monitoring visit was used to evaluate the Year-3 success criteria (see the Success Criteria Evaluation section on page 4). 125 N. 168 th Street Shoreline,· :. _; ~ Phon!;:: 206-S01-7154 • Cell Phone: 206·251-9536 Specific characteristics evaluated during this visit included: • Percent cover of native, invasive and exotic vegetative species within established monitoring stations and throughout the site • Wildlife use of the mitigation area Three attachments enclosed with this letter provide detailed information about site conditions: • Attachment B: Vegetative Percent Cover at Established Monitoring Stations • Attachment C: July 4, 2012 Photographic Documentation • Attachment D: Maintenance Schedule and Tasks Completed Monitoring Metbod Monitoring during previous years included success criteria for both plant survival and percent cover. This year, data was collected only for percent cover. Preliminary visual observation of the overall mitigation area clearly indicated that the Y ear-3 success criteria of at least 10 percent woody native plant cover was exceeded throughout the mitigation area; thus percent cover data was considered to be a reasonably accurate evaluation of the success of the site. Secondly, because native plant recruitment and growth has been so vigorous it would have been nearly impossible to distinguish each individual plant from the other; thus time was not spent attempting to count individual plants. Percent cover of planted and volunteer native vegetation and of invasive species was documented at the three monitoring stations established in 2011; consisting of one station in each of the south, central and north areas. The stations (see Attachment C) were placed in the least vegetated areas in 2011 and the stations were still the least vegetated areas in 2012. Sample plots included the entire width (east to west) of the mitigation area and extended fifteen ft. to the north and south of the center of each station. A visual estimate of the percent cover of each observed species within each sample plot was recorded as a cover class estimate. This nine-increment scale, known as the Octave scale, enables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species within each of the three areas are presented in Attachment B. In addition, dead plants were noted. Photographs taken at the establishment photographic stations are presented in Attachment C. Field data collected during the July 4th site visit was later evaluated in the office, comparing current site conditions to the success criterion for survival (see page 4). Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Cover Observations during the July 2012 monitoring visit found nine native shrub and tree species; two fewer species than observed last year. Missing species were the volunteer species observed in the south area in 2011; including one red-osier dogwood and six common snowberry. While red alder was found in the north and central areas, this species was also missing from the south area; 10 individual plants had been recorded in this area in 2011. Overall, big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllllm) and Douglas fir (Pselidotsliga menziesil) in the mitigation area had a slight increase in percent cover over last year. Scouler's willow (Salix Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-3 Annual Monitor Rpt scouleriana) had a 70 percent increase in cover in the north area, but stayed at the same cover in the other two areas. Native shrubs showed the greatest increase in cover throughout the mitigation area; particularly the mock orange (Philadelphus lewisii) and Nootka rose (Rosa noo/kana). The volunteer red alder (Alnus rubra) seedlings had not been thinned as designated in the 2011 contingency plan and were crowding many of the planted native shrubs and trees in the central and northern areas at the time of this monitoring site visit. The saplings ranged from 4 ft to 8 ft. tall and, because of their density, they were obscuring and crowding the planted native vegetation. Red alder saplings were thinned to approximately 20-ft. on-center during this site visit prior to collecting monitoring data. The only exception was the northern-most 30 feet of the mitigation area where the red alder was not cleared (as can be seen in Attachment C; PS-3). Thus, the cover of red alder for 2012 does not show an increase between 2011 and 2012. Attachment B documents the percent cover of all vegetation observed in the three monitoring plots. The overall cover of woody native species is estimated to be 90 percent. Compared to last year, the south and central areas had the lowest increase in native woody species cover. The south monitoring station had 75 percent cover of native woody vegetation, an increase of approximately 8 percent. The central monitoring station had 66 percent cover; an increase of approximately 2 percent. In contract, the northern monitoring station had 162 percent cover (including the low-growing shrubs under the taller shrubs and trees); an increase of approximately 45 percent from 20 II. This difference appears to be due to the full sun aspect of the north area vs. the dense shade conditions in the south and central areas. The central area had the highest density of red alder saplings and the southern area was shaded by the adjacent forest. No one woody species comprised more that 50 percent cover in the mitigation area. Scouler's willow had the highest cover at approximately 34 percent cover, overall. Indian plum had the lowest cover at 2 percent, overall. While there is no success criteria for groundcover this year, data was collected on ground layer species and is presented in Attachment B. The shady conditions in the south area resulted in the lowest percent cover of non-invasive ground cover at approximately 9 percent cover. The central and north areas had approximately 73 percent and 25 percent; respectively. Overall, areal cover of herbaceous species is estimated to be 36 percent. Only one dead plant was observed in the south area. Approximately five additional plants observed throughout the mitigation area had died to the ground, but were growing back from the roots at the time of this site visit. The photographs in Attachment C illustrate current conditions on July 4, 2012. They show the vigor and increase in height of installed and volunteer native woody plants. The plants are healthy and are expected to increase in cover and biomass over the rest of this growing season. Invasive Species Invasive species control has been conducted throughout the mitigation area and only a minor amount of invasives were observed. English ivy (Hedera helix), which had occurred in trace amounts in each area last year. was not observed at all this year. No everlasting peavine (La/hyrus lalifolia) was observed and only trace amounts of birds-foot trefoil (La/us Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-3 Annual Monitor Rpt corniculatus) and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) occur in the mitigation area. Attachment B shows the percent cover for invasive species in each area. These species occurred in small patches and overall had less than I percent cover over the entire mitigation area. Wildlife Use English sparrows were observed in the mitigation area at the time of the site visit. No signs of other wildlife were observed. This is expected because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and its location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot. While wildlife is not expected to use the mitigation area directly, this site serves as part of the mitigation corridor into and along the adjacent stream. Success Criteria Evaluatiou A) The re-established buffer will achieve either 85 percent survival or 10 percent areal coverage of native installed and recruited woody vegetation by the end ofYear-3. The overall areal percent cover of native woody vegetation, including installed plants and healthy volunteers (recruited native plants that were at least 12 inches tall was approximately 90 percent. This success criterion is met for both survival rate and percent cover. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during Year3. Invasive species comprise less than 1 percent areal cover. This success criterion is met. C) Noxious weeds will be removed within the mitigation area after each monitoring event. Removal will occur according to the King County noxious weed list, including Class A, B, and C noxious weeds. This success criterion does not pertain to those species classified as nuisance weeds. Noxious weeds have been removed regularly since the mitigation installation, as documented in list of maintenance tasks completed in Attachment D. The Contingency Plan section (see below) outlines additional maintenance tasksfor the remainder of the 2012 growing season and in spring 2013. This success criterion is met. Note: There are no cover requirements for herbaceous vegetation in Years 3, 4 or 5. Contingency Plans The contingency plans that were recommended in the Year 2 Monitoring Letter-Report (dated August 16, 2011) included controlling invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species; clearing tall-growing grasses and clovers from the drip line of al\ plantings; removing trash from the mitigation area; thinning red alder saplings in the north and central areas while leaving the few alder sapling volunteers in the south area; removing the staking on the dead Douglas fir tree while leaving the dead tree in place; and continuing irrigation during the dry summer months if the native plants appear to be stressed. During this past year, continuing maintenance has resulted in a reduction in invasive and weedy species and the drip line of all plantings is free of completing groundcover vegetation. Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-3 Annual Monitor Rpt Only a very small amount of trash was observed in the mitigation area. In the central area, both the dead Douglas fir and the stakes were removed. Irrigation was provided in 2011 and was also being provided in 2012. Ongoing maintenance over the past year is documented in Attachment D. It appears that the red alders were not thinned in the north and central areas; however, this was done during the monitoring site visit for all but the northern-most portion of the mitigation area. The alder should be thinned to 20-ft. on-center in this northern-most area. In addition, it will be important to start removing all new red alder seedling in these two areas. As the other native plants continue to increase in density, the shade they provide will serve to reduce red alder germination over the long term. Conversely, it appears that all the volunteer native species were removed from the south area, including red-osier dogwood, snowberry and red alder. Since there is now much less blackberry and English ivy in the south area, it is assumed that the native volunteers were removed along with the invasives. It is important to leave all native volunteer vegetation in this area because the shade from the adjacent forest severely limits the recruitment of native vegetation. Additionally, the fencing at the southern-most end of the mitigation area is falling inward and needs to be repaired. Maintenance visits should continue to be conducted this year in August and September; and next year in April, June, August and September. Tasks to be completed include: o Continued control of invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species. All are to be bagged and removed from the site. o Removing all trash in the mitigation area. • Allow all volunteer native species to remain in the south area; this includes red alder, red-osier dogwood, snowberry and any other native woody species (see Attachment C for a map showing the south, central and north areas). o Remove all red alder seedlings from the north and central areas (see Attachment C for a map showing the south, central and north areas). • Thin the red alder saplings to a spacing of20-ft. on-center in the northern-most portion of the mitigation area where the alder is still very dense. Leave all other native species, including the willow which looks very similar to the alder. • Repair mitigation fence at south end of mitigation area. • Continue to irrigate the mitigation area through October 15th (or whenever the seasonal rains begin, whichever is sooner). o Next year, the irrigation does not need to be turned back on unless the plants are stressed and dying. The store manager may access the site for irrigation needs. If the maintenance contractor or his staff have any questions about this contingency plan, they may call Diane Brewster at 206-25 I -9536.

The project appears to be meeting its established performance standards and is considered in compliance. However, as recommended by your biologist, thinning of the red alder saplings on the north and central areas as specified in my last letter sent on Sept. 16, 2011, has not been completed and shall be completed immediately. As well, it should be noted that the fence along the South area is starting to lean over and may be in need of repair in the future. In addition, please take the necessary measures as recommended. by your wetland biologist to secure the survival of the plantings. The thinning of the red alder saplings in the north and central areas shou Id be to a spacing of approximately 8-ft on-center. The next monitoring report shall include a follow-up statement stating compliance with these measures. Two copies of your next scheduled maintenance and monitoring report are due to the City by November 09,2013. If you have any questions, please contact me at (425) 430- 7314.

The red alder was starting to do that in this mitigation due to its density, However, over most of the mitigation area, the alder was thinned to a density that provided more species richness while still allowing the other species the sun and water they need to remain healthy. The one exception is the northern-most end of the mitigation area where the red alder saplings still need to be thinned to at least 20-ft. on-center, So, for now, the only area that is need of alder thinning is the northern-most end of the mitigation area. Although, I am pretty certain that additional alder seedlings will continue to need to be controlled for a few rnore years until the native understory grows in densely enough to naturally control alder germination, My apologies about not being clear in the report, Please let me know if this explanation clears up your question and concerns.

I am unclear about the information on page 3, paragraph one: The volunteer red alder (Alnus rubra) seedlings had not been thinned as deSignated in the 2011 contingency plan and were crowding many of the planted native shrubs and trees in the central and northern areas at the time of this monitoring site visit. The saplings ranged from 4 ft to 8 ft. tall and, because of their density, they were obscuring and crowding the planted native vegetation. Red alder saplings were thinned to approximately 20-ft, on·center during this site visit prior to collecting monitoring data. The only exception was the northern-most 30 feet of the mitigation area where the red alder was not cleared (as can be seen in Attachment C; PS-3). Thus, the cover of red alder for 2012 does not show an increase between 2011 and 2012. I am confused on whether the Alders currently need to better maintained or if they are being maintained properly and meet the mitigation requirements, Please respond at your earliest convenience, Thank you for your time, Brianna Burroughs, 1 • Community and Economic Developm ... partment City of Renton ____ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 7670 (20121107) The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com 2 Denis Law Mayor October 3, 2012 Robert Sherry PECO NNN-West 4717 Masters Newberg, OR 97132 Department of Community and Economic Development C.E.

The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side ofthe Walgrecns parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evaluated by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. Four quarterly monitoring reports were completed as required for theYear-1 monitoring; from August 2009 through June 2010. This letter-report documents site conditions observed during TES' July 19, 2011 monitoring site visit and evaluates those conditions based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan (dated November 2008 and prepared by Shannon & Wilson, Inc). This letter-report serves as the Year-2 annual monitoring report. Walgreens will need to submit three hard copies to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development by August 25. 20 I I. Introdnction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan will demonstrate that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation is being met. The data collected during the July 2011 monitoring visit was used to evaluate the Year-2 success criteria (sec the Success Criteria Evaluation section on page 3). 125 N. 168'" Street Shoreline. W.\ 9X I.n. Phone: 206-801-7154 • Cell Phone: 206-251-9536 Specific characteristics that were evaluated during this visit included: • Counts of planted woody vegetation and native volunteer woody vegetation that was at least 12 inches tall and in good health • Percent cover of native, invasive and exotic vegetative species within established monitoring stations • Wildlife use of the mitigation area Four attachments enclosed with this letter provide detailed information about site conditions: • Attachment B: Plant Survival Data • Attachment C: Vegetative Percent Cover at Established Monitoring Stations • Attachment D: July 19, 20 I I Photographic Documentation • Attachment E: Maintenance Schedule and Tasks Completed Monitoring Method Because this mitigation area is so small and narrow, both success criteria (for plant survival and percent cover) were used to evaluate the site. To document plant survival, the entire mitigation area was walked. All native woody plants in good health that were taller than 12 inches were counted by species and condition (live, stressed or dead) and information was recorded on the project-specific field data sheet (see Attachment B). In addition, percent cover of planted, eligible volunteer vegetation and invasive species was documented at three monitoring stations; one in each of the south, central and north areas. The stations (see Attachment D) were placed in the least vegetated areas to augment evaluation of the success criteria. Sample plots included the entire width of the mitigation area located within fifteen ft. to the north and south of each station. A visual estimate of the percent cover of each observed species within each sample plot was recorded as a cover class estimate. This nine- increment scale, known as the Octave scale, cnables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species within each of the three areas are presented in Attachment C. Photographs taken at the establishment photographic stations are presented in Attachment D. Field data collected during the July 19th site visit was later evaluated in the office, comparing current site conditions to the success criterion for survival (presented later in this report). Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Survival Observations during the July 20 II monitoring visit discovered 255 surviving trees and shrubs, plus 602 volunteer native, healthy woody plants. A total of eleven native woody shrub and tree species were documented. Most of the volunteers were young red alder saplings with approximately 400 individuals observed in the central and north areas. The second most prevalent volunteer species was Nootka rose with approximately 118 volunteers that have spread from the planted stock. The combined voluntcer and surviving plants totaled 863; giving this site Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-2 Annual Monitor Rpt a survival rate of 295 percent (see Attachment B). This survival rate is not considered to be beneficial as the large number of red alders wi II out-compete the planted species. Recommended control measures for the red alder are addressed in the Contingency Plan section presented later in this report. Ignoring the volunteer plants, the site still has an 87 percent survival rate for the planted woody material at the end of Year-2. Attachment C documents the vegetation observed in the three monitoring plots; one each in the south, central and north areas. The south area had the lowest cover of native woody species at 60 percent cover. This is presumed to be due to the greater amount of shade that this area experiences. The central area had approximately 64 percent cover of native woody species and the north area had approximately 79 percent cover. Overall, the percent cover in the mitigation area is estimated to be approximately 45 percent. No one woody species comprises more that 50 percent cover in the mitigation area. Scouler's willow has the highest cover at approximately 22 percent cover overall. Big-leaf maple and Indian plum had the lowest cover at 2 percent overall. The shadier conditions in the south area also resulted in low percent cover of non- invasive groundcover at approximately 10 percent cover. The central and north areas had approximately 70 percent and 85 percent; respectively. Overall, areal cover of herbaceous species is estimated to be 55 percent. The attached photographs illustrate current conditions on July 19, 2011 (Attachment 0). The photographs show that the installed and volunteer plants have a significant percent cover compared to typical Year-2 mitigation conditions. The plants are healthy and are expected to increase in cover and biomass over the rest of this growing season. Invasive Species An insignificant amount of four invasive species was observed in the mitigation site. Species present included birds-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), English ivy (Hedera helix), everlasting peavine (Lathyrus latifolia) and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus). Other herbaceous species that can out compete native groundcover were also documented, including hairy cat's-ear (Hypochaeris radicata) and western dock (Rumex occidentalis). Attachment C shows the percent cover for each of the invasive and weedy species in the south, central, and north areas of the mitigation. These species occurred in small patches and overall had approximately 4% cover over the entire mitigation area. Wi/dUte Use No wildlife was observed in or around the mitigation area and no signs of wildlife were observed. This is expected because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and its location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot. While wildlife is not expected to use the mitigation area directly, this site serves as part of the mitigation corridor into and along the adjacent stream. Success Criteria Evaluation A) The re-established buffer will achieve either 85 percent survival or 5 percent areal coverage of native installed and recruited woody vegetation by the end ofYear-2. Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-2 Annual Monitor Rpt The documented survival mte of planted material at this Year-2 monitoring was 87%. Inclusive of healthy volunteers (recruited native plants) that were at least 12 inches tall, then more native plants arc present than were originally planted. The overall areal percent cover of native woo,ry vegetation was 45%. This success criterion is met for both survival rate and percent cover. B) The re-established buffer will achieve 50 percent cover by installed and recruited non- invasive herbaceous vegetation by the end ofYear-2. The documented cover of non-invasive herbaceous vegetation varied widely between the shaded south area and the sunnier central and north areas. Averaging the percent cover for the site overall, herbaceous vegetation had approximately 55%. This success criterion is met. C) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during Years 2 through 4. Invasive species comprise approximately 4% areal cover. This success criterion is met. D) Noxious weeds will be removed within the mitigation area after each monitoring event. Removal will occur according to the King County noxious weed list, including Class A, B, and C noxious weeds. This success criterion does not pertain to those species classified as nuisance weeds. Noxious weeds have been removed regularly since the mitigation installation, as documented in list of maintenance tasks completed in Attachment E. The Contingency Plan section (see below) outlines additional maintenance tasks for the remainder of the 2011 growing season and in spring 2012. This success criterion is assumed to be met. Contingency Plans The contingency plans that were recommended in the fourth-quarter report (dated June 1, 2010) included removing the staking from the dead Douglas fir in the central mitigation area and leaving the tree in place, and continuing to provide on-going maintenance to remove invasive species and trash. The staking has not yet been removed from the dead tree, but continued maintenance has been on-going as documented in Attachment E. Maintenance visits should be continue to be conducted this year in August and September; and next year in April, June, early August and September. Tasks to be completed include: • Controlling invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species. All are to be bagged and removed from the site. • Clearing invasive plants and any tall-growing grasses and clovers from the dripline of all plantings. • Removing any trash in the mitigation area. • Thinning the red alder saplings in the north and central areas to a spacing of approximately 8 ft. on-center. Do NOT clear the alder saplings in the south area. • Removing the staking on the dead Douglas fir tree (leave the dead tree in place). • Even though we had a wet. cool spring and summer to this point, the site still needs to be irrigated for the rest of the summer; at least until October 15th (or Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-2 Annual Monitor Rpt whenever the seasonal rains begin, whichever is sooner). The irrigation system needs to be checked monthly to make sure all heads are functioning and providing head-to-head cover. • Next year, the irrigation does not need to be turned back on unless the plants are stressed and dying. The maintenance contractor and wetland biologist will access the site for irrigation needs. • Any re-growth of already pulled blackberry can be treated effectively by re-cutting the blackberry stems that are coming up and immediately swipe the tips with a glyphosate solution. No herbicide should be used before July 2011.

Walgreens onNE 4th St. Mitigation Project City of Renton File LUA08-0~.4 Dear Mr. Sherry: . I received and reviewed the fourth Quarterly Performance Monitoring Report for the Walgreens, on NE 4'hStreet, mitigation project. This report fulfills your obligation for quarterly monitoring for the first year; you are now required to monitor on a yearly basis for a minimum of four more years. The area must be successfully monitored and maintained for a minimum oj Jive years to assure the success of the wetland mitigation project . . Please take the necessary measures as recommended by your wetland biologist to secure the survival of the plantings. These tasks include, but are not limited to, standard maintenance that should be conducted in June, early August, and September, in addition to the removal of the staking on the dead Douglas fir, which should be undertaken immediately. Please remember all dead trees should be left in the mitigation area. The next monitoring report shall include a follow-up statement stating compliance with these measures. As a reminder, if atany time in the next four years the mitigation project does not meet' the established performance standards, the monitoring period will be put on hold until compliance is achieved. Subsequently, the monitoring timeframe will be restarted and you will once again be required to provide quarterly reports for the first year and annual reports thereafter (for a minimum of five years). On June 30, 2010, the City received a letter from the project Biologist, Diane Brewster, requesting an adjustment in the annual reporting deadline to August2S'h.

While discussing the deadline for the Year-I fourth- quarter monitoring report, you had mentioned that the city currently has a June 11th deadline for the Years 2 through 5 annual monitoring reports. However, you also indicated that the deadline could be adjusted if that change would be beneficial to determining the success of the mitigation area. This letter requests a change in the annual report deadline to August 25 th each year that a monitoring report is due. Typically, Touchstone EcoServices conducts annual mitigation monitoring during the month of July when plant biomass is at its greatest during the year and any maintenance problems are evident. Monitoring completed earlier in the growing season typically does not always accurately represent the percent cover of native species; particularly herbaceous species. In addition, an earlier monitoring effort may show a large percent cover of volunteer native species that appear to be doing well in the Spring, but that die or wither in the heat of the summer. And lastly, monitoring before July will often miss issues associated with maintenance as the typical summer drought has not yet set in and many invasive species have 125 N. 168'" Street Shoreline, \VA 98133. Phone: 206-801-7154 • Cell Phone: 206-251-9536 not yet grown to their full potential. It has been my experience that monitoring during July allows for a more accurate portrayal of the mitigation success. In addition, in the case that contingency plans may be needed in any given year, the August deadline provides enough time to plan for and carry out any adaptive management before the end of the year; from additional invasive species control to installation of additional plantings. Thank you for your consideration of this request. If you have questions or want further information about this, you can call or email meattouchstoneeco@comcast.net.

The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens' location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evaluated by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton.

The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens' location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evaluated by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton.

Plant survival was determined by walking the entire mitigation area with one person calling out the species and condition (live, stressed or dead) of each woody planting encountered. A second person recorded the information on the project-specific field data sheet (see Attachment B). Photographs of the mitigation area were also taken (see Attachments C and D). As the survival count was conducted, the original planting plan was also reviewed to determine whether any of the plants observed were volunteer plants. Any native plants in good health that were taller than 12 inches were recorded on the field data sheet as volunteers. This method of documenting plant survival and eligible native volunteers is a change from the original plan to install permanent monitoring plots during the first year after installation. Monitoring plots typically cover only a percentage of the mitigation area and are best used to evaluate the percent cover of each species present within a discrete area. Using monitoring plots, data collected from a portion of the mitigation site is extrapolated to provide a reasonable estimate for the entire site. The method of walking the entire mitigation area was used because recording the condition of each and every plant provides the most precise representation of actual plant conditions. In larger mitigation areas, it is usually necessary to use monitoring plots as it is not feasible to count every plant. However, the small size and linear layout of this mitigation area allows for an accurate count of all plantings. The precise count of all live plantings provides an accurate evaluation of the Year-J success criterion for plantings, which is based on percent survival and not percent cover. In Year-2, the success criterion for plants changes to percent cover. At that time, permanent monitoring stations will be installed and data on cover by species will be documented. Field data collected during the May 5th site visit was later evaluated in the office, comparing current plant conditions to the number of specified and planted woody vegetation (by species) in order to determine if any of the planted material was missing and to calculate the Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l Fourth-Qtr Monitor Rpt percent survival. This information was used to evaluate the success criterion for survival (presented later in this report). Percent cover for invasive species was also recorded. The mitigation area was divided into three parts: south portion, central portion, and north portion (see Attachment E). Within each portion, a visual estimate of the percent cover of each invasive species was recorded as a cover class estimate. The cover class system uses a nine-increment scale known as the Octave scale, which enables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species v,ithin each of the three areas are given in Attachment E. Percent cover for non-invasive herbaceous vegetation was not recorded during this monitoring visit because much of the herbaceous vegetation that had died back last winter had not yet re-established at the time of this site visit. Evaluation of the ground layer vegetation will resume at the next summer monitoring date. Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Survival Observations during the May 2010 monitoring visit discovered 266 surviving trees and shrubs, plus 55 volunteer native, healthy woody plants. The combined volunteer and surviving plants totaled 321 plants for survival rate of 110 percent (see Attachment B). Ignoring the volunteer plants, the site still has a 9] percent survival rate for the planted woody material at the end of the first year after installation. All of the live plants had leafed out at the time of this monitoring visit. A small number of plants that had died since the February visit were observed including two big-leaf maple, one mock orange, and one Douglas fir in the central portion of the site; and one Scouler willow in the northern portion of the site. All dead trees should be left in mitigation area. The attached photographs provide a comparison of current conditions on May 5, 20 I 0 (Attachment C) to the conditions following installation on May 10, 2009 (Attachment D). The photographs show that the installed and volunteer plants have a significant percent cover for typical Year-I mitigation conditions. The plants are healthy and are expected to increase in cover and biomass this summer assuming they receive irrigation. There continues to be more native shrubs and trees in the mitigation area than were originally planted due to the colonization of native woody species. Most of the planted shrubs survived with observed volunteers of black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), red alder (Alnus rubra), willow (Salix sp.) and snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus). Invasive Species An insignificant amount of five ll1vasive species was observed in the mitigation site. Species present included common tansy (Tansy vulgare), birds-foot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), English ivy (Hedera helix), and Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus). Other herbaceous species that can out compete native groundcover was also documented, including lady's thumb knotweed (Polygonum persicaria), spiny sow thistle (Sonchus as per) and western dock (Rumex occidentalis). Attachment E shows the percent cover for each of the invasive and weedy species in the south, central, and north areas of the mitigation. These species occurred in small patches and overall had approximately 3% cover over the entire mitigation area. Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l Fourth-Qtr Monitor Rpt Wildlife Use No wildlife was observed in or around the mitigation area and no signs of wildlife were observed. This is expected because of the time of year and because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and its location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot. Success Criteria Evaluation A) There will be no more that 15 percent of plant mortality during any Year-I monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mOliality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. The mortality rate of planted material at this fourth-quarter monitoring was only 2% since the February visit and only 9% since the initial plant installation. If healthy volunteers that were at least 12 inches tall are included in the survival count, then more native plants are present than were originally planted. This success criterion is met. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during any qUaJierly monitoring event. Invasive species comprise approximately3% areal cover in the restoration area. This success criterion is met. Contingency Plans The contingency plans that were recommended in the third-quarter report (dated February 23, 2010) included staking up the leaning Douglas fir in the central mitigation area and moving the parked trailer away from the mitigation area. On April 15, 20 I 0, the Douglas fir was staked up, trash was removed from the mitigation area, and general weeding of invasive species was done. The irrigation system was not tested at this time. It will be tested during the next site visit in June. Attachment F shows maintenance tasks completed by date. In addition, the trailer that extended into mitigation area during the February site visit was parked in the adjacent lot and was not near the mitigation area during this site visit. While the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan (November 2008) called for having the landscape architect replace all dead plants at the end of Year-I, no plantings are recommended. Fifty-five volunteer native shrubs and trees that are taller than I ft. and in good health are establishing in the mitigation area. Many more volunteer native plants less than 1 ft. tall and in good health were also observed during this site visit. The volunteer plants were equally distributed throughout the mitigation area. Given that the number of these volunteers (55+) exceeds the number of dead and missing plants (22), any additional plantings will only crowd the mitigation area. In addition, the volunteer plants are acclimated to the conditions in the mitigation area and are expected to be more successful than new plantings. Maintenance to be done includes removing the staking on the dead Douglas fir tree (and leaving the dead tree in place). Maintenance visits should be conducted in June, early August and September this year. Tasks to be completed include: Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-I Fourth-Qtr Monitor Rpt • Weeding invasive, exotic and nuisance plant species. • Clearing invasive plants and any tall-growing grasses and clovers from the drip line of all plantings. • Removing any trash in the mitigation area. • Staking up any trees that are not standing straight. • The irrigation needs to be turned back on by June 15th (or earlier if the weather gets hot and dry earlier in the spring) and checked monthly to make sure all heads are functioning and providing head-to-head cover. • Any re-growth of already pulled blackberry can be treated effectively by re-cutting the blackberry stems that are coming up and immediately swipe the tips with a glyphosate solution. No herbicide should be used before July 2010.

