ADVISORY NOTES:
The following notes are supplemental information provided in conjunction with the land use
action. Because these notes are provided as information only, they are not subject to the
appeal process for the land use actions.
Community Services Review Leslie Betlach Ph: 425-430-6619
email: LBetlach@rentonwa.gov
Recommendations: All of the R.O.W. is being proposed to be dedicated to the City,
including landscaping and irrigation requiring forestry maintenance and irrigation
maintenance,which is currently unfunded. Community Services does not support
accepting sensitive area tracts,for other parcels as this is not supported by any adopted
plan. Street trees along Smithers Ave S should be trees that mature at a large size. Do
not use Callery Pear per plan. Street trees along SE 186th PI should be different species
from trees along Smithers & be large-maturing. Each lot should receive 1 tree except
corner lots should contain 2 street trees. All street tree spacing shall be 50 feet
on-center.
Engineering Review Rohini Nair Ph: 425-430-7298 email: rnair@rentonwa.gov
Engineering Plan Review Comments Created On:07/08/2013
• The streets have been named by the City and the information has been provided to the
applicant engineer.
• South 48th Place must meet with Fire Department approval regarding culdesac
turnaround as per City standard dimensions and/or a secondary access. ( Discussed with Corey
after your email and he said that things had changed after his email to you).
• Provide draft letter/email from Soos Creek regarding the water service to the Vuecrest
site. This project is slightly different from other projects since it currently lies in the Renton
Service area, but the City does not have water service mains in the area. The existing water
main that ends at the north property line of the development, is served by Soos Creek Water
and Sewer District.
• The location of the detention facility can be determined after the landslide hazard areas
concerns are addressed by the geotech and as per City amendments of KCSWDM. Section I of
Core Requirement#3: Flow Control of the City's 2009 Surface Water Design Manual
Amendment includes
I. FACILITY REQUIREMENT IN LANDSLIDE HAZARD DRAINAGE AREAS
Proposed projects subject to Discharge Requirement 2 in Core Requirement#1 (see p. 1-20)
must provide a tightline system unless the 100-year runoff from the project site can be feasibly
infiltrated or one of the other exceptions listed on page 1-20 apply. For infiltration to be used as
an alternative to the tightline requirement, it must be feasible per the facility design
requirements and limitations specified in Section 5.4. When evaluating the feasibility of
ERC Mitigation Measures and Advisory Notes Page 3 of 8
infiltration, multiple facility locations scattered throughout the project site shall be considered
and used where feasible and practical to avoid concentrating infiltrated water in one location. If
multiple facilities are not feasible or practical,then a single infiltration facility meeting the
minimum setback requirements in Section 5.4 may be used where feasible. Where infiltration
is not feasible, it is still possible for a proposed project to qualify for one of the other exceptions
to the tightline requirement specified in Core Requirement#1 (p. 1-20). If such a project is
subject to the flow control facility requirement in Core Requirement#3,the required facility
must be a detention pond sized to meet, at minimum,the Flow Control Duration Standard
Matching Forested site conditions flow control facility standard with a safety factor of 20%
applied to the storage volume. The detention pond must be sited and designed so as to
maximize the opportunity for infiltration in the pond. To accomplish this, all of the following
design requirements must be met:
1. The detention pond must be preceded by either a water quality treatment facility per
Core Requirement#8 or a presettling basin per Section 5.4, AND
2. All detention pond side slopes must be 3H:1V or flatter and must be earthen, AND
3. Detention pond liners that impede infiltration shall not be used, AND
4. The pond bottom shall be at or above the seasonal high groundwater table,AND
5. The detention pond outflow must meet the discharge dispersal requirements
specified in Discharge Requirement 1 of Core Requirement#1 (p. 1-19).
• Independent secondary review is required consistent with RMC 4-3-100J and RMC
4-3-100F7 . b. i Geologic Hazards: Independent secondary review shall be conducted in
accordance with the following:
i. Required—Sensitive and Protected Slopes, and Medium, High, or Very
High Landslide Hazards:All geotechnical reports submitted in accordance with
subsection J2 of this Section, Special Studies Required, and chapter 4-8 RMC, Permits—
General and Appeals, shall be independently reviewed by qualified specialists selected
by the City, at the applicant's expense. An applicant may request that independent
review be waived by the Department Administrator in accordance with subsection D4b
of this Section, Review Authority—Geologic Hazards, Habitat Conservation, Shorelines,
Streams and Lakes, and Wetlands subsection F7 of this Section.
• The Flow control application in the TIR should refer the site as in the Flow Control
Duration Standard (Forested Conditions)
• Label the site access shown in the conceptual road and grading plan as (as private or
public), showing
o the ROW width/easement width,
o paved widths

Fire Review-Building Corey Thomas Ph: 425-430-7024 email: cthomas@rentonwa.gov
Recommendations: Environmental Impact Comments:
1. The fire impact fees are currently applicable at the rate of$479.28 per single family unit.
This fee is paid at time of building permit issuance.
Code Related Comments:
1. The fire flow requirement for a single family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings
up to 3,600 square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,600 square
feet, a minimum of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant is
required within 300-feet of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes up to
1,500 gpm. Existing fire hydrants can be counted toward the requirements as long as they
meet current code including 5-inch storz fittings. A water availability certificate is required
from Soos Creek Water and Sewer District.
2. Fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be a minimum of 20-feet
wide fully paved,with 25-feet inside and 45-feet outside turning radius. Fire access roadways
shall be constructed to support a 30-ton vehicle with 322-psi point loading. Access is required
within 150-feet of all points on the buildings. Approved apparatus turnarounds are required for
dead end roads exceeding 150-feet. Cul-de-sac turnarounds of 90-foot diameter are required
for dead end streets over 500-feet long. Dead end streets exceeding 500-feet require all
ERC Mitigation Measures and Advisory Notes Page 7 of 8
homes to be provided with an approved fire sprinkler system. Dead end streets exceeding
700-feet are not allowed without approved secondary access roadways being provided.
3. The Renton Fire and Emergency Services Department does not support any variance
request waiving the required secondary access due to the extreme length (approximate
maximum length of 2,500 feet)of the proposed dead end street, the heavily forested areas
surrounding the proposed development and the increased risk of lengthly response times due
to traffic and
congestion on the existing dead end street already serving approximately 100 single family lots.

D. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
E. In 2013;the project proponent submitted a land use master application for subdivision of a 9.31 acre
property located in the City of Renton. During the application review,the City of Renton required
additional information to be submitted. A "hold"was placed on the project review on July 16, 2013.
The requested additional information has been submitted and project review recommenced. The
project has been revised as follows:there are now 20 lots proposed (not 21), some lot sizes have
changed,the primary access road has been realigned slightly to the east, a rockery retaining wall has
been eliminated from the top of a steep slope, grading on the west side of the portion of the site to be
developed has been modified, and the surface water control plan revised. The project is subject to
State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) compliant environmental review and Preliminary Plat
approval for the subdivision. The project proponent has submitted a Modification request of Renton
Municipal Code to allow a dead-end road in excess of 700 feet.The site has two Category 2 wetlands,
one of which connects to a class 4 stream. The site contains three land use zones, Residential 1
dwelling unit per net acre (du/a), Residential 8 (8 du/a) and Residential 14 (14 du/a). Additionally,the
area zoned R-1 is located within the Urban Separator overlay. Only the 6.04 acre portion that is zoned
R-8 is proposed to be developed. Subdivision into 20 lots would result in a density of 4.05 dwelling
units per net acre. Lot sizes would range from 4,500 square feet to 8,134 square feet. In addition to
the 20 lots, 6 tracts are proposed for sensitive areas and tree retention. The site is proposed to be
accessed via an extension of Smithers Ave. S. The requested modification of Renton Municipal Code, if
approved, would permit this access although it is considered to be a "dead end" road from the
intersection of SE 186th St. The undeveloped site has approximately 400 trees that have been deemed
to be "significant." Trees will be removed, retained, and replaced as required by Renton Municipal
Code. An estimated 3,396 cy of cut and 10,035 cy of fill would be required for site construction. A
stormwater detention vault is proposed that would discharge to a closed conveyance system on site
and subsequently transported to an area-wide system off site.The applicant has submitted a Critical
Areas Report, Supplement Stream Study,Traffic Impact Analysis, Slope Analysis, Geotechnical
Engineering study, and a Drainage Technical Information Report with the application.
The property is located in the Talbot Planning Area in South Renton (Exhibit 2). Goals, objectives, and
policies of the Residential Low Density (RLD), Residential Single-Family(RSF), and Residential Medium
Density(RMD) Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations are implemented by the regulations and
standards of the Residential 1, Residential 8, and Residential 14 zones respectively (Exhibit 3).
The property is also in the Talbot Urban Separator of the City(Exhibit 4).

C. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions and appropriate
state agencies to determine whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed
environmental impacts anticipated to occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff and
state reviewers have identified that the proposal is likely to have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts:The land use application includes a report by the geotechnical consulting firm of Earth
Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW). "Geotechnical Engineering Study, Proposed Smithers Ave Residential
Plat...," dated.February 25, 2013 that addresses the feasibility of the proposed development from a
geotechnical standpoint.
ESNW performed cone penetration tests (CPT) on the project site to determine soil conditions in the
vicinity of the proposed new construction.The results of these tests, which took place in mid-January,
2013, indicate that soils to depths of 1 to 2 feet consist of moderate to well-compacted silty, sand fill;
soils underlying these fills are highly variable interbedded alluvial soils composed of silts, clay, silty clay,
and silty sand layers at depths up to 20 feet. Below this depth the CPT indicate very dense silty sand
and sand and gravel. Based on the geotechnical research, ESNW concluded in the Study that the
project was "feasible from a geotechnical standpoint."
The western half(approximately) of the site is designated as a critical area, based on the presence of
"sensitive" and "protected" slopes (Exhibit 6) and "high landslide hazard" area (Exhibit 7). Sensitive
slopes are those with slope angles of between 25 and 40 percent and protected slopes are those
estimated to be between 40 and 90 percent.The area west from the line marking the natural top of
the protected slope to the west property boundary, between the north and south property lines, shall
be designated Native Growth Protection Area (NGPA) W. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) shall be
incorporated and the responsibility for maintenance of the NGPA shall be assigned to the HOA on the
face of the plat prior to recording.
A subsequent ESNW report, dated April 10, 2013, specifically addressed proposed slope setbacks.
Based on this ESNW slope analysis,the proposed development would "not increase the threat of the
geologic hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond the pre-development conditions."
Regardless of this assessment,the Environmental Review Committee, on July 15, 2013, requested a
geotechnical report by a second geotechnical firm. On July 29, 2013,the firm of Associated Earth
Sciences, Inc. was engaged by the City,with fees paid by the project proponent.Their report of
October 31, 2013 (Exhibit 13), provided an assessment of the initial geotechnical report, the proposed
grading plan, and made various suggestions for plan revisions, including elimination of the rockery,
increasing the building foundation setbacks, and revision of the proposal to discharge stormwater from
the vault at the top of the slope. Based on this report, staff recommends that building permits be
issued, prior to construction, for any retaining walls at the project, regardless of site location and
height, and that all such walls be structural.
ESNW responded to the peer review in a report dated December 2, 2013. Cross-sections of the
subsurface conditions were provided in this report, as was a landslide hazard analysis. Additional
information was requested by the City, and was provided in a follow-up letter from ESNW dated
December 10, 2013.

Report of'uly� , August 18,2014 Page 6 of 9
In January 2014,the City retained the firm of HartCrowser to provide tertiary review of the collective
geotechnical reports and analyses to that date.Their conclusion in a report, "Geotechnical Review of
Permit Documents—Vuecrest Residential Development," dated February 24, 2014 (Exhibit 14), was
that "minimum risk statement" required by Renton Municipal Code 4-3-05012 and provided by ESNW
in their letter of December 10, 2013,was supported by the geotechnical analyses, based on common
geotechnical engineering practice.
HartCrowser did not, however, endorse the proposal to discharge surface water at the top of the
protected slope, recommending a stormwater collection and discharge design that "specifically
address[es] the potential for increased surface erosion and potential for slope instability...associated
with the proposed design."
The City, on April 11, 2014,further clarified the necessity to redesign the stormwater collection and
discharge system in a letter to the project proponent (Exhibit 15). On July 16, 2014, a resubmittal was
made that included revised plans (Exhibits 5, 9, and 11), a revised Technical Information Report (Exhibit
16), a Letter of Intent regarding the ability to utilize an existing downstream private stormwater system
(Exhibit 17), and assessment of the weight of the proposed stormwater vault and its effect on the
adjacent slope (Exhibit 18).
At this time, staff recommends approval of the revised plans with conditions as listed below.
Mitigation Measures:
1. Recommendations regarding site preparation, grading, excavation, and slab-on-grade
construction included in the report, "Geotechnical Engineering Study, Proposed Smithers Ave
Residential Plat...," dated February 25, 2013, by Earth Solutions NW, LLC, shall be followed prior
to and during construction.
2. The area west from the line marking the natural top of the protected slope to the west property
boundary, between the north and south property lines, shall be designated Native Growth
Protection Area W.
3. A Homeowners' Association (HOA) shall be incorporated and the responsibility for maintenance
of Native Growth Protection Area 'A' shall be assigned to the HOA on the face of the plat prior
to recording.
4. Building permits shall be issued, prior to construction, for any retaining walls at the project,
regardless of site location and height, and all such walls shall be structural.
5. Building setbacks from the north-south top-of-slope line located west of Smithers Ave S shall be
made a condition of approval of the preliminary plat. Furthermore, the top of slope and the
building slope setback line shall be indicated on the final plat map.
6. Easements required to accommodate the conveyance of surface water from the project site to
the area-wide, downstream system shall be finalize prior to issuance of utility and site
construction permits.

2. Water (Wetland and Stream)
Impacts:There is a wetland and a stream on the project site. The land use application included "Critical
Area Study for Vuecrest," dated April 8, 2013, and "Supplemental Stream Study for Vuecrest Estates,"
dated May 10, 2013, both by Wetland Resources, Inc. (WRI).
According to the Critical Area Study, a jurisdictional wetland is located in a depression on the east and
south areas of the site. It is, apparently, a single wetland,the north portion of which curves off site to
the east (Exhibit 8); then back onto the south one-third of the site.The Study further states that a
stream flows westward within the south part of the wetland.
The Study classified the wetland as palustrine,forested, broad-leaved deciduous, saturated (Category
II), with differing characteristics north and south. The northern portion being more influenced by the
proximity to higher-density residential development, with a higher concentration of invasive species
than the southern part, which has a higher concentration of native plants. Category II wetlands require
a 50-foot buffer. Buffer averaging is available and has been proposed to accommodate roads, a
stormwater structure, and building lots.
The stream was identified as an intermittent, non-salmonid, averaging approximately 2 feet wide, with
an average gradient of more than 20 percent. Based on these characteristics, the stream has been
classified by WRI as Class 4. (See "Otak Review" below)
The northern portion of the wetland is in an area identified as Tract 'E' on the Preliminary Plat Plan
(Exhibit 9). The southern portion of the wetland, the stream, and two tracts, 'B' ("sensitive area") and
'C' ("tree retention") abut the south property line. Tract 'E' shall be designated Native Growth
Protection Area 'B' and the area of the south wetland,the stream, and Tracts 'B' and 'C' shall be
designated Native Growth Protection Area 'C.' The responsibility for protection and maintenance of
Tracts 'B' and 'C/ in accordance with Renton Municipal Code requirements, shall be assigned to the
Homeowners' Association. Such responsibility shall be recorded on the face of the plat.
In order to verify the potential impact on critical areas by the proposed development,the City retained
the firm of Otak to provide a peer review of the previously cited Critical Area Study. In their report of
April 3, 2014, "Vuecrest Estates Wetland and Stream Review" (Exhibit XX), Otak verified as accurate the
wetland delineation as flagged in the field. Furthermore,the Category 2 wetland criteria under RMC 4-
3-050M are met.
The Otak Review found, however, that the Class 4 stream (rating verified), does not appear to flow
through the wetland, but rather begins at the top of the protected slope.Their recommendation is that
the Critical Area Study and Supplemental Stream Study be revised to remove the stream from plans
where it is shown within the wetland, revising the stream description and its linear dimensions
accordingly. Staff further recommends that this be made a condition of approval.
The Otak Review stated that wetland enhancement may result in increased disturbance of the wetland
and buffer. A less invasive approach is recommended that requires that all wetland and buffer areas
onsite be monitored for 5 years, once per year in the summer, as a condition of project approval.
Therefore, a monitoring plan shall be submitted and approved prior to issuance of utility and road
construction permits and shall be initiated prior to recording the plat. A bond, meeting the
requirements of the Renton Municipal Code, shall be required for the monitoring period of no less than
5 years.

3. Stormwater
Impacts:A "Technical Information Report for Vuecrest Estates Preliminary Plat," by D.R. Strong
Consulting Engineers, Inc., dated May 21, 2013, was submitted with the land use master application.
This report indicates that most of the undeveloped site drains to the Black River subbasin, following
the stream channel at the southern portion of the site westward to discharge near the southwest
corner of the property. From the site,the flow follows a vegetated channel near S 50th Street to a
conveyance system at Talbot Road S (Exhibit 10).
Development of the site would result in approximately 2.82 acres of impervious surface. Surface water
runoff would be collected and conveyed to an on-site stormwater detention facility. A cast-in-place
concrete storm detention water quality vault has been proposed on Tract 'A.'The proposed vault
would present a 9 to 10-foot wall facing the westerly protected slope, at the top of a 9-foot (+/-)fill
slope (Exhibit 11). Upon recommendation of staff, this vault was relocated somewhat to the east away
from the top of slope. This change is reflected on the revised site plan dated July 15, 2014.
Runoff was proposed to be discharged from this structure to the existing wetland at the top of the
protected slope. During project review, it was determined that runoff should be conveyed in a closed
system from the vault to the areawide system at the bottom of the slope and the drainage plan was
revised accordingly (see "Earth," above).
Mitigation Measures:
1. Discharge from the vault shall be tight-lined away from the protected slopes.
Nexus: State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Review; RMC 4-6-030, Drainage (Surface
Water) Standards
4. Plants
Impacts: There are approximately 401 trees over 6 inches in diameter on the part of the property to
be developed (excludes protected slope area on the west approximately half of the site). Most trees on
this portion of the site would be removed prior to construction, except 122 within the wetland and
wetland/stream buffer and 42 trees to be retained on "tree retention tract" and elsewhere. In the R-8
Zone,thirty percent of the significant trees must be retained or replaced. Based on the Tree Retention

formula (RMC 4-4-130.H), 140 trees must be replaced. The project proposal indicates that replacement
of trees would occur as part of the post-construction landscaping. Trees to be planted in the landscape
area associated with the public streets, however, must be installed prior to recording the plat. A
detailed landscape plan must be submitted prior to issuance of the street and utility construction
permits.

