1.0 PROJECT OVERVIEW
The proposed Plat of Elliott Farms is an attached single-family residential project consisting of
45 lots, zoned R-14. The tax parcel number is 2223059004 and is 6.07 acres in size. The site is
located on the south side and adjacent to Maple Valley Hwy (WA-169) at the eastern terminus of
140th Way SE (Private Road) in the Molasses Creek Condominiums, in a portion of Section 22,
Township 23 North, Range 5 East, W.M., in the City of Renton. Please refer to the vicinity map in
the section.
The site is rectangular in shape with 691.70’ of frontage along Maple Valley Hwy (WA-169).
Condominium units, known as Molasses Creek Phase 1, is located on the west side of the project
that provides access into the project. A single family residential development, known as Pioneer
Place, is located to the east and a single family residence is located south. A wetland exists at the
southwest corner of the site with a 50’ buffer. This site is currently undeveloped, but contains
remnants from an existing farm, including partially buried building foundations and concrete slabs.
Existing on-site utilities were constructed along the northern portion of the site for this development.
On-site soils are mapped as Newberg (till soils). Please refer to the Soils Map in this section.
The subject property has been planned for development as a future phase of Cedarwood or
Molasses Creek Condominiums. Development of the Elliott Farms site was delayed by a prior King
County historical designation, then annexation into Renton, and finally by the economic downturn
that affected all property development. As such, a formal development application of the subject
Elliott Farms site has been delayed until now. What remains consistent is that the development of
the site was planned as a future phase of either Cedarwood or Molasses Creek Condominiums,
and the drainage systems for those projects accommodated the development of the subject Elliott
Farms site. The project has a Pre-Annexation Agreement between the City of Renton and Cedar
River Lightfoot, Inc, which is included in Section 7.0 of this TIR.
The proposed on-site road will utilize vertical curb and gutter with depressed curb and sidewalk at
driveway connections. The road will connect to the existing 140th Way S.E that was stubbed to the
property by Molasses Creek. The private alley will be extended into the site to provide private
access and circulation. An emergency access will be provided to WA-169. Frontage improvements
along WA-169 are required, including new asphalt, new curb and gutter, sidewalk, and planter strip.
The project is proposing to install a piped conveyance system along the frontage to convey the
runoff from WA-169 and a portion of the site to the existing ditch along Molasses creek frontage.
The on-site topography is generally flat. The southwest corner of the project gently slopes toward
the wetland. Please refer to Section 4.0 for a discussion on maintaining wetland hydrology. The
remaining portion of the site drains into the roadside ditch along WA-169. There is an existing
drainage ditch along the east side of the project that conveys off-site upstream flows from the
southeast. The elevations on the site range from 107 to 87. The project will be mass graded to
provide flat home sites for the future homes. It is expected that that site will import soils to provide
necessary cover over existing and future utilities.
Please refer to Section 6 containing special reports and studies including a Geotechnical Report,
Wetland report, and a Cultural Resources Assessment.
The drainage system for this project is required to meet the requirements of the 2009 King County
Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM), and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the
KCSWDM. Flow control is exempt for this project as the projects drainage flows to the Cedar River
which is listed as a receiving water in core requirement no. 3. The water quality facility (wetpond)
that was built with previous development was sized to accommodate the project. Please refer to
Section 4.0 for a more detailed summary.

2.0 CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
2.1 Analysis of the Core Requirements
Core Requirement No. 1: Discharge at the Natural Location.
Response: The project will be maintaining the natural discharge location for the site. The
runoff from the existing site drains to the existing drainage ditch along WA-169, where it is
conveyed westerly to the existing water quality drainage facility built my previous
development, then outfall to the Cedar River. The project will be discharging developed
drainage at two locations. A portion of the developed run-off will discharge to the existing
conveyance system in Molasses Creek, which also drains to the existing water quality
pond. The other portion of the site will discharge developed flows to the proposed
conveyance system along WA-169 which also drains to the existing water quality drainage
facility. Please refer to the Level 3 downstream drainage analysis in Section 3.0.
Core Requirement No. 2: Off-Site Analysis.
Response: An Off-Site Analysis has been performed pursuant to the 2009 KCSWDM.
See Section 3.0 for the Level 3 Off-Site Analysis.
Core Requirement No. 3: Flow Control.
Response: Flow control is exempt for this project. The project will be discharging flows to
the Cedar River, which is listed as a Major Receiving Water in the 2009 KCSWDM. The
project is less than on-half mile to the 100 year flood plain, therefor, the project can us the
direct discharge exemption identified in Section 1.2.3 in the 2009 KCSWDM and the 2010
City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM. See Section 4.0 for more information.
Core Requirement No. 4: Conveyance System.
Response: A 100 year conveyance capacity analysis of the existing pipe conveyance
system through Molasses Creek to the existing wetpond has been performed to show the
system has adequate capacity for the future predicted developed flows from Elliott Farms
and is included in Section 3. The remainder of the conveyance system will be designed in
accordance with the 2009 KCSWDM and the 2010 City of Renton Amendments to the
KCSWDM. A Conveyance and backwater analysis for the on-site pipes is provided in
Section 5.
Core Requirement No. 5: Erosion and Sediment Control.
Response: Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures will include stabilized
construction entrances, perimeter run-off control, cover practices, sedimentation facilities,
sediment pond and trap, and construction sequencing per the 2017 RSWDM and DOE
Guidelines. A sediment pond will be located at the northwest corner of the site and a
sediment trap will be provided at the northeast corner of the site. Please refer to section 8
and the construction plans for ESC measures.
Core Requirement No. 6: Maintenance and Operations.
Response: The majority of the new roadways and conveyance system will be privately
maintained. The existing water quality drainage facility is publically maintained by the City
of Renton; therefore, no operation and maintenance manuals is required for the drainage
facility. Please refer to Section 10.0.
21397.002-TIR.docx
Core Requirement No. 7: Financial Guarantees and Liability.
Response: A Financial Guarantee (bond) will be provide prior to the start of construction.