City of Renton File LUA08-014 Dear Mr. Sherry: This letter is to inform you that on March 8, 2009 we received the third quarterly monitoring report for the mitigation project at the Walgreens on NE 4th Street. The project appears to be meeting. performance standards; however, all recommendations on page 4 of the report should be undertaken as soon as possible. Specifically in the second quarterly report, TES indicated that a Douglas fir was leaning and needs to be staked. This recommendation appears again in the third quarterly report, indicating this issue has not been resolved between reporting; please address this issue as soon as possible. Furthermore, the TES report indicates that a trailer has been parked adjacent to the mitigation area that may cause damage to the mitigation area. The provided images show the trailer intruding beyond the fence into the buffer area. Vehicles are not permitted in a native growth protection area as such; this trailer would be ih violation of the recorded Native Growth Protection Easement and the City's Critical Areas Regulations. Please take action to prevent vehicular intrusion into the wetland buffer area. The fourth quarterly monitoring· report should include. a follow up statement that the recommendations have been completed, including but not limited to the staking of the Douglas fir and relocation of the trailer. Three copies of the fourth quarterly monitoring report are due to the City by June 10, 2010. If you have any questions, I can be reached at (425) 430- 7314.

The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens' location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evaluated by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. This letter-report documents site conditions observed during TES' February 14, 2010 monitoring site visit and evaluates those conditions based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan, dated November 2008. This letter-report serves as the third quarterly report for Year-I monitoring. Phillips Edison & Company will need to submit three copies to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development by March 11,2010. Introduction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan will demonstrate that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation is being met. The data collected during the February 2010 monitoring visit was used to evaluate success criteria for this quarter (shown below). A) There will be no more that IS percent of plant mortality during any Year-I monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mortality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during any quarterly monitoring event. 125 N. 16R 1h Street Shoreline, W,\ 0;--;iJ3. Phone: 206-801-7154 • Cell Phone: 206-251-9536 Specific characteristics that were evaluated during this visit included: • Counts of live and dead planted woody vegetation • Counts of native volunteer woody vegetation at least 12 inches tall and in good health • Percent cover of invasive and exotic weed species • Wildlife use of the mitigation area Five attachments enclosed with this letter provide detailed information about site conditions: • Attachment B: Plant Survival Data • Attachment C: February 14,2010 Photographic Documentation • Attachment D: November 3, 2009 Photographic Documentation (for comparison) • Attachment E: Percent Cover of Herbaceous Species and Invasive Species • Attachment F: Maintenance Schedule and Tasks Completed Monitoring Method Because this mitigation area is so small and narrow, the entire mitigation was walked.

This information was used to evaluate the success criterion for survival (presented later in this report). Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l Third-Qtr Monitoring Percent cover for invasive species was also recorded. The mitigation area was divided into three parts: south portion, central portion, and north portion (see Attachment E). Within each portion, a visual estimate of the percent cover of each invasive species was recorded as a cover class estimate. The cover class system used a nine-increment scale known as the Octave scale, which enables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species within each of the three areas are given in Attachment E. Percent cover for non-invasive herbaceous vegetation was not recorded during this monitoring visit because much of the herbaceous vegetation dies back in the winter. Evaluation of the ground layer vegetation will resume at the next spring monitoring date. Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Survival Observations during the February 2010 monitoring visit discovered 274 surviving trees and shrubs, plus 33 volunteer native, healthy woody plants. The combined volunteer and the surviving plants totaled 307 plants for survival rate of 105% (see Attachment B). Ignoring the volunteer plants, the site still has a 95% survival rate for the planted woody material. Indian plum had leaves and flowers and N ootka rose was starting to leaf out at the time of this monitoring visit. The other plants were still dormant; however, a live determination was made when the plant had live buds and flexible (rather than brittle) stems. A small number of plants that had died since the November 2009 visit were observed including one Indian plum, two mock orange, and one Sitka willow. The attached photographs provide a comparison of conditions on February 14, 2010 (Attachment C) to the conditions on Kovcmbcr 3, 2009 (Attachment D). Because the plants were still dormant at the time of the February site visit, it appears that there is less plant biomass than in November. However, the plants are healthy and are expected to increase in cover and biomass in the spring. There continues to be more native shrubs and trees in the mitigation area than were originally planted due to the colonization of native woody species. Most of the planted shrubs survived with volunteers of big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum), black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana), red alder (Alnus rubra), and snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus). Invasive Species An insignificant amount of five invaSIve species was observed in the mll1gation site. Species present included common tansy (Tansy vulgare), birds-foot trefoil (Lolus corniculatus), English ivy (Hedera helix), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and Scots broom (Cytisus scoparius). Other herbaceous species that can out compete native groundcover was also documented, including lady's thumb knotwced (Polygonum persicaria), spiny sow thistle (Sonchus asper) and western dock (Rumex occidentalis). Attachment E shows the percent cover for each of the invasive and weedy species in the south, central, and north areas of the mitigation. These species occurred in small patches and overall had approximately 6.3% cover over the entire mitigation area.

This is expected because of the time of year and because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and its location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot. Success Criteria Evaluation A) There will be no more that 15 percent of plant mortality during any Year-I monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mortality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. The mortality rate at this third-quarter monitoring was only 1% since the November visit and only 5% since the initial plant installation. If healthy volunteers that were at least 12 inches tall are included in the survival count, then more native plants are present than were originally planted. This success criterion is met. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than IS percent areal cover during any quarterly monitoring event. Invasive species comprise approximately 6.3% areal cover in the restoration area. This success criterion is met. Contingencv Plans The contingency plans that were recommended in the second-quarter report (dated November 19, 2009) included repairing the fence at the north end of the mitigation area near NE 4th Street, staking up the leaning Douglas fir in the central mitigation area, and winterizing the irrigation system. The fence was repaired at February 20 \0 visit. However, the Douglas fir in the central area still needs to be staked upright. The irrigation system was not tested at this time to ensure that it is still functioning. It will be tested during the next site visit in May. Attachment F shows maintenance tasks completed by date. In addition, there was a long trailer parked adjacent to the mitigation area that extended into and across nearly the entire planting area (see photos on page 3 of Attachment C). It was bending several of the shrubs over and if it is allowed to remain parked there, it will interfere with spring growth in the mitigation area. Several plants from the adjacent ornamental planting strip were tom out and crushed into the trailer's frame. The trailer was moved manually during the monitoring to create easier access within the mitigation area. However, I suggest that the site be checked regularly to find the owner of the trailer and make sure that it is not backed up into the mitigation area. General maintenance reminders for 20 \0: • Weeding and other general maintenance should be done during the growing season of 20 lOin April, June, early August and September. • The imgation needs to be turned back on by June 15th (or earlier if the weather gets hot and dry earlier in the spring) and checked monthly to make sure all heads are functioning and providing head-to-head cover. Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l Third-Qtr Monitoring • The dripline of all plantings should be kept clear of any invasive plants and any tall-growing grasses and clovers. • Any re-growth of already pulled blackberry can be treated effectively by re-cutting the blackberry stems that are coming up and immediately swipe the tips with a glyphosate solution. No herbicide application should be used before July 2010.

The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for this Walgreens' location. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The as-built conditions were evaluated by TES in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. This letter-report documents site conditions observed during TES' November 3, 2009 monitoring site visit and evaluates those conditions based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream BuJfor Mitigation Plan, dated November 2008. This letter-report serves as the second quarterly report for Year I monitoring. Phillips Edison & Company will need to submit three copies to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development by December 10,2009. Introduction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan will demonstrate that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation is being met. The data collected during the November 2009 monitoring visit was used to evaluate whether the second quarter Year 1 success criteria (shown below) were met. A) There will be no more that 15 percent of plant mortality during any Year I monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mortality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during any quarterly monitoring event. 125 N. 168 tl1 Strc-e-l Shoreline. W' ".:. i. i Jone: 206-801-7J54 • Cell Phone~ 206-251-9536 Specific characteristics that were evaluated during this visit included: • Counts of live and dead planted woody vegetation • Counts of native volunteer woody vegetation at least 12 inches tall and in good health • Percent cover of invasive and exotic weed species • Percent cover of herbaceous vegetation • Wildlife use of the mitigation area Five attachments enclosed with this letter provide detailed infonnation about site conditions: • Attachment B: Plant Survival Data • Attachment C: November 3, 2009 Photographic Documentation • Attachment D: August 5, 2009 Photographic Documentation (for comparison) • Attachment E: Percent Cover of Herbaceous Species and Invasive Species • Attachment F: Maintenance Schedule and Tasks Completed Monitoring Method Because this mitigation area is so small and narrow, the entire mitigation was walked and each planting was accounted for. Plant survival was determined by walking the entire mitigation area with one person calling out the species and condition (live, stressed or dead) of each woody plant encountered. A second person recorded the information on the project-specific field data sheet (see Attachment B). Photographs of the mitigation area were also taken (see Attachments C and D). As the survival count was conducted, the original planting plan was also reviewed to determine whether any of the plants observed were volunteer plants. Any native plants in good health that were taller than 12 inches were also recorded on the field data sheet. This method of documenting plant survival and eligible native volunteers is a change from the original plan to install permanent monitoring plots during the first year after installation. Monitoring plots typically cover only a percentage of the mitigation area and are best used to evaluate the percent cover of each species present within a discrete area. Using monitoring plots, data collected from a portion of the mitigation site is extrapolated to provide a reasonable estimate for the entire site. The method of walking the entire mitigation area was used because recording the condition of each and every plant provides the most precise representation of actual plant conditions. In larger mitigation areas, it is usually necessary to use monitoring plots as it is not feasible to connt every planting. However, the small size and linear layout of this mitigation area allows for an accurate connt of all plantings. The precise count of all live plantings allows for an accurate evaluation of the Year-I success criterion for plantings, which is based on percent survival and not percent cover. In Year-2, the success criterion for plantings changes to percent cover. At that time, pennanent monitoring stations will be installed and data on cover by species will be documented. Field data collected during the November 3,d site visit was later evaluated in the office, comparing current plant conditions to the number of specified and planted woody vegetation (by species) in order to detennine if any of the planted material was missing and to calculate the Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Y r-J First Qtr Monitoring , .- percent survival. This information was used to evaluate the success criterion for survival (presented later in this report). Percent cover for non-invasive herbaceous vegetation and invasive species was also recorded during the monitoring visit. While cover for herbaceous vegetation is not required for this late-full monitoring (the success criterion for non-invasive herbaceous cover is applicable only during summer monitoring in the first year), the percent cover of the herbaceous layer was documented to track the rate at which groundlayer vegetation is establishing in the mitigation area. The mitigation area was divided into three parts: south portion, central portion, and north portion (see Attachment E). Within each portion, a visual estimate of the percent cover of each species was recorded as a cover class estimate. The cover class system used a nine-increment scale known as the Octave scale, which enables close observation of small changes in vegetation cover. The Octave cover class table and percent cover by species within each of the three areas are given in Attachment E. Monitoring Observations Woody Plant Survival Observations during the November 2009 monitoring visit discovered 277 surviving trees and shrubs, plus 3 I volunteer native, healthy woody plants. The combined volunteer and the surviving plants totaled 308 plants for survival rate of 105% (see Attachment B). Ignoring the volunteer plants, the site still has a 96% survival rate for the planted woody material. The attached photographs provide a comparison of conditions on November 3, 2009 (Attachment C) to the conditions on August 5, 2009 (Attachment D). Because the plants were going dormant at the time of the November site visit, it appears that there is less plant biomass than in August. However, the plants have increased in height and width since the August visit. In spite of the very hot and dry summer this year, this mitigation area had a remarkable survival rate as compared to typical first year survival rates in mitigation areas. This is attributed to the irrigation at the site. Even though some of the plants had lost their leaves at the time of this monitoring visit, plants were easily determined to be alive based on the presence oflive buds and flexible (rather than brittle) stems. Some of the plants were missing and are assumed to have been removed from the mitigation area hy others as the maintenance contractor has removed only one replaced big leaf maple. During the August site visit, two of the big-leaf maples were identified as dead. Since then, one of the maples has started to re-grow from the base and is now recorded as live. The one Douglas fir identified as stressed during the August visit is recovering following the repair of the adjacent irrigation head. All of the needles are green; however it is smaller and less robust that the other Douglas fir plantings in the same area and is still identified as stressed at this time. There continues to be more native shrubs in the mitigation area than were originally planted due to the colonization of native woody species. Most of the planted shrubs survived with volunteers of black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera), snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) and red alder (Alnus rubra). Numerous Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) volunteers are also spreading throughout the mitigation area. Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Y r-l First QIr Monitoring , -- Non-Invasive Herbaceous Cover Non-invasive herbaceous plants and grasses are establishing well in the restoration area. All of the herbaceous species observed are typical pioneer species in mitigation areas. Attachment E includes a figure demarcating the south, central, and north areas of the mitigation site and a table showing the percent cover for each herbaceous species in each area The northern area had the most extensive herbaceous cover. This is assumed to be due to lack of overhead trees that compete for sun and water in the other areas. Ground cover in this area is dominated by field horsetail (Equisetum arvense) with minor cover of eight other herbaceous species. Overall, the northern area had approximately 67% cover. The central and southern areas of the mitigation site were not dominated by anyone species. The central area had small scattered patches of eleven species with an overall cover of approximately 24%. The southern area also had scattered patches of herbaceous cover, with nine species observed and an overall cover of approximately 23%. Overall, the entire mitigation had approximately 38% cover of herbaceous vegetation. This is an increase of approximately 13% since the first-quarter monitoring visit. Invasive Species An insignificant amount of five invasive species was observed in the mitigation site. Species present included common tansy (Tansy vulgare), birds-foot trefoil (Lotus comiculatus), English ivy (Hedera helix), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and Scots broom (Cytisus scoparius). Attachment E shows the percent cover for each of these species in the south, central, and north areas of the mitigation. These species occurred in small patches and had approximately 7% cover over the entire mitigation area. Wildute Use No wildlife was observed in or around the mitigation area and no signs of wildlife were observed. Because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and it's location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot, this lack of wildlife is expected in this first year when there is little to no available cover and food. Success Criteria Evaluatiou A) There will be no more that 15 percent of plant mortality during any Year 1 monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mortality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. The mortality rate at this second-quarter monitoring was only 4% for the planted material. if healthy volunteers that were at least 12 inches tall are included in the survival count, then more native plants are present than were originally planted This success criterion is met. B) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during any quarterly monitoring event. Invasive species comprise approximately 7% areal cover in the restoration area. This success criterion is met. Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l First Qtr Monitoring Contingency Plans The contingency plans that were recommended in the first-quarter report (August 31, 2009) had been completed at the time of the November site visit. A 2-gallon big-leaf maple was planted in the central mitigation area, the defective irrigation head was repaired, and invasive species control and trash removal were conducted regularly. Attachment F shows maintenance tasks completed by date. Specific contingency recommendations at this time include repairing the fence at the north end of the mitigation area near NE 4th Street (see the PS 3 photograph in Attachment C), staking up the Douglas fir that is leaning over in the central mitigation area, and making sure that the irrigation system is turned off and 'winterized' to keep pipes from freezing. General maintenance reminders for 20 10: • Weeding and other general maintenance should be done during the growing season of2010 in April, June, early August and September. • The irrigation needs to be turned back on by June 15th (or earlier if the weather gets hot and dry earlier in the spring) and checked monthly to make sure all heads are functioning and providing head-to-head cover. • The drip line of all plantings should be kept clear of any invasive plants and any tall-growing grasses and clovers. • Any re-growth of already pulled blackberry can be treated effectively by re-cutting the blackberry stems that are coming up and immediately swipe the tips with a glyphosate solution. No herbicide application should be used before July 2010. Walgreens -Renton 5 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration YT-!

Each monitoring report should be a stand-alone document. In addition to the current monitoring results and general site conditions, each monitoring report should include sufficient information (monitoring methodology; vicinity map; site map(s) with locations of the mitigation area, monitoring plots, photopoints, etc.) to allow other biologists to perform the monitoring, and for the City to verify the monitoring. This information will ensure accurate continuation of monitoring in the event of staff turnover in the current applicant's biologist's firm or if the applicant chooses to change consulting firms. In addition to the information currently provided in the 1 st Quarter Monitoring Report, the following information should be included in future monitoring reports: 1. Provide site address, vicinity map, and project site map. On the project site map, include a north arrow and the locations ofthe mitigation area, transects/monitoring plots (if used) and photo points. 2. Provide a list of dates and description of maintenance activities. Include information on activities such as weeding, replacing mulch, plants replaced (numbers, species, sizes, mitigation section, etc.), etc. The monitoring repots should continue to include: 1. Information regarding the methodology of how the installed plants were counted. 2. Data sheets from monitoring area or each monitoring transect/plot that includes: plot location and dimensions; species present and percent cover by Renton City Hall -1055 South Grady Way • Renton, Washington 98057 • rentonwa.gov • individual desirable native volunteer species and non-native invasive species; quantities and species of plants originally installed in the plot, installed plants currently present, and percent survival of installed woody plants; and overall percent cover by desirable native woody species (installed plus volunteers), herbaceous species, and non-native invasive species. Data should continue to be presented in tables. 3. General site conditions and observations, and other information included in the current monitoring report (such as the species and numbers of dead/stressed installed woody plants in the entire mitigation area, overall presence and cover by non-native invasive species, etc.). The project appears to be meeting performance standards, however, all recommendations on pages 4 and 5 of the report should be undertaken as soon as possible, specifically, the replacement of one big leaf maple tree and the continued regulation of invasive species. Two copies of the second quarterly monitoring report are due to the City by December 10, 2009. If you have any questions, I can be reached at (425) 430-7314.