Dear Mr. Waltier:
As requested, Associated Earth Sciences, Inc. (AESI)has completed geotechnical review of the
above-referenced documents prepared by Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) which are being
used to support a request by the Geonerco Properties WA, LLC (Geonerco) to obtain permits
for a 21-lot residential subdivision from the City of Renton. Authorization to proceed with this
review was granted by Mr. Jamie Waltier of Geonerco and was accomplished in general
accordance with our proposal dated August 14, 2013.
The purpose of our review is to check for compliance with minimum code standards,
completeness, to note obvious factual errors, consistency of data with conclusions and
standards of practice. To date, our services have included review of published and
unpublished literature we have in our files, review of the..referenced reports, review of the
"Vuecrest Estates, Preliminary Plat, Conceptual Road and Grading Plan," Sheet C4, dated
September 20, 2013 by D. R. Strong Consulting Engineers (DRS), and preparation of this
letter.

Site and Project Description
Based on available information and the description provided in the February 25, 2013 ESNW
report, the 5.3 acre site consists of an undeveloped, wooded parcel located south of South 47"'
Street at the intersection with Smithers Avenue South where it enters into the site in Renton,
Washington. Wetland tracts are mapped east and south portions of the site. Topography
across that portion of the site to be developed slopes generally toward the south and west.
Within the western portion of the site, a 2HAV (Horizontal:Vertical) (approximate) slope
descends in excess of 100 vertical feet toward the western property line; total slope height is
undetermined as topography presented on the referenced DRS Plan stops approximately
100 feet short of the west property line and does not show a toe of slope. A 311:1 V
(approximate) slope descends to the south approximately 10 vertical feet toward a westerly
trending ravine within the southerly portion of the site. The February 25', 2013 ESNW report
indicates that a visual slope reconnaissance was conducted across portions of the steep slope
areas of the site and that no signs of recent, large scale erosion or slope instability were
observed and that "stability of the slope areas of the property can be characterized as good."
It appears that ESNW did not have a detailed site plan showing current proposed development .
for preparation of the referenced February 25, 2013 report. The two subsequent reports
referenced above describe currently proposed development and present stability sections that
appear to be based on the referenced DRS Plan but do not list the specific reference.
Proposed development as shown on the referenced DRS Plan includes a 21-lot subdivision with
an estimated earthwork volume of approximately 3,300 cubic yards cut and 10,000 cubic yards
fill. Development is concentrated to the flatter portion of the site and will occupy
approximately the northeastern two-thirds of the property. Smithers Avenue is to be extended
south from 47' Avenue to the central portion of the site where the roadway will turn east and
extend to the eastern property line as SE 186 ' Place. A storm water vault is to be located
within the southwest portion of the development area. Lots 1 through 8 and the storm water
vault are situated along the top of the westerly descending 2H:IV slope. A 4-foot-high rockery
wall is proposed along the western edge of these lots and vault area. A 211:1V fill slope will
extend from the wall to the pad grade. Excluding the height of the wall, the fill slope achieves
a maximum slope height of up to approximately 20 vertical feet. As planned, the structures on
Lots 1 through 8 will extend anywhere from a few feet to approximately 40 feet onto the
proposed fill slope. As proposed, the storm water vault will be discharged into the westerly
trending ravine within the southern portion of the site.
Subsurface Conditions
The referenced reports generally summarize subsurface conditions at the site as glacial till.
The February 25, 2013 report indicates that soil "terraces were observed down the steep slope
at the west side of the site which may correlate to the recessional stratified drift kame terrace
deposits, however, the proposed development will not extend to those locations." Test pit logs
presented with the February 25, 2013 report indicate medium dense to dense, moist to wet
2
sand to a depth of 8 feet in TP-1 within the northeast portion of the site; medium stiff to hard,
moist to wet silt located along the top of the slope in TP-6 and TP-7, and between 2.5 and
8 feet below ground surface within TP-8 within the western portion of the site; and, medium
dense to very dense, generally moist, silty sand with variable gravel below the sand in TP-1,
below the silt in TP-8 and within TP-2 through TP-5 across the remainder of the site.
Review of the Geologic Map of King County, Booth, Troost, Wisher, May 2006, indicates that
recessional outwash and/or pre-Fraser, coarse grained non-glacial soils on the westerly
descending slope within the western portion of the site and glacial till within the central and
eastern portion of the site. An earlier publication titled: Geologic Map of the Renton
Quadrangle, King County, Washington by D.R. Mullineaux, U.S. Geological Survey,
Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ-405, Publication Date: 1965, Map Scale: 1:24,000 indicates
that the soils on the westerly descending slope within the western portion of the site consist of
undifferentiated quaternary deposits of glaciofluvial sand and gravel, glaciolacustrine clay and
sand, and non-glacial sand, clay and thin peat.
Ground water was reported at a depth of 6 feet within the sandy soil reported in TP-1; ground
water was not reported within the other test pits excavated at the site.
Comments
Based on our review, we have the following comments:
1. Our general impression is that subsurface conditions within all but the northeast portion
of the site were treated in the reports as a single homogeneous unit, when it appears
based on information presented on the referenced geologic maps, that site geology is
more complex. Given the importance of slope stability to the project and the potential
for geologic aspects of subsurface stratigraphy to play a major role in slope stability,
the geology cross section of the slope and associated engineering properties should be
defined in greater detail. A supplemental report should be prepared and should contain
a geologic map and geologic cross-section(s). The map and section(s) should show the
test pit locations, location and extent of geologic strata encountered, existing and
proposed grade, proposed retaining walls, proposed buildings and conceptual depths of
foundations. There may not currently be enough existing subsurface information to
determine the presence of potentially adversely oriented interbeds of silt or other plane
of weakness that could affect slope stability; additional, deeper subsurface exploration
borings may be necessary.
2. The Renton Municipal Code (RMC)4-3-050-B1c defines sensitive slopes as twenty five
percent (25%) to forty percent (40%) and protected slopes, forty percent (40%) or
greater. RMC 4-3-050-J1 defines "Geologic Hazards" and provides specific guidelines
for activities on or within 50 feet of sites with geologic hazards. The following
classifications for geologic hazards are taken directly from RMC 4-3-050-J1:
3
a. Steep Slopes:
i. Steep Slope Delineation Procedure: The boundaries of a regulated steep
sensitive or protected slope are determined to be in the location identified on
the City of Renton's Steep Slope Atlas. An applicant's qualified professional
may substitute boundaries independently derived from survey data for the.
City's consideration in determining the boundaries of sensitive or protected
steep slopes. All topographic maps shall utilize two foot (2') contour intervals
or the standard utilized in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas.
ii. Steep Slope Types:
(a) Sensitive slopes.
(b) Protected slopes.
b. Landslide Hazards:
i. Low Landslide Hazard (LL):Areas with slopes less than fifteen percent (IS%).
ii. Medium Landslide Hazard (LM):Areas with slopes between fifteen percent
(I5%) and forty percent (40%) and underlain by soils that consist largely of
sand, gravel or glacial till.
iii. High Landslide Hazards (LH):Areas with slopes greater than forty percent
(40%), and areas with slopes between fifteen percent (15%) and forty percent
(40%) and underlain by soils consisting largely of silt and clay.
iv. Very High Landslide Hazards (Ltd:Areas of known mappable landslide
deposits.
c. Erosion Hazards:
i. Low Erosion Hazard (EL):Areas with soils characterized by the Natural
Resource Conservation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation Service) as
having slight or moderate erosion potential, and that slope less than fifteen
percent (I5%).
ii. High Erosion Hazard (EH):Areas with soils characterized by the Natural
Resource Conservation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation Service) as
having severe or very severe erosion potential, and that slope more steeply
than fifteen percent (I S 7o).
As indicated earlier in this letter, current development plans include placement of a
4 foot wall on the face of the westerly descending slope within the western portion of
4
the site. The wall is to support the toe of a 2H:1V fill slope to create support pads for
the proposed residences and vault along the top of the slope. The residential structures
on.these pads will extend into the sloping area.
3. Based on the classifications presented above, the slope on which the retaining wall/fill
slope is to be founded is a regulated steep sensitive/protected slope (RMC 4-3-05041a)
with high erosion hazard (RMC 4-3-05041b(iii)), and high landslide hazards (RMC
4-3-050-J1c(ii)). Based on these designations, development is prohibited per RMC
4-3-05045a. In order for development to be allowed, RMC 4-3-05042 requires that a
study must demonstrate the following:
o The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or
abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions; and (Ord. 5676,
12-3-2012)
o The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
o The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
The three conditions listed above have not been satisfied by the referenced reports. The
results of X stability analyses before and after development demonstrating how the
three conditions as listed above are satisfied,25required. r4VI y,u(, n , g*I;
C4-ce,6ao low
4. Grading regulations outlined in RMC 4-4-060L require that a line be established from
which setbacks for structures and slopes is to be measured and a minimum setback for
each are presented. The report documents imply that the line from which setback is to
be measured is at the top of the existing westerly steep slope. Plans indicate that
residential footings will extend into the steeply sloping fill within the western portion of
the site. Based on the steepness of the slope (50 percent) a setback between the lowest
outside edge of footings to daylight in the adjacent slope face would be more
appropriate.
5. RMC 4-4-060 N6 indicates that creation of a permanent fill slope in excess of 15 feet
high at a 40 percent gradient would create a protected steep slope and would not be
allowed unless conditions of RMC 4-3-050 N2a(ii) are satisfied. As presented, the
stability analyses evaluate the potential for deep-seated instability of the slope under
both existing and proposed conditions. The analyses should.also consider the stability
of the proposed fill slope/wall where slopes in excess of 15 feet are proposed (Lots 1,
7, and 8). The conditions of RMC 4-3-050.J.2 a (i, ii, iii) as indicated in Comment 2
must be met.
6. The following Table presents a summary of factors of safety presented for existing and
proposed conditions anticipated at the site as presented in the April 10, 2013 and
July 15, 2013 reports. During our review of the analyses, several issues were noted
5
which require re-evaluation of various conditions and presentation of revised factors of
safety.

1. Slice thickness is less than 1 foot between toe of slope and exit point. Exit point should be re-evaluated and
modified.
2. Location of center/radius of failure circle shown on section does not agree with center/radius listed in calculation.
3. Missing results for slip circle center and slices-cannot evaluate results.
4. Value in parenthesis is presented on calculation sheets-does not agree with value indicated on section
5. Failure circle analyzed and results presented is inconsistent with results on section-entry/exit points for failure
circle indicate a relatively small portion of the slope.
6. The vault should be modeled as a surcharge rather than a region with strength parameters.
Stability analyses conducted on the westerly descending slope should be re-evaluated based
on understanding of subsurface conditions in the vicinity of the slope enhanced through
Comment 1, above.
7. ESNW indicates that rockeries will be used to "face" fill slopes. Rockeries may be used
to mitigate erosion of cut slopes where very dense native soil is exposed. Unreinforced
rockeries are not engineered structures and where in excess of 4 feet high (including
imbedment depth), should not be used in place of retaining walls.
8. As proposed storm water from the detention vault is to be directed toward the southerly
ravine and ultimately toward the westerly descending slope, ESNW has identified the soils
on the slope as "high erosion hazard" and should consider alternate recommendations to
prevent water from being directed over site slopes. Alternatively, the applicant should
demonstrate that flow from the outfall system will not cause erosive flows.
9. February 25, 2013 report indicates design in accordance with the 2006 International
Building Code (IBC). The City of Renton has adopted the 2012 IBC. Seismic design of
structures should be in conformance with the 2012 IBC including recommended seismic
surcharge on walls.

REVIEW COMMEiVTS
Based on our review of the above-referenced documents, it is our opinion that the appl'icant's
geotechnical engineer(ESNW) has addressed the review comments provided by the City of Renton
peer review geotechnical engineer (AESI; letter dated October 31, 2013) in a manner that is
generally consistent with current geotechnical practice in our local area. We understand that no
additional follow-up review by AESI has occurred after the ESNW response. However, in their
December 2, 2014 response to the AESI review comments, ESNW submitted additional slope
stability analyses and addressed AESI's questions regarding geologic cross section and deeper soil
conditions. Additionally, in their December 10, 2013 letter, ESNW also provided the minimum risk
statement(three conditions of no adverse development impact), as required by Renton Municipal
Code (RMC 4-3-050-J2.b) and requested by the City of Renton in their email correspondence dated
December 9, 2013.
A brief summary of the main geotechnical review comments by AESI and final responses by ESNW,
along with our comments, is provided below for your information:
1. AESI commented that additional geologic cross sections and more detailed and deeper
subsurface information was required for the slope stability analysis. ESNW generally
responded in their December 2 letter that additional explorations should not be necessary
since the test pit explorations confirmed dense, glacially-derived soil and perched
groundwater conditions across the site, and that the risk of deeper subsurface uncertainty
(such as risk of a potential weaker soil slippage plane) is very low. Given the geologic
mapping of glacial soils at the site and the relatively low inclination of the steep slopes
(about 50 percent, or 2Horizontal:1 Vertical [1 H:1 V% we concur this assessment is
consistent with common geotechnical engineering practice.
2. The current proposal is to construct house footings on the planned fill slope, with a
setback of 20 feet from the existing top of the steep slope area. AESI commented that the
proposed 2H:1 V fill slope at the top of the existing steep slopes (sensitive area) should also
be considered a regulated sensitive/protected slope (if greater than 15-foot high), with the
additional development setback requirement behind the top of the planned fill slopes.
ESNW responded in their December 2 letter by reducing the fill slope height to 15 feet
and providing a 10-foot setback from the existing top of steep slope area to the toe of the
planned fill slope, while maintaining the 20-foot setback from the existing (native) top of
slope. Given the provided slope stability analysis showing a static and seismic safety factor
against slope failure of 1.78 and 1.22, respectively, for this condition, we would consider
this a reasonable design based on common geotechnical engineering practice.'For
AW
Otak — Water and Natural Resources 19017-00
February 24, 2014 Page 3
reference, slope stability safety factors of 1.5 in the static case and 1.1 in the seismic case
are generally considered adequate in local geotechnical engineering practice.
3. AESI commented that there were several issues with the initial slope stability analyses
provided. In our opinion, these were adequately addressed by ESNW with their
supplemental slope stability runs submitted on December 2, 2013, based on common
geotechnical engineering practice.
4. The original design proposal included a 4-foot high rockery at the base of the planned
2H:1 V fill slope. AESI commented that an unreinforced rockery should not be used as a
retaining wall structure. ESNW responded by removing this rockery from the design. In
addition, the toe of the fill slope was also moved 10 feet back from the existing top of
steep slope area, as discussed in item 2 above.
5. A stormwater detention vault is proposed near an existing drainage ravine at the south end
of the site, with a planned release of stormwater into the existing ravine. Given the
classification of the site soils as "high erosion hazard,"AESI commented that the applicant
should demonstrate that such stormwater discharge will not cause erosive flows within the
existing ravine, or provide alternate discharge design to prevent stormwater directed over
the site slopes. ESNW responded in their December 10 letter that storm drainage facilities
have been designed to discharge stormwater at a pre-developed flow rate into the existing
ravine, which will reduce the potential for instability. While this sounds like a reasonable
approach, we recommend that the applicant be required to provide a stormwater
collection and discharge design stamped by a licensed civil engineer with expertise in
stormwater design. This design should specifically address the potential for increased
surface erosion and potential for slope instability with associated with the proposed design.
SUMMARY
ESNW provided the following code-required minimum risk statement in their December 10 letter:
■ The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting
properties beyond pre-development conditions;
s The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
■ The proposal can be safely accommodated on the site.
Given the presence of competent glacial soils at the site, the relatively low inclination of the existing
steep slopes (2H:1 V), and the slope stability analyses demonstrating static and seismic safety factors
Aur
Otak- Water and Natural Resources 19017-00
February 24, 2014 Page 4
against slope failure exceeding the generally accepted values of 1.5 in thie static case and 1.1 in the
seismic case, we consider this a reasonable statement based on common geotechnical engineering
practice in this area.
USE OF THIS LETTER
Work for this project was performed, and this letter was prepared, in accordance with generally
accepted professional practices for the nature and conditions of the work completed in the same or
similar localities, at the time the work was performed. It is intended for the exclusive use of Otak
and the City of Renton, or their consultants, for specific application to the referenced site. This
report is not meant to represent a legal opinion. No other warranty, express or implied, is made.
We based our review on subsurface conditions interpreted from subsurface soil and groundwater
conditions reported by others. The nature and extent of conditions between the explorations may
differ from those presented. If significant subsurface variations become evident during construction,
we recommend that the geotechnical engineer of record be consulted to provide revised design
recommendations, as needed.

