PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval and Environmental Threshold
Determination (SEPA) for a proposed 13-lot subdivision. The project site is 195,531 square feet (4.49 acres) and is located
at 14120 160th Ave SE. The project site is located in the Residential-4 (R-4) zoning designation. The proposed single-family
residential lots range in size from 9,000 square feet to 17,565 square feet with an overall proposed density of 3.36
dwellings per acre. The applicant has requested a Temporary Use Permit to allow for two existing outbuildings to remain
for a period of five years. The structures are located across proposed Lots 9 and 10. Additional proposed improvements
include a 3,195 sq. ft. storm drainage tract (Tract A) in the southeast corner of the site along the unimproved 162nd Ave
SE right-of-way (ROW) frontage, a 3,500 sq. ft. tree retention tract (Tract C) along the north property line adjacent to
lots 11 and 12, and a 20,246 native growth protection tract (Tract B) in the north-east corner to encompass the proposed
75-foot reduced wetland buffer. The proposed lots would be served by a new public residential access street off of 160th
Ave SE and a cul-de-sac would be provided near the eastern end of the property. Proposed lots would be served by
sanitary sewer along the new street that would connect to an existing main within 160th Ave SE. Proposed lots would be
served by a new water main extending from 160th Ave SE along the new street. Construction of the proposed subdivision
infrastructure improvements would result in approximately 5,000 cubic yards of cut and 8,000 cubic yards of fill. A Type
Ns stream and Category III wetlands are mapped on the site according to COR maps and a Wetlands Report submitted
by the applicant. Slopes on the site generally fall to the southeast across the property at a range of 0-20%. Soils consist
of Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (AgC). The applicant has proposed to retain approximately 35 of the 284 significant
trees onsite. The applicant has submitted a Technical Information Report, Arborist Report, a Critical Areas Determination
and a Geotechnical Engineering Study with the application.
