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 nonproject proposals, even though questions may be answered "does not apply." IN ADDITION, complete the SUPPLEMENTAL SHEET FOR NONPROJECT ACTIONS (part D). Page 2 For nonproject 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.

An approximately 2.37-acre tract is also proposed. The homes that are anticipated to ultimately be constructed on the proposed lots will likely be in the middle-income price range. 12. Location of the proposal. Give sufficient information for a person to understand the precise location of your proposed project, including a street address, if any, and section, township, and range if known. If a proposal would occur over a range of area, provide the range or boundaries of the site(s). Provide a legal description, site plan, vicinity map, and topographic map, if reasonably available. While you should submit any plans required by the agency, you are not required to duplicate maps or detailed plans submitted with any permit applications related to this checklist. Page 5 The project is located on the west side of Cedar Avenue South in the 700-to-800 block of Cedar Avenue South. The project is located in the NW ¼, Section 20, Township 23N, Range 5E. The site is just to the southwest of the intersection of Cedar Avenue South and South 7th Street. A legal description is attached as Exhibit 1. A vicinity map is also attached. B. ENVIRONMENTAL ELEMENTS 1. EARTH a. General description of the site (circle one); flat, rolling, hilly, steep slopes, mountainous, other ______________. [Note that almost the entirety of the 1.02-acre development area of the 3.69-acre overall property is a nearly flat plateau area that abuts the west edge of existing Cedar Avenue South. Outside of the proposed development area, the site is sloping and is characterized primarily by steep slopes.] b. What is the steepest slope on the site (approximate percent slope?) The steepest slope is approximately 57% (approximately 1.75H:1V). c. What general types of soils are found on the site (for example, clay, sand, gravel, peat, muck)? If you know the classification of agricultural soils, specify them and note any prime farmland. The Natural Resources Conservation Service has mapped the site as Alderwood and Kitsap soils. However, in the area of the site that is now proposed for residential short subdivision development, fill soil was placed in 2009 as part of the WSDOT I- 405 widening project. The placement of that fill created both (1) the very-gently- sloping plateau area along the west edge of Cedar Ave S. that is suitable for single- family-residential development and (2) steep reinforced soil fill slopes to the west, north, and south edges of the plateau area. d. Are there surface indications or history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity? If so, describe. There is no indication or known history of unstable soils in the immediate vicinity. The WSDOT’s I-405 widening project’s soil stabilization improvements at the site included (i) an engineered reinforced soil fill slope, (ii) vegetating the very-gently- sloping plateau area of the fill with grass, and (iii) planting the fill slope with Douglas fir trees (which are now about 8-feet high) and with shrubs. e. Describe the purpose, type, and approximate quantities of any filling or grading proposed. Indicate source of fill. Approximately 350 cubic yards of cut is expected for construction of foundations and utilities and approximately 700 cubic yards of fill for the filling associated with the proposed cul-de-sac portion of the road. The source of the fill has not yet been determined. f. Could erosion occur as a result of clearing, construction, or use? If so, generally describe. Page 6 Erosion could occur during site construction. However, erosion and sedimentation control measures will be required by the City and will be implemented during site construction. g. About what percent of the site will be covered with impervious surfaces after project construction (for example, asphalt or buildings)? Approximately 28 percent of the site will be covered by impervious surfaces. [about 0.92 acres on-site (for buildings, driveways, walkways, and patios) and about 0.10 acres for the widening of Cedar Avenue South, for a public sidewalk, and for driveway entrance aprons). h. Proposed measures to reduce or control erosion, or other impacts to the earth, if any: A temporary erosion and sedimentation control (TESCP) plan will be prepared, approved by the City, and implemented as part of construction activities. During site construction, erosion and sedimentation control measures may include any of the following: siltation fences, one or more temporary siltation ponds, and other measures that may be used in accordance with requirements of the City. At completion of the project, permanent drainage control measures will include a stormwater detention and water quality vault, which is to be designed and constructed under the proposed cul-de-sac bulb. 2. AIR a. What types of emissions to the air would result from the proposal (i.e., dust, automobile, odors, industrial wood smoke) during construction and when the project is completed? If any, generally describe and give approximate quantities if known. During construction, there will be increased exhaust and dust particle emissions. After construction, the principal source of emissions will be from automobile traffic, lawn maintenance equipment, gas fireplaces, barbecues, and others typical of a residential neighborhood. b. Are there any off-site sources of emission or odor that may affect your proposal? If so, generally describe. Off-site sources of emissions or odors are those typical of the residential neighborhoods that surround this site, such as automobile emissions from traffic on adjacent roadways (I-405 and Cedar Ave. S.) and fireplace emissions from nearby homes. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control emissions or other impacts to air, if any: Automobile and fireplace emission standards are regulated by the State of Washington. The site has been included in a regulatory "No Burn Zone" established by the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency that went into effect on September 1, 1992. Under the "No Burn Zone" regulation, land clearing or Page 7 residential yard debris fires would be permitted neither on-site nor in the surrounding neighborhood. 3. WATER a. Surface Water: 1) Is there any surface water body on or in the immediate vicinity of the site (including year-round and seasonal streams, saltwater, lakes, ponds, wetlands)? If yes, describe type and provide names. If appropriate, state what stream or river it flows into. An existing class 3 stream, an existing class 5 stream, and an existing category 3 wetland all lie offsite on the WSDOT property to the south of the subject Merlino Land Development Co. property. These waters eventually discharge into Lake Washington. 2) Will the project require any work over, in, or adjacent to (within 200 feet) the described waters? If yes, please describe and attach available plans. Yes, the project’s work area is within 200 feet of the streams but outside of the streams’ respective buffers. No work is planned within 200 feet of the off-site wetland. 3) Estimate the amount of fill and dredge material that would be placed in or removed from surface water or wetlands and indicate the area of the site that would be affected. Indicate the source of fill material. Not applicable. 4) Will the proposal require surface water withdrawals or diversions? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. No, there will be no surface water withdrawals or diversions. 5) Does the proposal lie within a 100-year flood plain? If so, note location on the site plan. No. 6) Does the proposal involve any discharges of waste materials to surface waters? If so, describe the type of waste and anticipated volume of discharge. No. All homes will be connected to the existing public sanitary sewer system. b. Ground Water: 1) Will ground water be withdrawn, or will water be discharged to ground water? Give general description, purpose, and approximate quantities if known. Page 8 No groundwater will be withdrawn. (A public water main will be installed as part of the short plat’s infrastructure construction.) No water will be discharged to groundwater except through the incidental infiltration of stormwater. 2) Describe waste material that will be discharged into the ground from septic tanks or other sources, if any (for example: Domestic sewage; industrial, containing the following chemicals...; agricultural; etc.). Describe the general size of the system, the number of such systems, the number of houses to be served (if applicable), or the number of animals or humans the system(s) are expected to serve. The site will be served by sanitary sewers. There will be no waste material discharged to the ground from the development. c. Water Runoff (including storm water): 1) Describe the source of runoff (including storm water) and method of collection and disposal, if any (include quantities, if known). Where will this water flow? Will this water flow into other waters? If so, describe. Stormwater runoff will result from the proposed development’s impervious surfaces and will be collected and routed to a stormwater detention and water quality vault to be constructed beneath the proposed cul-de-sac bulb at the south end of the project. The design of the vault will be in accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (with the modifications to the 2009 Manual that have been made by the City of Renton.) The detained stormwater will be released from the vault into an existing gravel-lined drainage ditch that drains to the downstream storm drain system within, through, and past the I-405 right-of- way and eventually into Lake Washington. 2) Could waste material enter ground or surface waters? If so, generally describe. No. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control surface, ground, and runoff water impacts, if any: A City-approved storm drainage system will be designed and constructed in order to mitigate any adverse impacts from stormwater runoff. The system will initially include temporary erosion control measures during site construction, and will later include permanent stormwater collection/treatment facilities. The permanent system will ensure that prior to the release of stormwater into the downstream storm system, the system will have significantly mitigated potential impacts to ground and surface waters. The system will be designed in accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (with the modifications to the 2009 Manual that have been made by the City of Renton). 4. PLANTS a. Check or circle types of vegetation found on the site: __X__ deciduous tree: alder, maple, aspen, other __X__ evergreen tree: fir, cedar, pine, other __X__ shrubs Page 9 __X__ grass ____ pasture ____ crop or grain ____ wet soil plants: cattail, buttercup, bullrush, skunk cabbage, other ____ water plants: water lily, eel grass, milfoil, other ____ other types of vegetation b.