Re: Campcn Sprha99 Condominium Association("Association") PLANNING DIVISION
Letter of Intent--Weeresi Project
Dear Mr.Baringer:
Your company has been working on a project adjacent to and upslope from the
Association known as Vuecrest("project"); You have asked the Association.if you could tie into
the Association's storni drain system.
You have asked for this letter of intent as the City of Denton has requested that our
6lienits submit to the City a signed letter of intent regarding the Association's willingness to grant
the easement.and your cliezit's willingness to abide by certain.conditions of the grant. As such, I
have ben authorized to issue this letter on behalf of the Association.
At the Association's regular and duly noticed monthly Board meeting on June 24,2014,
the Board approved.proceeding with allowing the Project to tie into the storm drain system at a
Catch Basin No. 14•shown on sheet 7 of 33 :of the dampenSprings Apartments engineering
plans prepared by Daley-Morrow Poblete, Inc., dated June 19,2042 in a roadway a few teus of
feet west of the birdcage. (Not at the upstream bypass pipe.) This storui drain system handles the
storm water runoff from the Association's development. This would keep the Projeces storm
water out of the Association's water features, but it would route it through..the Association's
detention vault.
This approval-is contingent upon;;
1. The execution of mutually agreeable temporary construction easements and
permanenteasements effecting the tie in. (As discussed previously, the'Association will require

that both the temporary and permanent. asemerits retain language requiring'all upslope homes

for cleanouts and/or fines imposed by the City of Renton for the Association's lines and storm
drain system and Catch basins, (iii)any damages to of breach of the Association's system caused
by flooding, or acts and/or omissions of the upslope homes. There will be other conditions as
well, including, but not limited to, payment and reimbursement of legal.and expert.fees and
costs..)
2. Details acid calculations to be confirmed by Owen Reese when available from DR
Strong, tti ensure the Association's storm water system-could safely and sufficiently handle the
discharge without flooding,
I Your plans include-a couple other elements related to storm water management
and slope stability such as:
a. The NW corner of the Vuecrest property will require building up by several feet.
From a geological/slide perspective, the Association will insist that the retaining
wall be a properly engineered retaining wall ratifier than just a simple rockery
embankment to hold the fill. (Thus,,if there is any movement of the hillside in the
future, xocks from retaining Wall will be less likely to clime loose and tumble
downhillinto.Campen Springs) Second, in retation to the substantial.amount of
fill required for a few of the western line of lots,we would insist that,rather than
using native soils from the site as fill,imported,more structured Fill be utilized to
provide greater stability to the slope/lat foundation.
b. Finally,.for the .other western lots, utilizing the small slope of the lot to eiiable
storm water runoff and natural permeation to the soil is preferable to digging a
trench for an interceptor pipe with gravel fill.
Neither party is'bouiid to one ainothei until the execution of any easements,
This letter of intent is not jntimded to be, and .shall not constitute, a binding and
enforceable agreemeixt between the parties. It merely sets forth their present-intentions with
respect to the tetras proposed, which terms may or may not become .part of a definitive
agreement, .as a.basis for future negotiations. It is not based upon any .existing agreement
between the parties, and is not intended to impose any obligation. other than an obligation to
bargain in good faith.
No other legal of equitable Fights, responsibilities or duties are created hereby, or by the

Vault Detail Sheet
Dated June 19, 2014
Dear Jamie:
Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this letter to provide an assessment regarding
the weight of the proposed stormwater vault and its effect on the adjacent slope.
Based on information provided by the project structural engineer (Mr. Dan Kosnik, P.E.), the
vault, when full and including 18 inches.of soil cover will weigh 1,500 pounds per square foot.
With a footprint of 5,900 square feet, the maximum weight of the vault will be 4,425 tons.
Based on information provided by the project civil engineer (Mr. Maher Joudi, P.E.), the volume .
of soil displaced by the vault will be 3,676 cubic yards or 99,250 cubic feet. Using an in-situ soil
unit weight of 120 pounds per cubic foot, the weight of soil displaced by the vault will be 5,955
tons. Therefore, even when the vault is full of water, it is 1,530 tons lighter than the soil it
replaced.
As currently designed, the setback from the top of the steep slope to the edge of the vault is 40
to 58 feet from the top of the steep slope. Given the setback from the slope and the fact that
the vault will weigh 1,530 tons less than the soil it replaces, the vault will increase the overall
stability of the slope RECEIVED

F. PROJECT NARRATIVE.
In 2013,the project proponent submitted a land use master application for subdivision of a 9.31 acre
property located in the Talbot Planning Area of South Renton [Exhibit 2]. During the application review,the
City of Renton required additional information to be submitted.A"hold"was placed on the project review
on July 16, 2013.The requested additional information was submitted and project review recommenced on
July 22, 2014. The project was revised with the following results:the number of lots was reduced by one to
20, lot sizes changed,the primary access road was realigned slightly to the east, a rockery retaining wall
was eliminated from the top of a steep slope,grading on the west side of the portion of the site to be
developed was modified,and the surface water control plan revised.
The project is subject to State Environmental Protection Act(SEPA)compliant environmental review and
Preliminary Plat approval for the subdivision.The project proponent submitted a request for Modification
of Renton Municipal Code to allow a dead-end road in excess of 700 feet.The site has two Category 2
wetlands,one of which connects to a class 4 stream.
The site contains three land use zones, Residential 1 dwelling unit per net acre (du/ac), Residential 8(8
du/ac) and Residential 14(14 du/ac) [Exhibit 3].Additionally,the area zoned R-1 is located within the Urban
Separator overlay.Only the 6.06 acre (263,328 so portion that is zoned R-8 is proposed to be developed.
The proposed density would be 4.23 du/ac Subdivision into 20 lots would result in a density of 4.05
dwelling units per net acre. Lot sizes would range from 4,500 square feet to 8,134 square feet. In addition
to the 20 lots, 6 tracts are proposed for sensitive areas and tree retention.

The site is proposed to be accessed via an extension of Smithers Ave.S.The requested modification of
Renton Municipal Code, if approved,would permit this access although it is considered to be a "dead end"
road from the intersection of SE 186`h St.
The undeveloped site has approximately 400 trees that have been deemed to be"significant."Trees will be
removed, retained, and replaced as required by Renton Municipal Code.An estimated 3,396 cy of cut and
10,035 cy of fill would be required for site construction.A stormwater detention vault is proposed that
would discharge to a closed conveyance system on site and subsequently transported to an area-wide
system off site.The applicant has submitted a Critical Areas Report,Supplement Stream Study,Traffic
Impact Analysis,Slope Analysis,Geotechnical Engineering study,and a Drainage Technical Information
Report with the application.
Goals,objectives,and policies of the Residential Low Density(RLD), Residential Single-Family(RSF), and
Residential Medium Density(RMD)Comprehensive Plan Land Use designations are implemented by the
regulations and standards of the Residential 1, Residential 8,and Residential 14 zones respectively.
The property is also in the Talbot Urban Separator of the City [Exhibit 4].

H. APPLICABLE SECTIONS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.
1. Land Use Element
2. Community Design Element
I. MODIFICATION REQUEST
The project proponent submitted a request to modify Renton Municipal Code 4-6-060"Street Standards,"
Section H, "Dead End Streets." RMC 4-6-060H states that cul-de-sac turnarounds and dead end streets are
only permitted when there are demonstrable physical constraints and no future connection to a larger
street pattern is physically possible. In addition,this section of the RMC further requires a secondary access
be provided when the primary access is a dead end street longer than 700 feet.
The proposed project site is located at the end of an existing dead end street in excess of 700 feet.The
proposal asks for approval of a temporary cul-de-sac on an extension of this street.The length of the
extended dead-end street would be approximately 2,364 feet,from the point at which it becomes a dead
end at Main Avenue South (SE 102nd St)and SE 186th St to the new street end within the proposed project.
Currently,there are 99 lots that are accessed by this dead end street. Previous land use actions assumed a
second access would eventually become available.The Renton Fire Department does not support the
current request to continue modification of the RMC requirement for a secondary access, due to concerns
for public health and safety in the event of an emergency situation. The Department of Community and
Economic Development also does not support the modification request because the project proponent has
not demonstrated that there are insurmountable physical constraints and/or future connection to the
wider system is not possible. (For additional discussion and staff recommendation,see Section K. 9"Impact
on Public Services—Fire," below)
J. FINDINGS OF FACT.
1. The project proponent submitted a land use master application for a preliminary plat subdivision of a
9.31 acre site into 20 lots and 6 tracts[Exhibit 5]. The tracts are for storm drainage,tree retention, and
critical areas(protected slopes,wetlands,and a stream).The proposal would have a density of 4.23
dwelling units per net acre.
2. The land use master application includes a request to modify the Renton Municipal Code 4-6-060H to
allow access by a dead end street longer than 700 feet,without a secondary access.Staff recommends
that the Modification request be denied,although the decision lies with the Hearing Examiner.
3. The Planning Division of the City of Renton accepted the land use permit master application for review
on May 21,2013, and determined the application complete on June 7, 2013. The project complied with
the 120-day review period.The project was placed on "hold" on July 16, 2013,due to the requirement
that a secondary geotechnical study be completed.The hold was removed, upon submittal of additional
information, on July 22,2014.There were numerous written comments submitted [Exhibit 6].
4. The City required stormwater to be conveyed from a vault to an existing stormwater system at the
bottom of the protected slope by means of a 12-inch diameter pipe.This conveyance on the protected
slope meets the requirements for an exemption from the Critical Areas Regulations.
5. The proposed plat would be located south of Smithers Ave S, south of S 47th St.
6. The property has Residential Low Density(RLD), Residential Single-Family(RSF),and Residential
Medium Density(RMD) Comprehensive Plan land use designations,the policies of which are
implemented by the regulations and standards of the Residential 1(R-1), Residential 8(R-8), and

Residential 14(R-14)zoning classifications, respectively. Only that portion of the property designated
RSF and zoned R-8 is proposed for development.The RSF designation is intended to be used for quality
detached residential development organized into neighborhoods at urban densities.
7. The proposed residential lots would range in size from 4,500 sf to 6,650 sf.
8. The site is not developed,with the exception of a paved temporary cul-de-sac, located at the terminus
of Smithers Ave S on the north portion of the property.
9. The following are proposed lot sizes and approximate dimensions for Lots 1-20 and Tracts A through E:
Lot Size Width Depth
Lots (Minimum 50 ft., except
(Minimum 4,500 sf) (Minimum 65 ft.)
60 ft.for corner lots)
Lot 1 6,069 sf 51.23 feet 121.89 feet(average)
Lot 2 6,008 sf 51.74 feet 124.43 feet(average)
Lot 3 6,265 sf 51 feet 124.06 feet(average)

Lot 11 5,129 sf 50 feet 102.58 feet
Lot 12 5,237 sf 60 feet(corner lot) 90 feet
Lot 13 4,500 sf 50 feet 90 feet
Lot 14 4,500 sf 50 feet 90 feet
Lot 15 4,500 sf 50 feet 90 feet
Lot 16 5,323 sf 60 feet(corner lot) 90 feet
Lot 17 4,985 sf 67.32 feet(corner lot) 80 feet
Lot 18 4,507 sf 56.25 feet 80 feet
Lot 19 5,528 sf 61.33 feet(average) 88.96 feet(average)
Lot 20 5,622 sf 64.54 feet(average) 88.84(average)
Tract A 16,426 sf
Tract B 48,847 sf
Tract C 18,513 sf
Tract D 1,458 sf
Tract E 24,017 sf
10. Tract A would be the site of a stormwater control vault.Tracts B and E would be sensitive areas
(wetland)and C an area for tree retention.Tract D would be an open space.
11. Proposed Lots 1-8 would be directly accessed from Smithers Ave S; Lots 9 and 10 would be accessed
from a new street,S 48th Pl (SE 186th PI); Lots 11-16 would be accessed from the alley; and Lots 17-
20 would be accessed from a private access easement(S 47th CT).Tracts A and D would be accessed
from Smithers Ave S and Tract E from the alley.Tracts B,C, and F would be inaccessible to vehicles.
12. Topographically,the site has a wide-range of slopes,from 2 percent to greater than 75 percent within
the proposed development area [Exhibit 7].The steepest slopes are to the west of the development
area and consist of slopes deemed to be "protected" by the Renton Municipal Code.This area would be
preserved as a Native Growth Protection Area within Tract A.

13. There are 401 trees on the site that have been deemed "significant." Renton Municipal Code requires
that,of these, 65 trees must be retained or replaced.The Tree Cutting/Land Clearing Plan [Exhibit 81
indicates 42 trees would be retained;therefore, new trees must be planted.The plan proposes that 140
two-inch caliper replacement trees(280.8 caliper inches)would be planted on the site [Exhibit 9].
14. The preliminary landscape plan indicates street trees would be planted along the public and private
streets [Exhibit 10]. Additional landscaping is proposed although the landscape plan is currently
"conceptual"only.A"Landscape Plan, Detailed,"as per RMC 4-8-120L, must be submitted prior to
issuance of construction permits.
15. A drainage report and drainage plan, 'Technical Information Report for Vuecrest Estates," Revised,July
15, 2014, by D.R.Strong Consulting Engineers, Inc.,was submitted [Exhibit 11].The report
demonstrates compliance with 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and additional requirements,
based on specific site conditions,as required by the Department Community and Economic
Development.
16. Although the project site lies within the boundaries of the Renton Water Service Area,the City does not
have water service mains near the project site.Water service would be provided by the Soos Creek
Water and Sewer District from an existing water main located at the Smithers Ave S street end at the
north portion of the property.A certificate of water availability from SCWSD must be provided prior to
issuance of construction permits.
17. Sanitary sewer service would be provided by the City of Renton. [Exhibit 12].
18. Pursuant to the City of Renton's Environmental Ordinance and State Environmental Policy Act(SEPA
RCW 43.21C, 1971 as amended), on August 26, 2014,the Environmental Review Committee issued a
Determination of Non-Significance-Mitigated (DNS-M)for the Vuecrest Estate Preliminary Plat [Exhibit
13].The DNS-M included 9 mitigation measures [Exhibit 14]. A 14-day appeal period commenced on
August 29,2014,and ended on September 12, 2014, no appeals of the threshold determination were
filed.
19. No agency comments were submitted, but there were numerous public comments received during
public comment period [Exhibit 6].
20. Representatives from various city departments have reviewed the application materials to identify and
address issues raised by the proposed development.These comments are contained in the official file,
and the essence of the comments has been incorporated into the appropriate sections of this report
and the Departmental Recommendation at the end of this report.
X CONCLUSIONS.
PRELIMINARY PLAT REVIEW CRITERIA:Approval of land subdivision is based upon several factors.The
following criteria have been established to assist decision-makers in the review of the plat.
(✓Compliant; Note 1: Partially compliant; Note 2: Not compliant; Note 3: Compliance not yet demonstrated)
1.CONFORMANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The site is designated Residential Low Density(RLD), Residential Single-Family(RSF), Residential Medium
Density(RMD)on the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map, although only the portion zoned RSF is proposed
for development. The proposal is consistent with the following Comprehensive Plan Land Use and
Community Design Element policies if the project is developed compliant with all regulations and conditions
of approval.
Land Use Goal 1: Plan for future growth of the Urban Area based on regionally developed
✓ growth forecasts, adopted growth targets, and land capacity as determined through
implementation of the Growth Management Act.
Land Use Goal 7: Promote new development and neighborhoods in the City that:

✓ a. Contribute to a strong sense of community and neighborhood identity;
b. Are walkable places where people can live,shop, play, and get to work without
always having to drive;
Note 2 Staff Comment. While there would be a system of sidewalks throughout the plat, the
context of the development precludes pedestrian access to shopping or employment
opportunities.
✓ c. Are developed at densities sufficient to support public transportation and make
efficient use of urban services and infrastructure;
✓ d. Offer a variety of housing types for a population diverse in age, income, and
lifestyle;
✓ e. Are varied or unique in character;
✓ f. Support"grid"and "flexible grid" street and pathway patterns where appropriate;
✓ g. Are visually attractive, safe, and healthy environments in which to live;
✓ h. Offer connection to the community instead of isolation; and
✓ i. Provide a sense of home.
Land Use Objective LU-FF:Manage and plan for high quality residential growth in Renton
and the Potential Annexation Area that:
✓ a. Supports transit by providing urban densities,
✓ b. Promotes efficient land utilization, and
c. Creates stable neighborhoods incorporating built amenities and natural features.
Note 1 Staff Comment. There are no existing built amenities at the location of the proposed
rp oiect.
Policy LU-140. Pursue multiple strategies for residential growth including:
✓ Infill development on vacant and underutilized parcels in Renton's established
neighborhoods
Policy LU-146.Small-lot, single-family infill developments and plats should be supported as
✓ alternatives to multi-family development to both increase the City's supply of single-family
detached housing and provide homeownership opportunities.
✓ Policy LU-158. Net development densities should fall within a range of 4.0 to 8.0 dwelling
units per acre in Residential Single Family Neighborhoods.
Policy LU-159. Maximum height of structures should not exceed two (2)stories in sJan
family residential neighborhoods.
Policy LU-160. Designate land for Residential Single-Family land use where there is
exist
ing pattern of single-family development in the range of four to eight units per net acre
Note 1 and where critical areas are limited.
Staff Comment: The proposed project is only partially compliant due to the presence of steep
slopes and wetlands.
Community Design Objective CD-D: New development should have an interconnected road
network that supports multi-modal transportation.
Note 2 Staff Comment: The proposed project is not compliant due to the lack of connection to a
larger vehicular circulation system. Multi-modal transportation opportunities are not
available at this location.
✓ Policy CD-19. Land should be subdivided into blocks sized so that walking distances are
minimized and convenient routes between destination points are available.
✓ Policy CD-20. Orient site and building design primarily toward pedestrians through master
planning, building location,and design guidelines.
✓ Policy CD-22. During land division,all lots should front streets or parks.
Note 2 Policy CD-25.Streets,sidewalks, and pedestrian or bike paths should be arranged as an

interconnecting network. Dead-end streets and cul-de-sacs should be discouraged.A grid or
"flexible grid" pattern of streets and pathways,with a hierarchy of widths and
corresponding traffic volumes,should be used.
Staff Comment:Both a dead-end street and cul-de-sac are proposed.See Section I
"Modification Request"above.
Policy CD-26. Interpret development standards to support plats designed to incorporate
✓ vehicular and pedestrian connections between plats and neighborhoods. Future street
connections should be clearly identified to notify residents of future roadway connections.
✓ Objective ME: New development and infill patterns should be consistent with a high
quality urban form.
✓ Policy CD-34.Support project site planning in residential land use designations that
incorporates the following,or similar elements, in order to meet the intent of the objective:
✓ a. Buildings oriented toward public streets,
✓ b. Private open space for ground-related units,
✓ c. Common open or green space insufficient amount to be useful,
✓ d. Landscaping of all pervious areas of the property, and
✓ e. Landscaping, consisting of groundcover and street trees (at a minimum), of all
setbacks and rights-of way abutting the property.
Policy CD-39. Ensure quality development by supporting site plans and plats that
✓ incorporate quality building,development,and landscaping standards that reflect unity of
design and create a distinct sense of place.
✓ Policy CD-40. Use design regulations to provide direction on site design,building design,
landscape treatments,and parking and circulation.
✓ Policy CD-41.Site design of development should relate, connect,and continue design
quality and site function from parcel to parcel.
Policy CD-42.Site design should address the effects of light,glare, noise,vegetation
✓ removal,and traffic in residential areas.Overall development densities may be reduced
within the allowed density range to mitigate potential adverse impacts.
Objective CD-F: Ensure privacy and personal space in residential developments.
Note 3 Staff Comment:Assurance of privacy and personal space would be demonstrated with the
development of individual lots.
Policy CD-44. Development should be designed (e.g.site layout, building orientation,
setbacks, landscape areas and open space, parking,and outdoor activity areas)to result in a
Note 3 high quality development as a primary goal, rather than to maximize density as a first
consideration.
Staff Comment.Assurance of high quality design and development would be demonstrated
with the development of individual lots.

neighborhoods should be included in development proposals.
Policy CD-57.Single-family lot size, lot width, setbacks, and impervious surface should be
✓ sufficient to allow private open space, landscaping to provide buffers/privacy without
extensive fencing,and sufficient area for maintenance activities.
2.COMPLIANCE WITH THE UNDERLYING ZONING DESIGNATION:
The portion of the site proposed for development is classified Residential 8(R-8)on the City of Renton
Zoning Map. RMC 4-2-110A provides development standards for development within the R-8 zoning
classification.The proposal is consistent with the following development standards, if the project complies
with all regulations and conditions of approval.
Density:The minimum density allowed in the R-8 zone is 4 dwelling units per net acre
(du/ac).The maximum density permitted in the R-8 zone is 8.0 du/ac. Net density is
calculated after the deduction of critical areas,areas intended for public rights-of-way,and
private access easements.
✓ Staff Comment.Based on gross site area of 263,328 sf(area zoned R-8), there would be
39,956 sf deducted for public streets; 7,674 sf deducted for a private access road and alley;
9,571 sf for sensitive areas(slope and wetland), therefore, the net area to be developed
would be 206,127 sf(4.73 ac). The 20 lot plat would have a net density of 4.23 dwelling units
per net acre, which is within the allowed range for the R-8 zone.
Lot Dimensions:The minimum lot size permitted in the R-8,for parcels larger than 1 acre
before subdivision, is 4,500 sf. A minimum lot width of 50 feet for interior lots and 60 feet
for corner lots, as well as a minimum lot depth of 65 feet, is also required. Insofar as
✓ practical, side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or radial to curved street lines.
Staff Comment:As demonstrated in finding of fact 7, table above, all lots would meet the
requirements for minimum lot size, depth, and width.
Setbacks:The required setbacks in the R-8 zone are as follows: The minimum front yard
setback is 15 feet; minimum side yard is 5 feet and, if along a public street, 15 feet for the
Note 3 primary structure; minimum rear yard is 20 feet.
Staff Comment:Setbacks are dimensioned on the Preliminary Plat plan and would be verified
at the time of building permit review. The lots would be sufficient size to accommodate a
single family home and meet the setback requirements.
Building Standards: Building height is restricted to 30 feet and 2-stories. Detached
accessory structures must remain below a height of 15 feet and one-story.
The allowed building lot coverage for lots over 5,000 sf in size in the R-8 zone is 35 percent
or 2,500 sf,whichever is greater. For lots 5,000 sf or less,the maximum coverage allowed is
Note 3 50 percent.
The allowed impervious surface coverage is 75 percent.
Staff Comment.The building standards for the proposed lots would be verified at the time of
building permit review.
Landscaping: On-site Landscaping Requirements:Ten feet of on-site landscaping is required
along all public street frontages, including sideyards that abut public streets,with the
exception of areas for required walkways and driveways per RMC 4-4-070.
Landscaping Requirements Within the Public Right-of-Way:A landscaped area with the
minimum dimension of 8 feet in width is required abutting Smithers Ave S,S 47th Ct, and S
Note 1 48th PI (as per RMC 4-6-060F).
Yards abutting public streets must have all pervious areas landscaped in accordance with
RMC 4-4-070.