IVlsian Transmitted by electronic email tocgrzybowski@phillipsedison.com RE: Year-l First-Quarter Monitoring Report Wetland & Stream Buffer Mitigation at Walgreens City of Renton, Washington Dear Mr. Grzybowski: 5EP 21 lODY Touchstone EcoServices (TES) is providing this Year-I first quarter monitoring report at your request. The monitoring schedule is in compliance with the City of Renton's permit requirements for the Walgreens store, located at 4105 NE 4th Street in Renton, Washington. The approximately 4,600 square-ft. wetland and stream buffer restoration area, situated in a narrow border along the east side of the Walgreens parking lot, was installed in April and May of 2009. The As-Built conditions were evaluated by Touchstone EcoServices in May 2009 and approved by the City of Renton. This letter-report documents conditions observed during Touchstone EcoServices' August 5, 2009 monitoring site visit. Site conditions are evaluated in this letter based on the success criteria presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan, dated November 2008. This letter-report serves as the first quarter report for Year I monitoring and you will need to submit three copies to Vanessa Dolbee at the City of Renton's Department of Community and Economic Development by September 10, 2009. The evaluation of the mitigation site is provided below. Introduction Meeting or exceeding the success criteria specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan demonstrates that the goal of enhancing buffer habitat as compensatory mitigation for buffer averaging is being met. The data collected during the August 2009 monitoring visit allows for an evaluation of the first quarter Year I success criteria as shown below: A) There will be no more that 15 percent of plant mortality during any Year I monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mortality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. B) During the summer quarterly monitoring event, 25 percent cover of installed and recruited non-invasive herbaceous vegetation will be present. 125 N. 168'h Street Shoreline, WA 98133. Phone: 206-801-7154 • Cell Phone: 206-251-9536 C) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during any quarterly monitoring event. The mitigation site was evaluated by Touchstone EcoServices on August 5, 2009. Specific characteristics that were evaluated during this visit included: • Bare ground areas • Counts of the live and dead planted woody vegetation • Counts of volunteer native volunteer species that were at least 12 inches tall • Overall percent cover of invasive and exotic weed species • Wildlife use of the mitigation area The three attachments to this letter provide the detailed plant count data (Table I), photographic documentation collected during this site visit (Attachment A) and, for comparison, photographic documentation from the as-built inspection on May 29, 2009 (Attachment B). The results of these findings are summarized below. Monitoring Method and Observations The method used to document survival of planted material involved walking the entire mitigation area and recording each observed plant as live, dead, or stressed on the field monitoring form. This change, from the original plan to either install permanent monitoring stations or collect data along transects using the point-intercept method, was made because the small size and linear layout of the mitigation area allows for an accurate count of all plantings. The original methods would have collected data from a percentage of the mitigation area that would then have been extrapolated for the entire site. The method used presents a count of the actual plant conditions. In addition to counting and docwnenting the condition of observed plantings, total plants counts (by species) in all categories were compared to the original number of each species planted in order to determine if any of the planted material was missing. Volunteer native plants were also documented if they were in good health and vigor and were at least 9 inches taIl. After completing the first quarter field monitoring, it was discovered that there was a discrepancy between the plant schedule (Table I and Figure 3) and the planting plan (Sheet 1) in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. The plant schedule specified 75 willows to be planted and the planting plan included only 47 willows. The actual installation used the planting plan to determine the number and placement of plants, so the lesser number of willows was installed. The entire mitigation area has plantings every four feet (or less) on-center. Typically, native shrubs are planted at four to six feet on-center. Thus, the nwnber of willows, as specified in the planting plan was appropriate for the area available for restoration rather than the nwnber of willows shown in the plant schedule. Adding any more willows would only serve to create competition for light and water at a rate that would result in unhealthy native plantings. Thus, the total nwnber of native woody plants installed came to a total of 286 (this count replaces the count in the as-built report that was based on the plant schedule rather than a count of willow symbols on the planting plan). The number of native woody plants were actually Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l First Qtr Monitoring installed in the buffer restoration area (see the attached Table 1) slightly exceeded the approved planting plan; for a total of 293 plants. Woody Plant Survival Observations during the August 2009 monitoring visit discovered 282 surviving trees and shrubs, plus 25 volunteer native woody plants. The combined volunteer and the surviving plants totaled 307 plants for survival rate of 106%. Ignoring the volunteer plants, the site still has a 98% survival rate for the planted woody material. The regular irrigation of the mitigation area is evident in the health and vigorous growth of the observed plants. The attached photographs illustrate this and provide a comparison of conditions on August 5, 2009 to the as-built conditions on May 29, 2009. All of the stressed plants appeared to have been affected by the extreme heat that our region has experienced this summer. Irrigation has kept most of the plants alive and healthy. Missing plants are assumed to have been removed from the mitigation by others as the maintenance contractor has not removed any plants. Three of the 31 planted trees had died, all of which were big leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum). All of these were in the central and north areas where the plants are more exposed to stress due to the sun and wind. One volunteer big leaf maple was observed along the east edge of the central area. All of the Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) trees survived and most were in good health. The one stressed Douglas fir was due to a mechanic problem with the irrigation system. One of the irrigation heads was tilted at an angle and the spray did not reach portions of the east planting row. As of the August 2009 site visit, there were more native shrubs in the mitigation area than were originally planted due to the colonization of native woody species. Most of the planted shrubs survived with additional volunteers of Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) throughout the restoration area. Additional volunteer native shrub species that had not been planted included black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera) in the central area and common snow berry (Symphoricarpos albus) in the southern area. Other volunteer species growing in the mitigation area that were not tall enough to be counted included red alder (Alnus rubra) and N ootka rose seedlings. Non-Invasive Herbaceous Cover As discussed in the as-built report, the native seed mix was not broadcast in the restoration area. Even though no seed was applied, herbaceous plants and grasses are beginning to establish in the restoration area. All of the herbaceous species observed are those that are typical pioneer species in mitigation areas. Ground layer plants in the northern section have more extensive cover than the other portions of the restoration area. This is assumed to be due to lack of overhead trees that compete for sun and water. Ground cover in this section is dominated by field horsetail (Equisetum arvense) with lesser cover of common velvetgrass (Holcus lanatus), common vetch (Vicia sativa), and a low-growing mustard species. The groundlayer in this area is comprised of distinct patches of dense vegetation; with an overall cover of approximately 25%. The central portion of the restoration area has approximately 5% cover of non-invasive herbaceous species that include the samc species as in the northern section and also Watson's Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l First Qtr Monitoring willowherb (Epilobium ciliatum), red and white clover (Trifolium pratense and T. repens), bentgrass species (Agrostis sp.), toad rush (Juncus bufonius), Dewey's Sedge (Carex deweyana), and broadleaf plantain (Plantago major). The southern portion of the restoration area has approximately I % cover of groundcover species that include nodding beggarticks (Bidens cernua), black medic (medicago lupina), bluegrass species (Poa sp.), common dandelion (Taraxacum officiniale), stinky Robert (Geranium robertianum), Watson's willowherb, creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens) and bent grass species. Invasive Species An insignificant amount of five invasive species was observed in the mitigation area. Species present included bull thistle (Cirsium vulgare), white sweetclover (Melilotus alba), English ivy (Hedera helix), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) and Scots broom (Cytisus scoparius). Overall, these species had approximately 5% cover. Wildlife Use No wildlife was observed in or around the mitigation area and no signs of wildlife were observed. Because of the very narrow dimensions of the mitigation area and it's location immediately adjacent to a well-used parking lot, this lack of wildlife is expected in this first year when there is little to no available cover and food. Success Criteria Evaluation A) There will be no more that 15 percent of plant mortality during any Year 1 monitoring event, or 20 percent plant mortality at the end of the first year will be acceptable. The mortality rate at this.!irst quarter monitoring was only 2%for the planted material. If healthy volunteers that were at least 9 inches tall are included in the survival count, then more native plants are present than were originally planted. This success criterion is meL B) During the summer quarterly monitoring event, 25 percent cover of installed and recruited non-invasive herbaceous vegetation will be present. Less than 25% cover of non-invasive herbaceous vegetation is present. This success criterion is not meL C) Himalayan blackberry, reed canarygrass and English ivy will comprise no more than 15 percent areal cover during any quarterly monitoring event. Invasive species comprise approximately 5% areal cover in the restoration area. This success criterion is meL Contingency Plans Recommended contingency plans based on the above findings include replacing one of the dead big leaf maple trees and repairing the defective irrigation head. Two of the dead big leaf maple trees were located in the central (wider) section of the mitigation area and the third one was located in the narrow northern section. No tree replacement planting is recommended in the northern section due to the density of trees and shrubs already establishing in that approximately Walgreens -Renton 4 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-l First Qtr Monitoring • 4-ft wide space. One replacement big leaf maple tree is recommended in the central area, to be placed in-between the two dead maples. For best survival, the tree should be a one-gallon plant planted this fall between October 1 st and November 15 th • The poorly functioning irrigation spray head responsible for the stressed Douglas fir planting has already been repaired in late August by the maintenance contractor. In addition, the irrigation system was checked to make sure that the entire restoration area now has head-to-head coverage. While the herbaceous plant layer has less than 25% cover in the restoration area overall, no contingency plan is proposed because the functions that an herbaceous layer would have provided are already being met. Given the restoration location and the depth and coverage of the existing mulch, it already serves to protect the soils from erosion due to rainfall during the rainy season and holds moisture in the soils during the drought season. Another function of herbaceous vegetation is to provide water quality improvement of runoff flowing into the buffer. This is achieved through adsorption of pollutants by the plants themselves, and slowing water velocity as it travels through the plant stems. Since the restoration area is situated behind the curb and above the parking lot elevation, and because runoff from the parking lot is collected and cleaned via Walgreens' stormwater system, there is no opportunity for the herbaceous layer in the restoration area to provide water quality improvement. Thus, there is no need to seed the ground in the restoration area. Rather, herbaceous plants and grasses can be allowed to volunteer and establish in the restoration area as possible given the amount of shade that is provided by the planted native shrubs and trees and the overhanging trees in the adjacent buffer. While not a contingency plan because invasive species control is an on-going task at the mitigation area, it is worthwhile to note the importance of regular invasive species control. While there is very little invasive and exotic plant species cover in the restoration area currently, the proximity of the heavily infested buller to the east will result in a continual encroachment in Walgreens' restoration area. At the time of the monitoring visit, the buffer to the east of the Walgreens mitigation area was overrun with Scots broom, Himalayan blackberry, bull thistle, white sweetclover, butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii), reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), English ivy, field bindweed (Convolvulus arvense) and Himalayan blackberry. All of these invasive species comprised approximately 75% of the critical area buffer to the east of the northern section of Walgreens' restoration area. English ivy and Himalayan blackberry were growing densely along the central and southern portions of the Walgreens restoration area. While the maintenance contractor for Walgreens' has been diligent in removing the encroaching invasive species, unless invasive and weed abatement is carried out on the buffer to east the invasives will continue to spread onto the Walgreens site. Because of the configuration of the Walgreens mitigation area, the narrow band of shrubs and trees will not provide enough shade to stop the encroachment of invasives over the long term. Signs observed along the eastern fence line signify that the buffer to the east is a mitigation area. Hopefully, that area is still under the monitoring and maintenance period so that the city can enforce invasive species control by the project proponent (this area also appears to have no functioning irrigation and the few planted native plants observed are stressed and being out- competed by the invasive vegetation which is much more drought-tolerant than the native Walgreens -Renton 5 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration Yr-I First Otr Monitoring • plants). Not only would invasive species control to the east ensure that the Walgreens mitigation area can be high functioning over the long term, it would also be in the best benefit for a functioning stream and wetland buffer as a whole.

Please see below for a detailed list of the remaining steps in the wetland mitigation/monitoring process: Next Step: Monitoring and Maintenance Surety Amount In order to provide you with the amount of security necessary for the maintenance and monitoring of the wetland mitigation plantings, signage, and fencing, we will need a copy of the signed maintenance and monitoring contract for this work. The scope of the contract mllst clearly cover the cost of plant maintenance and replacement as well. The contract should also ensure that "structures, improvements, and mitigation perform satisfactorily for a period of 5 years" (e.g. add proviSions for plant replacement and weed removal referencing compliance with the survival rates noted in the final approved wetland mitigation plan.) The contract must inClude quarterly monitoring reports for the first year and annual reports thereafter. Step Two: After installation of the mitigation is complete, please have your contracted biologist submit a letter verifying that the mitigation installation complies with the approved Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. If any portion of the installed mitigation is different then the approved plan, please have your biologist submit an "as built" plan set with the compliance letter and a biological justification for the changes to the approved plan. Step Three: Once you have a final, signed, City-approved maintenance and monitoring contract for the subject work, the City will request a surety device in the amount of 125% of the approved contract. The date the City receives written confirmation from the contracted biologist and the 125% surety device, the minimum 5-year maintenance and monitoring period will begin.

The approximately 4,600 square-ft. mitigation area is located within the NW \4 Section 15, Township 23 North, Range 5E, Willamette Meridian. This scope of work is based on infonnation you provided in emails and during our phone conversations, and in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffor Mitigation Plan prepared by Shannon and Wilson, Inc., dated November 26,2008. I understand that you need to monitor this mitigation area for 5 years in compliance with the City of Renton' s muoicipal code (RMC). This proposed scope presents the tasks and budget for the 5-year monitoring period. The City of Renton requires a minimum of 5 successful years of monitoring and maintenance, and has the discretion of increasing the monitoring period if the performance standards presented in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan are not met in any year. This scope covers only the first five years of conducting field monitoring and preparing the annual monitOling reports as described below. Any additional tasks that the city may require during the five year monitoring period or any additional years of monitoring can be completed under a separate scope and budget, as needed. Field work will be done with at least one field biologist in addition to myself. And additional help may be used during report preparation as needed. 125N.16B·Street Shoreline, WA 981330 Phooe:206-801-71S4 • CeIlPhone:206-251-9536 This scope does not include the as-built inspection, which is addressed in a separate scope and budget. Scope of Work This scope of work provides a brief desCliption of the monitoring tasks. The RMC chapter 4-8- 120.D.23 requires that monitoring be conducted and reports submitted quarterly for the first year and, after that, annually for years 2 through 5. Specific tasks to be implemented during monitoring are specified in sections 7, 8, 9 and lOin the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. The field monitoring will be done by establishing lO-ft diameter sampling plots every 30 ft. along a longitudinal transect that runs the length of the mitigation area. This sampling method will provide information of the percent cover, survival and health of vegetation that is used to determine whether the success criteria are being met This method is different than the point-intercept method specified in the Final Wefland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. In a phone conversation on May 6, 2009, Vanessa Dolbec at the City of Renton indicated that the monitoring methodology may be changed as long as the data collected was sufficient to detennine whether the success criteria are met The method that I use is one that has been used for decades for monitoring projects under the scrutiny of the US Army Carps of Engineers with success criteria similar to that required for this buffer mitigation. It requires much less time to collect vegetative data and will save some cost during the field monitoring effort. In addition to collecting vegetative information, wildlife use within the mitigation area will be documented and any conditions that could be detlimental to the success of the mitigation will be recorded. Task I; Year One -Quarterly Monitoring; Four field visits will be conducted during the first year of monitoring. Prior to field monitoring, the initial field forms to be used each monitoring visit to record plant species observed, percent cover of alI native plants and invasive species within sample plots, notes on survival and health of planted material, and notes on potentisl problems throughout the site such as invasive species, erosion issues, herbivory, etc. During the ftrSt site visit, the permanent vegetation sampling transects and photogrsphic stationa will be established (by plscing short stakes at each station) and each planted shrub and tree will be flagged for ease in identifying installed plants in subsequent monitoring visits. Buffer MonitoringIWa1greens_S-21-09 2 Touchstone EcoServices As required by the city, field monitoring will be conducted quarterly and the associated monitoring report will be prepared quarterly. Unless otherwise directed, Touchstone EcoServices will deliver the report to Phillips Edison & Company so they can deliver it to the city for their quarterly submittsl. Each quarterly monitoring visit will include re-flagging planted material if needed and documenting conditions for: • Percent woody plant survival • Percent cover of grasses and herbaceous vegetation (during S1IIll1Iler only) • Percent areal cover of noxious wceds • Photographs at established photo points If any of the success criteria for Year-One are not met, Touchstone EcoServices will contact Phillips Edison & Company to discuss the implications and possible contingency measures. At the end of Year One, a comprehensive plant count will be completed to document plant mortality through the buffer area. This mortality count will be provided to Phillips Edison & Company so that the landscape contractor who installed the material can replace dead vegetation. Replacing these plants will be integral to the success of the mitigation area. Task 2: Years Two through Five -Annual Monitoring Only one field visit will be conducted each year, as specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. However, I strongly encourage you to have the maintenance contractor conduct a field check of the site each April to identify any problems with herbivory and invasive species. While not required by the city, this informal monitoring can identify problems early in the year and allow adverse conditions to be addressed through maintenance or contingency actions before they become a major detriment to the success of the mitigation area. This is particularly important for invasive species control as your site is so small and it requires vigilaoce and regular maintenance to ensure that you meet that success criteria. In late summer, Touchstone EcoServices will conduct formal monitoring at the site. Conditions documented will include: • Percent woody vegetation survival within the sampling transects • Percent areal coverage of vegetation, including both installed and volunteer vegetation • Percent areal coverage of noxious weeds • Wildlife using the mitigation area Buffer MonitoringlWaigreens_S-21-09 3 TouchsooneEcoSenn~ • Annual photographs at established photo points • Conditions detrimental to the success of the mitigation area The annual monitoring report will be prepared each year and will include data evaluation of vegetation and percent cover colleeted at the monitoring transects, photographs taken at photo stations, invasive species presence and extant throughout the site, a description of any problems at the site and contingency options to rectify adverse conditions. Each year the collected infonnation will be evaluated using the success criteria specified in the mitigation report to verifY the evolving success of the mitigation. If any of the success criteria for a given year are not met, Touchstone EcoServices will contact Phillips Edison & Company to discuss the implications and possible contingency measures. Touchstone EcoServices will send one copy of each annual report to Phillips Edison & Company. This scope also includes the final meeting at the end of Year Five with regulatory agencies during the acceptance process of the successful mitigation. Assumptions My assumptions in preparing this scope and cost estimate include the following: • Phillips Edison & Company will set up a separate contract with a Landscape Contractor familiar with native restoration projects to do the maintenance necessary to ensure the mitigation area meets the perfonnance standards. • If any of the success criteria for a given year are not met, Touchstone EcoScrvices will contact Phillips Edison & Company to discuss the implications and possible contingency measures to include in the annual monitoring report. • Unless directed otherwise, Touchstone EcoScrvices will deliver one hard copy of the monitoring reports to Phillips Edison & Company and Phillips Edison & Company will submit the report to the city. Estimated Schedule After receiving notice to proceed from Phillips Edison & Company, work under this scope can commence following the as-built inspection.

Since the writing of the May 24th evaluation letter, the recommendations presented in the letter have been implemented. On May 29, 2009, Touchstone EcoServices conducted a second site visit with the landscape contractor and construction manager present to review the actions implemented in the mitigation area. The mitigation area now meets the approved installation specifications provided in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan, dated November 2008. The recent mitigation actions are summarized below. Attachment A presents photographs taken during the latest site visit. 1) The mitigation design called for 317 plantings using seven native tree and shrub species. While three plants were missing as shown on the planting plan, there were extra plants installed in other parts of the mitigation area. A total of 324 native plantings were observed during this as-built inspection, (see page 7 in Attachment A for locations of missing and extra plants). Recommended Action: None. May 29'! Action: None needed. 2) Five of the mock orange plantings appear to be dead at this time. Recommended Action: None. Wait until the first monitoring visit this summer to see if the plants re-sprout from the base. If they do not, they can be replaced at that time. This recommendation is contingent on the City being in agreement that some mortality during the first monitoring visit is acceptable as long as the plants are replaced prior to the fall monitoring visit. 125 N. 168m Street Shoreline'. \1',\ 'lX11'. Phone: 206-801·7154. Cell Phone: 206-251-9536 May 21)l!! Action: None needed. 3) Nine Scouler willow were used to substitute for big-leaf maple in the southern portion of the site. Recommended Action: None. This substitution is acceptable as the willow will provide tree canopy structure to the buffer and will provide the same shade and wildlife habitat in the buffer as the maple would have. Pages 1-5 in Attachment A indicate the location and species of substitutions. May 21)l!! Action: None needed. However, approximately 3 stressed maple trees were replaced with healthy specimens. 4) An ornamental tree has been planted in the wide portion of the buffer mitigation area. It is a Fraxinus penn. 'Summit Ash', the same tree that was also planting in the parking lot beds. Recommended Action: Only native species may be planted in the mitigation area. This tree will need to be removed. May 21)l!! Action: The ornamental tree was still in the mitigation area at the time of this visit. However, the landscape contractor indicated that the tree will be removed by June 2 nd and soil/mulch will be placed in the resulting hole. 5) Due to the close proximity of the plantings, wood chip mulch was placed throughout the mitigation at the specified 3-inch depth. Mulch was placed directly against the trunks and stems of the woody vegetation. This can result in mildew and/or fungus growth; which causes the eventual death of the plant. Recommended Action: Pull the mulch away from plantings and leave at least 3" of space around the stems and trunks of planted vegetation. May 21)l!! Action: This action was implemented throughout the mitigation area. 6) No hydroseed or broadcast seed mix (as specified in the mitigation plan) was observed in the restoration areas. Recommended Action: None. Due to the close proximity of the planted vegetation it is likely that the trees and shrubs will quickly shade out any grasses. The depth of the existing mulch and leaf cover of existing plantings will serve to protect soils from erosion due to rainfall in most of the mitigation area (the only exception being the area adjacent to offsite steep slopes, which is discussed below). May 21)l!! Action: None needed. 7) Permanent irrigation lines were placed along the length of the mitigation area. However, the spray heads (only a few inches above the soil surface) will likely not be talI enough to deliver the water over the entire restoration as the plantings grow in height. At the time of this inspection, the store was closed and Touchstone EcoServices was not able to test the installed irrigation system. Walgreens -Renton Recommended Action: Raise the spray heads at least two feet. Test the irrigation system by June IS'h at the latest to ensure it will function to provide water throughout the entire mitigation area by July. May 21)l!! Action: The irrigation system was tested at the time of this visit and spray heads were adjusted to provide head-to-head coverage. The current heads rise 6 inches and the irrigation was raised approximately 2 to 6 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration As-Built Addendum inches throughout the site. In addition to raising the system, the rotating spray heads will serve to provide water throughout the mitigation area as currently installed. The irrigation system will be tested annually during years that irrigation is required to ensure that the system is working properly. 8) Fencing and signage required by the city has been installed. Recommended Action: None. May 29'h Action: None needed. 9) Touchstone EcoServices dug shallow soil pits at various locations to see whether soil amendments were implemented as specified in the mitigation plan. Soil preparation did not meet specification over most of the mitigation area. Each area is described below: a. Soils in the northern portion of the mitigation area (soil pits A & B) -One inch or less top soil was placed and only 1 to 3 inches of mulch was placed over fill material consisting of sand, gravel and cobbles. The curb along the west edge of the mitigation area is raised high enough that the required one foot of topsoil could have been placed in the mitigation area. The concrete footings for the fence posts are exposed above the mulch surface in the mitigation area. Plants in this narrow strip have been planted directly into fill material, which has no apparent organic matter. The plants installed in the fill material currently look healthy. But as soon as the summer drought occurs, no amount of irrigation will support a healthy plant community that will meet the success criteria for Yr 2 (see Criteria B on page II of the mitigation report). Recommended Action: Pull out the plantings, add 12 inches of topsoil, re-plant the plantings and replace the mulch. May 29'h Action: Top soil was added through the northern portion of the site and plants re-placed in the top soil. In addition, jute matting was placed over the top soil and pinned along the resulting slopes from the fence line along the east side of the mitigation area down to the native soils to the east of the mitigation area. At least 3 inches of mulch was placed over this portion ofthe mitigation area. b. Soil in the widest portion of the mitigation area has the specified soil amendments in most of the area. Along the east fence (Soil pit C), adjacent to the steep slopes, no jute matting was placed, very little top soil and 3" of mulch was placed. Soils immediately adjacent to the slope have started to shift downhill and the root balls on several of the willows are exposed. Recommended Action: Replace top soil along the east edge of the mitigation area to cover plant's root balls. Place jute matting over the top of the soil and mulch along the east edge of the mitigation area (next to the steep slopes) and extending east one to two feet into the adjoining property (and placed around the existing plant stems on the adjoining property). Use metal pins at least I ft. long to pin down the jute mat, pin every 2 ft. on-center. May 29'h Action: Top soil was replaced along the east edge of the mitigation area and jute matting was pinned to the top soil from approximately 18 inches within the mitigation area and extending at least 2 feet down the slope east of the mitigation area. Mulch was replaced. c. Soil in the southern portion (soil pits D, E and F) -Top soil and mulch were placed as specified. However, numerous chunks of concrete and asphalt (up to 5"X 2" X 3") and Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration As-Built Addendum small pieces of rebar are mixed throughout the soil. In addition, a large pile of concrete and asphalt appears to have been recently placed in the buffer just east of the mitigation area (see page 5 in Attachment A for location and dimensions). Since Touchstone EeoServices did not see the site prior to construction, the City will need to determine whether the pile of construction debris is new and, if so, what the required action will be. Recommended Action (within the mitigation area): None. It will be important to observe the plants in this area regularly to determine they need additional irrigation due to the debris in the soil. The top soil will provide the nutrients the plants need and it is anticipated that the plant roots will around the debris in the soil as long as they receive sufficient water. May 21)l!! Action: Construction Manager indicated the pile of debris had been present prior to Walgreen's construction. No action needed. In addition to these recommended actions, Himalayan blackberry encroaching into the mitigation area was also cut back. It is important to note that the mitigation area to the east ofthe Walgreens' mitigation area is over-run with blackberry and Scot's broom. Because the north portion of the Walgreens' mitigation area is so narrow, even with thorough invasive species removal, shade from the planted trees and shrubs will not be sufficient to control invasives encroaching from the east. It will be important for the health of the entire wetland and stream buffer area to have the owner of the buffer to the east (of Walgreens) implement regular and efficient control of the Scot's broom and Himalayan blackberry on their site and to provide sufficient water to the trees and shrubs they have planted in order to help shade out the invasive vegetation. Please let me know if you have any questions about the information presented in this addendum.

The approximately 4,600 square-ft. mitigation area is located within the NW \<\ Section IS, Township 23 North, Range 5E, Willamette Meridian. This scope of work is based on information you provided in emails and during our phone conversations, and in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan prepared by Shannon and Wilson, Inc., dated November 26, 2008. I understand that you need to monitor this mitigation area for 5 years in compliance with the City of Renton' s municipal code (RMC). This proposed scope presents the tasks and budget for the 5-year monitoring period. The City of Renton requires a minimum of 5 successful years of monitoring and maintenance, and has the discretion of increasing the monitoring period if the perfonnance standards presented in the Final Wetland and Stream B,q[er Mitigation Plan are not met in any year. This scope covers only the first five years of conducting field monitoring and preparing the annual monitoring reports as described below. Any additional tasks that the city may require during the five year monitoring period or any additional years of monitoring can be completed under a separate scope and budget, as needed. Field work will be done with at least one field biologist in addition to myself. And additional help may be used during report preparation as needed. 125 N. 168* Street Sho"'line, WA 98133. Phoo", 206-801·7154 • Cen Phone: 20&-251·9536 llris scope does not include the as-built inspection, which is addressed in a separate scope and budget. Scope of Work. llris scope of worle provides a brief description of the monitoring tasks. The RMC chapter 4-8- 120.D.23 requires that monitoring be conducted and reports submitted quarterly for the first year and, after that, annually for yesrs 2 through 5. Specific tasks to be implemented during monitoring are specified in sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. The field monitoring will be done by establishing 10-ft diameter sampling plots every 30 ft. along a longitudinal transect that runs the length of the mitigation area llris sampling method will provide information of the percent cover, survival and health of vegetation that is used to determine whether the success criteria are being met. llris method is different than the point-intercept method specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. In a phone conversation on May 6, 2009, Vanessa Dolbee lit the City of Renton indicated that the monitoring methodology may be changed as long as the data collected was sufficient to determine whether the success criteria are met. The method that I use is one that has been used for decades for monitoring projects under the scrutiny of the US Army Corps of Engineers with success criteria similar to that required for this buffer mitigation. It requires much less time to collect vegetative data and will save some cost during the field monitoring effort. In addition to collecting vegetative information, wildlife use within the mitigation area will be documented and any conditions that could be detrimental to the success of the mitigation will be recorded. Task 1: Year One -Quarterly Monitoring: Four field visits will be conducted during the first year of monitoring. Prior to field monitoring. the initial field forms to be used each monitoring visit to record plant species observed, percent cover of all native plants and invasive species within sample plots, notes on survival and health of planted material, and notes on potential problems throughout the site such as invasive species, erosion issues, herbivory, etc. During the first site visit, the permanent vegetation sampling transects and photographic statiODll will be established (by placing short stakes at each station) and each planted shrub and tree will be flagged for ease in identifying installed plants in subsequent monitoring visits. Buffer MonitoringIWalgreens _5-21-09 2 Touchstone EcoServi""" As required by the city, field monitoring will be conducted quarterly and the associated monitoring report will be prepared quarterly. Unless otherwise directed, Touchstone EcoServices will deliver the report to Phillips Edison & Company so they can deliver it to the city for their quarterly submittal. Each quarterly monitoring visit will include re-flagging planted material if needed and documenting conditions for: • Percent woody plant survival • Percent cover of grasses and herbaceous vegetation (during summer only) • Percent area1 cover of noxious weeds • Photographs at established photo points If any of the success criteris for Year-One are not met, Touchstone EcoServices will contact Phillips Edison & Company to discuss the implications and possible contingency measures. At the end of Year One. a comprehensive plant count will be completed to document plant mortality through the buffer area. This mortality count will be provided to Phillips Edison & Company so that the landscape contractor who installed the material can replace dead vegetation. Replacing these plants will be integral to the success of the mitigation area. Task 2: Years Two through Five -Annual Monitoring Only one field visit will be conducted each year, as specified in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan. However. I strongly encourage you to have the maintenance contractor conduct a field check of the site each April to identifY any problems with herbivory and invasive species. While not reqnired by the city. this informal monitoring can identifY problems early in the year and allow adverse conditions to be addressed through maintenance or contingency actions before they become a major detriment to the success of the mitigation area. This is particularly important for invasive species control as yoor site is so small and it requires vigilance and regular maintenance to ensure that you meet that success criteria. In late summer, Touchstone EcoServices will conduct formal monitoring at the site. Conditions documented will include: • Percent woody vegetation survival within the sampling transects • Percent area1 coverage of vegetation, including both installed and volunteer vegetation • Percent areal coverage of noxious weeds • Wildlife using the mitigation area 3 Touchstone EcoServices • Annual photographs at established photo points • ConditiOllB detrimental to the success of the mitigation area The annual monitoring report will be prepared each year and will include data evaluation of vegetation and percent cover collected at the monitoring transects, photographs taken at photo stations, invasive species presence and extent throughout the site, a deacription of any problems at the site and contingency options to rectifY adverse conditions. Each year the collected information will be evaluated usiog the success criteria specified io the mitigation report to verify the evolving success of the mitigation. If any of the success criteria for a given year are not met, Touchstone EcoServices will contact Phillips Edison & Company to discuss the implications and possible contiogency measures. Touchstone EcoServices will send one copy of each annual report to Phillips Edison & Company. This scope also iocludes the final meeting at the end of Year Five with regulatory agencies during the acceptance process of the successful mitigation. Assumptions My assumptions in preparing this scope and cost estimate include the following: • Phillips Edison & Company will set up a separate contract with a Landscape Contractor familiar with native restoration proj ects to do the maintenance necessary to ensure the mitigation area meets the performance standards. • If any of the success criteria for a given year are not met, Touchstone EcoServices will contact Phillips Edison & Company to discuss the implications and possible contingency measures to include io the annual monitoring report. • Unless directed otherwise, Touchstone EcoServices will deliver one hard copy of the monitoring reports to Phillips Edison & Company and Phillips Edison & Company will submit the report to the city. Estimated Schedule After receiving notice to proceed from Phillips Edison & Company, work under this scope can commence following the as-built inspection. 4 Touchstone BeoServices Terms and Conditions Services will be provided on a time-and-expense basis in accordance with the attached Compensation Schedule and General Conditions, which are hereby made a part of this agreement. The estimated fee for this scope of services is described in the table below; reimbursables are included in each task budget.