The current comprehensive plan designation is Residential Single Family (RS). g. If applicable, what is the current shoreline master program designation of the site? Not applicable. h. Has any part of the site been classified as an "environmentally sensitive" area? If so, specify. Page 12 Yes, an area encompassing approximately 1,354 square feet at the southeast corner of the subject property has been determined to be a Very High Coal Mine Hazard Area (as defined by the City of Renton) according to an April 23, 2014 Coal Mine Hazard Assessment report prepared by Icicle Creek Engineers, Inc. and submitted to the City as part of the subject short plat application. In addition, an approximately 46,694 square foot portion of the subject property has been shown on the Coal Mine Hazard Map contained in the March 24, 2014 Coal Mine Hazard Assessment report as a Low Coal Mine Hazard Area (as defined by the City of Renton) even though no evidence of any mining activity within that area was found by Icicle Creek Engineers, Inc. Most of the land lying within proposed Tract A is a Protected Slope Area (having a slope greater than or equal to 40 percent with a height that is 15 feet or greater as defined by the City of Renton), which slopes are fill slopes created in 2009 as part of the I-405 widening project. Those slopes and building setbacks from the top of them are discussed in detail in the April 23, 2014 Geotechnical Critical Areas report prepared by Icicle Creek Engineers, Inc. and submitted to the City of Renton as part of the subject short plat application. Figure 2 of that report contains a map depicting both the Protected Slope Area and an Erosion Hazard Area on the property. The plateau portion of the site on which all of the proposed lots, homes, and road widening is proposed does not lie within protected slopes. i. Approximately how many people would reside or work in the completed project? Approximately 18 people (7 x 2.5 persons per dwelling unit). j. Approximately how many people would the completed project displace? None. k. Proposed measures to avoid or reduce displacement impacts, if any: None. l. Proposed measures to ensure the proposal is compatible with existing and projected land uses and plans, if any: The area to the north and east of the site consists of residential housing. The proposed use of the site is compatible with surrounding uses. The proposed widening of Cedar Avenue South and installation of the cul-de-sac turnaround at Cedar Avenue’s south end will enhance the street for the benefit of both the subject property and the existing homes along Cedar Avenue’s east edge. 9. HOUSING a. Approximately how many units would be provided, if any? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. The proposed short plat contemplates 7 new single-family residences. The new homes are anticipated to be in the middle-income price range. Page 13 b. Approximately how many units, if any, would be eliminated? Indicate whether high, middle, or low-income housing. None. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control housing impacts, if any: No adverse housing impacts would result from the proposal. 10. AESTHETICS a. What is the tallest height of any proposed structure(s), not including antennas; what is the principal exterior building material(s) proposed. The buildings will meet the height requirements of the R-8 zone and, thus, will not exceed 2 stories or 30 feet in height. The principal exterior building materials may include such things as wood, masonry, and stucco. b. What views in the immediate vicinity would be altered or obstructed? Due to the natural-sloping topography of the surrounding neighborhood, the visual impact on the adjacent area will be minimal. Homes along the east side of Cedar Ave South currently sit slightly up on a hill allowing a better view across the proposed homes. Before the clearing of the subject property in 2009, there was a forest of trees that blocked the westerly view from these homes. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control aesthetic impacts, if any: The homes will be of a scale and size to be compatible with the existing neighborhood. On-site landscaping will be installed by the owners of each of the seven proposed lots. 11. LIGHT AND GLARE a. What type of light or glare will the proposal produce? What time of day would it mainly occur? Some light and glare will originate from building lighting and exterior lighting. Light will also be produced from vehicles driving to and from the site. These impacts would occur primarily in the evening and before dawn. b. Could light or glare from the finished project be a safety hazard or interfere with views? No. c. What existing off-site sources of light or glare may affect your proposal? The only offsite source of light and glare will be from vehicles and street lighting from I-405, the adjacent streets, and nearby single-family homes. d. Proposed measures to reduce or control light and glare impacts, if any: Page 14 Street lighting, if required, will be installed in a manner that generally directs the lighting downward. 12. RECREATION a. What designated and informal recreational opportunities are in the immediate vicinity? Philip Arnold Park Cedar River Park Liberty Park b. Would the proposed project displace any existing recreational uses? If so, describe. No. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts on recreation, including recreation opportunities to be provided by the project or applicant, if any: Not applicable. 13. HISTORIC AND CULTURAL PRESERVATION a. Are there any places or objects listed on, or proposed for, national, state, or local preservation registers known to be on or next to the site? If so, generally describe. None to our knowledge. b. Generally describe any landmarks or evidence of historic, archaeological, scientific, or cultural importance known to be on or next to the site. None. c. Proposed measures to reduce or control impacts, if any: None because there are no known expected impacts. If an archeological site is found during the course of construction, the State Historical Preservation Officer will be notified. 14. TRANSPORTATION a. Identify public streets and highways serving the site, and describe proposed access to the existing street system. Show on site plans, if any. Access to the site will be off Cedar Ave S. b. Is site currently served by public transit? If not, what is the approximate distance to the nearest transit stop? No. The closest bus stop is 0.4 miles away at the intersection of Main Ave. S and S. 4th Street. Page 15 c. How many parking spaces would the completed project have? How many would the project eliminate? At least four parking spaces will be provided in association with each home (at least two in each garage and two in each driveway), for a projected total of 28 spaces on the site. There are no existing parking spaces to be eliminated. d. Will the proposal require any new roads or streets, or improvements to existing roads or streets, not including driveways? If so, generally describe (indicate whether public or private? The west side of Cedar Avenue South is proposed to be widened along with construction of a cul-de-sac bulb at the south end of Cedar Avenue. e. Will the project use (or occur in the immediate vicinity of) water, rail, or air transportation? If so, generally describe. No. f. How many vehicular trips per day would be generated by the completed project? If known, indicate when peak volumes would occur. This project is estimated to generate 70 average daily trips (ADT) based on 10 ADT per residence. Peak volumes would occur during the morning and evening commute hours. g. Proposed measures to reduce or control transportation impacts, if any: Payment of applicable traffic impact fees to the City of Renton required by City code. 15. PUBLIC SERVICES a. Would the project result in an increased need for public services (for example: fire protection, police protection, health care, schools, other)? If so, generally describe. The need for public service such as fire, health, and police protection will be typical of single family development of this size. The Renton School District will serve school-age children living in the homes within this development. b. Proposed measures to reduce or control direct impacts on public services, if any. The homes will be constructed to meet all applicable standards and codes of the City and the Uniform Building Code. The proposed development will contribute to the local tax base and provide additional tax revenue for the various public services. The impact to the schools and traffic will be mitigated through the payment of impact fees. 16. UTILITIES a. Circle utilities currently available at the site: electricity, natural gas, water, refuse service, telephone, sanitary sewer, septic system, other.