VUECREST ESTATE PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA13-000642;ECF,PP,MOD
Hearing Date September 16,2014 Page 11 of 18
Staff Comment.Street trees are shown on the conceptual landscape plan. The conceptual
landscape plan, however, does not specify plants.within the required 10 foot wide on-site
landscape area.
Street trees should not be Callery Pear, as shown on landscape plan, due to their small size at
maturity. Use only species/cultivars that attain a large-at-maturity size.Street trees along S
48`x'PI should be different from those on Smithers Ave S,for visual variety and health of the
ecosystem.
Staff recommends, as a condition of approval, the applicant be required to submit a revised
landscape plan, meeting all landscape requirements. The final detailed landscape shall be
submitted to and approved by the Current Planning Project Manager prior to issuance of
construction permits.
Parking: Each unit is required to accommodate off street parking for a minimum of two
vehicles.
Staff Comment:Sufficient area exists, on each lot, to accommodate off-street parking for a
minimum of two vehicles.
3. DESIGN STANDARDS: RMC 4-2-115 delineates residential and open space standards for development
within the R-8 zoning classification.The proposal is consistent with the following design standards if
compliant with all conditions of approval.
Lot Configuration:One of the following is required:
a. Lot width variation of 10 feet(10') minimum of one per four(4)abutting street-fronting
lots,or
b. Minimum of four(4) lot sizes (minimum of four hundred (400)gross square feet size
Note 3 difference),or
c. A front yard setback variation of at least five feet(5') minimum for at least every four(4)
abutting street fronting lots.
Staff Comment.It appears from the proposed plan that option c, above, would be the only
one available to meet the Lot Configuration requirement. Compliance would be
demonstrated when building permit applications are submitted.
Garages:The minimization of the visual impact of garages contributes to creating
communities that are oriented to people and pedestrians, as opposed to automobiles. One
of the following is required:
1. Recessed from the front of the house and/or front porch at least 8 feet, or
2. Located so the roof extends at least 5 feet(excluding eaves) beyond the front of the
garage for at least the width of the garage, plus the porch/stoop area,or
3. Alley accessed,or
Note 4. Located so that the entry does not face a public and/or private street or an access
3 easement,or
5. Sized so that it represents no greater than 50 percent of the width of the front fagade
at ground level,or
6. Detached.
The portion of the garage wider than 26 feet across the front shall be set back at least 2
feet.

4.TECHNICAL SERVICES:There are technical issues related to the preliminary and final plat that must be
addressed prior to recording the plat.These issues have been clarified in comments from the Department of
Community and Economic Development and are included in Exhibit 15.
S.CRITICAL AREAS:There are protected slopes,wetlands, and a stream located within proposed sensitive
area tracts(Native Growth Protection Areas)on the site.The anticipated impacts of these areas have been
addressed in technical reports and studies [Exhibits 16-27] and the Environmental Review Committee Report
[Exhibit 31]. The project complies with all critical area regulations provided all mitigation measures are met
identified in the Environmental Review Committee Report.
A Critical Area Exemption is required to allow placement of a tight-lined stormwater conveyance system in an
area identified as a "protected slope."Storm drainage piping is an activity deemed exempt from the Critical
Areas Regulations(RMC 4-3-050C.5.d.iv) as follows: Installation of new storm drainage lines in any geologic
hazard area when a geotechnical report clearly demonstrates that the installation would comply with the
criteria listed in RMC 4-3-050J2b and that the installation would be consistent with each of the purposes of
the geologic hazard regulations listed in RMC 4-3-050A4.Also,to qualify for the exemption,the report must
propose appropriate mitigation for any potential impacts identified in the report.
Staff Comment: The stormwater outfall high density polyethylene(HDPE)pipe must be secured to the ground
by using anchors and concrete. At the top the pipe is secured to a vault and at the base it is secured with a
slip joint and concrete block. The slip joint is needed because thermo-elastic expansion and contraction of the

City of Renton Department of Community& Economic Development Hearing Examiner Staff Report
VUECREST ESTATE PRELIMINARY PLAT LUA13-000642;ECF,PP,MOD
Hearing Date September 16,2014 Page 14 of 18
pipe will be occurring due to differing temperatures. Typically HDPE above ground pipe installations need to
have anchors for each 50 lineal feet of pipe placed. The City has successfully placed numerous outfall projects
of these types at steep, erosive slopes. These types of outfall installations reduce wet soil bearing weight,
erosion, trenching and other negative effects on the steep slope while retaining more trees and vegetation
that assist with stabilizing the slope. (See also Section 8 "Stormwater"below)
6.COMMUNITY ASSETS:The proposal is consistent with the following community asset requirements:
Tree Retention: RMC 4-4-130 states 30 percent of the trees shall be retained in a residential
development.
Staff Comments: There are approximately 401 trees deemed to be "significant"(over 6
inches in diameter)on the site. Of these, none have been determined to be dead, diseased,
or dangerous. The tree retention formula, as per RMC 4-4-130H,for the R-8 zone, requires
Note 2 that 65.4 trees must be retained. The project proposal indicates that 42 trees would be
retained. Therefore, 140 two-inch diameter trees, or 280.8 "replacement inches"are
required.A tree replacement plan has been submitted indicating 69 two-inch diameter trees
would be planted. Staff recommends the Replacement Tree Plan be revised to show the
proposed locations for replanting 140 two-inch diameter replacement trees.
Tree protection measures during construction shall be required as per RMC4-4-130H8 and 9.
7.COMPLIANCE WITH URBAN SEPARATOR OVERLAY REGULATIONS: RMC 4-3-110 provides requirements
for development of land within the Urban Separator Overlay area of the City. Regulations listed below are
applicable to Portions of the Urban Separator Outside the Established Contiguous Open Space Corridor or are
Standards within the entire Urban Separator(the Talbot Urban Separator does not include a Contiguous
Open Space Corridor).

Renton,WA 98057 Available Upon Request
Dear Ms. Higgins:
The Reserve at Stonehaven Homeowners Association, a community of 36 homeowners and taxpayers
within Renton city limits continues to be strongly opposed to the application for,and approval of,
the project named "Vuecrest Estates"-Land Use Number LUA 13-000642, ECF, PP-which was
recently re-activated after a year on hold.
The project would be at the end of an already densely-developed dead-end one-way-out access
road-jeopardizing the safety and security of our families and the property values of our homes.
It adds bottlenecks;traffic and noise as well as burdens on the water main systems--with a potential
flow rate which may not be sufficient for peak firefighting demand and puts at risk homeowners and
the ability of fire and rescue response.
Finally,the project is in violation of wetlands protections and environmental common sense.The
proposal is simply too large for an extremely sensitive environmental area.
We and our neighboring residents continue to request denial or substantial limitation of this
development as currently proposed.We are requesting the following:
1. Denial of the project,or significant reduction to the scale of the project plan.
2. Denial of exceptions to distance limits for single street access for fire department response.
3. Denial of the application for Determination of Non-Significance-Mitigated-(DNS-M).The impact
continues to be significant and is still not mitigated in the current proposal.
4. Reduction by at least five additional home sites which are violating critical areas and wetlands--
and needs significantly greater retention of trees and wildlife habitat.
5. Greatly increased scope of buffer protection around critical wetland and stream areas.
6. Detailed plans to mitigate traffic, parking,safety and access issues.
7. Detailed plans to assure safe fire/rescue and water main capacity which --•

Wetland and Stream Review
Project No.: 32385.0
This review pertains to the Preliminary Plat application of Vuecrest Estates (City of Renton LUA13-
000642) submitted by the applicant;Harbour Homes, to the City of Renton (City).The proposed
Vuecrest Estates is located to the south of the intersection of South 47`s Street and Smithers Avenue
South,and east of Morris Avenue South. Otak has been asked by the City of Renton (the City) to
review the submitted critical areas documents and to provide comments regarding their applicability
to the Renton Municipal Code (RMC), specifically,Section 4-3-050, Critical Areas Regulations. A
separate geotechnical peer review was also conducted by Hart Crowser and the results
communicated to the City. This memo addresses critical areas associated with wetland,stream,and
buffers.
The following documents were reviewed in terms of compliance with the critical areas sections of
the City code:
• CriticalArea Study for Vuecrest,prepared by Wetland Resources,Inc.,dated April 8,2013;
• Supplemental Stream Study for Vuecrest Estates,prepared by Wetland Resources,Inc.,dated May
10,2013;
• Environmental Committee Review Report for Vuecrest Estates,prepared by the City of
Renton Department of Community and Economic Development,dated July 15,2013;
• Vuecrest Estates plans (Sheets C1,C3-C7,and N1),prepared by D.R_ Strong Consulting
Engineers,and received by the City on May 21,2013.
The Critical Area Study(CAS) and Supplemental Stream Study (SSS)identify an on-site Category 2
wetland per the RMC,and a Class 4 stream—also per the RMC—associated with the wetland. The

Elizabeth Higgins,Senior Planner, City of Renton Page 2
1Vuecrest Estates Wetland and Stream Review April3,2014
CAS indicates that wetland buffer averaging is proposed for the project site,and outlines the
rationale for meeting the City's criteria for buffer averaging eligibility. The SSS assesses stream and
stream buffer impacts,concluding that no loss of stream function or value will occur from the
proposed project.
Comment 1
Otak biologists visited the site on February 28,2014. We determined that the wetland delineation is
accurate as flagged in the field,and agree that the wetland meets the criteria for a Category 2 wetland
I under RMC 4-3-050(M).
Recommendations: None
Comment 2
The CAS,SSS,and project plans show that the Class 4 intermittent stream begins in the southern,
linear wetland and flows generally west within the wetland until it reaches the 40%slope area.
During Otak's site visit,we determined that a stream does not appear to be present within this
wetland;although it appears that water at times may flow through the wetland,no streambed,
streambanks, or sorted gravels were observed.The stream begins at the 40% slope area,at wetland
flag WRA-27, and continues generally west down the steep slope (as shown on Sheet C1)—showing
defined channels,some incision,and generally indicative of a system with significantly more stream
flow energy due to the much steeper gradients .We agree with the characterization of the stream as
an intermittent,non-salmonid-bearing stream and the Class 4 rating.
Recommendations:We recommend that the applicant revise the CAS and SSS (combining the
content is acceptable),and remove the stream from plans where it is shown within the wetland,
revising the stream description and its linear dimensions accordingly.This revision means that
overall,only a very small area of the 35-foot-wide stream buffer will be impacted,in the southwest
corner of the proposed development area.This stream buffer impact area is included within the
wetland buffer impact area, for which buffer averaging is already proposed.
Comment 3
According to the CAS Map (contained in the CAS),the proposal for wetland buffer averaging
reduces the wetland buffers in four areas,totaling 10,468 square feet(sf . Buffer addition areas are
proposed in four areas,three of which are labeled and total 12,195 sf. The applicant should revise
the CAS Map to show the square footage of the triangular buffer averaging addition area
immediately east of Lot 10.Although a minor discrepancy,page 3 of the CAS calls out 10,463 feet
of buffer reduction and 12,198 square feet of buffer addition in contrast with the quantities on the
CAS map.
Recommendations: Minor revision of the CAS to correct these discrepancies.

Elizabetb Higgins,Senior Planner, City of Renton Page 3
Vaemst Estates Vetland and Stream Review April3,2014
Comment 4
On page 3 of the CAS,the second sentence "Therefore buffer averaging is not proposed" should be
amended to "...buffer enhancement..."
Recommendations: Minor revision of the CAS to correct this discrepancy.
Comment 5
The buffer averaging proposal in the CAS has demonstrated that it meets all of the requirements in
RMC 4-3-050. Buffer averaging reduction areas on the project site are vegetated with native trees
and contain an understory of native shrubs and some herbaceous groundcover. The buffer averaging
addition areas contain similar vegetative communities as the reduction areas,and have approximately
the same number of significant trees as the reduced areas (16-17 trees in each the addition and
reduction areas).Non-native/invasive vegetation coverage is very low in the wetlands and buffers
onsite. As such,the existing buffers and wetland areas are of moderate to high value.Adding plants
could cause more disturbance to a natural and well-functioning system. For these reasons and the
buffer averaging justification given.in the CAS,it is our opinion that a wetland enhancement plan is
not required to comply with Code,although the Environmental Committee Review Report (ECRR)
(City of Renton;July 15,2013) recommends one in the Water(Wetland and Stream)Mitigation
Measure#1. However,recommended monitoring(see below) may result in wetland or buffer
enhancement actions as an adaptive management response to vegetative loss or introduction of non-
native invasive species.
Mitigation Measure#2 in the ECRR requests "a mitigation plan demonstrating enhancement of the
areas where stream buffers are reduced." The review report says that a planting plan for reduced
stream buffers is required,per RMC 4-3-050.L5.c.ii;however,this section of the code is for stream
buffer reduction,not buffer averaging.As discussed in this comment above,it is our opinion that the
buffer averaging proposal does not require a planting plan per the RMC. This is a moot point,as
the stream is considered to be located only on the steep slope (not in the southern,linear wetland
where buffer averaging is proposed).
The existing on-site habitat consists of contiguous, forested habitat with very little invasive plant
species coverage. Much of the wetland system is contained within this interior forested habitat,
although residential development encroaches on the wetland to the northeast.The proposed
development adjacent to reduced buffer areas will result in overall reduction of this habitat,
fragmentation of the remaining forested habitat,and a significant increase in edge habitat. These
alterations are likely to result in non-native/invasive vegetation(e.g.,Himalayan blackberry,English
ivy, Scotch broom,etc.) invading the critical areas and their remaining buffers.

Elizabeth Higgins,Senior Planner, City ofRenton Page 4
Vueerest Estates Wetland and Stream Review April3,2014
Recommendations: We recommend that all wetland and buffer areas onsite be monitored for 5
years,once per year in the summer,as a condition of project approval.If non-native/invasive
vegetation is observed,it should be removed immediately (by hand).The monitoring should also
determine whether additional plantings or other contingency actions are recommended as adaptive
management approaches,in order to preserve the baseline conditions of the critical areas.We
recommend that the applicant submit a monitoring plan (which may be included in the revised CAS)
prior to issuance of utility and road construction permits.We recommend that the applicant post a
bond (financial guarantee) for this monitoring period.
Comment 6
The plans show stormwater discharging from the detention/water quality vault into the
wetland/stream buffer,approximately 40 feet to the northeast of the steep slope,at the beginning of
the stream and the west end of the southern,linear wetland.According to the Geotechnical
Engineering Study (Earth Solutions NW;February 25,2013),"the sloped areas along the western
margins of the site would be severely susceptible to erosion,in our opinion." In high-gradient
stream systems with potentially erodible soils,any additional water could cause erosion on the slope.
This erosion would likely eventually affect downstream habitat and water quality,and could
destabilize the slope during rain events. Given the high risk of erosion,the position of the
stormwater vault and the proposed discharge point,and the presence of protected slopes (40% or
greater slopes),an alternative design and/or additional analysis are warranted.
Recommendations: We strongly reiterate and support the City's previous recommendation in the
ECRR to tightline the discharge down the slope for the Vuecrest project,preferably discharging into
a stormwater conveyance system that has capacity to accept these flows. Although the applicant.
conducted analysis of the stormwater vault using the King County Runoff Time Series Model per
City of Renton Code,we recommend re-analysis of the proposed stormwater vault capacity and
associated metrics (discharge duration and peak flow discharges) using a different model such as
MGS Flood or WW IM if the proposed discharge to the wetland above the steep slope is retained as
a design feature. In addition,should the proposed discharge point be retained as a design feature,
greater detail concerning the outfall/discharge structure,proposed energy dissipation,and other
relevant detail should be provided by the applicant.
Please feel free to call Darcey at(425)739-7977 or Kevin at(425) 739-7975 if we can answer any
questions regarding our comments and recommendations.

SITE DESCRIPTION
Wetland Resources, Inc. (WRI) conducted a site investigation on September 6, 2012 on
a 9.31-acre parcel located at the southern terminus of Sr ithers Avenue South in Renton,
WA (portion of Section 31, Township 23N,Range 05E, W.M.). King County Tax Parcel
#3123059048 is the subject property for this report. The purpose of this investigation
was to identify any jurisdictional wetlands and streams on and in the vicinity of the
subject parcel.
The investigation area is bordered by Morris Avenue South to the west, with residential
development to the north, south and east. No structures are currently present within the
boundary of the subject property. A temporary cul-de-sac associated with the terminus of
Smithers Ave S is located in the north central portion of the site. The remaining portion
of the site is forested and.appears relatively undisturbed and is vegetated with a mixed
canopy, non-mature forest. Topography of the site generally trends west with a slight
depression near the eastern property boundary, a linear depression roughly paralleling
the southern property line, and steep west aspect slope on the western half of the site.
As part of this investigation, one wetland and stream were identified on the subject
property. The wetland is located within the depressional- areas on the eastern and
southern portions of the site. It is classified as a Category If wetland and is designated a
50-foot protective buffer from its flagged boundary. In addition to the wetland, an
intermittent non-salmonid stream flows through the western portion of the wetland
boundary and down the steep slope. This stream is classified as a Class 4 and is
designated a 35-foot.buffer from its flagged boundary. In situations where wetland and
stream buffers overlap,the more restrictive shall apply.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the eastern two-thirds of the property into
twenty-one single-family residential lots. Access for these lots will be from the
continuation of Smithers Avenue S. In order to accomplish this development activity, the
applicant is proposing buffer averaging per the provisions established in RMC Chapter 4-
3-050M(6)(fl,which requires:
i. That the wetland contains variations in ecological sensitivity or there are existing
physical improvements in or near the wedand and buffer; and
The on-site wetland varies from slightly disturbed in its northern portion with yard waste
and detritus from Idd-related activities to less disturbed in its southern portion. As such
vegetation in the northern portion has a higher concentration of invasive species and the
southern portion is more native in composition. In addition, existing single-family
residential development is located immediately adjacent to the east of the wetland and
buffer area.