Section 15, Township 23 North, Range 5E, Willamette Meridian.. The restoration has been done to meet critical area buffer requirements in compliance with the City of Renton's (City's) code. A site visit was conducted at the recently installed mitigation area on May 23, 2009 to observe and document the as-built conditions. The mitigation plan and installation specifications had been prepared by Shannon & Wilson, Inc. in the Final Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan, dated November 2008. The planting layout and specifications presented in that report were used to evaluate the plants, plant layout, and soil preparation at the mitigation site. A brief discussion of Touchstone EcoService's observations is provided below. Where existing conditions could interfere with meeting the success criteria, recommended actions are listed. Attachment A presents a hand sketch of the plant and soil conditions observed during the May 23, 2009 site visit. Attachment B presents photographs taken during the site visit. I) The mitigation design called for 317 plantings using seven native tree and shrub species. While three plants were missing as shown on the planting plan, there were extra plants installed in other parts of the mitigation area. A total of 324 native plantings were observed during this as-built inspection, (see page 7 in Attachment A for locations of missing and extra plants). Recommended Action: None. 125 N. J68 1h Street Shoreline. \~.\ YSI.1.1. Phone; 206·801·7154-• Cell Phone; 206-251-9536 2) Five of the mock orange plantings appear to be dead at this time. Recommended Action: None. Wait until the first monitoring visit this summer to see if the plants re-sprout from the base. !fthey do not, they can be replaced at that time. This recommendation is contingent on the City being in agreement that some mortality during the first monitoring visit is acceptable as long as the plants are replaced prior to the fall monitoring visit. 3) Nine Scouler willow were used to substitute for big-leaf maple in the southern portion of the site. Recommended Action: None. This substitution is acceptable as the willow will provide tree canopy structure to the buffer and will provide the same shade and wildlife habitat in the buffer as the maple would have. Pages 1-5 in Attachment A indicate the location and species of substitutions. 4) A ornamental tree has been planted in the wide portion of the buffer mitigation area. It is a Fraxinus penn. 'Summit Ash', the same tree that was also planting in the parking lot beds. Recommended Action: Only native species may be planted in the mitigation area. This tree will need to be removed. 5) Due to the close proximity of the plantings, wood chip mulch was placed throughout the mitigation at the specified 3-inch depth. Mulch was placed directly against the trunks and stems of the woody vegetation. This can result in mildew and/or fungus growth; which causes the eventual death of the plant. Recommended Action: Pull the mulch away from plantings and leave at least 3" of space around the stems and trunks of planted vegetation. 6) No hydroseed or broadcast seed mix (as specified in the mitigation plan) was observed in the restoration areas. Recommended Action: None. Due to the close proximity of the planted vegetation it is likely that the trees and shrubs will quickly shade out any grasses. The depth of the existing mulch and leaf cover of existing plantings will serve to protect soils from erosion due to rainfall in most of the mitigation area (the only exception being the area adjacent to offsite steep slopes, which is discussed below). 7) Permanent irrigation lines were placed along the length of the mitigation area. However, the spray heads (only a few inches above the soil surface) will likely not be tall enough to deliver the water over the entire restoration as the plantings grow in height. At the time of this inspection, the store was closed and Touchstone EcoServices was not able to test the installed irrigation system. Recommended Action: Raise the spray heads at least two feet. Test the irrigation system by June 15 th at the latest to ensure it will function to provide water throughout the entire mitigation area by July. 8) Fencing and signage required by the city has been installed. Walgreens -Renton 2 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration As-Built Evaluation Recommended Action: None. 9) Touchstone EcoServices dug shallow soil pits at various locations to see whether soil amendments were implemented as specified in the mitigation plan. Soil preparation did not meet specification over most ofthe mitigation area. Each area is described below: a. Soils in the northern portion of the mitigation area (soil pits A & B) -One inch or less top soil was placed and only I to 3 inches of mulch was placed over fill material consisting of sand, gravel and cobbles. The curb along the west edge of the mitigation area is raised high enough that the required one foot of topsoil could have been placed in the mitigation area. The concrete footings for the fence posts are exposed above the mulch surface in the mitigation area. Plants in this narrow strip have been planted directly into fill material. which has no apparent organic matter. The plants installed in the fill material currently look healthy. But as soon as the summer drought occurs, no amount of irrigation will support a healthy plant community that will meet the success criteria for Yr 2 (see Criteria B on page II of the mitigation report). Recommended Action: Pull out the plantings, add 12 inches of topsoil, re-plant the plantings and replace the mulch. b. Soil in the widest portion of the mitigation area has the specified soil amendments in most of the area. Along the east fence (Soil pit C), adjacent to the steep slopes, no jute matting was placed, very little top soil and 3" of mulch was placed. Soils immediately adjacent to the slope has started to shift downhill and the root balls on several of the willows are exposed. Recommended Action: Replace top soil along the east edge of the mitigation area to cover plant's root balls. Place jute matting over the top of the soil and mulch along the east edge of the mitigation area (next to the steep slopes) and extending east one to two feet into the adjoining property (and placed around the existing plant stems on the adjoining property). Use metal pins at least I ft. long to pin down the jute mat, pin every 2 ft. on-center. c. Soil in the southern portion (soil pits D, E and F) -Top soil and mulch were placed as specified. However, numerous chunks of concrete and asphalt (up to 5"X 2" X 3") and small pieces ofrebar are mixed throughout the soil. In addition, a large pile of concrete and asphalt appears to have been recently placed in the buffer just east of the mitigation area (see page 5 in Attachment A for location and dimensions). Since Touchstone EcoServices did not see the site prior to construction, the City will need to determine whether the pile of construction debris is new and, if so, what the required action will be. Recommended Action (within the mitigation area): None. It will be important to observe the plants in this area regularly to determine they need additional irrigation due to the debris in the soil. The top soil will provide the nutrients the plants need and it is anticipated that the plant Walgreens -Renton 3 Touchstone EcoServices Buffer Restoration As-Built Evaluation roots will around the debris in the soil as long as they receive sufficient water. Although not officially required for the as-built inspection, it was observed that Himalayan blackberry is encroaching into the mitigation area from the east throughout most of the mitigation. In addition, blackberry is re-establishing in the southern and central portions within the mitigation area itself, and is already nearly exceeding the success criteria threshold for invasive species cover. Invasive species control will need to be implemented immediately to ensure that success criteria is met at the time of the first monitoring visit. When controlling the blackberry, care should be taken to avoid the common snowberry shoots that are already volunteering in the mitigation area as this native species will contribute to the percent cover desired vegetation. Following through with each of these items will be necessary to meet success criteria for the mitigation area. The City has the discretion to require additional years of monitoring and implementation of contingency actions whenever success criteria are not met in any year. This report was prepared for the exclusive use of Phillips Edison & Company and their specific application to the buffer mitigation at the Walgreens store in Renton. The use by others, or for purposes other than intended, is at the user's sole risk. The findings presented herein are based on generally accepted planting methods for critical area restoration and on Touchstone EcoServices' experience and understanding of restoration work within critical area boundaries. Within the limitations of scope, schedule, and budget, the findings presented in this report were prepared in accordance with generally accepted sensitive area investigation principles and practices in this locality at the time the report was prepared. Touchstone EcoServices makes no other warranty, either express or implied. Please let me know if you have questions or want further information about the observations documented in this letter.

"--ac. \-uaJ 1i-',;, i'> I.a..r.\....d The planting plan is designed to establish native, non-invasive plant species in the reestablished buffel". The plant species selected for Ibis area are native to the project area and have displayed a high degree of success in similar restoration projects. See Table 1 for the plant species selected and Table 2 for the native seed mix that should be applied The planting plan calls for the installation 0017 native woody plants to be placed throughout the reestablished buffer. Planting should be done by hand in natura\, randomized clusters. All vegetation should be installed the Same day the plants are obtained. Plants that cannot be planted within one day aller arrival should be "heeled in" for protection against drying. For best results, planting should occur dnring the fall or winter seasons (October to February) when piants are most donnant and have Ibe greatest potential for survival. The seed mix should be applied at 80 pounds of pure live seed (PLS) per acre. Based on the area of proposed reestablished buffer (3,030 square feci), this would equal approximately 6 pounds of seed mix required This seed mix will help encourage the introduction of native grass and herbaceous species throughout the reestablished buffer. Seeds must be thoroughly mixed before being hand broadcast throughout the reestablished huffer. For best results, seeding should occur between June and August, assuming irrigation is provided. 7 Benn . ,.

DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: 1. Project Description and Background Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 30t 15 The applicant is requesting an Administrative Site Plan Review for a 14,820 square foot Walgreens drugstore with drive-through pharmacy window at 4105 NE 4'" Street (Exhibit 2). The subject site consist oftwo parcels 518210008 and 518210009; that total 49,508 square feet (Exhibit 3). The applicant has indicated that the two parcels would be consolidated prior to construction. The proposal also includes a redesign of the parking field and access points between the proposed Walgreens and the existing Les Schwab; in order to obtain greater efficiency and circulation as a joint parking facility. The project will impact two Critical Area Buffers; a Class 4 stream and a Category 2 wetland. The site is currently fully developed with a Brown Bear Car wash on parcel 5182100009 and a closed convenience store gas station on parcel 5182100008. Both of these existing faculties would be demolished in order to build the new Walgreens (Exhibit 11). Currently the convenience store gas station, Brown Bear Car Wash and the adjacent Les Schwab faculty all have separate ingress and egress points with individual parking facilities. These three sites are separated by landscaped islands. The Comprehensive Land Use designation is Commercial Corridor and the zoning is Commercial Arterial (CA) (Exhibit 6). Retail sales are permitted provided that they meet the size restrictions ofRMC 4-2-120A. The property is located within the NE 4th Street Business District and is, therefore, subject to Development Standards specific to this overlay district. All the properties surrounding the subject parcel are also zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The proposed Walgreens contains 11,655 square feet of net retail floor area (Exhibit 10), with a drive through pharmacy located on the south side of the building. The building would be one story and 28.08 feet high with a flat roof which would be architecturally compatible with the surrounding uses. The building would be faced with block materials in white and brick. The northwest corner of the building has an entry tower with the Walgreens' logo over a glazing system on both the north and west facades (Exhibit 7). The building entrance is proposed to be located on the northwest comer of the building. The entrance is proposed to be set at an angle to face NE 4th Street und the proposcd parking lot. Horizontal modulation breaks up the scale and bulk of the building along this fa"ade. This modulation would be created by equidistant vertical block material with windows and brick between. The proposed windows would be approximately 7 feet above ground with canopies above. The face of these facades would also contain a red Walgreens script sign that would be intemal illuminated and two individual letter signs that state, "photo" and "pharmacy" (all signs shall be applied for under a separate sign permit). The north fayade would be designed the same as the west fayade although; this fa,ade does not have an entrance proposed. In place of an entrance on the north fa,ade there would be a large opening in the wall that allows visibility of the entrance located on the west fa,ade. The canopies along this fa,ade would project over the proposed sidewalk into the right-of-way ofNE 4th Street, under these canopies the applicant has proposed a bench and refuse area in the vicinity of the existing bus·stop. The south elevation would be blank with no windows or modulation, This [a,ade faces the existing Les Schwab and would contain the drive through window for the pharmacy. The drive-though window's canopy would project 6 feet off the side of the building to cover the majority of the drive-through lane. The west elevation would be blank with no windows or modulation. This side of the building would be used for refuse collection and loading, secondary accesses to the building for employees only, the compactor enclosure and gas meter. In addition, two intemal roof drains would be attached to this side of the building for drainage collection. There would be continuous sidewalks providing pedestrian access to the entrance from NE 4th Street, pedestrian access from Union Avenue NE is proposed via" combination of 60-inch wide crosswalk and sidewalk through the parking lot, which would be defined by pavers, changes in texture or changes in composition of the paving Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Com ity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13, 2008 Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 4 of 15 (Exhibit 4). Pedestrian access from Les Schwab to the proposed Walgreens will be via the sidewalk along Union Avenue NE to the previously mentioned cross walk area. Vehicular access to the site on NE 4th Street would be changing from four full movement accesses to two right- in/right-out access locations. Vehicular acccss from Union Avenue NE would be reducing from four full movement accesses to two full movement access points. The existing combined site provided 51 surface parking stalls; four of which were associated with the Brown Bear Car Wash, eight associated with the gas station and the remaining with Les Schwab. The parking field for the Les Schwab and the proposed Walgreens would be reconfigured to create ajoint parking facility. This would allow for increased circulation and efficiency for both parking lots. To facilitate this arrangement a draft cross easement agreement has been proposed. The joint parking facility will provide 89 surface parking stalls, four of which are to be accessible. Walgreens maximum and minimum required parking is 47 stalls and the Les Schwab requirement is 36 parking stalls; as such, a request for the approval of 6 additional parking stalls was included in the application. At completion, the combined Les Schwab and Walgreens sites would contain 87.73 percent impervious material. The loading dock would be located on tbe west side ofthe structure. In order to provide the minimum clear area for ground level loading doors, wetland and stream buffer averaging of 2,849 square feet of buffer area to 3,030 square feet is proposed. The proposed project would result in a total of 128 net new daily vehicle trips, assuming credit for the existing gas station and car wash that would be removed. Of these, the proposed development is estimated to generate 18 new trips during the weekday PM peak hour. The site is served by Metro Transit route III. All existing landscaping is proposed to be removed from both the Walgreens and Les Schwab sites, except the landscaping along the southern property line of Les Schwab's parcel, would remain (Exhibit 8). The combined sites has a total of nine protected trees, four of which would be retained, all four of these trees are located on Les Schwab's property along the southern propeliy line. New landscaping would include the street frontage ofNE 4th Street and Union avenue NE along with a 1000 square foot public plaza located in fhe northwest comer of the parcel at the intersection ofNE 4'h Street and Union Ave. NE. There is new landscaping proposed in the parking field and surrounding the northeast comer of the new Walgreens building. Directly east of the subject site, an unnamed, seasonal tributary of Maplewood Creek runs southward, parallel to the property boundary before its confluence with Maplewood Creek. The off-site reach of Maplewood Creek is bounded by a wetland. Maplewood Creek and its tributary are considered a Class 4 stream and the off-site wetland is considered a Category 2 wetland. The buffer for a Class 4 stream is 35 feet and the buffer for a Category 2 wetland is 50 feet. Permanent weIland buffer impacts will be mitigated, by re-establishing the wetland and stream buffer along the eastern portion of the site. The proposed Walgreens has been located away from the culverted portion of the stream; therefore, no stream mitigation was proposed. 2. Staff Review Comments Representatives from various City departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and address site plan issues from the proposed development. These comments are contained in the official file, and the appropriate recommendations have been incorporated into this report. 3. Environmental Review a. Environmental Determinatio/l Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and SEPA (RCW 43.2IC, 1971 as amended), on March 25,2008, the Environmental Review Committee issued a Determination of Non-Significance - Mitigated (DNS-M) for the Walgreens on NE 4th Street project. The DNS-M included four mitigation measures. The 14-day appeal period end on April 14, 2008 and no appeals were filed.