Puecrest 1 WRI#12174
ii. That width averaging will not adversely impact the wetland functions and values;
and
Direct compensation of functions and values will be addressed by providing additional
buffer of a similar composition to the reduction area at a 1:1 rating. No impacts to
existing functions and values of the wetland area expected by the proposed buffer
averaging activity.
iii. That the total area contained within the wetland buffer after averaging is not less
than that contained within the required standard buffer prior to averaging; and
In order to meet the requirements established for buffer averaging a greater than 1:1
(reduction:addition) ratio is provided. The final buffer area will be slightly larger that
prior to averaging.
iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The
Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management for Wetlands, McMillan
2000, or similar approaches have been conducted. The proposed buffer standard
is based on consideration of the best available science as described in WAS 365-
195-905; or where the absence of valid scientific information,the steps in RMC 4-
9-250F are followed..
The buffer evaluation method identified above provided provides detailed descriptions of
buffer widths and overall effectiveness of protecting wetland and stream functions. Table
4 within the aforementioned document described the differences between 10-meter and a
20-meter buffer. As described in the table,both buffer widths provide an approximate 60
percent sediment and pollutant removal and provide limited habitat values. The
averaging proposal combined with the tree retention tract will more usable wildlife
habitat and an, on average, wider corridor that allows wildlife to move freely into the
forested steep slope area to the west. It is the opinion of WRI that given the increase of
1,735 square feet in overall buffer area,.the proposed buffer averaging provides for an
adequate width to protect the wetland and stream.
V. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%)
of the standard buffer or be less than twenty-five feet (25') wide. Greater buffer
width reductions require review as a variance per subsection N3 of this Section
and RMC 4-9-250B; and
The minimum proposed buffer width as part of this averaging activity is 25-feet, which is
50 percent of the standard 50-foot buffer.
Vi. Buffer enhancement in areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a
case-by-case basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and
proposed land development characteristics.
Critical Area Study Wetland Resources,Inc.
Puecrest 2 WRI#12174
The areas of reduction areas identified as part of this averaging proposal, are generally
natively vegetated and would have a limited lift of function from enhancement. Therefore
buffer averaging is not proposed.
The buffer averaging proposed is to average(reduce) 10,463 square feet of buffer adjacent
to SE 1861h PI, the proposed stormwater tract, and Lots 9-11, 20, and 21. In order to
meet the no net loss of buffer requirement, the applicant proposes 12,198 square feet of
addition buffer adjacent to Lots 10, 12-17, 21 and along the south side of the Wetland
and Stream corridor. The applicant will designate all the wetland, stream and associated
buffers as a Native Growth Protection Area(NGPA)Tract.
WETLAND AND STREAM CLASSIFICATIONS—COWARDIN SYSTEM
According to the Cowardin System, as described in Classification of Wetlands and
Deepwater Habitats of the United States, the classifications for the on-site wetland and
streams are as follows:
Wetland: Palustrine, Forested,Broad-leaved Deciduous, Saturated.
Stream: Riverine,Intermittent, Streambed.
WETLAND AND STREAM CLASSIFICATIONS-CITY OF RENTON
Under the City of Renton's Critical Area Regulations in Renton's Municipal Code
(RMC), Title 4 Chapter 3-050, the wetlands and streams within the vicinity of the subject
site are classified as follows:
Wetland—Category II
The on-site wetland is a depressional wetland adjacent to the intermittent stream. This
wetland is Classified as a Category H under the RMC 4-3-050(M), since it is located at
the headwater of the on-site stream and, as such,receives a standard buffer of 50 feet.
Stream_Class 4
The intermittent stream originates within the on-site wetland near the southern property
boundary and flows down the stream slope to the west. Stream B is a seasonal, non-fish
bearing stream and, as such, classified under RMC 4-3-050(L) as a Class 4 stream and
receives a standard buffer of 35 feet.
In the city of Renton, Class 2-4 streams, regulated wetlands and their buffers are
designated collectively as Native Growth Protection Areas (NGPAs). As stated in RMC
3-50(E)4: The common boundary between a native growth protection area and the abutting land must be
permanently identified This identification shall include permanent wood or metal signs on treated or metal
posts. Sign locations and size specifications shall be approved by the City. Suested wording is asfollows-
"Protection of this natural area is inyour care.Alteration or disturbance is prohibited by law."

WETLAND DETERMINATION REPORT
Methodology
On site, routine methodology as described in the Waslhington State Wetlands
Identification and Delineation Manual (Washington State Department of Ecology
Publication #96-94, March 1997), was used for this determination, as required by the
City of Renton. Under this method, the process for making a wetland determination is
based on three sequential steps:
l.) Examination of the site for hydrophytic vegetation (species present and percentage
cover).
2.) If hydrophytic vegetation is found,then the presence of hydric soils is determined.
3.) The final step is determining if wetland hydrology exists in the area examined under
the first two steps.
The following criteria descriptions were used in the boundary determination:
Vegetation
The Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, 1997 edition,
states that "more than 50 percent of the dominant species in each stratum present must
be rated"Facultative" or wetter to meet hydrophytic vegetation criteria
Soils
The Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, 1997, states that
hydric soils are defined as soils that are saturated,flooded, or ponded long enough during
the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part(within 18 inches of
the surface). The criteria for a "wetland soil' is that a hydric soil must support
hydrophytic vegetation and wetland hydrology indicators must be present. Field
indicators are used for determining whether a given soil meets the definition and criteria
for hydric soils.
The soils underlying this site are mapped in the Soil Survey ofKng County Area Washington as
Alderwood gravelly sandy loam, 6 to 15 percent slopes.
The Alderwood soil unit is made up of moderately well drained soils that have a weakly
consolidated substratum at a depth of 24 to 40 inches. In a representative profile, the
surface layer and subsoil are very dark brown, dark brown, and grayish brown gravelly
sandy loam about 27 inches thick. The substratum is grayish-brown, weakly consolidated
to strongly consolidated glacial till that extends to a depth of 60 inches and more. Soils
included with this soil mapping make up no more than 30 percent of the total acreage.
Some areas are up to 25 percent Everett soils that have slopes of 15 to 30 percent, and
some areas are up to 2 percent Bellingham, Norma, and Seattle soils, which are in
depressions. Runoff is medium,and the erosion hazard is severe.
Critical Area Study Wetland Resources,Inc.
Puecrest 4 WRI#12174
Hydrology Criteria
The Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual 1997 edition,
states that criteria for designation as a wetland based on hydrology is met when "areas
which are seasonally inundated and/or saturated to the surface for a consecutive number
of days ?12.5 percent of the growing season, provided that soil and vegetation
parameters are met. Areas inundated or saturated between 5 and 12.5 percent of the
growing season in most years may or may not be wetland. Areas saturated to the surface
for less than 5 percent of the growing season are non-wetlands." Field indicators are
employed in the determination that wetland hydrology parameters are met.
BOUNDARY DETERMINATION FINDINGS
Wetland
The on-site wetland is a linear depressional wetland located in the eastern and southern
portions of the site. Vegetation within the wetland consists of a canopy of red alder(Alnus
rubra, FAC) and western red cedar(Thuja plicata, Fac); with an understory of. sa.lmonbeny
(Rubes spectabihi, FAC), spirea (Spiraea douglasii, FacW), lady fern (Athyrium felix femina, Fac)
edge (Carex sp., OBL), and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens, FACW). Soils in this
wetland are typically a black(2.5Y 2.5/1)silt loam from the surface to eight inches below.
The sublayer is a dark grayish brown (2.5Y 4/2) silt loam with redoximorphic features
present. Soils were dry to the surface during the September 2012 investigation.
The dominance of species rated "Facultative" or wetter satisfies the criteria for
hydrophytic vegetation in the areas mapped as wetland. Based on field indicators of
hydric soils, it appears that the areas mapped as wetland are saturated to the surface for
more than 12.5 percent of the growing season, thereby fulfilling wetland hydrology
criteria in the absence of observed primary indicators of hydrology. This wetland meets
all criteria for designation as a wetland.
Non-Wetland
The areas mapped as non-wetland are generally forested with a mixed canopy non-
mature forest. Vegetation species within the forest generally include Western red cedary
(Thuja plicata, Fac), big-leaf maple (Acer macrophyllum, FacU), red alder (Alnus rubra, Fac),
Oso-berry (Oemlaia cerasiformis, Facq, red huckleberry (Vaccinium p=ifolium, Facq,
dewberry(Rubes ursinus,Facq, and swordfem (Polystichum munitum, FacU.
Non-wetland soils were typically a very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) silt loam with no
redoximorphic features from the surface to 3 inches below. From 3 inches to greater than
18 inches the soils changes to a dark yellowish brown (lOYR 3/4 ) silt loam with no
redoximorphic features. These soils were dry during the September 2012 site visit.
Based on the lack of field indicators, it appears that areas of the site mapped as non-
wetland are not saturated to the surface for more than 12.5 percent of the growing
season, thereby not fulfilling wetland hydrology criteria.

WETLAND FUNCTIONS AND VALUES ASSESSMENT
Methodology
The methodology for this functions and values assessment is based on professional
opinion developed through past field analyses and interpretation. This assessment
pertains specifically to the wetlands and streams in the vicinity of the site,but is typical for
assessments of similar systems common to Western Washington.
Functional Components
Wetlands in Western Washington perform a variety of ecosystem functions. Included
among the most important functions provided by wetlands are: stormwater control, water
quality improvement, fish and wildlife habitat, aesthetic value, recreational opportunities
and education. The most commonly assessed functions and their descriptions are listed
below. Assessments of these functions for the project site are provided in the "Analysis"
section of this report.
Hydrologic Functions
Wetlands often function as natural water storage areas during periods of precipitation and
flooding. By storing water that otherwise might be channeled into open flow systems,
wetlands can attenuate or modify potentially damaging effects of storm events, reducing
erosion and peak flows to downstream systems. Additionally, the soils underlying
wetlands are often less permeable,providing long-term storage of stormwater or floodflow
and controlling baseflows of downstream systems. Stormwater storage capacity and
floodflow attenuation are generally a function of the size of the wetland and their
topographic characteristics.
Water Quality
Surface water quality improvement is another evaluated function. Surface runoff during
periods of precipitation increases the potential for sediments and pollutants to enter
surface water. Wetlands improve water quality by acting as filters as water passes through
them, trapping sediments and pollutants from surface water. Ponded areas within
depressional wetlands also allow sediments to drop out of suspension, thereby increasing
water quality. As development increases, the potential for polluted water to reach
wetlands and streams also increases. Unnaturally high inputs of pollutants, which are
often found in urbanized areas, along with the size of the wetlands and the vegetation
structure within them are the main limiting factors of this function.
.Wildlife Habitat
Wetlands have potential to provide diverse habitat for aquatic, terrestrial, and avian
species for nesting, rearing, resting, cover, and foraging. Wildlife species are commonly
dependent upon a variety of intermingled habitat types, including wetlands, adjacent
uplands, large bodies of water, and movement corridors between them. Human
intrusion, including development within and adjacent to wetlands, and impacts to
movement corridors are the most limiting factors for wildlife habitat functions.
Assessments of these functions for the project site are provided below.

Existing Conditions
Wetland
Hydrologic Function
The wetland is in a topographic depression adjacent to the intermittent stream. In
general, depressional wetlands with direct connected to an intermittent stream have
moderate potential to perform hydrologic functions. This wetland collects and
temporarily stores precipitation as well as floodwater entering downstream sytems during
storm events. This wetland provides a low to moderate value for this function.
Water Quality
The wetland is moderately densely vegetated and the residence time of water within this
wetland is low to moderate, given its gradient and association with the stream. These
characteristics allow for the wetland to serve somewhat as a filter and allow sediment in
the water to settle. This wetland provides a low to moderate value for this function.
Wzldlife Habitat
This wetland provides a low to moderate level of habitat interspersion given that it is
primarily forested. This wetland provides secondary habitat to multiple species of birds.
However, the size of this wetland and its proximity to residential development limits its
ability to provide -a high value for wildlife functions. This wetland provides a moderate
value for this function.
WILDLIFE
During our September 2012 visit,few wildlife species were observed.
Avian species observed during the site visit include: American crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos),
American robin (Turdus migratorius), house finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), black-capped
chickadee (Poecile atricapillus), bushtit (Psaltri�iarus minimus), and red-breasted nuthatch (Sitka
canadensis).
Mammals expected to use this site include: Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), shrews
(Sorex spp.), coyote (Canis latrans), gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), and eastern cottontail
rabbits(Sylvilagusfloridanus).

SITE DESCRIPTION
Wetland Resources,Inc. (W-RI)conducted a site investigation on September 6, 2012 on.a
9.31-acre parcel located at the southern terminus of Smithers Avenue-_S--in-Renton WA
(portion of Section 31, Township 23N, Range 05E, W.M.). King County Tax Parcel
#3123059048 is the subject property for this report. The purpose of this investigation
was to identify any jurisdictional wetlands and streams on and in the vicinity of the
subject parcel. This report is intended to supplement the Critical Areas Study for
Vuemont, dated April, 8, 2013 (CAS), and meet the requirements established in RMC
Section 4-8-120D.
The investigation area is bordered by Morris Avenue S to the west, with residential j
development to the north, south and east.No structures are currently present within the j
boundary of the subject property. A temporary cul-de-sac associated with the terminus of
Smithers Ave S is located in the north central portion of the site. The remaining portion
of the site is forested and appears relatively undisturbed and is vegetated with a mixed
canopy, non-mature forest. Topography of the site generally trends west with a slight
depression near the eastern property boundary, a linear depression roughly paralleling
the southern property line,and steep west aspect slope on the western half of the site.
As part of this investigation, one wetland and stream were identified on the subject
property. Details related to the wetland are identified in the CAS. An intermittent
stream was identified exiting the southern portion of the property flowing west down the
steep slopes identified as part of plat application. At the time of investigation the stream
was entirely dry. Its channel becomes incised at the point it intersects the steep slope
(greater than 40%)before exiting the site near its southwest corner.
The on-site stream is intermittent, non-salmonid, averaging approximately 2 feet wide
has an average gradient of greater than 20 percent and is not mapped on King County
iMap, Salmonscape or the Washington State Department of Natural Resources Maps.
Per RMC 4-3-050L streams with these characteristics are classified as a Class 4 and is
designated a 35-foot,buff.4 from its flagged boundary. In situations where wetland and
stream bufl'ers overlap,the more restrictive shall apply.
ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE S
The applicant is proposing to subdivide the eastern two-thirds of the property into
twenty-one single-family residential lots. Access for these lots will be from the
continuation of Smithers Avenue S and extending east to a temporary turn around at SE
186th Pl. The applicant evaluated the potential for extending the road to the south,which
would cross the wetland and stream system but opted.to avoid the impact No impacts
are proposed to the Class 4 stream The only modification is buffer averaging which is
. ...........
primarily associated with the wetland buffer.
Supplemental Stream Study
Vuecrest 1 WRI#12174
i
i
Avoidance — No impacts are proposed to the Class 4 stream: Multiple development
alternatives were evaluated and it was determined that the goals of the development
proposal could be accomplished by avoiding direct impacts to the stream. The buffer I
averaging would be necessary to accommodate the SE 1861h Pl, the proposed stormwater
detention tract,and Lots 9 and 10.
Minimization—Impacts to the stream have been minimized to the greatest extent possible.
First by avoiding impacts as described above and second by limiting impacts to buffer
averaging, primarily the wetland buffer, and only a very small portion of the stream
buffer(the wetland buffer is the most restrictive).
Rectifying - No permanent or temporary impacts are proposed to the Class 4 stream,
therefore no restoration is proposed.
Reducing—Tract B(Sensitive Area Tract)will be permanently protected and therefore the
potential temporal impact associated with the buffer averaging will,be reduced over time.
Compensating—The buffer averaging proposal meets the requirements established in RMC
Chapter 4-3-050(L)(5)(d) and (M)(6#. In addition, high quality forested buffer will be
provided on the southern side of the wetland and stream at the required 1:1 ratio.
IMPACT EVALUATION
(a) There is one Class 4 intermittent stream located within the boundary of the
subject property. The stream averages approximately 2 feet wide and is
approximately 650' long on site. It has a mud bottom with no cobble-gravel
substrate. This stream primarily acts as a conveyance of hydrology from the
upstream wetland. It does have a moderate water quality and stormwater
storage function given the presence of instream woody and emergent
vegetation and its association with the on-site wetland system. No fish habitat
is present within the on-site portion of the stream or immediately
downstream.
(b) The applicant is entirely avoiding impacts to the on-site stream. Buffer
averaging is proposed along the stream/wetland system, but it mostly relates
to the larger wetland buffer. It's unlikely any alternative,site plans would have .
ess unpact to the stream system.
.........
(c) The application meets the criteria established in RMC Chapter 4.-3-050(L)(5)(d)
and (M)(6)(f). and is entirely avoiding impacts to the on-site Class 4 stream
therefore,no significant detrimental impacts are proposed or will occur as part of
this project.
(d) Since no impacts are proposed to the Class 4 stream and the buffer averaging
proposal averaging proposal has been designed to meet the criteria established in
RMC Chapter 4-3-050(L)(5)(d) and (M)(6)(i), there are no expected cumulative
detrimental environmental impacts associated with this application.

CONCLUSION
No reduction in the functions and values of the on-site Class 4 stream are expected
from the implementation of this. proposed development activity. The buffers
adjacent to the stream, even in their averaged form, are generally larger than the
standard buffers required for this type of stream in the City of Renton and therefore
this stream is adequately protected.