Conformance with existing lalld use regulations; The subject site is zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The purpose of the Commercial Arterial Zone (CA) is to evolve from "strip commercial" linear business districts to business areas characterized by enhanced site planning, incorporating efficient parking lot design, coordinated access, amenities and boulevard treatment. The CA zone provides for a wide variety of indoor and outdoor retail sales and services along high-volume traffic corridors. Limited residential uses may be integrated into the zone if there are permanent physical connections to commercial uses. The zone includes five designated business districts with development standards designed to encourage concentrated commercial activity, a focal point of pedestrian activity along the corridor, and visual interest. The C A Zone is intended to implement the Commercial Corridor Comprehensive Plan designation. Lot Coverage -The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of 65 percent, or 75 percent if parking is provided within a building or within an on-site parking garage. Site data submitted for the purposed development indicates 29.9 percent site coverage by the building. The percent site coverage for both the Walgreens and Les Schwab site combined is 26.4 percent; which is within the allowable range for building coverage for the CA zone. Setbacks -The front yard setback is required to be a minimum of 10 feet. The front yard setback may be reduced to zero through the Site Plan Review process. The maximum front yard setback in the NE 4'h Street Business District is 15 feet. The proposed building would have a zero setback from NE 4'h Street at the NE corner but the building is not parallel to the right-of-way, as such the setback from NE 4'h Street is approximately 9 feet at the building's northwest corner. The north fa9ade of the proposed Walgreens would provide modulation as described above in the project description. In addition to the proposed modulation, the applicant has proposed to provide a planting strip along the north side of the building to sotten the edge between the sidewalk and the wall of the building; as such, staff recommends approval of a zero setback along NE 4'h Street. Projecting off of the north side of the building would be canopies; these would project into the right-of-way and would require a right-of-way usc permit. The side yard along a strect setback is required to be a minimum of 10 feet. This setback may be reduced to zero through the Site Plan Review process. As proposed the Walgreens has a 130 foot setback at its closet point along Union Avenue NE. There is no minimum rear and/or side yard setback requirements. As proposed, the project complies with the required CA zoning setbacks prescribed by City Code. Landscaping -The CA zone requires a 10-1'001 landscape strip along street frontages, except where reduced through the Site Plan Review process. The development standards require that all pervious areas be landscaped (RMC 4-4-070). A conceptual landscape plan was submitted with the application that indicates compliance with the landscape requirements ofRMC 4-4-070 and the CA zone. The 10-foot landscaping strip requirement is proposed to be reduced along the frontage of NE Forth Street, where the structure is closer to the edge of the property then 10 feet. and reduced to five feet along Union Avenue NE. The applicant has proposed 30-inch high masonry screening walls within the five foot landscaped area along Union Avenue NE to screen the parking area from the street. Staffrecommends approval of the landscape strip reduction to 5-feet due to the provided screening for the parking area. Within the proposed surface parking lot, 25 square feet of landscaping per parking space would be required for parking lots with 51-99 parking stalis. Based on the proposal for 89 surface parking stalls, a minimum of 2,225 square feet of landscaping would be required within the surface parking areas. The submitted landscape analysis indicates that a tolal of 3,292 square feet of landscaping would be provided. As Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Cor WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13, 2008 ity & Economic Development Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUAOB-014, SA-A, ECF Page 8 of 15 proposed the landscaping exceeds the minimum requirement. Additionally the NE 4'h Business District requires no more than six (6) consecutively clustered parking stalls without an intervening landscaped area of a minimum of five feet (5') in width and the length of the stall. As proposed the parking area would comply with this requirement. In addition, when parking lots front public rights-of-way or streets, street trees shall be required at a minimum rate of one tree every thirty lineal feet of street frontage. The provided conceptual landscape plan proposes seven street trees, two on NE 4'h street and five on Union Avenue NE. The existing landscaping along Union Avenue NE for Les Schwab is proposed to remain and is not included within the conceptual landscape plan. The proposed lineal footage along Union Avenue NE would be approximately 220 lineal feet of which 40 lineal feet is existing Les Schwab landscaping, 40 lineal feet would be for ingress and egress, and approximately 20 additional feet for the vision clearance triangle resulting in a total of 120 lineal feet for street trees. At a rate of one tree every 30 feet, four would be required. Five street trees are proposed along Union Avenue NE exceeding the requirement for street trees along Union Avenue NE. Along NE 4'h Street approximately 293 lineal feet exist of which, approximately 60 lineal feet would be for ingress and egress, approximately 40 lineal feet for vision clearance triangle, and approximately 115 lineal feet for the Walgreens building; resulting in a total of 78 lineal feet for street trees. At a rate of one tree every 30 lineal feet three trees would be required along NE 4'h Street. Two street trees are proposed which is one less then required. The applicant has indicated that the proposed Walgreens canopies would cause conflict with street trees as a result the applicant has requested the approval of two street trees along NE 4'h Street. Staff has reviewed the proposal and recommends approval of two street trees along NE 4'" Street instead of the required three. In addition to street tree requirements, the following parking lot landscaping would be required: at least one tree for every six parking spaces within the lot interior, and shrubs are to be planted at a rate of 5 per 100 square feet of interior landscape area. Thc provided conceptual landscape plan (sheet L-l) and site plan (sheet AD.I) have many conflicting numbers atld calculations. Staff recommends as a condition of approval that the applicant provide plan sets with consistent parking and landscaping calculations at building permit review. Due to the inconsistencies within the separate plan sets, the following calculations are based on the drawing on sheet L-l. The parking lot proposed would have 89 parking stalls at a rate of one tree for every 6 stalls (89 parking stalls/6 stalls = 14.8) 15 parking lot trees would be required. As proposed, the applicant has provided 15 parking lot trees, which would meet the requirement. The total interior landscaped area is 3,292 square feet at a rate of 5 shmbs per 100 square feet of landscape area (3,292 sq. ft. landscapingilOO sq. ft. * 5 = 164.6) 165 shrubs would bc required. The conceptual landscape plan indicated 97 shrubs within the interior landscaped area falling short by 68 shrubs. Staff recommends as a condition of approval, that a detailed landscape plan, providing 165 shrubs within the lot interior and an irrigation plan be submitted to the Department of COIllmunity and Economic Development, Planning Division, project manager for review and approval prior to building permit approval. The proposed landscaping would largely consist of Evergreen Shmbs (including Lily-of-the-Valley, Strawberry Bush, White Rockrose, llicks Yew, Drooping Leucothoe and Compact Oregon Grape), Deciduous Shrubs (including Gold-I.ear Japanese Barberry, Dwarf Red-Leaf Japanese Barbarry and Dwarf Purple Osier), Perennials (including Berginia, Bishops Hat and Gladwin Iris) and Kinnikinnick for groundcover. The proposed trees are Chanticleer Flowering Pear, Summit Ash and Service Berry. Underground sprinkler systems are required to be installed and maintained for all landscaped areas. The sprinkler system shall provide full water coverage of the planted areas specified on the plan. The entire site including the Les Schwab property there are 10 protected trees. Although, for this project staff has evaluate tree removal and retention based on clearing limits for the new development. Renton Municipal Code requires that 5 percent of the trees on site be retained. There are six (6) trees within the clearing limits for the new development of which 0.3 trees are required to be retained at the 5 percent retention rate. A tree inventory submitted by the applicant indicates zero trees would be retained. If the applicant does not retain any trees, it would result in the retention of zero percent of the existing trees, which is less then the required 5 percent retention rate. The applicant has proposed 23 new street trees and parking lot trees, which far exceeds the required replacement 3.6-inches; although, all the new trees are 1- Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Comn,unity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13, 2008 Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 901 15 3/4-inch caliper and the minimum rcquiremcnt for replacement trees is 2-inch caliper. Staff recommends as a condition of approval, that a finallandseape plan be submitted indicating a minimum of two of the proposed trees to be 2-inch caliper or greater in size. Height -The CA zone allows a maximum building height of 50 feet. The tallest point ofthe proposed building would be 21 feet 7 :4-inches to the flat roof. The tallest roof element, a comer tower, would be 28 feet 1 inch. Maximum Gross Floor Area -In the NE Fourth business district the gross floor area is restricted to 65,000 square feet The proposed gross floor area would not exceed this maximum. Parking/Circulation -The parking regulations require a specific number of off-street parking stalls be provided based on the amount of square footage dedicated to certain uses. The following ratios would be applicable to the site: Use Square Footage a[ Use Ratio MiniMax ReQuired Svaces Retail Sales 11,655 SF 0.4 spaces 1100 SF 47 Walgreens Showroom 4,880 0.4 spaces I 100 SF 20 Vehicle Service and 5,153 SF 0.25 spaces 1100 SF 13 Repair Warehouse and Indoor 3.840 SF I space I 1500 SF 3 Storage ---- Based on these use requirements, 83 parking spaces would be required to meet code. The applicant proposed to provide 89 spaces. In the NE Eourth Business District, the maximum number of parking spaces provided for uses within the corridor designation is limited to the minimum requirement in RMC4-4- 080FIO, Number of Required Parking Spaces. The applicant has requested a parking modification for the additional 6 spaces. Fourteen of the proposed 89 parking stalls are located over an existing access easement recoding number 8609230401 and 8810261102 on Les Schwab's parcel. Staff recommends as a condition of approval the applicant shall be required to remove the access easement from the property. The minimum width for drive ais!c associatcd with 90" parking head-in parking is 24 feet. The proposed parking plan conforms to the minimum requirements for drive aisle and parking stall dimensions. The parking regulations specify standard stall dimensions of 9 feet by 20 feet, compact dimensions of gy, feet by 16 feet. ADA accessible stalls must be a minimum of 8 feet in width by 20 feet in length, with an adjacent access aisle of 8 feet in width fix van accessible spaces. Compact parking spaces are not to exceed 30 percent of the total provided parking. The applicant has proposed 89 parking stalls of which 15 stall are proposed to be compact, which would result in 16.85 percent of the provided parking. It should be noted that the proposed compact spaces would be 9 reet by 19 teet, which is larger then the required 8Y, feet by 16 feet. The proposed ratio of standard parking stalls to compact parking stalls complies with the parking requirements. The number of required ADA parking stalls is based on the number of total parking spaces proposed. For parking lots with 76 -100 parking stalls, 4 ADA spaces would be required. The applicant has proposed 4 ADA parking spaces which would comply with the ADA parking requirements. According to the parking regulations, the loading space standards require adequate permanent off-street loading space shall be provided iftbe activity in such building requires deliveries to it or shipments from it of people or merchandise. The minimum clear area for ground level loading doors is 45 feet in front of each door. The clear space proposed on the east elevation of the new building is 45 feet. The applicant has requested driveway and parking modifications they are as follows: a) To exceed the maximum driveway width of 30 feet permitted by RMC 4-4-0801.3.c; and b) To exceed the maximum number of'pmking stalls permitted by RMC 4-4-080F.IO.e and RMC 4-3- 040F.l.d. Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Com., .... ,ity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13, 2008 Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUAOB-014, SA-A, ECF Page 10 of 15 Section 4-4-080Fd allows the Development Services Division to grant modifications from the parking standards for individual cases provided that the modification meets the following criteria (pursuant to RMC 4-9-25002): 1. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment; and 11. Will not be injurious to other property(s) in the vicinity; and 111. Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code; and IV. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and v. Will not create adverse impacts to other property(s) in the vicinity. Analysis: 1) Will meet the objectives and safety . .!imction, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by tile Code requirements. based upon sound engineeringjudgment. The applicant contends that reducing the number of driveways to half the historic number serving the subject three lots and relocating two ingress/egress points; they show compliance with city preferences on driveway location and integration with off-site traffic patterns. In addition, the contiguration of the driveways is indented to properly integrate traffic movements into and out off the site; as to provide maximum safety to the public, superior function, and maximum opportunity for landscaping. The applicant indicates that sound engineering is the sourced ofthe design for each driveway. The applicant contends that slightly exceeding the City's parking requirements would provide for convenience and safety to the public. In addition, the corporate preference of Les Schwab and Walgreens indicate that g9 parking spaces is the optimal number for their customers. The applicant contends that Walgreens is a national builder and knows it's parking needs and is concerned with the convenience and safety of their customers. The "overage" of parking is essentially on the Les Schwab site and has much to do with their historic use of their lot and with the nature of their business. Les Schwab being established at this location for a lengthy period their building and parking have been expanded to where it is today to meet the needs in the local market. All parking is deemed required and may exceed city code due to the nature of service (tire and repair work) whcrc customcrs leave cars for attention and staff parking is somewhat higher than simple everyday retail space. Statlhas reviewed the proposed requests. Based on the information submitted, it appears that the requested driveway width of 40 feet would provide adequate access for the deli very trucks visiting the site, while protecting the landscaping that would be installed along the street frontage and within the parking area. In addition, the increased parking numbers would allow Les Schwab to maintain the level of service they had previously with out hindering safety, function, and appearance. Therefore, the proposed modification would meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the driveway design standards. 2) Will not be injurious to otlier properly(s) in the vicinity. The applicant contends the proposed driveway locations, widths, and configurations as well as parking layout are not detrimental to neighboring properties, uses, or the neighborhood at large. In addition, the aspects of this proposal improve the existing condition and significantly upgrade the relationship of the property to thc neighborhoods by providing adequate on-site parking and safe and convenient access. The applicant has indicated that they anticipate traftie and congestion to increase in the future and the need for increase internal circulation and parking would be required. Staff concurs that the additional parking and driveway width modifications would not be injurious to other properties in the vicinity. Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Com",unity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13. 2008 3) Conform to the intent and purpose of the Code. Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 11of15 The applicant contends that the requested moditication complies with the intent of the code. In addition, the applicant has indicated that the code provides fOf administrative consideration of circumstances that the code cannot possibly address in all possible fmIDs and variations that may anse. Staff has reviewed the proposed modification; the CA zone indicates the incorporation of efficient parking lot design and coordinated access as part of its purpose statement. As such, staff concurs with the applicants conclusions that the requested modification complies with the intent of the code. 4) Can be shown to bejustlfied and requiredfor the use and situation intended. The applicant contents the requested modifications are justified and necessary for the overall developments proper faction and properties integration into the fabric of the neighborhoods. Staff concurs that the proposed driveway width and parking increase are justified and required in this situation as it would result in fewer traffic disruptions to the surrounding properties and maintain historic parking levels wile providing for enhanced internal circulation. 5) Will not create adverse impacts to other property(.,) in the vicinity. As stated under criteria number 2, the proposed driveway width would not create adverse impacts to other properties in the vicinity of this site. Based on the information provided by the applicant, the proposed width would provide better access for trucks accessing the project site than the 30-foot maximum width permitted by code and the increase parking would allows Les Schwab to maintain historic parking levels. Staff has review the request and has determined that the applicant has demonstrated good cause for the reqnested modification. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the requested driveway and parking modifications. Pedestrian Connections -The NE Forth Business District requires a minimum of one pedestrian connection to be provided to the entry or entries of each detached building to the street in addition to sidewalks required in RMC 4-6-060F. A minimum of one pedestrian connection shall be provided from each parking field located on the back and/or side of a building to the entry or entries. A minimum of one pedestrian connection shall be provided from caeh side of a property or development abutting or adjacent to commercial and/or residential nses. The proposed site plan proposed to provide pedestrian connections from NE 4'" Street to the building entrance via a concrete side walk. The pedestrian connection proposed from Union Ave NE is via a combination of sidewalk and crosswalk across the parking field. The proposed walkways will be identified with a change in texture, pavers, or changes in composition of the paving. The purposed pedestrian connections meet ADA requirements. Staff recommends that as a condition of approval the pedestrian walkways shall be defined with pavers, change in texture or changes in composition ,,['the paving to define their location. The Northeast Fourth Business District requires no less then a 1,000 square foot public plaza that shall be located at the intersection ofNE 4'" Street and Union Avenne NE. The proposed site plan and landscape plan indicate compliance with this req uirement. Refuse and Recyclable Deposit Areas -The City's refuse and recyclable standards for a retail development require a minimum of 5 square feet per every 1,000 square feet of building gross 1100r area for recyclable deposit areas and a minimum of 10 square feet per 1,000 square feet of building gross 1100f area for refuse deposit areas. Based on the proposed gross floor area of 14,820 square feet for the new building a minimum of74.1 square feet of recyclable deposit areas would be required and a minimum of 148.2 square feet of refuse deposit areas would be required. The approximate location of the refuse and recyclable areas are shown on the submitted site plan, and would be located at the rear of the existing building and screened from view of the surrounding prope11ies behind a natural cedar screen with secure, locked access gates. The Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Com ity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13, 2008 Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 12 of 15 applicant requested a modification for refuse and recyclables which states that the facility would provide an interior access hopper into a mechanical compactor placed on the outside of the building. The compactor bin is designed for removal and replacement so that refuse is never exposed nor made accessible. They also requested a waiver for recyclables because the facility has no needs for recycling pickup. The applicant stated that the facility will only create cardboard recyclables and this will be compressed and stored inside the store. The removal of the cardboard will be handled by their private contractor. Staff has reviewed the request and has determined that the applicant has demonstrated good cause for the requested modification. Therefore, staff recommends the approval of the requested modification of Refuse and Recyclables for the subject project. Signage -Signage will be reviewed under a separate permit. c. Mitigation of impacts to surroundillg properties and uses; City staff does not anticipate any adverse impact on surrounding properties and uses. The project is located in an area of commercial uses. All the surrounding parcels are zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). Commercial/service uses are abutting/adjacent to the subject site in all directions except the east. To the east is a parcel containing a wetland and stream, this is a vacant lot. If the future proposal for this lot would contain residential units, then they would be buffered from the subject development by the required stream and wetland buffers. The building is sited along NE 4th which provides visibility from the street. The building entrance is angled to address NE 4th Street and Union Avenue NE parking area. This design allows the building entrance to address both the street and the parking area. The building will meet all required setbacks from property lines and it will provide more than the code requires for a side yard setback along the west property line. The proposed commercial use is anticipated to be compatible with future surrounding uses as permitted in the C A zone. The existing site has historically been used as a commercial property. This proposal does not change the historic uses of the site. The redesign and redevelopment of the site would have positive impacts that would far outweigh the potential negati vc impacts. The proposed project would improve the north side of the block by providing landscaping and canopies for rain protection. It also would improve the west side ofthe block with landscaping and a public plaza with benches and lighting at the intersection ofNE 4th Street and Union Avenue NE. The impacts of the building scale and blank walls that face NE 4th Street would be mitigated, somewhat, by the purposed landscaping along the street frontages and the modulations in the fa9ades created by vertical block facing and high windows. Ii. Mitigatioll of impact' of the proposed site plan to the site; The scale, height, and bulk of the proposed building is appropriate for the site, and is anticipated to be architecturally compatible with the future development in the project vicinity. The Walgreens site is 49,508 square feet and would have a building lot coverage of29.9 percent of the site. The proposed building complies with the size and bulk requirements of the CA zone and NE Forth Street Business District. The proposal provides for 10,303 square feet of landscaped area, 7,0 II is perimeter landscaping and 3,292 interior landscaping on the combined site. The parking field is broken up with landscape islands no less then 5 feet wide and the length of the stalls at a minimum of every 6 stalls. Because the east edge of the site is within a wetland and stream buffer, this p0l1ion of the site would include natural vegetation. The remainder of the site would be impervious areas. Parking is proposed along the south and west sides of the building within surface parking lots. Pedestrian connections would be provided to connect the main entry of the building to the public sidewalk along NE 4th Street, Union Avenue NW, Les Schwab and the parking lots. e. COllservation of area-wide proper(y values; The proposed development is expected to conserve and possibly increase property values in the vicinity of the site. The development of the site provides improvements to infrastructure, landscaping and lighting and additional employment opportunities. Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Com, r ,unity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th REPORT OF August 13, 2008 f. Safety and efficiency of vehicle and pedestrian circulation; Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUAOB-014, SA-A, ECF Page 130f15 The parking field for the Les Schwab and the proposed Walgreens would be reconfigured to create a joint parking facility. This would allow for increased circulation and efficiency for both parking lots. To facilitate this arrangement a draft cross casement agreement has been proposed. Staff recommends as a condition of approval, that the draft cross access easement be finalized and recorded with the King County Assessors Office. The joint parking facility would provide 89 parking stalls, iour of which are to be accessible. Walgreens maximum and minimum required parking is 47 stalls and the Les Schwab requirement is 36 parking stalls; as such, a request for the approval of 6 additional parking stalls was included in the application. Vehicular access to the site on NE 4'" Street is changing from four full movement accesses to two right- in/right-out access locations. Vehicular access from Union Avenue NE is reducing from four full movement accesses to two full movement access points. This arrangement of circulation will allow the fewest points of ingress and egress along the public streets used for accessing this site. The proposed circulation system is designed for maximum safety and efficiency. g. Provision of adequate light ami air; The single-story building would not have a significant impact on light access or air movement on adjacent properties. The use of the project is not iniluenced by factors of light or air. According to code, parking lot lighting tixtures are to be non-glare and mounted no more than 25 feet above the ground. This is to help minimize the impact onto adjacent properties, Staff does not anticipate that exterior lighting would become an issue due to the siting ofthe building provided code requirements are met. A lighting plan was not submitted with site plan application, therefore staff recommends as a condition of approval that a lighting plan be submitted with the building permit application tor review and approval by the Development Services Division project manager. h. Mitigation of noise, odors alld other harmful or unhealthy conditions; Noise and odor impacts would occur for a short period of time during building and site construction The contractor would be limited to hauling according to "Haul Hours" (RMC 4-4-030C2) and construction activities shall be restricted to the hours between seven o'clock (7:00) a.m. and eight o'clock (8:00) p.m., Monday through Friday. Work on Saturdays shall be restricted to the hours between nine o'clock (9:00) a.m. and eight o'clock (8:00) p.m. No work shall be permitted on Sundays. Odors expected to be produced from the proj eet would consist of vehicle exhaust, which may be less then existing conditions created from a car w3sh and gas station. The building is proposed to be heated. Renton Municipal Code regulates screening of surface-mounted or roof-top mechanical equipment (RMC 4-4-095) i. Availability of public services andlucilities to accommodate the proposed lise; Public services are currently available to the site. The project is within the City of Renton water service boundary. There is an existing 8-inch water main located in NE 4'" Street and an existing 16-inch water main located in Union Avenue NE. In addition, an existing 8-inch sanitary sewer main and storm drainage facilities are located within both NE 4'" Street and Union Avenue NE. Additional right-of-way along NE 4'" Street is required to be dedicated; the applicant has indicated this dedication. In addition to the right-or-way dedication, the project needs to relocate the traffic signal pole, new longer mast arm, power pole and junction box. City of Renton Code requires commercial projects that are 10,000 square feet and more in size shall provide full pavement width per standard (so that the face of curb is 33 feet from NE 4th Street right-of-way centerline), curb, gutter and sidewalks along the full frontages of the parcel being developed on the project side, In addition to parking lot lighting mentioned above, street lighting is required for the subject project along street frontages. j. Prevention of neighborhood deterioration and blight. The architectural design and landsc3ping of the site would ensure that the property would make a positive contribution to the physical condition and visual aesthetic of the area. No deterioration or blight is expected Walgreens Administrative Site Plan City of Renton Department of Com ity & Economic Development WALGREENS on NE 4th Administrative Site Plan Report and Decision LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF REPORT OF August 13, 2008 Page 14 of 15 to occur as a result of this proposal. As long as design standards are maintained, the development would be compatible with the existing commercial arca. E.

THE LOTS FRONTING NE 4TH STREET ARE TO BE UTILIZED BY AND FOR A WALGREENS DRUG STORE AND IT'S CODE REQUIRED PARKING. THESE WALGREENS LOTS, PARCELS 5182100008 & 5182100009 WILL BE CONSOLIDATED PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW IMPROVEMENTS. THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB TIRE STORE IS TO REMAIN ON IT'S SEPERATEL YTITLED PROPERTY YET THE INTERVENING PARKING FIELD IS TO BE RECONFIGURED FOR EFFICIENCY, REVISED ACCESS AND CIRCULATION AS A JOINT PARKING FACILITY. THE WALGREENS PROPERTY OWNERS AND LES SCHWAB WILL PUT A CROSS EASEMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE TO FACILITATE THIS ARRANGEMENT. A DRAFT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS INCLUDED IN THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SUBMISSION. THIS PROPOSAL CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE GAS STATION, CAR WASH AND THEIR ASSOCIATED LOT IMPROVEMENTS THIS PROPOSAL WILL ALSO DEDICATE UP TO 8 FT OF NE 4TH STREET FRONTAGE FOR THE ULTIMATE WIDENING OF NE 4TH BY THE CITY OF RENTON. A DRAFT OF THIS DEDICATION IS INCLUDED IN THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SUBMISSION. THE EXISTING 4 FULL MOVEMENT ACCESSES FROM 4TH ARE BEING REPLACED WITH TWO RIGHT IN/RIGHT OUT ACCESS/EGRESS LOCATIONS. THE EXISTING 4 FULL MOVEMENT ACCESSES FROM UNION ARE BEING REDUCED IN NUMBER TO TWO.

IN SHORT, 8 EXISTING ACCESSES ARE BEING REDUCED TO 4. WITH THE DEDICATION OF UP TO EIGHT [8)FT OF FRONTAGE FOR THE WIDENING OF 4TH STREET; THIS DEVELOPMENT WILL INSTALL A NEW SIDEWALK, CURB,GUTTER. AND PORTION OF ASPHALT ROADWAY TO BLEND WITH THE EXISTING PROFILE OF NE 4THST. THE REVISED ARCHITETURAL SITE PLAN INCLUDED FOR THIS SITE REVIEW SUBMISSION INDICATES COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY OF RENTON'S ULTIMATE DESIGN FOR THE NE 4TH RIGHT-OF-WAY AS REPRESENTED IN THE CITY'S DOCUMENTED STUDY. WE ARE PROPOSING TO MODIFY THE EXISTING RADIUS CURB/SIDEWALK CONFIGURATION AT THE SE CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION OF NE4TH AND UNION ON THE BASIS THAT THE TRAFFIC SIGNALS REMAIN AS IS BUT ONE (1) ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION POLE IS BEING RELOCATED. THE CIVIL SITE PLAN. ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS REVISED SUBMITTAL PACKAGE. IS MEANT TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN CHANGES. THE CIVIL SET OF PLANS REPRESENT THE "EXISTING" CONDITIONS AND CURRENT APPEARANCE OF THIS ROAD WAY. THE SIDEWALK TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AS PART OF THE WALGREENS CONTRACT WILL BE BLENDED TO A SIDEWALK APRON ON PRIVATE PROPERTY PROVIDING A SPACE FOR A BUS STOP BENCH AND REFUSE CONTAINER. THIS REVISION OF THE SITE PLAN/LANDSCAPE PLAN ALSO ALLOWS FOR LANDSCAPING TO THE PRIVATE PROPERTY AREA BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE PUBLIC SIDEWALK AND THE NORTH FACE OF THE WALGREENS BUILDING. THE BUILDING CANOPY WILL PROVIDE WEATHER PROTECTION OVER THE PROVIDED BUS STOP BENCH. THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE PUBLIC WALK AND THE FACE OF THE PROPOSED DRUG STORE'S NORTH WALL IS TO BE LANDSCAPED AS REPRESENTED IN THE FINAL LANDSCAPE PLAN. ON-SITE IMPROVEMENTS: THE WALGREENS BUILDING IS PROPOSED TO HAVE A "0" SET-BACK AT THE BUILDING'S NE CORNER AND EXTEND WEST, TAPPERING AWAYFROM THE RIGHT-OF- WAY LINE, TO A MAXIMUM SETBACK OF APPROXIMATELY 9'-9" AT THE BUILDING'S NW CORNER. ALL CURRENT EASEMENTS WILL REMAIN AS IS WITH THE EXCEPTIONOF THE TWO 24 FT WIDE ACCESS EASEMENTS (5182100013, & 8609230401) RUNNING PARALLEL AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINE OF THE LES SCHWAB LOT AND THE EAST BOUNDRY OF THE PROPOSED WALGREENS LOT. THESE COMPRISE AN EASEMENT PATH FROM UNION TO NE 4TH STREET. INCLUDED IN THIS SITE PLAN REVIEW ARE DRAFT(S) OR QUIT CLAIMS TO REMOVE THESE ACCESS EASEMENTS THE DEVELOPER WILL BE WORKING WITH THE CITY ON THE CALCULATION OF OFF-SITE IMPACT FEES AND AS PAYMENT IN LIEU FOR WORK BEYOND THE NEW CURB LINE. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW WALGREENS STORE, PARKING LOT & LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A 1000 S.F. PUBLIC PEDESTRIAN PLAZA AT THE INTERSECTION OF 4TH AND UNION COMPLETE WITH LANDSCAPING, SEATING & BOLLARD LIGHT FIXTURES. ALSO PROVIDED FOR AESTHETIC REASONS ARE 30" HIGH MASONRY SCREEN WALLS WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE STRIP FRONTING UNION; AND WETLAND MITIGATION ALONG THE ENTIRE EASTERLY BOUNDRY LINE. THE WALGREENS LOT IS BEING PROVIDED WITH LANDSCAPING THAT IS IN EXCESS OF CODE AS PER THE TABULATED LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS ON THE REVISED L-I LANDSCAPE PLAN DATED 04-01-08. INTERNAL PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING IS 215% MORE THAN REQUIRED. THE NEW LANDSCAPING ON THE LES SCHWAB PORTION OF THE SITE ALONG UNION IS CONFINED TO THE PORTION OF FRONTAGE MADE AVAILABLE BY RELOCATING THE ACCESS TO A COMMON LOCATION AS NOTED ON THE PLANS. THE BALANCE OF NEW LANDSCAPING TO THE LES SCHW AB SITE IS APPROXIMATELY 70% OF CODE HOWEVER ADDITIONAL LANSCAPING IS PART OF THE WETLAND MITIGATION ALONG THE FULL LENGTH OF THE EAST PROPERTY LINES OF BOTH LOTS. WE NOTE. AS WELL. THAT WHERE CODE REQUIRES THAT WE PRESERVE ONE (1) OF THE EXISTING TREES. WE PRESERVE FOUR (4). THE LANDSCAPING PROVIDED ON THE REVISED DESIGN EXCEEDS THAT PROPOSED ON THE FIRST SUBMISSION BY APPROXIMATELY 1000SF. IT IS IMPORTANTTO NOTE THAT WHILE THE EXISTING OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SITE. COMPRISED OF THE GAS STATION. THE CAR WASH AND THE TIRE STORE, THERE IS NOT A STORMWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM AS HAS BEEN REQUIRED BY CODE FOR SOME TIME. THE CURRENT SYSTEM SIMPLY GATHERS STORMWATER AND PIPES IT TO THE EXISTING ADJACENT MAPLE CREEK WATERWAY. OUR SITE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL INCLUDES FOR AN UP TO DATE DETENTION VAULT AND TREATMENT SYSTEM THAT MITIGATES THE STORMWATER'S IMPACT ON THIS NATURAL WATERCOURSE AND THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE. ALSO, IT IS DEEMED AS A CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF A GASOLINE SERVICE STATION AND A CAR WASH WITH A DRUG STORE PROVIDE FOR A CONSIDERABLE LESSENING OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. THE IMPROVEMENT TO THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT CANNOT BE EXAGERATED. FREE-STANDING SIGNS: ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS: LANDSCAPE: IN ADDITION TO ON-BUILDING SIGNAGE AS INDICATED ON THE PROVIDED BUIDING ELEVATION SHEET, THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDES FOR AN UPRIGHT PYLON SIGN FOR WALGREENS LOCATED AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. THIS SIGN IS APPROX. 25FT HIGH (LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE OF 40FT) AND COMPRISED OF APPROX 90 SQ OF SIGNAGE IDENTIFICATION (LOGO) AND 34 SF OF AN ELECTRONIC READERBOARD PANEL. THE TOTAL SIGN AREA FOR THIS PYLON IS 125 SF WHICH IS LESS THAN THE 300 SF ALLOWED BY CITY CODE. THE SIGN WILL PROJECT 6 FT INTO THE 10FT REQUIRED SETBACK AS PERMITTED AND HAVE A GROUND CLEARANCE OF 8 FT. THIS FREE STANDING SIGN FOR WALGREENS HAS BEEN RELOCATED ON THE NEW SITE PLAN TO BE WITHIN THE 1000 SF CORNER PEDESTRIAN AMENITY AREA. GIVEN THAT ONLY A POLE OF APPROXIMATELY 12 INCHES SQUARE PROJECTS FROM THE GROUND, IT IS NOT DEEMED TO BE INCONSISTENT WITH THE USE OF THE AMENITY AREA. A SIGN IS SHOWN ALONG THE UNION FRONTAGE TO REPRESENT LES SCHWAB'S EXISTING PYLON SIGN WHICH THEY MAY RETAIN OR REPLACE. IF TO REPLACE LES SCHWAB WILL APPLY FOR PERMITS AS REQUIRED BY CITY CODE. $2,000,000 PLEASE SEE THE NARRATIVE ABOVE FOR DESCRIPTIONS OF THE REVISED LANDSCAPE PLAN BEING SUBMITTED WITH THIS DOCUMENT.BASED ON THE ATTACHED TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THE ATTACHED PROPOSED LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN IT APPEARS 4 OF THE 8 EXISTING LIVING TREES WILL BE REMOVED. OTHERWISE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB TIRE STORE, THE EXISTING SITE IS, FOR THE MOST PART, ENTIRELY RE-DEVELOPED FOR STORM DRAINAGE, PAVING AND LANDSCAPING. THE LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION CONTAINS THE LANDSCAPE CALCULA TIONS FOR THE OVERALL LOTS AS WELL AS PER THE REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING LOT INTERIORS. ALSO INCLUDED FOR IN THIS DESIGN PROPOSAL IS THE REQUIRED 1000 SF PEDESTRIAN PARK LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION. THIS PARK IS COMPLETE WITH PLANTING, SEATING AND ACCESS/BOLLARD LIGHTING. STREET TREES DO NOT CURRENTLY EXISTiNG ON EITHER FRONTING STREET. OUR DESIGN INSTALLS STREET TREES BUT WITH A REQUESTED DEVIATION ON SPACING AND PLACEMENT. REQUESTED DEVIA TlONS THE FOLLOWING DEVIATIONS FROM SPECIFIC CITY CODE REQUIREMENTS ARE REQUESTED: REFUSE RECYLCING: THE WALGREENS DRUG STORE HAS PARTICULAR NEEDS FOR THE HANDLING OF ITS REFUSE WASTE AS CAN WELL BE UNDERSTOOD. ALL WASTE IS DEPOSITED THRU AN INTERIOR ACCESS HOPPER INTO A MECHANICAL COMPACTOR PLACED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE. THIS UNIT IS CONCEALED BEHIND A NATURAL CEDAR SCREEN COMPLETE WITH SECURE, LOCKED ACCESS GATES. THE COMPACTOR BIN IS DESIGN FOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT SO THAT REFUSE IS NEVER EXPOSED NOR MADE ACCESSIBLE. THERE IS NO NEED FOR STAFF TO LEAVE THE BUILDING TO DEPOSIT MATERIAL INTO THE COMPACTOR. THIS FACILITY HAS NO NEED FOR RE-CYCLING PICKUP OTHER THAN IN IT'S HANDLING OF CARDBOARD (EXPLAINED LATER IN THIS PARAGRAPH) AS THAT DOES NOT FACTOR INTO ITS RETAIL OPERATIONS. GARBAGE REMOVAL IS BY PRIVATE CONTRACTOR/SERVICE, HANDLED CORPORA TEL y, AND INCLUDES FOR THE REMOVAL OF ACCUMULATED CARDBOARD THAT IS RETAINED PARKING: INSIDE THE STORE IN BALES COMPRESSED IN A HYDRALIC BALER. WE THEREFORE REQUEST RELAXATION OR DEVIATION FROM THE REFUSE REQUIREMENTS OF CITY CODE. CITY CODE LIMITS PARKING TO A MAXIMUM CALCULATION. PARKING CALCULATIONS FOR WALGREENS IS BASED ON THE NET RETAIL AREA AS PERMITTED BY CODE AND IS ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF 47 STALLS: THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB FACILITY IS BASED ON GROSS FLOOR AREAS AND IS ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF 36 STALLS. ALL CALCULATIONS ARE PROVIDED ON THE ATTACHED REVISED SITE PLAN. THE TOTAL PARKING PROVIDED ON THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SITE IS 89 OR 6 MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM CALCULATED TOTAL. WE THEREFORE REQUEST A DEVIATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE PARKING PROVIDED. IT IS OUR INTENTION TO NOT ERODE LES SCHWAB'S CURRENT QUANTITY OF PARKING WHICH THEY REGARD, BASED ON REAL TIME EXPERIENCE, AS NECESSARY FOR THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS PROVIDE CURRENT CODE CALCULATIONS BASED ON THE VARIOUS USES CONTAINED WITHIN THE LES SCHWAB FACILITY. OUR DESIGN INDICATES A SLIGHT OVER PARKED SITUATION BUT REQUEST THIS RELAXATION ON THE BASIS OF THE NEEDS OF THE OPERATOR AND THE NATURE OF THE USE. DRIVEWAY ACCESSES- CURB CUT: CITY CODE LIMITS THE MAXIMUM DIMENSION FOR THE WIDTH OF A DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO 30FT. WE REQUEST THE DEVIATION FOR TWO OF OUR 3 DRIVEW A YS TO 40FT FOR TWO REASONS: 1) FOR THE NEEDED MANOUVERING ROOM FOR LOADING TRUCKS, AND 2) TO ALLOW FOR ONE LANE IN-BOUND AND 2 OUT- BOUND. · . LANDSCAPING (PERIMETER): LANDSCAPING (INTERNAL) : AS THE MOST WESTERLY OF THE TWO DRIVEWAYS ON TO E.4TH IS A RIGHT-IN. RIGHT-OUT ONLY AND NOT SUBJECT TO TRUCK MOVEMENTS, 24FT IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS RE-DEVELOPMENT SCHEME REPLACES THE EXISTING 8 DRIVEWAY CROSSINGS WITH ONLY 5. WE ALSO SEEK DEVIATION FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO KEEP THE DRIVEWAY CURB 5 FT FROM A COMMON PROPERTY LINE IN THE CASE OF THE DRIVE IN THE NE CORNER OF THE SITE. THIS ACCESS IS PROPOSED TO BE IN THE SAME LOCATION AS AN EXISTING ACCESS WHICH DOES NOT MEET THIS 5FT SETBACK. WE WISH TO KEEP IT THE SAME. THE ADJACENT PROPERTY IS A WETLAND AND THIS RELAXATION DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPACT RELATIVE TO AN ADJOINING PROPERTY ACCESS DRIVEWAY. GIVEN THE PLACEMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS WE REQUEST DEVIATION ON THE EXACT NUMBERS & LOCATION OF STREET TREES AS PERSCRIBED IN CITY CODE. EXAMINATION OF THE CONCEPT LANDSCAPE PLAN WILL GRAPHICALLY DISPLAY OUR INTENTIONS. WHERE THE WALGREENS STORE IS BROUGHT TO OR NEAR THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK WITH OVERHANGING CANOPIES THAT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AS WELL AS BUS STOP PATRONS. PLACEMENT OF STREET TREES WOULD CONFLICT PHYSICALLY WITH THESE IMPROVEMENTS. THE REQUIRED PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING FOR THE "NEW" PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT PARKING LOT REGARDED AS WALGREENS MEETS CITY CODE B CITY CODE REQUIRES 8 PARKING LOT TREES AND 8 PARKING LOT TREES ARE PROVIDED. THE LES SCHWAB PORTION OF THE RE-STRIPPED PARKING REQUIRES 8 TREES IN THE PARKING LOT AREA, AND 7 ARE PROVIDED. WE REQUEST DEVIATION FROM MEETING CURRENT CODE INSOFAR AS EVEN IF ONE TREE SHORT, WE HAVE RETAINED 4 OF THE EXISTING TREES WHERE ONLY 1 IS SO REQUIRED FOR PRESERVATION BY CODE. WE ALSO BELIEVE THE NEW LOT LA YOUT IS SUPERIOR AND MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAN THE ONE BEING REPLACED. BUILDING SETBACK IT IS UNCLEAR IN CODE BUT WE BELIEVE IT IS ALLOWED THAT A ZERO SETBACK FOR THE WALGREENS BUILDING ALONG EAST 4TH STREET IS ACCEPTABLE. WE LIST THIS AS A REQUESTED DEVIATION HERE SHOULD WE MIGHT BE READING CITY CODE IN ERROR. THE PROPOSAL IS TO BRING THE NE CORNER OF THE BLDG TO THE PROPERTY LINE BUT AS THE ANGLE OF THE BUILDING FACE IS NOT PARALLEL TO THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE IS A SETBACK AT THE BUIDLING'S NW CORNER OF APPROXIMATELY 9FT. LANDSCAPE SETBACK THE AREA BETWEENTHE CITY SIDEWALK AND THE BUILDING FACE WILL BE CONCRETE, UNDER A BUS STOP BENCH BUT LANDSCAPED ELSEWHERE. WE ALSO PROPOSE TO HANG OVERHEAD STEEL CANOPIES FROM THE BUILDING INTO THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY OVER THE SIDEWALK. THESE ARE DEMOUNTABLE CANOPIES AND ARE APPROX 12FT OR MORE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE SIDEWALK AND PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION TO THOSE WAITING AT THE BUS STOP. ALONG UNION: CITY CODE ALLOWS FOR THE REDUCTION OF A 10FT LANDSCAPE PERIMETER STRIP TO 5FT THRU THE USE OF ALTERNATE DESIGN AIDS. WE THEREFORE INCLUDE AND SHOW 30" HIGH MASONRY SCREEN WALLS WITHIN THE 5FT WIDE STRIP PROVIDED TO SCREEN THE FRONT OF PARKED CARS. WETLAND BUFFER: THE WETLAND/CREEK BUFFER DEVIATION IS PROFFERED BY THE CONSULTING BIOLOGIST IN THE ATTACHED STUDY AND REPORT.

DRIVEWA Y ACCESSES· CURB CUT: CITY CODE LIMITS THE MAXIMUM DIMENSION FOR THE WIDTH OF A DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO 30FT. WE REQUEST THE DEVIATION FOR TWO OF OUR 4 DRIVEWAYS TO 40FT FOR TWO REASONS: I) FOR THE NEEDED MANOUVERING ROOM FOR LOADING TRUCKS AS SHOWN BY THE TRUCK TURNING TEMPLATE SUPERIMPOSED ON THE ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN AS·I, AND 2) FOR THE UNION STREET ACCESS ONLY, TO ALLOW FOR ONE LANE IN·BOUND AND 2 OUT· BOUND AS WELL AS FOR THE EXITING MOVEMENT OF THE WALGREENS LOADING TRUCK. THE STRIPING TO THREE LANES GREATLY ASSISTS MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES THRU THIS ACCESS DRIVEWAY AS EXITING TRAFFIC IS NOT CONJESTED DUE TO SOUTH BOUND EXIT TRAFFIC WAITING FOR A SAFE OPPORTUNITY TO EXIT ACROSS THE CENTER LINE; AND PROVIDING THE 29619 15 th Avenue NE, Stanwood, WA 98292 tS 9@att.net cell: 206·409·0755 phone: 360·629·3985 fax: 360·629·5435 ABILITY FOR NORTH BOUND TRAFFIC TO MOVE OUT UNAFFECTED BY THOSE WAITING TO TURN SOUTH. AS THE MOST WESTERLY OF THE TWO DRIVEWAYS ACCESSING EAST 4TH IS A RIGHT-IN, RIGHT-OUT ONLY AND NOT SUBJECT TO TRUCK MOVEMENTS, 24FT IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS RE-DEVELOPMENT SCHEME REPLACES THE EXISTING 8 DRIVEWAY CROSSINGS ON THIS COMBINED SITE TO 4, ONE OF WHICH IS UNCHANGED AT THE SW CORNER OF THE LES SCHWAB PROPERTY. THE OTHER THREE ARE MODIFIED IN DESIGN AND/OR LOCATION; TWO OF WHICH ARE RELOCATED ALL TO BEST SUIT THE SITE AT IMPROVED LOCATIONS ALONG THE TWO STREET FRONTAGES. TO THE ABOVE DESCRIPTION OF OUR DRIVEWAY DEVIATION REQUEST WE ADD THE FOLLOWING RESPONSES TO SPECIFIC APPROVAL MUNICIPAL CRITERIA FOR BOTH THE DRIVEWAY AND PARKING DEVIATIONS. A) OUR DEVIATION REQUESTS FOR BOTH DRIVEWAYS AND PARKING, WE BELIEVE, MEET THE OBJECTIVES AND SAFETY, FUNCTIONAL, APPEARANCE. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND MAINTAINABILITY AS INTENDED BY THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND SOUND ENGINEERING JUDGEMENT; RESPONSE: BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF DRIVEWAYS TO HALF THE HISTORIC NUMBER SERVING THESE THREE LOTS AND RELOCATING TWO WE SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH CITY PREFERENCES ON DRIVEWAY LOCATION AND INTEGRATION WITH OFF-SITE TRAFFIC PATTERNS. THE CONFIGURATION OF OUR DRIVEWAYS, TWO SIGNED AS RIGHT-IN AND RIGHT-OUT ONLY AND ONE SHOWN AS HAVING A DEDICATED LEFT TURN LANE IN ADDITION TO ONE IN-BOUND AND ONE DEDICATED RIGHT ONLY OUT-BOUND SERVE TO PROPERLY INTEGRATE TRAFFIC MOVEMENTS IN-BOUND AND OUT-BOUND WITH THOSE ON-SITE AND ON CITY STREETS. THIS SERVES TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM SAFETY TO THE PUBLIC, SUPERIOR FUNCTION, MAXIMUM OPPORTUNITY FOR LANDSCAPING AND PROVIDING NO ENVIRONMENTAL NEGATIVES. INDEED, SOUND ENGINEERING DESIGN IS THE SOURCE OF DESIGN FOR EACH DRIVEWAY. THE PARKING STALL NUMBER, I.E. RATIO OF PARKING PROVIDED TO FLOOR AREA OF USES ON-SITE, CONTINUES THIS SENSITIVITY TO PUBLIC CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY BY SLIGHTLY EXCEEDING CITY RATIOS IN FAVOR OF THE CORPORATE PREFERENCES OF THESE TWO REGIONAL RETAILERS. CLEARLY, WALGREENS BUILDS NATIONALLY AND KNOWS WELL IT'S PARKING NEEDS AND IS ULTIMATELY CONCERNED WITH THE CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE "OVERAGE" OF PARKING IS ESSENTIALLY ON THE LES SCHWAB SITE AND HAS MUCH TO DO WITH THEIR HISTORIC USE OF THEIR LOT AND WITH THE NATURE OF THEIR BUSINESS. BEING ESTABLISHED AT THIS LOCATION FOR A LENGTHY PERIOD THEIR BUILDING AND PARKING HAVE BEEN EXPANDED TO WHERE IT IS TODAY TO MEET THE NEEDS IN THAT LOCAL MARKET. ALL PARKING IS DEEMED REQUIRED AND MAY EXCEED CITY CODE DUE TO THE NATURE OF SERVICE (TIRE AND REPAIR WORK) WHERE CUSTOMERS LEAVE CARS FOR ATIENTION AND STAFF PARKING IS SOMEWHAT HIGHER THAN SIMPLE EVERYDAY RETAIL SPACE. STAFF PARKING IS KEPT ON-SITE AND THEREFORE WILL NOT IMPACT NEGATIVELY ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. B) THESE PROPOSED DRIVEWAY LOCATIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS AS WELL AS THE PARKING LAYOUT ARE NOT DETRIMENTAL TO NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES OR USES. OR INDEED TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT LARGE. SIMPLY PUT, THOSE ASPECTS OF THIS PROPOSAL IMPROVE THE EXISTING CONDITION AND SIGNIFICANTLY UPGRADE THE RELATIONSHIP OF THIS PROPERTY TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD BY PROVIDING ADEQUATE ON-SITE PARKING FOR THE UNIQUE NEEDS CONTAINED AND PROVIDING SAFE AND CONVENIENT ACCESS FOR NOW AND INTO THE FUTURE WHEN WE CAN ONLY EXPECT TRAFFIC CONGESTION WILL ONLY INCREASE. C) WE BELIEVE THESE DEVIATION REQUESTS COMPLY WITH THE INTENT OF THE CODE IN SO FAR AS THE CODE PROVIDES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE CONSIDERATION OF CIRCUMSTANCES THAT THE CODE CANNOT POSSIBLY ADDRESS IN ALL THE FORMS AND VARIATIONS THAT CAN AND DO ARISE. D) BY THE DISCUSSION AFFORDED ABOVE WE BELIEVE WE HAVE SHOWN THE REQUESTED DEVIATIONS ARE JUSTIFIED AND NECESSARY FOR THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENTS PROPER FUNCTIONING AND PROPER INTEGRATION INTO THE FABRIC OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. E) THAT THESE DEVIATIONS WILL NOT CREATE ADVERSE IMPACT TO THE OTHER PROPERTIES IN THE VICINITY IS ANSWERED IN ITEM B'S RESPONSE ABOVE. We are submitting this Deviation Request brief directly and will follow in a day or two with the up to date plans in full and reduced form. Should you need anything attended to further please advise. We continue to appreciate your positive and constructive assistance in advancing us to permit.

There are two existing buildings on the site that total 3,527 sq. ft. that will be demolished. The proposal site is made up of two lots, parcel 5182100009 (27,106 sq. ft.) and 5182100008 (22,400 sq. ft.) As proposed the eight existing access points will be reduced to four; two from NE 4th street and two from Union Avenue NE. The buffer of a wetland and Maplewood Creek exist on site; as such. a SEPAIEnvironmental Review will be required. No trees will be kept. Submitted with the project are the following studies: Stream and wetland mitigation plan (no delineation), Traffic Study Geotech. The applicant will install road, pedestrian and landscape improvements along 4th Street. Also included in improvements is an up to date detention vault and treatment system to mitigate storm water impacts. Modiftcations are requested to allow a wider curb cut than typically allowed for retail uses (40' vs. 30') and a modification to provide 11 off-site parking spaces at the Les Schwab Tire Store. When combined with the Walgreen's site, the two developments will jointly provide a total of 94 spaces, 11 more spaces than permitted by the parking code. A.

Signature of ~~~uthorized Representative Date PROJECT LUA 08-014, SA-A, ECF Walgreen's on NE 4th City of Renton Department of Planning / Building / Public Works ENVIRONMENTAL & DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REVIEW SHEET (Continuation) If there are payphones in the business complex, it is recommended they be outgoing use only. Public payphones tend to attract drug traffic and having only the ability to call out on payphones severely hinders this type of activity. All areas of this project need to have adequate lighting. This will assist in the deterrent of theft from motor vehicle (one of the most common crimes in Renton) as well as provide safe pedestrian travel for customers of the complex. The structure should have a building number clearly posted with numbers at least 6" in height and of a color contrasting with the building. Unit numbers for the dwellings should also be illuminated so that they are easily located. This will assist emergency personnel in locating the correct location for response. Landscaping should be installed with the objective of allowing visibility -not too dense and not too high. Too much landscaping will make customers, employees, and tenants feel isolated and will provide criminals with concealment to commit crimes such as burglary. It is key for a business complex of this size to have appropriate lighting and signage. "No Trespassing" signs should be posted in conspicuous locations throughout the property, including entrances to the property and parking areas. I highly recommend that the developer have a Renton Police Crime Prevention Representative conduct a security survey of the premises once construction is complete. Walgreen's drive-up pharmacy should be located as close to the front area of the store as possible. This should be well-lit and open to view. Pharmacies that offer this type of service have a high risk of burglary and/or robbery due to the narcotics available on the premises. PROJECT LUA 08-014, SA-A, ECF Walgreen's on NE 4th City of Renton Department of Planning I Building I Public Works ENVIRONMENTAL & DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION REVIEW SHEET (Continuation) POLICE RELATED COMMENTS 7 Police Calls for Service Estimated Annually CONSTRUCTION PHASE To protect materials and equipment it is recommended that all materials and tools be locked up when not in use. The sitc will need security lighting and any construction trailer should be completely fenced in with portable chain-link fencing. The fence will provide both a physical and psychological barrier to any prospective thief and will demonstrate that this area is private property. Construction trailers should be kept locked when not in use, and should also have a heavy-duty deadbolt installed with no less then a 1-1/2" throw when bolted. Glass windows in the trailer should be shatter-resistant. I also recommend the business post the appropriate "No Trespassing" signs on the property while it's under construction (flier attached). This will aid police in making arrests on the property after hours if suspects are observed vandalizing or stealing building materials. The use of off-duty police officers or private security guards to patrol the site during the hours of darkness is also recommended. COMPLETED BUILDING All exterior doors should be made of solid metal or metal over wood, with heavy-duty deadbolt locks, latch guards or pry-resistant cylinders around the locks, and peepholes. If glass doors are used, they should be fitted with the hardware described above and additionally be fitted with a layer of security film. Security film can increase the strength of the glass by up to 300%, greatly reducing the likelihood of breaking glass to gain entry. Access to the back of the buildings should be limited, preferably with security fencing, as these areas could be vulnerable to crime due to the lack of natural surveillance by business customers or tenants. It is recommended that the commercial areas be monitored with recorded security alarm systems installed. It's not uncommon for businesses to experience theft and/or vandalism during the hours of darkness. An auxiliary security service could be used to patrol the property during those times. It is important to direct all foot traffic into the main entrance of the building. Any alternative employee entrances should have coded access to prevent trespassing.

Existing Waler: This site is in the City of Renton water service boundary. This project site is located in the 565 Water Pressure Zone. The static water pressure at the street level is about 70 psi. There is an existing 8" watermain located in NE 4th St. See City of Renton water drawing W0240 AsBuilt for details. There is an existing 16" watermain in Union Ave NE. See City of Renton water drawing W0238 and W0245 AsBuilt for details. Sanitary Sewer: There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main in both NE 4th St and in Union Ave NE. Storm: There are storm drainage facilities in NE 4th St and Union Ave NE. REQUIREMENTS Water • Per the City Fire Marshall, the preliminary fire flow for this site is 2250 aPM if sprinklered. Any new construction must have one fire hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 aPM and shall be located within 150 feet of the structure and additional hydrants (also capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 aPM) within 300 feet of the structure. This distance is measured along the travel route. The number of additional hydrants required is dependent on the calculated fireflow, if it remains at 2250 aPM then 3 fire hydrants will be required. If the fire flow exceeds 2500 GPM the project will be required to install a looped watermain around the building. • Construction of a commercial building will trigger a separate review. • The existing fire hydrants may need to be fitted with stortz fittings to bring them up to current City code. • The final location of the fire hydrants will be determined based on the final sidewalk location. • The proposal needs to show a DDCV A. Internal DDCV A for fire service must be designed per City of Renton water standards and detai I requirements. • The Fire Service fee amount is based on the size of the fire service water line. • Existing water meters shall be cut & cap per City of Renton standards. Walgreen~ on NE 4th St NE 4th 5t o The Water System Development Charge fees are based on the size of each and all domestic water meters.

When combined with the Walgreens site, the two developments will jointly provide a total of93 parking spaces. The applicant is requesting a 14,820 sq. ft. Walgreens drugstore with drive through phannacy window at 4105 NE 4th Street. The subject site consist of two parcels 518210008 and 518210009 that are a total of 49,508 sq. ft. in size. The two parcels will be consolidated prior to the construction of the Walgreens. The proposal also includes a redesign of the parking field and access points between the proposed Walgreens and the existing Les Schwab; in order to obtain greater efficiency and circulation as a joint parking facility (Exhibit I). The project will impact two Critical Area Buffers; a Class 4 stream and a Category 2 wetland. The site is currently fully developed with a Brown Bear Car wash on lot 5182100009 and a closed c-store gas station on lot 5182100008 (Exhibit 2). Both these existing faculties will be demolished in order to build the new Walgreens. Currently the C-Store Gas Station, Brown Bear Car Wash and the adjacent Les Schwab faculty all have separate ingress and egress points with individual parking facilities. These fhree sites are separated by landscaped islands. The Comprehensive Land Use designation is Commercial Corridor (Exhibit 3) and the zoning is Commercial Arterial (CAl (Exhibit 4). Retail sales are permitted provided that they meet the size restrictions of RMC 4-2- 120A. The property is located within the NE 4'" Street Business District and is, therefore, subject to Development Standards specific to this overlay district. All the properties surrounding the subject parcel are also zoned Commercial Arterial (CA). The proposed Walgreens contains 11,655 sq. n. of net retail floor area, with the drive through phannacy located on the south side of the building. The building would be one story and 28.08' high with a flat roof (Exhibit 5). The building would be faced with block mutual materials in white and brick in copper. The building entrance is proposed to be located on the west side of the building. There would be continuous sidewalks providing pedestrian access to the entrances from NE 4'" Str~ct, pedestrian access tram Union Avenue NE is proposed via a combination of 60" wide cross walk and sidewalk through the parking lot. The parking field for the Les Schwab and the proposed Walgreens will he reconfigured to create a joint parking facility. This will allow for increased circulation and efficiency for both parking lots. To facilitate this arrangement a draft cross easement agreement has been proposed. The joint parking facility will provide 93 parking stalls, four of which are to be accessible. Walgreens maximum and minimum required parking is 47 stalls and the Les Schwab requirement is 36 parking stalls; as such, a request for the approval of 10 additional parking stalls was included in the application. Vehicular access to the site on NE 4'h Street is changing from four full movement accesses to two right-inlright- out access locations. Vehicular access from Union Avenue NE is reducing from four full movement accesses to two full movement access points. The loading dock would be located on the west side of the structure. In order to provide the minimum clear area for ground level loading doors, wetland and stream buffer averaging of2,849 sq. ft. of buffer area to 3,030 sq. ft. is proposed. The combined Les Schwab and Walgreens sites would contain 90% impervious material. The proposed project would result in a total of 128 net new daily vehicle trips, assuming credit for the existing gas station and car wash that will be removed. Of these, the proposed development is estimated to generate 18 new trips during the weekday PM peak hour. The site is served by Metro Transit route III. ERe REPORT OIl-O/4.doc City of Renton CED -Current PI ing Division WALGREENS ON NE 4TH STl Report of Mareh 24, 2008 . 'onmental Review Committee Report LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 3 of9 Directly east of the subject site, an unnamed, scasonal tributary of Maplewood Creek runs southward, parallel to the property boundary before its confluence with Maplewood Creek. The off-site reach of Maplewood Creek is bounded by a wetland, Maplewood Creek and its tributary are considered a Class 4 stream and the off-site wetland is considered a Category 2 wetland. The buffer for a Class 4 stream is 35' and the buffer for a Category 2 wetland is 50' (Exhibit 7). Permanent wetland butTer impacts will be mitigated, by reestablishing the wetland and stream buffer along the eastern portion of the site. The proposed Walgreens has been located away from the culverted portion of the stream; therefore, no stream mitigation is proposed. PART TWO: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW In compliance with RCW 43.2IC.240, the following environmental (SEPA) review addresses only those project impacts that are not adequately addressed under existing development standards and environmental regulations. A. Environmental Threshold Recommendation Based on analysis of probable impacts ii'OJl1 the proposal, staff recommends that the Responsible Officials: Issue a DNS-M with a 14-day Appeal Period. B.