REVIEW COMMENTS
Based on our review of the above-referenced documents, it is our opinion that the applicant's
geotechnical engineer (ESNW) has addressed the review comments provided by the City of Renton
peer review geotechnical engineer(AESI; letter dated October 31, 2013) in a manner that is
generally consistent with current geotechnical practice in our local area. We understand that no
additional.follow-up review by AESI has occurred after the ESNW response. However, in their
December 2, 2014 response to the AESI review comments, ESNW submitted additional slope
stability analyses and addressed AESI's questions regarding geologic cross section and deeper soil
conditions. Additionally, in their December 10, 2013 letter, ESNW also provided the minimum risk
statement (three conditions of no adverse development impact), as required by Renton Municipal
Code (RMC 4-3-050-J2.b) and requested by the City of Renton in their email correspondence dated
December 9, 2013.
A brief summary of the main geotechnical review comments by AESI and final responses by ESNW,
along with our comments, is provided below for your information:
1. AESI commented that additional geologic cross sections and more detailed and deeper
subsurface information was required for the slope stability analysis. ESNW generally
responded in their December 2 letter that additional explorations should not be necessary
since the test pit explorations confirmed dense, glacially-derived soil and perched
groundwater conditions across the site, and that the risk of deeper subsurface uncertainty
(such as risk of a potential weaker soil slippage plane) is very low. Given the geologic
mapping of glacial soils at the site and the relatively low inclination of the steep slopes
(about 50 percent, or 2Horizontal:1 Vertical [1 H:1 V)), we concur this assessment is
consistent with common geotechnical engineering practice.
2. The current proposal is to construct house footings on the planned fill slope, with a
setback of 20 feet from the existing top of the steep slope area. AESI commented that the
proposed 2H:1 V fill slope at the top of the existing steep slopes (sensitive area) should also
be considered a regulated sensitive/protected slope (if greater than 15-foot high), with the
additional development setback requirement behind the top of the planned fill slopes.
ESNW responded in their December 2 letter by reducing the fill slope height to 15 feet
and providing a 10-foot setback from the existing top of steep slope area to the toe of the
planned fill slope, while maintaining the 20-foot setback from the existing (native) top of
slope. Given the provided slope stability analysis showing a static and seismic safety factor
against slope failure of 1.78 and 1.22, respectively, for this condition, we would consider
this a reasonable design based on common geotechnical engineering practice. For
AM
Otak - Water and Natural Resources 19017-00
February 24, 2014 Page 3
reference, slope stability safety factors of 1.5 in the static case and 1.1 in the seismic case
are generally considered adequate in local geotechnical engineering practice.
3. AESI commented that there were several issues with the initial slope stability analyses
provided. In our opinion, these were adequately addressed by ESNW with their
supplemental slope stability runs submitted on December 2, 2013, based on common
geotechnical engineering practice.
4. The original design proposal included a 4-foot high rockery at the base of the planned
2H:1 V fill slope. AESI commented that an unreinforced rockery should not be used as a
retaining wall structure. ESNW responded by removing this rockery from the design. In
addition, the toe of the fill slope was also moved 10 feet back from the existing top of
steep slope area, as discussed in item 2 above.
5. A stormwater detention vault is proposed near an existing drainage ravine at the south end
of the site, with a planned release of stormwater into the existing ravine. Given the
classification of the site soils as "high erosion hazard," AESI commented that the applicant
should demonstrate that such stormwater discharge will not cause erosive flows within the
existing ravine, or provide alternate discharge design to prevent stormwater directed over
the site slopes. ESNW responded in their December 10 letter that storm drainage facilities
have been designed to discharge stormwater at a pre-developed flow rate into the existing
ravine, which will reduce the potential for instability. While this sounds like a reasonable
approach, we recommend that the applicant be required to provide a stormwater
collection and discharge design stamped by a licensed civil engineer with expertise in
stormwater design. This design should specifically address the potential for increased
surface erosion and potential for slope instability with associated with the proposed design.
SUMMARY
ESNW provided the following code-required minimum risk statement in their December 10 letter:
■ The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting
properties beyond pre-development conditions;
■ The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
■ The proposal can be safely accommodated on the site.
Given the presence of competent glacial soils at the site, the relatively low inclination of the existing
steep slopes (2HA V), and the slope stability analyses demonstrating static and seismic safety factors
A
AL/
Otak- Water and Natural Resources 19017-00
February 24, 2014 Page 4
against slope failure exceeding the generally accepted values of 1.5 in the static case and 1.1 in the
seismic case, we consider this a reasonable statement based on common geotechnical engineering
practice in this area.
USE OF THIS LETTER
Work for this project was performed, and this letter was prepared, in accordance with generally
accepted professional practices for the nature and conditions of the work completed in the same or
similar localities, at the time the work was performed. It is intended for the exclusive use of Otak
and the City of Renton, or their consultants, for specific application to the referenced site. This
report is not meant to represent a legal opinion. No other warranty, express or implied, is made.
We based our review on subsurface conditions interpreted from subsurface soil and groundwater
conditions reported by others. The nature and extent of conditions between the explorations may
differ from those presented. If significant subsurface variations become evident during construction,
we recommend that the geotechnical engineer of record be consulted to provide revised design
recommendations, as needed.
CLOSING
We thank you for this opportunity to provide geotechnical consulting services. If you have any

Dear Mr. Waltier:
As requested, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this letter to address comments
provided in the referenced geotechnical review letter for the subject project. This letter
specifically addresses concerns regarding stability of the project and potential impacts to the
site and surrounding properties as outlined in City of Renton Municipal Code Section 4-3-
050J.2.b, as noted in a December 9, 2013 email from City of Renton staff.

Comment —Subsurface Conditions
Regarding the ESNW response letter, at least one issue seems to remain outstanding. This is
the requirement that the following three conditions (RMC 4-3-0504.2.b) be met by the proposal:
o The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or
abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions; and
o The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
o The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
Response
Based on the conditions encountered at the test pit locations, review and collaboration with the
project design team and our understanding of the project, the following details address the
three conditions provided in the comment:
• There have been no recorded landslide events on the site based on review of readily
available information, nor were there signs of excessive or chronic erosion or landslide
activity observed during site visits conducted by ESNW representatives. Review of King
County MAP aerial photos dating as far back as 1936 show complete forested
conditions and no signs of landslide activity (we acknowledge the gap of aerial coverage
between 1936 and 1989).
• Subsurface conditions encountered at the test pit locations indicate, from a geotechnical
standpoint, relatively consistent engineering properties exist within the soil strata across
the site and have been considered in developing recommendations for the current
proposal.
• Site designs have been modified to reduce the impacts to steeply sloped areas of the
property. This approach will mitigate the potential for instability compared to the pre-
development condition.
• Storm drainage facilities and elements have been designed to a) collect and convey
runoff to a detention vault, and b) discharge at a pre-developed rate within an existing
drainage pathway. This condition will decrease the potential for instability compared to
the pre-development condition.
• Grading activities will be designed, i.e. structural fill, placement methods, drainage,
foundation setbacks, etc. which will ensure the final configuration is as stable and
resistant to landslide activity as the pre-development condition.
• The proposal is consistent with surrounding developments which, to our knowledge,
have not been adversely impacted by landslide activity.
• Finally, the SlopeW analysis included in the referenced letter indicates a) no decrease in
critical factor-of-safety values from a post-construction condition, and b) acceptable
critical factor-of-safety* values from a global standpoint. -This analysis agrees with the
conditions encountered at the test pit locations.
* Critical factor-of-safety is defined herein as the lowest factor-of-safety calculated in the SlopeW analysis.

Closure
In our opinion, based on the above criteria and our understanding of the proposal, the project:
• will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting properties
beyond pre-development conditions; and
• The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
• The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
If you have any questions, or if additional information is required, please call.

Geotechnical Review Letter
Project TE130415A, dated October 31, 2013
Dear Mr. Waltier:
As requested, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this letter to address comments
provided in the referenced geotechnical review letter for the subject project. ESNW previously
prepared the referenced geotechnical engineering study and subsequent letters for the site and
has been providing ongoing geotechnical consulting services during the design phase of the
project.

AESI Comment 'I —Subsurface Gonditions
Review comment 1 discusses the geologic conditions which were described in published
geologic map resources and compares those to the subsurface conditions described in the
referenced report prepared by ESNW. The review comment suggests that the conditions
described in the referenced report do not adequately describe the stratigraphy of the subject
site.
Response
ESNW conducted subsurface explorations across accessible areas of the subject site during
preparation of the referenced report. We also reviewed readily available geologic map
resources to supplement the directly observed site conditions. While a full stratigraphic
exploration program was not completed for this site and the descending slope to the west, in
our opinion, the exploration program provides adequate information regarding the soil and
groundwater conditions which would most likely impact the proposed project. The soils
observed along the western portion of the site consisted of silt in a stiff to hard condition at
depth, while the soils across the remaining area of the site generally consisted of isolated areas
of outwash transitioning quickly to dense silty sand deposits. No groundwater was observed.
In this respect, while soil from differing depositional environments may be present, the relative
density and lack of groundwater supports a general description in. terms of engineering
properties. Furthermore, while there is the_presence of silt deposits near the western side of
the site, it is overlain by soils which have very low permeability characteristics to the east;
therefore, the risk of a slippage plane being present or developing is very low. The site
conditions which pose the greatest risk are related to controlling surface water flow and the
effects of erosion, which are addressed in the referenced report and reflected in the current
design, largely in the form of controlled stormwater management and engineered fill.
The proposed project includes construction of single-family residences, access roadways and
infrastructure improvements including a stormwater detention vault. It is acknowledged in the
referenced report that landslide and erosion hazards are on or adjacent to the subject site and
those conditions were discussed in the referenced report. A cross-section was developed:.

AESI Comment 2 and 3 — Landslide Hazard Analysis
Comments 2 and 3 relate to the descending steep slope, characterizing the potential landslide
hazard and providing setbacks from the proposed fill slopes.
Response
The grading plans have been modified to omit the rockery at the base of the fill slope and the
new slope height is 'lowered to about 15 feet. The current proposal addresses the comments
provided in items 2 and 3. With respect to the adequacy of the potential landslide analysis, a
slope stability analysis for existing and currently proposed finish grades is attached. The results..
of the stability analysis suggests that the proposed grading plan will not increase the, potential.

AESI-Comment 4— Foundation Setbacks
Review Comment 4 suggests the minimum foundation setback reference be the outside face of
the lowermost foundation element measured to the face of the finish grade at the permanent
slope.
Response
We agree with this reference and it should be included in the final approved plans.,
AESI Comment 5 — Fill Slope Height
The review comment indicates that creating a 2HAV slope over 15 feet in height 'creates' a
landslide hazard. The current plan proposal maintains permanent fill slope heights to less than
15 feet, therefore, this comment is adequately addressed.
AESI Comment 6 —SlopeW Analysis
The review comment suggests that inadequate input parameters were used or that the factors-
of-safety reported did not agree with the calculations for the slope stability modeling analysis.
Response
The attached slope stability analysis used strength parameters which reflect the soil conditions
present on the site, and are valid for this project. It is important to note that computer models
are a tool and part of the overall evaluation of a site and proposed project. When employing
such a tool to assess a project, we use professional judgment to evaluate the results. In this
respect, we filter factors-of-safety output to identify what we expect is most likely for a given site
and conditions. It is often the case that a critical failure surface which is generated from a
computer program may not agree with what we expect to see on a particular site. Therefore,
we choose a slip surface which most agrees with what we would expect to occur and present
the corresponding factor-of-safety in our report.
AESI Comment 7
This comment is addressed in the current proposal.
AESI Comment 8
This comment is addressed in the current proposal.
AESI Comment 9
Comment 9 relates to the IBC code year recognized for this project, which is the 2012 version;

Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-266Q.Gl.:
December 2, 2013 Page 4
Response
The 2012 IBC recognizes ASCE for seismic site class definitions. If the project will be permitted
under the 2012 IBC, in accordance with Table 20.3-1 of ASCE, Minimum Design Loads for
Buildings and Other Structures, Site Class C, should be used for design.

Subject: RE:Vuecrest in Renton
Good morning Elizabeth:
Thank you for the positive input. Your thoughtfulness has brightened this cold gray day and has put a positive
perspective on the start of the week for me.
The second sentence means that the conditions have-not been met and that they should demonstrate satisfaction of
each of the three conditions by providing the results of stability analyses for existing and proposed site conditions.
The changes indicated in red (see below) may clarify the intent. The sentence may have been clearer if it had been
written as follows:
The results of stability analyses which demonstrate satisfaction of each of the three conditions listed above are required
for both existing and proposed site conditions.
Text taken from report:
o The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting properties
beyond pre-development conditions;and(Ord.5675, 12-3-2012)
o The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas;and
o The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
The three conditions listed above have not been satisfied by the referenced reports. The results of
stability analyses before and after development demonstrating how the three conditions as listed abore
are satis�.ed as are -required.
Hope that helps!

EXHIBIT 22
1 .
Site and Project Description
Based on available information and the description provided in the February 25, 2013 ESNW
report, the 5.3 acre site consists of an undeveloped, wooded parcel located south of South 47"
Street at the intersection with Smithers Avenue South where it enters into the site in Renton,
Washington. Wetland tracts are mapped east and south portions of the site. Topography
across that portion of the site to be developed slopes generally toward the south and west.
Within the western portion of the site, a 2H:1 V (Horizontal:Vertical) (approximate) slope
descends in excess of 100 vertical feet toward the western property line; total slope height is
undetermined as topography presented on the referenced DRS Plan stops approximately
100 feet short of the west property line and does not show a toe of slope. A 3H:IV
(approximate) slope descends to the south approximately. 10 vertical feet toward a westerly
trending ravine within the southerly portion of the site. The February 25', 2013 ESNW report
indicates that a visual slope reconnaissance was conducted across portions of the steep slope
areas of the site and that no signs of recent, large scale erosion or slope instability were
observed and that "stability of the slope areas of the property can be characterized as good."
It appears that ESNW did not have a detailed site plan showing current proposed development
for preparation of the referenced February 25, 2013 report. The two subsequent reports
referenced above describe currently proposed development and present stability sections that
appear to be based on the referenced DRS Plan but do not list the specific reference.
Proposed development as shown on the referenced DRS Plan includes a 21-lot subdivision with
an estimated earthwork volume of approximately 3,300 cubic yards cut and 10,000 cubic yards
fill. Development is concentrated to the flatter portion of the site and will occupy
approximately the northeastern two-thirds of the property. Smithers Avenue is to be extended
south from 47' Avenue to the central portion of the site where the roadway will tarn east and
extend to the eastern property' line as SE 186 ' Place. A storm water vault is to be located
within the southwest portion of the development area. Lots 1 through 8 and the storm water
vault are situated along the top of the westerly descending 2H:IV slope. A 4-foot-high rockery
wall is proposed along the western edge of these lots and vault area. A 2H:IV fill slope will
extend from the wall to the pad grade. Excluding the height of the wall, the fill slope achieves
a maximum slope height of up to approximately 20 vertical feet. As planned, the structures on
Lots 1 through 8 will extend anywhere from a few feet to approximately 40 feet onto the
proposed fill slope. As proposed, the storm water vault will be discharged into the westerly
trending ravine within the southern portion of the site.
Subsurface Conditions
The referenced reports generally summarize subsurface conditions at the site as glacial till.
The February 25, 2013 report indicates that soil "terraces were observed down the steep slope
at the west side of the site which may correlate to the recessional stratified drift kame terrace
deposits, however, the proposed development will not extend to those locations." Test pit logs
presented.with the February 25, 2013 report indicate medium dense to dense, moist to wet
2
sand to a depth of 8 feet in TP-1 within the northeast portion of the site; medium stiff to hard,
moist to wet silt located along the top of the slope in TP-6 and TP-7, and between 2.5 and
8 feet below ground surface within TP-8 within the western portion of the site; and, medium
dense to very dense, generally moist, silty sand with variable gravel below the sand in TP-1,
below the silt in TP-8 and within TP-2 through TP-5 across the remainder of the site.
Review of the Geologic Map of King County, Booth, Troost, Wisher, May 2006, indicates that
recessional outwash and/or pre-Fraser, coarse grained non-glacial soils on the westerly
descending slope within the western portion of the site and glacial till within the central and
eastern portion of the site. An earlier publication titled: Geologic Map of the Renton
Quadrangle, King County, Washington by D.R. Mullineaux, U.S. Geological Survey,
Geologic Quadrangle Map GQ-405, Publication Date: 1965, Map Scale: 1:24,000 indicates
that the soils on the westerly descending slope within the western portion of the site consist of
undifferentiated quaternary deposits of glaciofluvial sand and gravel, glaciolacustrine clay and
sand, and non-glacial sand, clay and thin peat.
Ground water was reported at a depth of 6 feet within the sandy soil reported in TP-1; ground
water was not reported within the other test pits excavated at the site.
Comments
Based on our review, we have the following comments:
1. Our general impression is that subsurface conditions within all but the northeast portion
of the site were treated in the reports as a single homogeneous unit, when it appears
based on information presented on the referenced geologic maps, that site geology is
more complex. Given the importance of slope stability to the project and the potential
for geologic aspects of subsurface stratigraphy to play a major role in slope stability,
the geology cross section of the slope and associated engineering properties should be
defined in greater detail. A supplemental report should be prepared and should contain
a geologic map and geologic cross-section(s). The map and section(s) should show the
test pit locations, location and extent of geologic strata encountered, existing and
proposed grade, proposed retaining walls, proposed buildings and conceptual depths of
foundations. There may not currently be enough existing subsurface information to
determine the presence of potentially adversely oriented interbeds of silt or other plane
of weakness that could affect slope stability; additional, deeper subsurface exploration
borings may be necessary.
2. The Renton Municipal Code (RMC)4-3-050-B1c defines sensitive slopes as twenty five
percent (25%) to forty percent (40%) and protected slopes, forty percent (40%) or
greater. RMC 4-3-050-J1 defines "Geologic Hazards" and provides specific guidelines
for activities on or within 50 feet of sites with geologic hazards. The following
classifications for geologic hazards are taken directly from RMC 4-3-050-J1:
3
a. Steep Slopes:
i. Steep Slope Delineation Procedure: The boundaries of a regulated steep
sensitive or protected slope are determined to be in the location identified on
the City of Renton's Steep Slope Atlas. An applicant's qualified professional
may substitute boundaries independently derived from survey data for the
City's consideration in determining the boundaries of sensitive or protected
steep slopes. All topographic maps shall utilize two foot (2') contour intervals
or the standard utilized in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas.
ii. Steep Slope Types:
(a) Sensitive slopes.
(b) Protected slopes.
b. Landslide Hazards:
i. Low Landslide Hazard (LL):Areas with slopes less than fifteen percent (IS%).
ii. Medium Landslide Hazard (LM):Areas with slopes between fifteen percent
(1 S%) and forty percent (40%) and underlain by soils that consist largely of
sand, gravel or glacial till.
iii. High Landslide Hazards (LH):Areas with slopes greater than forty percent
(40%), and areas with slopes between fifteen percent (I5%) and forty percent
(40%) and underlain by soils consisting largely of silt and clay.
iv. Very High Landslide Hazards (LIQ:Areas of known mappable landslide
deposits.
c. Erosion Hazards:
i. Low Erosion Hazard (EL):Areas with soils characterized by the Natural
Resource Conservation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation Service) as
having slight or moderate erosion potential, and that slope less than fifteen
percent (IS%).
ii. High Erosion Hazard (EH):Areas with soils characterized by the Natural
Resource Conservation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation Service) as
having severe or very severe erosion potential, and that slope more steeply
than fifteen percent (15%).
As indicated earlier in this letter, current development plans include placement of a
4 foot wall on the face of the westerly descending slope within the western portion of
4
the site. The wall is to support the toe of a 2H:IV fill slope to create support pads for
the proposed residences and vault along the top of the slope. The residential structures
on.these pads will extend into the sloping area.
3. Based on the classifications presented above, the slope on which the retaining wall/fill
slope is to be founded is a regulated steep sensitive/protected slope (RMC 4-3-05041a)
with high erosion hazard (RMC 4-3-050-J1b(iii)), and high landslide hazards (RMC
4-3-050-J1c(ii)). Based on these designations, development is prohibited per RMC
4-3-05045a. In order for development to be allowed, RMC 4-3-05042 requires that a
study must demonstrate the following:
o The proposal will not increase the threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or
abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions; and (Ord. 5676,
12-3-2012)
o The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and
o The development can be safely accommodated on the site.
The three conditions listed above have not been satisfied by the referenced reports. The
results of testability analyses before and of er development demonstrating how the
three conditions as listed above are satisfied required. �ti c�-r� i M
II/ 1&l
4. Grading regulations outlined in RMC 4-4-060L require that a line be established from
which setbacks for structures and slopes is to be measured and a minimum setback for
each are presented. The report documents imply that the line from which setback is to
be measured is at the top of the existing westerly steep slope. Plans indicate that
residential footings will extend into the steeply sloping fill within the western portion of
the site. Based on the steepness of the slope (50 percent) a setback between the lowest
outside edge of footings to daylight in the adjacent slope face would be more
appropriate.
5. RMC 4-4-060 N6 indicates that creation of a permanent fill slope in excess of 15 feet
high at a 40 percent gradient would create a protected steep slope and would not be
allowed unless conditions of RMC 4-3-050 Ma(ii) are satisfied. As presented, the
stability analyses evaluate the potential for deep-seated instability of the slope under
both existing and proposed conditions. The analyses should also consider the stability
of the proposed fill slope/wall where slopes in excess of 15 feet are proposed (Lots 1,
-7, and 8). The conditions of RMC 4-3-050.J.2 a (i, ii, hi) as indicated in Comment 2
must be met.
6. The following Table presents a summary of factors of safety presented for existing and
proposed conditions anticipated at the site as presented in the April 10, 2013 and
July 15, 2013 reports. During our review of the analyses, several issues were noted
5
which require re-evaluation of various conditions and presentation of revised factors of
safety.