Environmental Impacts The Proposal was circulated and reviell'ed by mrious City Departments and Divisions to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. SlafTreviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts: 1. Earth Impacts: The geotechnical engineering report prepared by The Riley Group, Inc. (dated November 14, 2007) states that the project site gently slopes down to the east with an overall elevation difference of 7 feet approximately. The site is generally underlain by 5 to 10 feet of fill overlying medium dense to very dense silty sand with gravel. The fill consists of loosc to dense sandy gravel to silty sand with some gravel and trace wood debris. The native soil is dense to very dense glacial till which consists of silty sand with gravel. It appears that the fill was placed previously during the site grading and utilities for the existing gas station ERe REPORT08-014.doc City of Renton CED -Current Pic " " "ng Division WALGREENS ON NE 4TH STl Report of Mareh 24, 2008 'onmental Review Committee Report LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 4 of9 and car wash on site. The soils will need to be compacted in order to support the proposed building foundations and floor slab. If loose fill is underlain the site it should be compacted and if organic soil is encountered it should be over-excavated and replaced with structural fill. The applicant estimates 90% of the joint site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction. The geotechnical report states that groundwater seepage was not encountered during testing; therefore the groundwater level seems to be deeper than the bottom of the test boring tennination depth. Although, based on soil condition, minor perched ground waleI' may be expected over the dense layer during the wet season. The Riley group report states that the potential of soil liquefactions during an earthquake event is low. To prepare the site for construction, the project purposes the demolished and stripping of existing building sand pavement. The surface stripping for rellloval of asphalt would be to depths of up to six inches. The geotechnical report did not include an estimate lor cubic yards of grading. Although the report concludes that the proposed project would be feasible from a geotechnical standpoint, the project proponent should follow the recolllmendations presented in the geotechnical study regarding site preparation (including demolishing, stripping depths, proof rolling and structural fill standards), foundation support (including placement and dimensions of tllOtings, bearing pressure, lateral resistance and foundation settlement tolerance), slab-on-grade (including construction support, capillary break layer, and thickness design standards), drainage and stonnwatcr (including drainage gradient, collection and disposal of surface water, and foundation drains), utilities and pavement. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall be required to comply with the reconunendations included in the geotechnical report, "Geotechnical Engineering Report, Prepared for Mr. Robert Sherry, Phillips Edison & Company," by The Riley Group, Inc. Bothell WA, dated November 14,2007. Nexus: SEP A, RMC 4-4-060 Grading, Excavation and Mining Regulations. 2. Water a. Wetland, Streams, Lakes Impacts: No wetlands andlor streams are present on site however, Maplewood Creek and associated wetlands are immediately east of the site; as such, the buffer of both the Class 4 stream and Category 2 wetland cross the subject property. The site contains 2,849 sq. ft. of standard wetland andlor stream buffer. The proposed buffer-averaging configuration included 3,030 sq. ft., the proposed buffer take area is 1,394 sq. ft., and the proposed bulTer giveback area is 1,575 sq. ft. As part of the application materials the applicant submitted a wetland and stream study dated, December 13, 2007 and a Conceptual Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan originally dated January 2, 2008 and updated March 17. 200R. Pursuant to the aforementioned study, the site is predominantly paved with the exception of small landscaped amenities. According to the provided Conceptual Wetland Mitigation Report, the current standard on-site conditions of the buffer area have no natural biological support functions or overall habitat. However, the on-site standard buftcr docs provide moderate erosion/shoreline protection. The proposed buffer averaging site conditions will provide a band of buffer along the eastern edge of the site ranging from approximately 5 to 25 feet in width. The widest portion of buffer will be located near the outfall of Maplewood Creek. The proposed butfer-averaging configuration will provide improved functions and values relative to existing conditions. This includes providing moderate floodlstonnwater control, base flow/groundwater support, erosion/shoreline protection, water quality improvement, natural biological support. overall habitat support, specific habitat functions, and cultural/socioeconomic values. Therefore the proposed buffer-averaging configuration will result in a net increase in functions and values. ERC REPORT 08-014.doc City of Renton CED -Current PI ·ng Divisio/l WALGREENS ON NE 4TH STJ Report of March 24, 2008 'onmental Review Committee Report LUA08-014, SA-A, ECF Page 5 of9 A tributary of Maplewood Creek extends under the NE comer ofthis site in an existing culvert which is protected by and easement #84707239001. Maplewood Creek, a Class 4 stream, has a 35-Ft. buffer that extends in to the subject site in two locations. A small portion of the buffer crosses the property line near the northeast side of the site and a larger portion extends into the site near the center of the east property line. Pursuant to the proposed site plan and buffer map provided by Shannon & Wilson, Inc. the stream butfer will not be changed andlor affected hy the proposed development. Also, the proposed Walgreens is proposed to be located away from the buried stream/culvert; therefore no stream mitigation has been proposed. Mitigation Measures: The applicant shall be required to comply with the recommendations included in the "Revised Conceptual Wetland and Stream Buffer Mitigation Plan" for Walgreens at NE 4th Street and Union Avenue NE, by ShamlOn & Wilson, Inc. Seattle WA, dated March 17, 2008. Nexus: SEPA, Critical Areas Regulations b. Storm Water Impacts: The project site drains to the Maplewood Creak, a sub basin of the Lower Cedar River Basin. The "Preliminary Technicallntlmllation Report," prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. (dated December 27,2(07) calls for all storm water to be collected, filtered, and stored in an underground detention vault and slowly released via hard connection to the existing site storm water system which connects to the above noted tributary. The estimated quantities are believed to be essentially the same as the current development which does not contain filter & detention. A conceptual drainage plan and report has been submitted with the fo=l application for this commercial project. The project reports that the drainage control plan is designed per the 2005 King County Surface Water Manual as required. Mitigation Measures: No further mitigation needed Nexus: N/A Transportation Impacts: Vehicular access to the site on NE 4'" Street is changing from four full movement accesses to two right-inlright-out access locations. Vehicular access from Union Avenue NE is reducing from four full movement accesses to two full movement access points. The proposed redevelopment of this site will included a road dedication to NE 4th Street for the widening ofNE 4th Street. Although, additional right-of- way dedication is needed at the property corner: the project needs to relocate the traffic signal pole, new longer mast arm, power pole, andjunctiotl box. Also the project applicant needs to design and install a channelization plan to include but not limited to the bus pullout and traffic curb to prevent left turns on NE 4th St. The parking field for the Les Schwab and the proposed Walgreens is proposed to be reconfigured to create a joint parking facility. This will allow tor increased circulation and efficiency for both parking lots. To tacilitate this arrangement a draft cross easement agreement has been proposed. The joint parking facility would provide 93 parking stalls, four of which are to be accessible. Wall greens maximum and minimum required parking in 47 stalls and the Lcs Schwab requirement is 36 parking stalls; as such, a request for the approval of 10 additional parking stalls was included in the application. The proposed project would result in a total of 666 trips per day. This number is offset by the 538 trips for the existing uses being replaced resulting in 128 net new daily vehicle trips. Ofthese, the proposed development is estimated to generate 18 new trips during the weekday PM peak hour. The site is served by Metro Transit route 111.

The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision makers (e.g. Hearing Examiner, Boards of Adjustment, Board of Public Works and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by the City or made by the applicant. I have completed my review on the Walgreens Drug Store preapplication located in Section 10, Township 23N, Range 5E and have the following comments. WATER: • • • • This site is in the City of Renton water service boundary. This project site is located in the 565 Water Pressure Zone. The static water pressure at the street level is about 70 psi. Pressure reducing valves shall be installed at the domestic meter ifthe pressure exceeds 80 psi. There is an existing 8" watermain located in NE 4th St. See City of Renton water drawing W0240 AsBuilt for details. There is an existing 16" watermain in Union Ave NE. See City of Renton water drawing W0238 and W0245 AsBuilt for details Per the City Fire Marshall, the preliminary fIre flow for this site is 2250 GPM if sprinklered. Any new construction must have one fIre hydrant capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM and shall be located within 150 feet of the structure and additional hydrants (also capable of delivering a minimum of 1,000 GPM) within 300 feet of the structure. This distance is measured along the travel route. The number of additional hydrants required is dependent on the calculated fIreflow, if it remain at 2250 GPM then 3 fIre hydrants will be required. If the fIre flow exceeds 2500 GPM the project will be required to install a looped watermain around the building. Construction of a commercial building will trigger a separate review.

This fee is only triggered if a larger than the existing watermeter is installed. • The Sanitary Sewer SOC fees are $0.142 (but not less than $1017) per square foot of property. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued. Please note that any parcel that currently has water and or sewer service is eligible for a prorated system development charge. Your project will be reviewed to determine how much redevelopment credit applies. This fee is triggered if a larger water meter is installed. STREET IMPROVEMENTS: • Construction of a commercial buiJding will trigger a separate review. • Per City of Renton code, commercial projects that are 5,000 -10,000 sq ft in size shall provide full pavement width per standard, curb, gutter and sidewalks along the full frontages ofthe parcel being developed on the project side. • Street lighting is required for a project this size along the frontage of the parcel being developed. • A Traffic Study will be required. • Traffic Mitigation fees will apply. These fees are calculated per the ITE Manual, 7th edition. • The driveway approach from NE 4th St will be required to be a right in right out only. TRANSPORA TION: Transportation has looked over the proposed layout and it appears to have fully accommodated _ .A"1.':'" the NE 3rdl4th Corridor Plan. The two right-inlright-out driveways on NE 4th Street look 1" ~9-{ , acceptable. .,,~ Specific comments: The narrative states that "the required road widening along NE 4th will be on the order of 6 fin. This is the minimum required additional right-of-way dedication needed. The width of the physical roadway widening will be greater as there is currently no bike lane or bus pullout. To accommodate the physical roadway widening, the sidewalk and curb return will move, likely requiring the relocation of a signal pole and a transmission line power pole. 1:~eclS\WALGREENSNE4THPA.docloor Walgreens on NE 4th St pre. NE 4th St A 6ft right-{)f-way dedication will end up at the back of sidewalk. We would recommend an additional 2 ft of right-of-way dedication to allow for street lights behind the sidewalk, rather than on easements. (Street lights, signal poles and utility poles are not shown on this layout). Additional right-of-way back of sidewalk is needed at the corner to allow for traffic signal poles and junction boxes. This right-of-way could be "squared oft". Transpiration recommends coordination with KC Metro regarding the bus stop on NE 4th Street. Metro may request the bus stop be located east of the westernmost driveway, rather than west of this driveway as shown. We in Transportation are willing to help facilitate this discussion, or at the least would like to be included in this coordination with KC Metro. STORM DRAINAGE: • A conceptual drainage plan and report is required to be submitted with the formal application for a commercial project. A drainage control plan designed per the 2005 King County Surface Water Manual is required. • The Surface Water SDC fees are $0.265 (but not less than $759) per square foot of new impervious area. These fees are collected at the time a construction permit is issued .• EROSION CONTROL MEASURES • All erosion control shall be per the DOE manual. AOIDFER: • The site is located in Aquifer Protection Zone 2 and may be subject to additional requirements per City code. Constructed secondary containment may be required if more than 20 gallons of regulated hazardous materials will be present at the new facility (RMC 4- 3-050H2d(i)). A fill source statement (RMC 4-4-060L4) is required if more than 100 cubic yards of fill material will be imported to the project site. Construction Activity Standards (RMC 4-4-030C7) shall be followed if during construction, more than 20 gallons of hazardous materials will be stored on site or vehicles will be fueled on site. Surface Water Management Standards (RMC 4-6-030E2 and 3)--Biofilters, stormwater conveyance, and water quality ponds may require a groundwater protection liner. Impervious surfaces shall be provided for areas subject to vehicular use or storage of chemicals. This is not intended to be a complete list of the AP A requirements nor does this information substitute for the full ordinance, it is only intended to guide the applicant to the City of Renton code book. GENERAL: • All required utility, drainage and street improvements will require separate plan submittals prepared according to City of Renton drafting standards by a licensed Civil Engineer. • All plans shall be tied to a minimum of two of the City of Renton Horizontal and vertical Control Network. • Permit application must include an itemized cost estimate for these improvements. Half of the fee must be paid upon application for building and construction permits, and the remainder when the permits are issued. There may be additional fees for water service related expenses.

The following comments on development and permitting issues are based on the pre-application submittals made to the City of Renton by the applicant and the codes in effect on the date of review. The applicant is cautioned that information contained in this summary may be subject to modification and/or concurrence by official decision-makers (e.g., Hearing Examiner, Zoning Administrator, Development Services Director, PlanninglBuildinglPublic Works Administrator, and City Council). Review comments may also need to be revised based on site planning and other design changes required by City staff or made by the applicant. The applicant is encouraged to review all applicable sections of the Renton Municipal Code. The Development Regulations are available for purchase for $50.00 plus tax, from the Finance Division on the first floor of City Hall and are available on the City of Renton website (www.rentonwa.gov). Project Proposal: The subject property, consists primarily of two tax parcels. The site is located in the southeast quadrant of the intersection ofNE 4th Street and Union Avenue NE. It abuts NE 4th St to the north and Union Ave NE on the west. The proposal is to develop the parcels for a Walgreens retail store/pharmacy with surface parking. A portion ofthe abutting property to the south (Les Schwab tire store) would be utilized as well for additional parking to meet parking requirements and to provide a portion of the queuing area for the drive up window. The tire store would remain, but the site entrance and parking would be reconfigured. Current Use: The parcels total approximately 1.14 acre, not including the portion of the abutting property to the south. The west parcel (22,400 sf, #5182100008) is currently developed with a convenience store/service station (vacant). The east parcel (27,106 sf, #5182100009) is a Brown Bear Car Wash. The Les Schwab tire store consists of 2 parcels totaling 54,733. The existing building straddles the tax lot line and parking is located on both parcels. Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation: The property is located within the NE 4th Street Business District of the Commercial Corridor land use designation. Applicable Comprehensive Plan objectives and policies are: Walgreens on NE 4th Street Prel September 6, 2007 ation Meeting Page2of6 Objective LU-GGG: Guide redevelopment ofland in the Commercial Corridor designation with Commercial Arterial zoning, from the existing strip commercial urban forms into more concentrated forms, in which structures and parking evolve from the existing suburban form, to more efficient urban configurations with cohesive site planning. Policy LU-346. Support the redevelopment of commercial business districts located along principal arterials in the City. Policy L U-347. hnplement development standards that encourage lively, attractive, medium to high-density commercial areas. Policy LU-348. Encourage consolidation of individual parcels to maximize flexibility of site design and reduce access points. Policy LU-349. Support development plans incorporating the following features: 1) Shared access points and fewer curb cuts; 2) Internal circulation among adjacent parcels; 3) Shared parking facilities; 4) Allowance for future transition to structured parking facilities; 5) Centralized signage; 6) Unified development concepts; and 7) Landscaping and streetscape that softens visual impacts. Policy LU-350. New development in Commercial Corridor designated areas should be encouraged to implement uniform site standards, including: 1) Minimum lot depth of 200 feet; 2) Maximum height often (10) stories within office zoned designations; 3) Parking preferably at the rear of the building, or on the side as a second choice; 4) Setbacks that would allow incorporating a landscape buffer; 5) Front setback without frontage street or driveway between building and sidewalk; and 6) Common signage and lighting system. Policy LU-352. Development within defined activity nodes should be subject to additional design guidelines as delineated in the development standards. Policy LU-357, Public amenity features (e.g. plazas, recreation areas) should be encouraged as part of new development or redevelopment. Policy LU-358. Parking areas should be landscaped (including street trees, buffers, berms), especially along roadways, to reduce visual impacts. In addition, the following objectives and policies are specific to the NE 4th Street Business District: Northeast Fourth Corridor Discussion: The Northeast Fourth Corridor is an active commercial area located at a gateway to the City. It features a wide variety of retail and service uses and several different structural forms from small professional offices to large-scale strip malls with major grocery anchors. 07"()81 Walgreens (CA, NE 4th Business District).doc\ Walgreens on NE 4th Street Prea ation Meeting September 6, 2007 Page 3 of6 Objective LV-PPP: A special commercial area should be designated along Northeast Fourth Street. The purpose of this area would be to enhance the commercial envirorunent to increase revenue oflocal businesses and the City's tax base. Policy LV-387: Within the Northeast Fourth Corridor, the "Business District" should be bounded by Queen Avenue NE (on the west) and Field Ave N.E. (on the east). Policy LV-388: The policies of the Commercial Corridor designation and the Northeast Fourth Corridor Business District should be implemented by Commercial Arterial (CA) zomng. Policy LU-391: To the extent possible, undeveloped parcels and pads andlor redevelopment in the Northeast Fourth Corridor Business District should feature street- facing building facades located a maximum of fifteen (J 5) feet setback from the non-curb edge of sidewalks abutting the principal arterial. Zoning: The property is located in the Commercial Arterial (CA) zone. The proposed commercial/retail use would be permitted and the drive-up window allowed as an Accessory Use to the pharmacy. In addition to CA development standards (RMC 4-2-120 "Development Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations") special requirements applicable to the NE 4th St Business District, RMC 4-3-040, "Commercial Corridor Business Designations," must be met. "l:nvironmental Review: The proposed project is not exempt from Washington State , Envirorunental Policy Act (SEPA) review due to the potential size of the building and number of parking spaces, Therefore, an environmental checklist is a submittal requirement. An envirorunental determination will be made by the Renton Environmental Review Committee. This determination is subject to appeal by either the project proponent, by a citizen of the community, or another entity having standing for an appeal. Site Plan Review: Projects that are subject to SEPA review located within the Commercial Arterial zone are subject to Site Plan Review. Based on the project size, the review would be done administratively (no public hearing). The submittal requirements for Site Plan Review e included with the preapplication memo. Encroachments and Easements: If there are any encroachment issues with neighboring lots, we recommend that the applicant address these prior to commencing to develop the property. A property survey, which is required with the land use master application submittal, should indicate such encroachments. A "Joint Parking Agreement" would need to be recorded for shared use of the Les Schwab property. Critical Areas: There are no known critical areas on the site. It is the responsibility of the applicant to provide information verifying this assumption. A geotechnical engineering report 07-081 Walgreens (CA, NE 4th Business DistJict).doc\ Walgreens on NE 4th Street Prea September 6, 2007 Page 4 of6 tion Meeting that includes subsurface exploration and construction recommendations may be required prior to obtaining a building permit. Development Standards: RMC 4-2-120A, "Development Standards for Commercial Zoning Designations" apply to new development on the site. A copy of the development standards, RMC 4-2-11 OF, can be found in the packet given to the applicant at the pre-application meeting. Lot size--The propo~opment narrative does not indicate that the property will be subdivided jptoindividuallots. If/ots are formed, the CA zone requires a minimum lot size of 1,2qo...sr. An application for subdivision would also be required at the time of e~nmental and site plan review application. In the NE 4th Street Business District, development standards limit the gross floor area of any single office building or commercial use on the site to 35,000 sf (except grocery stores). The total gross floor area of office and commercial uses cannot exceed 50 percent ofthe gross square footage of the site. Some flexibility in this standard is provided, however, and Conditional Permits may be issued if necessary (see RMC 4-2-120C note 2). The proposed project does not appear to approach these dimensions. Lot coverage -The CA zone allows a maximum building coverage of65 percent, or 75 _ percent if parking is provided within a buildIng or within an on-site parking garage. Site data submitted for the preapplication conference indicates 29.9 percent site coverage by the building. Setbacks -Setbacks are the distance between the building and the property line or any private access easement. The front yard setback is required to be a minimum of 10 feet. The front yard setback may be reduced to zero through the Site Plan Review process. The maximum front yard setback in the NE 4th Street Business District is 15 feet. Parking is not allowed within the setback area. The side yard along a street setback is required to be a minimum of 10 feet. This setback may be reduced to zero through the Site Plan Review process. There is no minimum rear yard setback. The setbacks appear to be adequate as proposed. Building height -The maximum building height is 50 feet. The proposed height is 30 feet. Refuse and Recycling Areas: Refuse and recycling areas must be screened (RMC 4-4-090) and accessible to waste management vehicles. Tree Preservation: An inventory of existing trees will be a submittal requirement. Trees to be preserved and/or removed must be indicated on a plan submitted with the land use master application. Twenty-five percent of the significant trees on the site must be retained, or replaced with suitable equivalent trees at a ratio of I: I and no smaller than 2 inches in caliper size (dbh). 07-081 Walgreens (CA, NE 4th Business District).doc\ Walgreens on NE 4th Street Prea ation Meeting September 6, 2007 Page 5 of6 Landscaping: The development standards require that all pervious areas be landscaped. All landscape areas are to include an underground irrigation system. Refer to landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) for further general and specific landscape requirements. Parking lots and parking areas are to be landscaped. See RMC 4-4-080F7 for parking area landscaping requirements. A conceptual landscape plan and landscape analysis meeting the requirements in RMC 4-8- 120D, shall be submitted at the time of application for Site Plan Review. Access: Access would be from both NE 4th St and flfilS:ton Ave NE. Attention should be paid to coordinating the location of the project entry driveway with the location of existing curb cuts on the adjacent project (east of Bremerton), so that a public safety issue avoided. Parking: Parking for nonresidential uses is based on the net square footage of the specific use. See RMC 4-4-080 for general parking regulations, including dimensions of parking areas, and RMC 4-4-080FI 0 for number of spaces required based on use type. The total parking requirement would be based on the sum of the requirements for the various uses that would share the parking area between the existing Schwab building and the proposed Walgreens. In the NE 4th St Business Corridor the maximum amount of parking allowed is the same as the minimum allowed in the CA zone elsewhere. The minimumlmaximum parking ratios are as follows: retail (Walgreens) 0.4 space for every 100 sf of net floor area; warehouse (Schwab) I space for every 1,500 nsf; and on-site services (Schwab) 0.4 space for every 100 /\ ~ ~,~ Based on information provided and obtained elsewhere (King County tax records) it appears the proposal would meet the joint parking requirements. lfthe proposed building is 14,800 net square foot of retail space (59 spaces required) and the Schwab building has 4,832 nsfof warehouse area (3 spaces) and 8,468 nsf of on site service area (34 spaces), the total required would be 96 spaces, which is the amount shown on the proposed plan. A stacking space requirement for the drive-up window is applicable. The stacking requirement is for 5 spaces per window. The spaces cannot obstruct parking spaces, ingress/egress to the site, or the public right-of-way. It appears adequate stacking area would be provided, however the Transportation Division should comment on potential conflicts between the loading bay area and the pull out from the drive-up window. The ratio of accessible spaces for 59 parking stalls is 3, but the number for 96 parking stalls is 4. Three accessible spaces are shown on the plan. This would meet the requirement for the ratio of spaces required for the Walgreens, but would leave the Schwab building with no accessible spaces. The redesign of the Schwab parking area would require modification to provide one accessible space. 07-081 Wa1greens (CA, NE 4th Business District).doc\ ~~"'- Walgreens on NE 4th Street Prea ation Meeting September 6, 2007 Page 6 of6 Special Development Standards for the NE 4th Street Business District (RMC 4-3-040): In addition to the above mentioned development standards, some of which are specific to the NE 4th Street Business District, the following also would apply: • ~. Public Plaza: A public plaza must be provided at the comer ofNE 4th St and Union Ave NE. The minimum size is 1,000 sfwith a minimum dimension of20 feet on one side abutting the sidewalk. A sign is located at this corner, which is approximately 750 sf not including the sidewalk area. This corner would have to be redesigned. • • Pedestrian connections are required from building entries to sidewalks. The proposed plan appears to comply. ~~ r C!lv~crl' • A minimum of one pedestrian connection shall be provided from each side of a property or development abutting or adjacent to commercial and/or residential uses. The proposed plan appears to comply. Pedestrian connections must be a minimum 5 feet in width (see RMC 4-3-040Fl eii for additional design standards). ~\ • Commercial space must be reserved on the ground floor of all mixed-use buildings, at a minimum depth of thirty feet along the street frontage on the ground floor (proposed plan is not a mixed-use development) • Parking lots shall be oriented (0 minimize their visual impact on the site. The proposed plan partially meet this requirement since most of the parking is toward the rear of the lot. Landscaping, which is required, would screen the parking somewhat from abutting public streets Permit Requirements: Site Plan Approval, Environmental Review, and building permits will be required for the project. Walls at heights 48 inches and greater require separate building permits. Please contact the main counter of the Development Services Division at (425) 430-7200 for building permit information including fees. Fees: Impact fees and fees for building and utility construction permits would be charged. The following mitigation fees would be required prior to utility construction permit issuance or building permit issuance: • A Transportation Mitigation Fee based on $75.00 per each new average daily trip attributable to the project. • A fire mitigation fee of $0.52 per sf commercial Please see the comments from the Fire Prevention plans reviewer and Public Works plans reviewer for a breakdown ofthe fees. A handout listing all of the City's Development related fees is also attached for reference.

THIS SITE IS CURRENTLY FULLY DEVELOPED, MOSTLY PAVED WITH USES THAT CATER TO THE SERVICING, FUELING AND WASHING OF AUTOMOBILES. AN ADJACENT WETlAND TO THE EAST IMPACTS THIS SITE AND IS ADDRESSED IN THE ATIACHED BIOLOGIST'S REPORT AND BUFFER MITIGATION PLAN. THE SITE IS GENERALLY UNDERLAIN BY 5 TO 10FT OF FILL OVERLYING MEDIUM DENSE TO VERY DENSE SILTY SAND WITH GRAVEL. A GEOTECH REPORT IS INCLUDED IN THIS SITE PLAN REIVEW SUBMISSION. GROUNDWATER SEEPAGE WAS NOT ENCOUNTERED DURING THESE EXPLORATIONS. • PROPOSED USE: ACCESS: OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENTS: THE LOTS FRONTING NE 4TH STREET ARE TO BE UTILIZED BY AND FOR A WALGREENS DRUG STORE AND IT'S CODE REQUIRED PARKING. THESE WALGREENS LOTS, PARCELS 5182100008 & 5182100009 WILL BE CONSOLIDATED PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW IMPROVEMENTS. THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB TIRE STORE IS TO REMAIN ON IT'S SEPERATELY TITLED PROPERTY YET THE INTERVENING PARKING FIELD IS TO BE RECONFIGURED FOR EFFICIENCY, REVISED ACCESS AND CIRCULATION AS A JOINT PARKING FACILITY. THE WALGREENS PROPERTY OWNERS AND LES SCHWAB WILL PUT A CROSS EASEMENT AGREEMENT IN PLACE TO FACILITATE THIS ARRANGEMENT. A DRAFT OF THIS AGREEMENT IS INCLUDED IN THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SUBMISSION. THIS PROPOSAL CALLS FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE GAS STATION, CAR WASH AND THEIR ASSOCIATED LOT IMPROVEMENTS THIS PROPOSAL WILL ALSO DEDICATE UP TO 8 FT OF NE 4TH STREET FRONTAGE FOR THE ULTIMATE WIDENING OF NE 4TH BY THE CITY OF RENTON. A DRAFT OF THIS DEDICATION IS INCLUDED IN THE SITE PLAN REVIEW SUBMISSION. THE EXISTING 4 FULL MOVEMENT ACCESSES FROM 4TH ARE BEING REPLACED WITH TWO RIGHT IN/RIGHT OUT ACCESS/EGRESS LOCATIONS. THE EXISTING 4 FULL MOVEMENT ACCESSES FROM UNION ARE BEING REDUCED IN NUMBER TO TWO. THE ACCESS AT LES SCHWAB'S SW CORNER REMAINS AS IS BUT THEIR ACCESS IMMEDIATELY NORTH OF THE LES SCHWAB STORE IS BEING RELOCATED AND WIDENED APPROX 40 FT NORTH TO BE USED AS A JOINT ACCESS TO THIS DEVELOPMENT. IN SHORT, 8 EXISTING ACCESSES ARE BEING REDUCED TO 4. WITH THE DEDICATION OF UP TO EIGHT (8)FT OF FRONTAGE FOR THE WIDENING OF 4TH STREET; THIS DEVELOPMENT INSTALL A NEW SIDEWALK, CURB, GUTIER, AND WIDTH OF ASPHALT ROADWAYTO BLEND WITH THE EXISTING PROFILE OF NE 4TH STREET. ANY UPGRADES BEYOND THIS DESCRIPTION WILL BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CITY OF RENTON AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE. THE ARCHITETURAL SITE PLAN INCLUDED IN THIS SITE PLAN REVIEW SUBMISSION INDICATES COMPLIANCE ON-SITE IMPROVEMENTS: WITH THE CITY OF RENTON'S ULTIMATE DESIGN FOR THE NE 4TH RIGHT-OF-WAY AS REPRESENTED IN THE CITY'S DOCUMENTED STUDY. THE CIVIL SET OF PLANS REPRESENT THE "EXISTING" CONDITIONS AND CURRENT APPEARANCE OF THIS ROAD WAY. THE SIDEWALK TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON PUBLIC PROPERTY AS PART OF THE WALGREENS CONTRACT WILL BE BLENDED TO A SIDEWALK APRON ON PRIVATE PROPERTY ESSENTIALLY PAVING THE SPACE BETWEEN THE BACK OF THE PUBLIC WALK AND THE FACE OF THE PROPOSED WALGREENS DRUG STORE'S NORTH WALL LlEING NON-PARALLEL TO THE RIGHT-OF-WAY LINE OF NE 4TH STREET. THE WALGREENS BUILDING IS PROPOSED TO HAVE A "0" SET-BACK AT THE BUILDING'S NE CORNER AND EXTEND WEST, TAPPERING AWAY FROM THE RIGHT- OF-WAY LINE, TO A MAXIMUM SETBACK OF APPROXIMATELY 9'-9" AT THE BUILDING'S NW CORNER. ALL CURRENT EASEMENTS WILL REMAIN AS IS WITH THE EXCEPTIONOF THE TWO 24 FT WIDE ACCESS EASEMENTS 15182100013, & 8609230401) RUNNING PARALLEL AND CONTIGUOUS TO THE SOUTH AND EAST PROPERTY LINE OF THE LES SCHWAB LOT AND THE EAST BOUNDRY OF THE PROPOSED WALGREENS LOT. THESE COMPRISE AN EASEMENT PATH FROM UNION TO NE 4TH STREET. INCLUDED IN THIS SITE PLAN REVIEW ARE DRAFTIS) OR QUIT CLAIMS TO REMOVE THESE ACCESS EASEMENTS THE DEVELOPER WILL BE WORKING WITH THE CITY ON THE CALCULATION OF OFF-SITE IMPACT FEES AND AS PAYMENT IN LIEU FOR WORK BEYOND THE NEW CURB LINE. IN ADDITION TO THE NEW WALGREENS STORE, PARKING LOT & LANDSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE A 1000 S.F. PUBLIC PEDESTRIAN PLAZA AT THE INTERSECTION OF 4TH AND UNION COMPLETE WITH LANDSCAPING, SEATING & BOLLARD LIGHT FIXTURES. ALSO PROVIDED FOR AESTHETIC REASONS ARE 30" HIGH MASONRY SCREEN WALLS WITHIN THE LANDSCAPE STRIP FRONTING UNION; AND WETLAND MITIGATION ALONG THE ENTIRE EASTERLY BOUNDRY LINE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHILE THE EXISTING OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SITE. COMPRISED OF THE GAS STATION, THE CAR WASH AND THE TIRE STORE, THERE IS NOT A STORM WATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT SYSTEM AS HAS BEEN REQUIRED BY CODE FOR SOME TIME. THE CURRENT SYSTEM , FREE-STANDING SIGNS: ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION COSTS: LANDSCAPE: SIMPLY GATHERS STORMWATER AND PIPES ITTO THE EXISTING ADJACENT MAPLE CREEK WATERWAY. OUR SITE DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL INCLUDES FOR AN UP TO DATE DETENTION VAULT AND TREATMENT SYSTEM THAT MITIGATES THE STORMWATER'S IMPACT ON THIS NATURAL WATERCOURSE AND THE CITY'S INFRASTRUCTURE. ALSO, IT IS DEEMED AS A CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF A GASOLINE SERVICE STATION AND A CAR WASH WITH A DRUG STORE PROVIDE FOR A CONSIDERABLE LESSENING OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. THE IMPROVEMENT TO THE LOCAL ENVIRONMENT CANNOT BE EXAGERATED. IN ADDITION TO ON-BUILDING SIGNAGE AS INDICATED ON THE PROVIDED BUIDING ELEVATION SHEET. THIS PROPOSAL INCLUDES FOR AN UPRIGHT PYLON SIGN FOR WALGREENS LOCATED AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. THIS SIGN IS APPROX. 25FT HIGH (LESS THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE OF 40FT) AND COMPRISED OF APPROX 90 SQ OF SIGNAGE IDENTIFICATION (LOGO) AND 34 SF OF AN ELECTRONIC READERBOARD PANEL. THE TOTAL SIGN AREA FOR THIS PYLON IS 125 SF WHICH IS LESS THAN THE 300 SF ALLOWED BY CITY CODE. THE SIGN WILL PROJECT 6 FT INTO THE 10FT REQUIRED SETBACK AS PERMITIED AND HAVE A GROUND CLEARANCE OF 8 FT. A SIGN IS PROPOSED ALONG THE UNION FRONTAGE TO REPLACE OR RELOCATE THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB SIGN. THE DESIGN OF THIS SIGN WILL BE ADDRESSED BY LES SCHWAB BUT LOCATED AS PER THE ENCLOSED ARCHITECTURAL SITE PLAN. $2.000.000 BASED ON THE ATIACHED TOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY OF EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THE ATIACHED PROPOSED LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN IT APPEARS 4 OF THE 8 EXISTING LIVING TREES WILL BE REMOVED. OTHERWISE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB TIRE STORE, THE EXISTING SITE IS, FOR THE MOST PART, ENTIRELY RE-DEVELOPED FOR STORM DRAINAGE, PAVING AND LANDSCAPING. THE LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN INCLUDED IN THIS APPLICATION CONTAINS THE LANDSCAPE CALCULATIONS FOR THE OVERALL LOTS AS WELL AS PER THE REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING LOT INTERIORS. REQUESTED DEVIATIONS: REFUSE RECYLCING: PARKING: ALSO INCLUDED FOR IN THIS DESIGN PROPOSAL IS THE REQUIRED 1000 SF PEDESTRIAN PARK LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION. THIS PARK IS COMPLETE WITH PLANTING, SEATING AND ACCESS/BOLLARD LIGHTING. STREET TREES DO NOT CURRENTLY EXISTING ON EITHER FRONTING STREET. OUR DESIGN INSTALLS STREET TREES BUT WITH A REQUESTED DEVIATION ON SPACING AND PLACEMENT. THE FOLLOWING DEVIATIONS FROM SPECIFIC CITY CODE REQUIREMENTS ARE REQUESTED: THE WALGREENS DRUG STORE HAS PARTICULAR NEEDS FOR THE HANDLING OF ITS REFUSE WASTE AS CAN WELL BE UNDERSTOOD. ALL WASTE IS DEPOSITED THRU AN INTERIOR ACCESS HOPPER INTO A MECHANICAL COMPACTOR PLACED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING ON THE EAST SIDE. THIS UNIT IS CONCEALED BEHIND A NATURAL CEDAR SCREEN COMPLETE WITH SECURE, LOCKED ACCESS GATES. THE COMPACTOR BIN IS DESIGN FOR REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT SO THAT REFUSE IS NEVER EXPOSED NOR MADE ACCESSIBLE. THERE IS NO NEED FOR STAFF TO LEAVE THE BUILDING TO DEPOSIT MATERIAL INTO THE COMPACTOR. THIS FACILITY HAS NO NEED FOR RE-CYCLING PICKUP OTHER THAN IN IT'S HANDLING OF CARDBOARD (EXPLAINED LATER IN THIS PARAGRAPH) AS THAT DOES NOT FACTOR INTO ITS RETAIL OPERATIONS. GARBAGE REMOVAL IS BY PRIV ATE CONTRACTOR/SERVICE, HANDLED CORPORATELY, AND INCLUDES FOR THE REMOVAL OF ACCUMULATED CARDBOARD THAT IS RETAINED INSIDE THE STORE IN BALES COMPRESSED IN A HYDRALIC BALER. WE THEREFORE REQUEST RELAXATION OR DEVIATION FROM THE REFUSE REQUIREMENTS OF CITY CODE. CITY CODE LIMITS PARKING TO A MAXIMUM CALCULATION. PARKING CALCULATIONS FOR WALGREENS IS BASED ON THE NET RETAIL AREA AS PERMITTED BY CODE AND IS ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF 47 STALLS; THE EXISTING LES SCHWAB FACILITY IS BASED ON GROSS FLOOR AREAS AND IS ALLOWED A MAXIMUM OF 36 ST ALLS. ALL CALCULATIONS ARE , • DRIVEWAY ACCESSES- CURB CUT: PROVIDED ON THE ATTACHED SITE PLAN. THE TOTAL PARKING PROVIDED ON THE OVERALL DEVELOPMENT SITE IS 93 OR 10 MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM CALCULATED TOTAL. WE THEREFORE REQUEST A DEVIATION FOR APPROVAL OF THE PARKING PROVIDED. IT IS OUR INTENTION TO NOT ERODE LES SCHWAB'S CURRENT QUANTITY OF PARKING WHICH THEY REGARD, BASED ON REAL TIME EXPERIENCE, AS NECESSARY FOR THEIR BUSINESS OPERATIONS. THE A IT ACHED DOCUMENTS PROVIDE CURRENT CODE CALCULATIONS BASED ON THE VARIOUS USES CONTAINED WITHIN THE LES SCHWAB FACILITY. OUR DESIGN INDICATES A SLIGHT OVER PARKED SITUATION BUT REQUEST THIS RELAXATION ON THE BASIS OF THE NEEDS OF THE OPERATOR AND THE NA TURE OF THE USE. CITY CODE LIMITS THE MAXIMUM DIMENSION FOR THE WIDTH OF A DRIVEWAY ACCESS TO 30FT. WE REQUEST THE DEVIATION FOR TWO OF OUR 3 DRIVEWAYS TO 40FT FOR TWO REASONS: I) FOR THE NEEDED MANOUVERING ROOM FOR LOADING TRUCKS, AND 2) TO ALLOW FOR ONE LANE IN-BOUND AND 2 OUT-BOUND. AS THE MOST WESTERLY OF THE TWO DRIVEWAYS ON TO E.4TH IS A RIGHT-IN. RIGHT-OUT ONLY AND NOT SUBJECT TO TRUCK MOVEMENTS, 24FT IS ACCEPTABLE. THIS RE-DEVELOPMENT SCHEME REPLACES THE EXISTING 8 DRIVEWAY CROSSINGS WITH ONLY 5. WE ALSO SEEK DEVIATION FROM THE REQUIREMENT TO KEEP THE DRIVEWAY CURB 5 FT FROM A COMMON PROPERTY LINE IN THE CASE OF THE DRIVE IN THE NE CORNER OF THE SITE. THIS ACCESS IS PROPOSED TO BE IN THE SAME LOCATION AS AN EXISTING ACCESS WHICH DOES NOT MEET THIS 5FT SETBACK. WE WISH TO KEEP IT THE SAME. THE ADJACENT PROPERTY IS A WETLAND AND THIS RELAXATION DOES NOT HAVE AN IMPACT RELATIVE TO AN ADJOINING PROPERTY ACCESS DRIVEWAY. j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j j LANDSCAPING (PERIMETER): GIVEN THE PLACEMENT OF IMPROVEMENTS WE REQUEST DEVIATION ON THE EXACT NUMBERS & LOCATION OF STREET TREES AS PERSCRIBED IN CITY CODE. EXAMINATION OF THE CONCEPT LANDSCAPE PLAN WILL GRAPHICALLY DISPLAY OUR INTENTIONS. WHERE THE WALGREENS STORE IS BROUGHT TO OR NEAR THE BACK OF THE SIDEWALK WITH OVERHANGING CANOPIES THAT PROVIDE PROTECTION TO PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY AS WELL AS BUS STOP PATRONS, PLACEMENT OF STREET TREES WOULD CONFLICT PHYSICALLY WITH THESE IMPROVEMENTS. LANDSCAPING (INTERNAL): BUILDING SETBACK: THE REQUIRED PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING FOR THE "NEW" PORTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT PARKING LOT REGARDED AS WALGREENS DESIGNATED PARKING EXCEEDS CITY CODE BY SOME 68 PERCENT. CITY CODE REQUIRES 8 PARKING LOT TREES AND 8 PARKING LOT TREES ARE PROVIDED. THE LES SCHWAB PORTION OF THE RE-STRIPPED PARKING LOT IS 34 PERCENT SHORT OF A STRICT READING OF CITY CODE AND SHORT 6 TREES IN THE PARKING LOT AREA. WE REQUEST DEVIATION FROM MEETING CURRENT CODE DUE TO HARDSHIP IN PROVIDING THE NEW UNDERGROUND DETENTION VAULT (WHERE NONE WAS PROVIDED HERETOFORE). WE ALSO BELIEVE THE NEW LOT LAYOUT IS SUPERIOR AND MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAN THE ONE BEING REPLACED. AND FURTHER, THE LES SCHWAB SITE IS THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT RETAINS THE 4 EXISTING MATURE TREES REFERENCED IN OTHER HEADINGS OF THIS REPORT. IT IS UNCLEAR IN CODE BUT WE BELIEVE IT IS ALLOWED THAT A ZERO SETBACK FOR THE WALGREENS BUILDING ALONG EAST 4TH STREET IS ACCEPTABLE. WE LIST THIS AS A REQUESTED DEVIATION HERE SHOULD WE MIGHT BE READING CITY CODE IN ERROR. THE PROPOSAL IS TO BRING THE NE CORNER OF THE BLDG TO THE PROPERTY LINE BUT AS THE ANGLE OF THE BUILDING FACE IS NOT PARALLEL TO THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE IS A SETBACK AT THE BUIDLING'S NW CORNER OF APPROXIMATELY 9FT. THE AREA BETWEENTHE CITY SIDEWALK AND THE BUILDING FACE WILL BE CONCRETE, I.E. AN EXTENTION OF THE SIDEWALK. WE ALSO PROPOSE TO HANG OVERHEAD STEEL CANOPIES FROM THE BUILDING INTO THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY OVER THE SIDEWALK. THESE ARE DEMOUNTABLE CANOPIES AND ARE APPROX 12FT OR MORE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE SIDEWALK AND PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION TO THOSE WAITING AT THE BUS STOP. LANDSCAPE SETBACK ALONG UNION: WETLAND BUFFER: CITY CODE ALLOWS FOR THE REDUCTION OF A 10FT LANDSCAPE PERIMETER STRIP TO 5FT THRU THE USE OF ALTERNATE DESIGN AIDS. WE THEREFORE INCLUDE AND SHOW 30" HIGH MASONRY SCREENWALLS WITHIN THE 5FT WIDE STRIP PROVIDED TO SCREEN THE FRONT OF PARKED CARS. THE WETLAND/CREEK BUFFER DEVIATION IS PROFFERED BY THE CONSULTING BIOLOGIST IN THE ATIACHED STUDY AND REPORT.

WE REQUEST DEVIATION FROM MEETING CURRENT CODE DUE TO HARDSHIP IN PROVIDING THE NEW UNDERGROUND DETENTION VAULT (WHERE NONE WAS PROVIDED HERETOFORE). WE ALSO BELIEVE THE NEW LOT LAYOUT IS SUPERIOR AND MORE BENEFICIAL TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAN THE ONE BEING REPLACED. AND FURTHER, THE LES SCHWAB SITE IS THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY THAT RETAINS THE 4 EXISTING MATURE TREES REFERENCED IN OTHER HEADINGS OF THIS REPORT. BUILDING SETBACK: IT IS UNCLEAR IN CODE BUT WE BELIEVE IT IS ALLOWED THAT A ZERO SETBACK FOR THE WALGREENS BUILDING ALONG EAST 4TH STREET IS ACCEPTABLE. WE LIST THIS AS A REQUESTED DEVIATION HERE SHOULD WE BE READING CITY CODE IN ERROR. THE PROPOSAL IS TO BRING THE NE CORNER OF THE BLDG TO THE PROPERTY LINE BUT AS THE ANGLE OF THE BUILDING FACE IS NOT PARALLEL TO THE RIGHT OF WAY THERE IS A SETBACK AT THE BUIDLING'S NW CORNER OF APPROXIMATELY 9FT. THE AREA BETWEENTHE CITY SIDEWALK AND THE BUILDING FACE WILL BE CONCRETE, I.E. AN EXTENTION OF THE SIDEWALK. WE ALSO PROPOSE TO HANG OVERHEAD STEEL CANOPIES FROM THE BUILDING INTO THE STREET RIGHT OF WAY OVER THE SIDEWALK. THESE ARE DEMOUNTABLE CANOPIES AND ARE APPROX 12FT OR MORE ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE SIDEWALK AND PROVIDE PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION TO THOSE WAITING AT THE BUS STOP. LANDSCAPE SETBACK ALONG UNION: WETLAND BUFFER: CITY CODE ALLOWS FOR THE REDUCTION OF A 10FT LANDSCAPE PERIMETER STRIP TO 5FT THRU THE USE OF ALTERNATE DESIGN AIDS. WE THEREFORE INCLUDE AND SHOW 30" HIGH MASONRY SCREENWALLS WITHIN THE 5FT WIDE STRIP PROVIDED TO SCREEN THE FRONT OF PARKED CARS. THE WETLAND/CREEK BUFFER DEVIATION IS PROFFERED BY THE CONSULTING BIOLOGIST IN THE ATIACHED STUDY AND REPORT. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST City of Renton Development Services Division 1055 South Grady Way, Renton, WA 98055 Phone: 425-430-7200 Fax: 425-430-7231 PURPOSE OF CHECKLIST: The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), Chapter 43.21 C RCW, requires all governmental agencies to consider the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions. An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must be prepared for all proposals with probable significant adverse impacts on the quality of the environment. The purpose of this checklist is to provide information to help you and the agency identify impacts from your proposal (and to reduce or avoid impacts from the proposal, if it can be done) and to help the agency decide whether an EIS is required. INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICANTS: This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your proposal. Governmental agencies use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts of your proposal are significant, requiring preparation of an EIS. Answer the questions briefly, with the most precise information known, or give the best description you can. You must answer each question accurately and carefully, to the best of your knowledge. In most cases, you should be able to answer the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need to hire experts. If you really do not know the answer. or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not know" or "does not apply". Complete answers to the questions now may avoid unnecessary delays later. Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and landmark deSignations. Answer these questions if you can. If you have problems, the governmental agencies can assist you. The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal, even if you plan to do them over a period of time or on different parcels of land. Attach any additional information that will help describe your proposal or its environmental effects. The agency to which you submit this checklist may ask you to explain your answers or provide additional information reasonably related to determining if there may be significant adverse impact. USE OF CHECKLIST FOR NONPROJECT PROPOSALS: Complete this checklist for non project proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, ccmplete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). For non project actions (actions involving decisions on policies, plans and programs), the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant." and "property or site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area:' respectively.

Transportatio .. _ngineering NorthWest DATE: January 4, 2008 TO: Bob Sherry Phillips Edison and Company FROM: Jeff Schramm Transportation Engineering NorthWest SUBJECT: Renton Walgreens -Traffic Assessment TENW Project No. 4221 DRAFT Traffic Analysis This memorandum documents the traffic assessment conducted for the proposed Walgreens located on the southeast corner of Union Avenue NE and NE 4th Street in the City of Renton. Executive Summary Proposal. The proposed Walgreens development would include a 14,800 square foot pharmacy/drug store with a drive-through window. Access to the site would be provided by two driveways on NE 4th Street and one driveway on Union Avenue NE. The existing site includes a gasoline/service station with a convenience market and a car wash. Although only the car wash is currently operational, the gas station is a permitted use that could be operational if a user wanted to occupy it. Additional, the gas station was operational as recently as 2006. As part of the proposed development, both of these existing uses would be removed. The antiCipated build-out year of the Walgreens store is 2009. Trip Generation. Assuming credit for the existing gas station and car wash that will be removed, a total of 128 net new daily vehicle trips are estimated to be generated by the proposed Walgreens. Of these, the proposed development is estimated to generate 18 net new trips during the weekday PM peak hour. LOS Analysis_ A PM peak hour level of service (LOS) analysis was conducted at the signalized intersection of Union Avenue NE/NE 4th Street. In 2009 with or without the proposed Walgreens, the intersection of Union Avenue NE/NE 4th Street is expected to operate at LOS D. All stop controlled movements at the proposed site driveways are expected to operate at LOS B or better assuming the City's planned channelization improvements along NE 4th Street. Mitigation. To mitigate transportation impacts created by the proposed Walgreens development on public streets, it is anticipated that the developer would be required to pay the City of Renton's adopted impact fee of $75 per net new daily trip (per City of Renton Resolution #3100). Based on 128 net new daily trips, the traffic impact fee would be $9,600 (128 daily trips x $75/daily trip).

Pass-by trips are made by vehicles that are currently on the adjacent streets and make intermediate stops on route to a primary destination (i.e. on the way from work to home). The pass- by rates used in the trip generation estimate were determined from the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 2nd edition, 2004. As shown in Table 1, the proposed Walgreens store is estimated to generate a total of 1,305 vehicle trips during a typical weekday trips, with 639 of those trips (49 percent) being pass-by trips. After accounting for the removal of the gas station with convenience market and existing car wash, the net new trip generation would be 128 daily trips. During the PM peak hour, the Walgreens would generate 128 vehicle trips, but only 18 net new vehicle trips after removal of the existing uses. Attachment A includes more detailed trip generation information. Trip Distribution and Assignment The distribution of the weekday PM peak hour project trips through the site driveways and the intersection of Union Avenue NEINE 4th Street was based on the existing travel patterns in the study area. Traffic to and from the site was distributed approximately 20 percent north, 10 percent south, 40 percent east, and 30 percent west. In order to provide a more conservative analysis of traffic impacts associated with the proposed Walgreens store, the number of net new vehicles trips was also evaluated assuming only credit for the car wash. This scenario was evaluated due to the fact that the existing gas station was recently vacated, and in order to evaluate the net impact of the Walgreens trips less the car wash trips. The assignment of the weekday PM peak hour project trips, as shown on the lower left box in Figure 3, represents the net trip assignment of new Walgreens trips less existing car wash trips. The future traffic volumes at the site driveways shown in Figure 4 represent the total number of PM peak hour trips at the 3 site driveways with a fully operational Walgreens store. Existing and Future Traffic Volumes The analysis of 2007 existing conditions at Union Avenue NE and NE 4th Street was based on existing PM peak hour traffic counts conducted at the intersection on September 6, 2007 as provided by the City of Renton. The future year 2009 baseline without-project volumes were developed by applying a 2 percent annual growth rate to the 2007 existing volumes. Future year 2009 with-project traffic volumes were estimated by adding the net project trip assignment to the year 2009 baseline traffic volumes. The 2007 existing, 2009 baseline, and 2009 with-project PM peak hour traffic volumes at the Union Avenue NEINE 4th Street intersection are shown on Figure 3. Figure 4 shows the estimated 2009 PM peak hour traffic volumes at the site driveways with the proposed Walgreens development.

LOS analyses were also conducted at the three site driveways for 2009 with- project conditions. Highway Capacity Software (HCS) was used to evaluate the LOS at the signalized intersection and site driveways based on the methodology outlined in the 2000 update of the Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209, Transportation Research Board. The PM peak hour LOS analysis results are summarized in Table 2. The detailed LOS worksheets are included in Attachment B. It should be noted again that in order to provide a more conservative analysis of traffic impacts associated with the proposed Walgreens store, the number of net new vehicles trips was evaluated assuming only credit for the car wash. This scenario was evaluated due to the fact that the existing gas station was recently vacated, and in order to evaluate the net impact of the Walgreens trips less the car wash trips.