1. Slice thickness is less than 1 foot between toe of slope and exit point. Exit point should be re-evaluated and
modified.
2. Location of center/radius of failure circle shown on section does not agree with center/radius listed in calculation.
3. Missing results for slip circle center and slices-cannot evaluate results.
4. Value in parenthesis is presented on calculation sheets-does not agree with value indicated on section
5. Failure circle analyzed and results presented is inconsistent with results on section-entry/exit points for failure
circle indicate a relatively small portion of the slope.
6. The vault should be modeled as a surcharge rather than a region with strength parameters.
Stability analyses conducted on the westerly descending slope should be re-evaluated based
on understanding of subsurface conditions in the vicinity of the slope enhanced through
Comment 1, above.
7. ESNW indicates that rockeries will be used to "face" fill slopes. Rockeries may be used
to mitigate erosion of cut slopes where very dense native soil is exposed. Unreinforced
rockeries are not engineered structures and where in excess of 4 feet high (including
imbedment depth), should not be used in place of retaining walls.
8. As proposed storm water from the detention vault is to be directed toward the southerly
ravine and ultimately toward the westerly descending slope, ESNW has identified the soils
on the slope as "high erosion hazard".and should consider alternate recommendations to
prevent water from being directed over site slopes. Alternatively, the applicant should
demonstrate that flow from the outfall system will not cause erosive flows.
9. February 25, 2013 report indicates design in accordance with the 2006 International
Building Code (IBC). The City of Renton has adopted the 2012 IBC. Seismic design of
structures should be in conformance with the 2012 IBC including recommended seismic
surcharge on walls.

Geotechnical Engineering Study
ES-2660, dated February 2013
Dear Mr. Waltier:
As.requested, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this letter to address the setback
from the top of a slope. ESNW previously prepared the referenced geotechnical engineering
study for the site.
Site Conditions
The City of Renton Municipal Code defines steep slopes as follows:
• Sensitive Slopes: Areas with slopes between 25 percent and 40 percent.
• Protected Slopes: Areas with slopes greater than 40 percent.
Based on our observations and review of the referenced topographic survey, sensitive slopes
are present along the western and southern portions of the property, and protected slopes are
present along the western portion of the property.
The referenced geotechnical engineering study identifies soil conditions onsite to consist of
glacial till which is dense to very dense near the surface.

Proposed Development Adjacent to Slopes
We understand that the proposed development will incorporate a four foot maximum rockery as
well as a stormwater vault structure near the top of a slope at the west side of the subject
property. The rockery will be located adjacent to the top of the slope, and will be facing a 2:1
(h orizontal:vertical) partial fill slope above. Single family residences will be located with a 20
foot setback from the top of the natural slope and the proposed stormwater vault is to be
located with a 10 foot setback from the top of the natural slope near the southwest portion of
the subject property.
Slope Fill Placement
Grading activities required to achieve the design alignment will include a four foot rockery facing
a 2:1 partial fill slope. Portions of the 2:1 partial fill slope will be located within 20 feet of a
sensitive slope area. Placement of fill on slopes is acceptable provided the existing slope is
stripped and benched and a keyway is provided at the base. A typical slope fill placement
detail is provided as an attachment.
Opinion and Recommendations
Section 4-3-050-J-2 of The City of Renton Municipal Code requires that development within 50
feet of a sensitive or protected slope must demonstrate "i. [t]he proposal will not increase the
threat of the geologic hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development
conditions; ii. [t]he proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and iii. [t]he
development can be safely accommodated on the site". We performed a slope analysis of the
proposed development, utilizing soil condition data, visual slope reconnaissance information,
existing topography, and proposed topography and development. The results of the slope
analysis are provided as an attachment.
Based on the results of our slope analysis, and our understanding of the proposed
development, in our opinion, the proposed development is feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. In our opinion, the proposed development will not increase the threat of the
geologic hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions, will not
adversely impact other critical areas, and can be safely accommodated on the site.

Mr.Wright
One other item needs clarification. In your letter of April 10th, on page 2 you cite RMC 4-3-0501.2, specifically subsection
b)The required studies shall demonstrate the following review criteria can be met: "i)The proposal will not increase the
threat of the geological hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions." There are two
additional conditions that must be met,ii)The proposal will not adversely impact other critical areas; and iii)The
development can be safely accommodated on the site.
We would appreciate having the ESNW statement of assurance expanded to include the additional criteria.
Thank you.

Geotechnical Engineering Study
ES-2660, dated February 2013
Dear Mr. Waltier:
As requested, Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this letter to address the setback
from the top of a slope. ESNW previously prepared the referenced geotechnical engineering
study for the site.
Site Conditions
The City of Renton Municipal Code defines steep slopes as follows:
• Sensitive Slopes: Areas with slopes between 25 percent and 40 percent.
• Protected Slopes: Areas with slopes greater than 40 percent.
Based on our observations and review of the referenced topographic survey, sensitive slopes
are present along the western and southern portions of the property, and protected slopes are
present along the western portion of the property.
The referenced geotechnical engineering study identifies soil conditions onsite to consist of
glacial till which becomes dense to very dense near the surface.

Proposed Development Adjacent to Slopes
We understand that the proposed development will incorporate a three to four foot rockery as
well as a stormwater vault structure near the 'top of a slope at the west side of the subject
property. The rockery will be located adjacent to the top of the slope, and will be facing a 2:1
partial fill slope above. Single family residences will be located with a 20 foot setback from the
top of the natural slope. The proposed stormwater vault is to be located with a 10 foot setback
from the top of the natural slope near the southwest portion of the subject property.
Section 4-3-050-J-2 of The City of Renton Municipal Code requires that development within 50
feet of a sensitive or protected slope must demonstrate [t]he proposal will not increase the
threat of the geologic hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development
conditions". We performed a slope analysis of the proposed development, utilizing soil
condition data, visual slope reconnaissance information, existing topography, and proposed
topography and development.
Based on the results of our slope analysis, and our understanding of the proposed
development, in our opinion, the proposed development is feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. In our opinion, the proposed development will not increase the threat of the
geologic hazard to adjacent or abutting properties beyond pre-development conditions.
If you have any questions, or if additional information is required, please call.

Attention: Mr. Jamie Waltier
Dear Mr. Waltier:
Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) is pleased to present this report titled "Geotechnical
Engineering Study, Proposed Smithers Ave Residential Plat, 47XX Smithers Avenue South,
Renton, Washington 98055". This study has been prepared to address the feasibility of the
proposed development from a geotechnical standpoint. The proposed 19 residential lot
development is bordered to the west by a steep slope.
Based on the conditions observed during our fieldwork, the subject site is underlain primarily by
native soils consisting of medium dense to very dense glacial till. Groundwater seepage was
observed in one test pit at a depth of six to nine feet.
Based on the results of our study, the proposed development is feasible from a geotechnical
standpoint. The residential buildings and associated structures can be supported on a
conventional foundation system bearing on competent native soil or structural fill. Where loose
or unsuitable soil conditions are exposed at foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the
soils to the specifications of structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement with structural fill,
may be necessary.
This report provides recommendations for critical areas assessment, foundation design,
structural fill recommendations, and other geotechnical recommendations.
The opportunity to be of service to you is appreciated. If you have any questions regarding the
content of this geotechnical engineering study, please call.
Sincerely,

INTRODUCTION
General
This geotechnical engineering study was prepared for the proposed 19 lot residential
development on Smithers Avenue South, south of South 47th Street in Renton, Washington.
The purpose of this study was to prepare geotechnical recommendations for the proposed
development. To complete the scope of services detailed in our proposal PES-2660 dated
January 16, 2013, we performed the following:
• Subsurface exploration and characterization of soil and groundwater conditions by
way of test pits excavated on the accessible areas of the site;
• Laboratory testing of soil samples obtained during field exploration;
• Engineering analyses, and;
• Preparation of this report.
The following documents and/or resources were reviewed as part of our report preparation;
• Geologic Map of the Renton Quadrangle;
• Preliminary Site Plans Provided by the Client;
• The King County online GIS property research database;
• The City of Renton online GIS property research database, and;
• City of Renton Critical Areas Regulations (4-3-050J).

Proiect Description
Based on the plans provided to us, the site will be developed with 19 single family residential
lots with associated roadways and stormwater facilities. Based on the City of Renton GIS data,
sensitive slopes are located at the south and west portions of the site, with a protected slope at
the west portion of the site. Grading activities will include cuts and fills to establish the planned
building lots and access roadway alignments. Site improvements will also include underground
utility installations and construction of stormwater detention facilities. Based on the preliminary
site plans provided to us, we estimate cuts and fills to establish finish grades throughout the site
will be on the order of two to eight feet on average. Engineered rockeries or modular block
walls may also be utilized as part of the overall grading plan. A storm detention vault facility is
planned to be constructed at the south end of Smithers Avenue South as part of the proposed
development.
The proposed residential structures will consist of relatively lightly loaded wood framing
supported on conventional foundations. Based on our experience with similar developments,
we estimate wall loads on the order of 2 kips per linear foot and slab-on-grade loading of 150
pounds per square foot (psf).
If the above design assumptions are incorrect or change, ESNW should be contacted to review
the recommendations in this report. ESNW should review the final design to verify that our
geotechnical recommendations have been incorporated into the plans.
Surface
The subject site is located south of South 47th Street on Smithers Avenue South in Renton,
Washington, as illustrated on the Vicinity Map (Plate 1). The site is approximately square in
shape and consists of mostly undeveloped wooded land, with a paved temporary cul-de-sac at
the north end of the site. A wetland tract is mapped at the east and southeast portions of the
site. The topography of the site is slightly undulating with an overall ascending slope to the
east, with a steep descending slope at the west side of the site. The Test Pit Location Plan
(Plate 2) illustrates the approximate limits of the property and approximate existing topography.
Slope Reconnaissance
During our fieldwork, we performed a visual slope reconnaissance across portions of the steep
slope areas of the site. The main focus of our reconnaissance was to identify signs of instability
or erosion hazards along the site slopes. The typical instability indicators include such features
as; head scarps, tension cracks, hummocky terrain, groundwater seeps along the surface and
erosion features such as gulleys and rills. During the slope reconnaissance, no signs of recent,
large scale erosion or slope instability were observed. In general, based on the slope
reconnaissance, stability of the slope areas of the property can be characterized as good.

Subsurface
As part of the subsurface exploration, eight test pits were excavated on accessible portions of
the site for purpose of assessing the soil conditions. Please refer to the test pit logs provided in
Appendix A for a more detailed description of the subsurface conditions.
Topsoil was encountered to an average approximate depth of two to four inches. Underlying
the topsoil,medium dense brown silty sand with gravel was observed, transitioning to a dense
to very dense brown and/or gray silty sand with gravel at an average depth of two to six feet.
The referenced geologic map of the area identifies glacial till (Qgt) across the east portion of the
site with recessional stratified drift kame terrace deposits (Qit) of sand and gravel to the east
side of the property and possible undifferentiated deposits (Qu) to the north of the site.
The soil conditions observed at our test sites generally correlate with glacial till (Qgt). Soil
terraces were observed down the steep slope at the west side of the site which may correlate to
the recessional stratified drift kame terrace deposits, however, the proposed development will
not extend to those locations.
Groundwater
Groundwater seepage was encountered during our fieldwork at the test pit at the northeast
portion of the site (TP-1). The seepage was observed at six to nine feet and likely represents
perched groundwater. The presence of groundwater seepage should be expected in deeper
site excavations such as deeper foundation and utility trench excavations. Groundwater
seepage rates and elevations fluctuate depending on many factors, including precipitation
duration and intensity, the time of year, and soil conditions. In general, groundwater elevations
and flow rates are higher during the wetter, winter months.
CRITICAL AREAS AND GEOLOGIC HAZARDOUS AREAS ASSESSMENT
As part of this geotechnical engineering study and critical areas report, the City of Renton
Critical Areas Regulations (4-3-050J) were reviewed. Per the City of Renton Critical Areas
Regulations requirements, the following topics related to development plans and site conditions
are addressed.
Site and Construction Plans
The attached Test Pit Location Plan (Plate 2) illustrates the proposed building footprint area
and local site topography. Construction of a 19 residential lot development and associated
improvements is planned. The building pad elevations will vary according to existing grades.
We anticipate the maximum cuts for the proposed development will be on the order of six to
eight feet, or to the extent required to maintain the minimum allowable setback from the top of
the slope. The overall stability of the steep slope areas can be characterized as good.
Earth Solutions NW,LLC
Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-2660

Landslide Hazard
With respect to landslide hazard areas, Part 4-3-050J-lb of the City of Renton Critical Areas
Regulations defines landslide hazard areas as the following:.
• Low Landslide Hazard: Areas with slopes less than 15 percent.
• Medium Landslide Hazard: Areas with slopes between 15 percent and 40 percent and
underlain by soils that consist largely of sand, gravel or glacial till.
• High Landslide Hazards: Areas with slopes greater than 40 percent and areas with
slopes between 15 percent and 40 percent and underlain by soils consisting largely of
silt and clay.
• Very High Landslide Hazards: Areas of known mappable landslide deposits.
The natural slope at the west portion of the site exhibits high landslide hazard characteristics,
as demonstrated by the City of Renton GIS data, based on a greater than 40% slope condition.
However, it is generally underlain by glacial till, and the overall stability of the slope can be
characterized as good. As previously described in the Slope Reconnaissance section of this
study, typical indicators of instability such as head scarps, tension cracks, hummocky terrain,
groundwater seeps along the surface and erosion features such as gullet's and rills were not
observed.
Steep Slopes
With respect to steep slope critical areas, the referenced section of the Renton Code defines
steep slopes as follows:
• Sensitive Slopes: Areas with slopes between 25 percent and 40 percent.
• Protected Slopes: Areas with slopes greater than 40 percent.
Based on our observations and review of the referenced topographic survey, sensitive slopes
are present along the western and southern portions of the property, and protected slopes are
present along the western portion of the property. The overall stability of the slope areas can
be characterized as good.
Erosion Hazard
With respect to erosion hazard areas, the referenced section of the Renton Code defines
erosion hazards as follows:
Earth Solutions NW,LLC
Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-2660
February 25, 2013 Page 5
• Low Erosion Hazard: Areas with soils characterized by the Natural Resource
Conservation Service as having slight or moderate erosion potential, and that slope
less than 15 percent.
• High Erosion Hazard: Areas with soils characterized by the Natural Resource
Conservation Service as having severe or very severe erosion potential, and that
slope more steeply than 15 percent.
The sloped areas along the western margins of the site would be severely susceptible to
erosion, in our opinion. However, the sloped areas of the property will remain largely unaltered
and vegetated. In our opinion, the planned development will not increase the erosion hazard at
the site, provided appropriate Best Management Practices are implemented during the
earthwork and development activities. General guidelines for erosion control are provided in
the Site Preparation and Earthwork section of this study.
Analysis of Proposal
The planned development activity will involve grading and construction of a 19 residential lot
development with associated improvements adjacent to the steep slope area to the west. The
proposed development activity will include 9 single family residences to be located near the top
of steep slope areas located along the western portion of the property. As previously
described, the slopes exhibit good stability, and the planned development activity will not
involve alterations to the areas of 40 percent slope. The proposed development activity is
feasible in our opinion, and will not decrease stability of the site or surrounding properties. The
project designs must comply with the City of Renton Critical Areas Regulations.
Critical Areas Functions and Values
The geologic hazard critical areas associated with the subject property include potential
landslide, steep slopes and potential erosion. In our opinion, the impacts to the function and
value of the geologic hazard critical areas will be minimal. The scale of the project relative to
the critical area is such that negative impacts to the function and value of the landslide and
steep slope area will be negligible, in our opinion.
Minimum Critical Area Buffer and Setback
In our opinion, the proposed grading and development activity can be completed as currently
planned without adversely impacting the slope area. Sections 4-3-050J5 and 4-3-050J6 specify
the requirements for development on sites which contain protected and sensitive slopes. The
code requires erosion control measures, slope stabilization, and buffer zones. The proposed
nine residential structures to be located adjacent to the steep slope area will be setback at least
20 feet from the top of the slope. Given the overall stable characteristics of the slope area, it is
our opinion that the proposed 20 foot setback of the residential structures is feasible from a
geotechnical standpoint.

DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
General
Based on the results of our study, in our opinion, construction of the proposed residential
development at the subject site is feasible from a geotechnical standpoint. The primary
geotechnical considerations associated with the proposed development include the steep slope
buffer, foundation support, structural fill placement, and the suitability of the on-site soils for use
as structural fill.
The proposed structures can be supported on conventional spread and continuous foundations
bearing on undisturbed competent native soil or structural fill. Where loose, organic or other
unsuitable materials are encountered at or below the footing subgrade elevation, the material
should be removed and replaced with structural fill or crushed rock, as necessary.
This study has been prepared for the exclusive use of Geonerco Properties, LLC and their
representatives. No warranty, expressed or implied, is made. This study has been prepared in
a manner consistent with the level of care and skill ordinarily exercised by other members of the
profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area.
Site Preparation and Earthwork
Given the existing grades, grading for the new development will be moderate. Cuts and fills of
up to eight feet are anticipated. Once the existing vegetation and topsoil has been cleared,
grading operations can commence. Where possible the existing asphalt can be left in place to
act as a working surface.
Erosion Control
Temporary construction entrances and drive lanes, consisting of at least one foot of quarry
spalls can be considered in order to minimize off-site soil tracking and to provide a temporary
road surface. Temporary slopes and stockpiles should be covered when not in use. Surface
water should not be allowed to flow down the face of any natural or cut slope, nor should water
be allowed to pond near the top of any slope. Proper care and measures should be taken to
ensure that development does not adversely affect the natural slope areas. Erosion control
measures should conform to the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) and city of
Renton standards.
In-Situ Soils
From a geotechnical standpoint, the soils encountered at the test pit locations are generally
suitable for use as structural fill. However, successful use of the on-site soils will largely be
dictated by the moisture content of the soils at the time of placement and compaction. The site
soils were generally in a moist condition at the time of the exploration (February 2013). Soils
encountered during site excavations that are excessively over the optimum moisture content
will require moisture conditioning prior to placement and compaction.
Earth Solutions NW,LLC
Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-2660
February 25, 2013 Page 7
Based on the conditions encountered during our fieldwork, the site soils have a moderate to
high sensitivity to moisture. During periods of dry weather, the on-site soils should generally be
suitable for use as structural fill, provided the moisture content is at or near the optimum level at
the time of placement. Successful placement and compaction of the on-site soils during
periods of extended precipitation will be difficult. If the on-site soils cannot be successfully
compacted, the use of an imported soil may be necessary. Imported soil intended for use as
structural fill should consist of a well graded granular soil with a moisture content that is at or
near the optimum level. During wet weather conditions, imported soil intended for use as
structural fill should consist of a well graded granular soil with a fines content of five percent or
less defined as the percent passing the #200 sieve, based on the minus three-quarter inch
fraction.
Structural Fill
Structural fill is defined as compacted soil placed in foundation, slab-on-grade, and roadway
areas. Fills placed to construct permanent slopes and throughout retaining wall and utility
trench backfill areas are also considered structural fill. Soils placed in structural areas should
be placed in loose lifts of 12 inches or less and compacted to a relative compaction of 95
percent, based on the laboratory maximum dry density determined in accordance with the
Modified Proctor Method (ASTM D-1557).
Foundations
Based on the results of our study, the proposed buildings can be supported on conventional
spread and continuous footings bearing on competent native soil or structural fill. Where loose
or unsuitable soil conditions are observed at foundation subgrade elevations, compaction of the
soils to the specifications of structural fill, or overexcavation and replacement with granular
structural fill or crushed rock may be necessary.
Provided the building will be supported as described above, the following parameters can be
used for design of the new foundations:
• Allowable soil bearing capacity 3,000 psf
• Passive earth pressure 300 pcf(equivalent fluid)
• Coefficient of friction 0.40
A one-third increase in the allowable soil bearing capacity can assumed for short-term wind and
seismic loading conditions.
With structural loading as expected, total settlement in the range of one inch is anticipated, with
differential settlement of about one-half inch. The majority of the settlements should occur
during construction, as dead loads are applied.
Earth Solutions NW,LLC
Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-2660
February 25, 2013 Page 8
Seismic Considerations
The 2006 International Building Code (IBC) specifies several soil profiles that are used as a
basis for seismic design of structures. Based on the soil conditions observed at the site, Site
Class C from Table 1613.5.2 should be used for design.
In our opinion, the site is not susceptible to liquefaction. The soil relative density and the lack of
an established shallow groundwater table is the primary basis for this opinion.
Slab-On-Grade Floors
Slab-on-grade floors should be supported on a firm and unyielding subgrade consisting of
competent native soil or at least 12 inches of structural fill. Unstable or yielding areas of the
subgrade should be recompacted or overexcavated and replaced with suitable structural fill
prior to construction of the slab. A capillary break consisting of a minimum of four inches of free
draining crushed rock or gravel should be placed below the slab. The free draining material
should have a fines content of five percent or less (percent passing the #200 sieve, based on
the minus three-quarters inch fraction). In areas where slab moisture is undesirable, installation
of a vapor barrier below the slab should be considered. If used, the vapor barrier should
consist of a material specifically designed to function as a vapor barrier and should be installed
in accordance with the manufacturers specifications.
Retaining Walls
If retaining walls will be utilized, they should be designed to resist earth pressures and
applicable surcharge loads. For design, the following parameters can be used for retaining wall
design:
• Active earth pressure (yielding condition) 35 pcf
• At-rest earth pressure (restrained condition) 55 pcf
• Traffic surcharge (passenger vehicles) 70 psf (rectangular distribution)
• Passive earth pressure 300 pcf
• Coefficient of friction 0.40
Drainage should be provided behind retaining walls such that hydrostatic pressures do not
develop. If drainage is not provided, hydrostatic pressures should be included in the wall
design.
Retaining walls should be backfilled with free draining material that extends along the height of
the wall, and a distance of at least 18 inches behind the wall. The upper one foot of the wall
backfill can consist of a less permeable (surface sea]) soil, if desired. A perforated drain pipe
should be placed along the base of the wall, and should be connected to an approved
discharge location. Atypical retaining wall drainage detail is provided on Plate 3 of this report.
Earth Solutions NW,LLC
Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-2660
February 25, 2013 Page 9
Drainage
Groundwater seepage was observed at test pit location at a depth of six to nine feet below
grade during our fieldwork (February 2013). Perched groundwater seepage should be
expected in site or utility excavations. Temporary measures to control groundwater seepage
and surface water runoff during construction will likely involve interceptor trenches and sumps,
as necessary.
In our opinion, perimeter footing drains should be installed at or below the invert of the building
footings. A typical footing drain detail is provided on Plate 4 of this report.
Preliminary Infiltration Evaluation
As part of this geotechnical engineering study, the 2009 King County Surface Water Design
Manual (KCSWDM) was reviewed. The City of Renton recognizes an amended version of the
2009 KCSWDM as the governing code.
At test pit TP-1, near the proposed residential lots 17, 18 and 19, poorly graded sand was
observed to a depth of five feet where an increasing amount of gravel and silt was observed, as
detailed in Appendices A and B of this report. In our opinion, for preliminary design purposes,
an infiltration rate of four inches per hour may be achievable at these locations. ESNW can
perform in-situ infiltration analyses upon request if infiltration will be pursued.
Based on the soils observed throughout the remainder of the site, as discussed in the
Subsurface section of this report, adequate infiltration will not be achievable. Dispersion
methods per section C.2.4 of the KCSWDM may be utilized where slopes less than 15 percent
are present.
Utility Trench Backfill
In our opinion, the soils observed at the test sites are generally suitable for support of utilities.
In general, the soils observed at the test pit locations should be suitable for use as structural
backfill in the utility trench excavations, provided the soil is at or near the optimum moisture
content at the time of placement and compaction. Moisture conditioning of the soils may be
necessary at some locations prior to use as structural fill. Utility trench backfill should be placed
and compacted to the specifications of structural fill provided in this report, or to the applicable
requirements of the city of Renton.
Earth Solutions NW,LLC
Geonerco Properties, LLC ES-2660
February 25, 2013 Page 10
Pavement Sections
The performance of site pavements is largely related to the condition of the underlying
subgrade. To ensure adequate pavement performance, the subgrade should be in a firm and
unyielding condition when subjected to proofrolling with a loaded dump truck. Structural fill in
pavement areas should be compacted to the specifications detailed in the Site Preparation and
Earthwork section of this report. It is possible that soft, wet, or otherwise unsuitable subgrade
areas may still exist after base grading activities. Areas containing unsuitable or yielding
subgrade conditions may require remedial measures such as overexcavation and thicker
crushed rock or structural fill sections prior to pavement. Cement treatment of the subgrade soil
can also be considered for stabilizing pavement subgrade areas.
Heavier truck-traffic areas generally require thicker pavement sections depending on site
usage, pavement life expectancy, and site traffic. For preliminary design purposes, the
following pavement sections for heavy traffic areas can be considered:
• Three inches of hot mix asphalt (HMA) placed over six inches of crushed rock base
(CRB), or;
• Three inches of HMA placed over four and one-half inches of asphalt treated base
(ATB).
For relatively lightly loaded pavements subjected to automobiles and occasional truck traffic,
the following sections can be considered:
• Two inches of HMA placed over four inches of CRB, or;
• Two inches of HMA placed over three inches of ATB.
The HMA, ATB and CRB materials should conform to WSDOT specifications.
LIMITATIONS
The recommendations and conclusions provided in this geotechnical engineering study are
professional opinions consistent with the level of care and skill that is typical of other members
in the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in this area. A warranty is not
expressed or implied. Variations in the soil and groundwater conditions observed at the test pit
locations may exist, and may not become evident until construction. ESNW should reevaluate
the conclusions in this geotechnical engineering study if variations are encountered.
Addiflonal Services
ESNW should have an opportunity to review the final design with respect to the geotechnical
recommendations provided in this report. ESNW should also be retained to provide testing and
consultation services during construction.

APPENDIX A
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
ES-2660
The subsurface conditions at the site were explored by excavating eight test pits at the
approximate locations illustrated on Plate 2 of this report. The test pit logs are provided in this
Appendix. The subsurface explorations were completed in February 2013. The test pits were
advanced to a maximum depth of 12 feet below existing grades.
Logs of the test pits advanced by ESNW are presented in Appendix A. The final logs represent
the interpretations of the field logs and the results of laboratory analyses. The stratification
lines on the logs represent the approximate boundaries between soil types. In actuality, the
transitions may be more gradual.

2. Asterisk(*)following values in the table indicate that the total deflection under all loads is greater than 0360 but less
than U180.
3. Interpolation between values is acceptable.Do not extrapolate values into the blank spaces of the table.
4. These Span-Load Tables are intended as an aid to preliminary sizing.Sound engineering judgement is required for )
the application of this information to specific design cases.

GENERAL NOTES:
1.)A minimum cover depth of six inches OR a three inch thick cast in place concrete topping slab is required.
2.)Simple Span is centerline of bearing to centerline of bearing.
3.)The Knee Wall envelope represents the maximum span and height of soil cover that carr be supported by slabs
with standard notches for manhole openings,assuming void fill concrete fc=3,000 psi.Points flailing outside this
envelope require knee walls to support the slabs at manhole openings.
4.) Interpolation between strand contours is acceptable. DO NOT extrapolate beyond the bounds of this chart.
5.)Soil cover is assumed to be uniform.
6.)Except as noted, soil cover unit weight is assumed to be 120 pcf.
7.)Minimum span length=14'-0".
8.)The values shown on this chart are in compliance with IBC 2003&ACI 318-05.

SIMPLE SPAN (ft)
GENERAL NOTES:
1.)A minimum cover depth of six inches OR a three inch thick cast in place concrete topping slab is required.
2.)Simple Span is centerline of bearing to centerline of bearing.
3.)The Knee Wall envelope represents the maximum span and height of soil cover that can be supported by slabs
with standard notches for manhole openings,assuming void fill concrete f =3,000 psi. Points falling outside this
envelope require knee walls to support the slabs at manhole openings.
4.)Interpolation between strand contours is acceptable. DO NOT extrapolate beyond the bounds of this chart.
5.)Soil cover is assumed to be uniform.
6.)Except as noted,soil cover unit weight is assumed to be 120 pcf.
7.)Minimum span length=14'-0". r
8.)The values shown on this chart are in compliance with IBC 2003&ACI 318=05. ,.
9.)The Vent Notch envelope represents the maximum span and height of soil cover that can be supported by slabs
with 6'/z"standard notches in adjacent slabs to accommodate 12"diameter vents,assuming void fill concrete fc=
3,000 psi. Refer to Detail 3 on page 15 of this brochure for vent notch details.

Vault Detail Sheet
Dated ,June 19, 2014
Dear Jamie:
Earth Solutions NW, LLC (ESNW) has prepared this letter to provide an assessment regarding
the weight of the proposed stormwater vault and its effect on the adjacent slope.
Based on information provided by the project structural engineer (Mr. Dan Kosnik, P.E.), the
vault, when full and including 18 inches.of soil cover will weigh 1,500 pounds per square foot.
With a footprint of 5,900 square feet, the maximum weight of the vault will be 4,425 tons.
Based on information provided by the project civil engineer (Mr. Maher Joudi, P.E.), the volume .
of soil displaced by the vault will be 3,676 cubic yards or 99,250 cubic feet. Using an in-situ soil
unit weight of 120 pounds per cubic foot, the weight of soil displaced by the vault will be 5,955
tons. Therefore, even when the vault is full of water, it is 1,530 tons lighter than the soil it
replaced.
As currently designed, the setback from the top of the steep slope to the edge of the vault is 40
to 58 feet from the top of the steep slope. Given the setback from the slope and the fact that
the vault will weigh 1,530 tons less than the soil it replaces, the vault will increase the overall
stability of the slope RECEIVED

Re: Vuecrest Plat-City of Renton
Traffic Impact Analysis
Dear Mr. Waltier:
We are pleased to present this traffic impact analysis report for the proposed 21
lot Vuecrest Residential plat on Smithers Ave. S, south of S 47th St. in the City of Renton.
Proposed access to the site is to be provided by a street connection to S.47th Street
The scope of this analysis is based upon the preliminary plat site plan,
conversations with City of Renton staff and the City of Renton Policy Guidelines for
Traffic Impact Analysis for New Development.
Our summary, conclusions and recommendations begin on page 5 of this report.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 is a vicinity map showing the location of the site and study area.
Figure 2 shows the preliminary site plan.
The site access street connects to Smithers Ave. at the north side of the site. It
then runs to the south and curves to the east becoming 168th PI. which then is stubbed
to the east side of the site. The site access street will be constructed to City of Renton
standards with curb, gutter and sidewalk on both sides.
Development of the Vuecrest plat is expected to occur by the year 2015.
Therefore, for purposes of this study, 2015 is used as the horizon year.

Vuecrest Plat T� 'i1 ` ir
TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION
The 21 single-family units in the proposed Vuecrest Plat are expected to
generate the vehicular trips during an average weekday and during the street traffic
peak hours as shown below:
Trip Rate Trips Trips
Time Period Total
Trips per unit Entering Exiting
100 101
Average Weekday 9.57 201
50% 50%
4 12
AM Peak Hour 0.75 25% 75% 16
PM Peak Hour 1.01 613 37%
821
A vehicle trip is defined as a single or one direction vehicle movement with either
the origin or destination (exiting or entering) inside the study site.
The trip generation is calculated using the average trip rates in the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE)Trip Generation, Eighth Edition, for Single Family
Detached Housing (ITE Land Use Code 210). These trip generation values account for
all site trips made by all vehicles for all purposes, including resident, visitor, and service
and delivery vehicle trips.
Figure 3 shows the estimated trip distribution and the calculated site-generated
traffic volumes. The distribution is based on existing traffic volume patterns, the
characteristics of the road network, the location of likely trip origins and destinations
(employment, shopping, social and recreational opportunities), expected travel times,
and previous traffic studies.
EXISTING PHYSICAL CONDITIONS
Street Facilities
The streets in the study area are classified per the City of Renton
Comprehensive Plan as follows:
Smithers Ave. Local Access
102nd Ave. SE (Main Ave S) Local Access
SE 47'h St. Local Access
Page 2
Vuecrest Plat
Smithers Ave. SE, SE 47th St., and 102nd Ave SE (Main Ave. S) in the project
vicinity have a speed limit of 25 mph and consist of two lanes with curb gutter and
sidewalk on both sides of the street. The streets in the area are straight and flat yielding
excellent sight distance at the study intersections.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Traffic Volumes
Figure 4 shows existing, future without project and future with project PM peak
hour traffic volumes at the proposed Site Access St./156th Ave. SE and Site Access
St./158th Ave SE intersections. The City of Renton Policy Guidelines for Traffic Impact
Analysis for New Development requires an analysis of intersections impacted by 30 or
more project generated peak hour trips. The proposed project generates less than 30
PM peak hour trips and therefore no intersections meet this threshold. The SE 47th
St./102nd Ave SE and SE 48th Pl./102nd Ave SE intersections were analyzed
nonetheless, since they are the nearest intersections to the site and provide access to
the site. PM peak hour traffic counts were performed at these intersections on
Thursday, April 18, 2013 and are included in the Technical Appendix.
Level of Service Analysis
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions
within a traffic flow, and the perception of these conditions by drivers or passengers.
These conditions include factors such as speed, delay, travel time, freedom to
maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort, convenience, and safety. Levels of service are
given letter designations, from A to F; with LOS A representing the best operating
conditions (free flow, little delay) and LOS F the worst (congestion, long delays).
Generally, LOS A and B are high, LOS C and D are moderate and LOS E and F are
low.
Table 1 shows calculated level of service (LOS)for existing and future conditions
including project traffic at the pertinent street intersection. The LOS was calculated
using the procedures in the Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual
The LOS shown indicates overall intersection operation. At intersections, LOS is
determined by the calculated average control delay per vehicle. The LOS and
corresponding average control delay in seconds are as follows:
TYPE OF A B C D E F
INTERSECTION
<
Signalized 10 >10.0 and >20.0 and >35.0 and >55.0 and >80.
. <20.0 <35.0 <55.0 <80.0 0
Stop Sign Control �i >10 and <15 >15 and <25 >25 and <35 >35 and <50 >50
Page 3
Vuecrest Plat Bra `
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITHOUT THE PROJECT
Figure 4 shows projected 2015 PM peak hour traffic volumes without the project.
These volumes include the existing traffic volume counts plus background traffic growth.
The background growth factor accounts for traffic volumes generated from other
approved but unbuilt subdivisions and general growth in traffic traveling through the
area.
A 3% per year annual background growth rate was added for each year of the
two year time period (for a total of 6%)from the 2013 traffic count to the 2015 horizon
year of the proposal. The 3% per year growth rate should result in a conservative
analysis since the growth in traffic volumes has remained relatively flat the last several
years.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH PROJECT
Figure 4 shows the projected future 2015 PM peak hour traffic volumes with the
proposed project. The site-generated PM peak hour traffic volumes were added to the
projected future without project volumes to obtain the future with project volumes.
Table 1 shows calculated LOS for future with project volumes at the study
intersections. The study intersections are calculated to operate at an excellent LOS of
A for future 2015 conditions including project-generated traffic.
TRAFFIC MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS
The City of Renton requires a Transportation Mitigation Fee payment of$75 per
new daily trip attributed to new development. The net new daily trips due to this
development are 201 trips. The estimated Transportation Mitigation Impact Fee is
$15,075 (201 daily trips X$75 per daily trip).

Vuecrest Plat
SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We recommend that the Vuecrest Plat be constructed as shown on the site plan
with the following traffic impact mitigation measures:
• Construct the street improvements including curb, gutter and sidewalk to
the project site streets to City of Renton standard.
• Contribute the approximately$15,075 Transportation Mitigation fee to the
City of Renton.
No other traffic mitigation should be necessary. If you have any
questions, please call 425-522-4118. You may also contact us via e-mail at