calculations.
2.2 Analysis of the Special Requirements
Special Requirement No. 1: Other Adopted Area-Specific Requirements.
Response: The proposed project is not located in a designated Critical Drainage Area.
Special Requirement No. 2: Flood Hazard Area Delineation.
Response: As indicated by the FEMA Map included in this report, the proposed site does
not lie within a floodplain or floodway of a stream, so this special requirement does not
apply.
Special Requirement No. 3: Flood Protection Facilities.
Response: This project does not rely on an existing flood protection facility or propose to
modify or construct a new flood protection facility, so this special requirement does not
apply.
Special Requirement No. 4: Source Control.

Project Manager: Clark H. Close, Senior Planner
Project Summary: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat, Hearing Examiner Site Plan Review, SEPA
Environmental Review, and a Street Modification for a 45-lot subdivision for the future
construction of attached two- and three-unit buildings. The 6.07-acre site is located
along SR-169 between 140th Way SE and 145th Ave SE within the Residential-14 zoning
district (APN 2223059004). The subdivision of 45 residential lots and 8 tracts would
result in a net density of 9.7 dwelling units per acre. The tracts include 47,911 sf of
critical areas, 60,731 sf of open space and 4,915 sf for alleys. The fee simple lots would
range in size from 2,217 sf to 3,939 sf with an average lot size of 2,586 sf. Primary access
to the development would be via a managed public road access from SR 169 that runs
through the development and connects to an existing private lane at Molasses Creek
Condominiums. Secondary access to the lots would be available through the existing
private lane to 140th Way SE and SR 169.
The undeveloped site contains high erosion hazards, landslide hazards and a Category II
wetland with a 50-foot buffer. The site is in the Cedar River drainage basin and outside
the 100-year floodplain limits. Stormwater would be conveyed to the existing water
quality pond located west of 140th Way SE. Soils primarily consist of Newburg Silt Loam
(Ng). Approximately 9,000 cubic yards of cut and 20,000 cubic yards of fill are
anticipated for the project. The site contains 114 significant trees. The project would
remove 31 trees within the development area and replant 120 trees. All 74 significant
trees in the wetland and buffer are proposed to be retained.

26. Comprehensive Plan Compliance: The site is designated Residential High Density (RHD) on the City’s
Comprehensive Plan Map. The purpose of the RHD designation is to allow a variety of unit types, with
continuity created through the application of design guidelines, the organization of roadways,
sidewalks, public spaces, and the placement of community gathering places and civic amenities. The
proposal is compliant with the following Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies if all conditions of
approval are met:
Compliance Comprehensive Plan Analysis
Objective LU-MM: Encourage the development of infill parcels with quality projects in
existing multi-family districts.
Policy LU-173. Residential Multi-family designations should be in areas of the City
where projects would be compatible with existing uses and where infrastructure is
adequate to handle impacts from higher density uses.
Policy LU-174. Land within the Residential Multi-family designation areas should be
used to meet multi-family housing needs. Residential Multi-family designations have
the highest priority for development or redevelopment with multi-family uses.
Policy LU-179. Residential Multi-Family (RMF) projects should include landscaped
open space common areas for residents, and other amenities compatible with existing
buildings on adjacent and abutting lots.
Policy CD-20: Orient site and building design primarily toward pedestrians through
master planning, building location, and design guidelines.
Policy CD-21: In areas developed with high intensity uses, circulation within the site
should be primarily pedestrian-oriented. Internal site circulation of vehicles should be
separated from pedestrians wherever feasible by dedicated walkways.

Policy CD-23: Development should have buildings oriented toward the street or a
common area rather than toward parking lots.
27. Zoning Development Standard Compliance: The purpose of the Residential-14 Zone (R-14) is to
encourage development, and redevelopment, of residential neighborhoods that provide a mix of
detached and attached dwelling structures organized and designed to combine characteristics of both
typical single family and small-scale multi-family developments. Structure size is intended to be limited
in terms of bulk and scale so that the various unit types allowed in the zone are compatible with one
another and can be integrated together into a quality neighborhood. Project features are encouraged,
such as yards for private use, common open spaces, and landscaped areas that enhance a
neighborhood and foster a sense of community. Civic and limited commercial uses may be allowed
when they support the purpose of the designation. The proposal is compliant with the following
development standards if all conditions of approval are met:
Compliance R-14 Zone Develop Standards and Analysis
Density: The density range permitted in the R-14 zone is a minimum 7.0 up to a
maximum of 14.0 dwelling units per net acre. Net density is calculated after the
deduction of sensitive areas, areas intended for public right-of-way, and private
access easements.
Staff Comment: After factoring in all density deductions (including proposed right-of-
way dedications for public streets) the site has a net square footage of 205,517
square feet or 4.6 net acres (264,409 sf – 62,892 sf = 205,517 sf). The 45-lot proposal
would arrive at a net density of 9.7 dwelling units per acre (45 lots / 4.6 acres = 9.7
du/ac), which falls within the permitted density range for the R-14 zone.
Lot Dimensions: The minimum lot size permitted in the R-14 zone is 3,000 sq. ft. for
detached dwellings. There is no minimum lot size for attached dwellings. A minimum
lot width of 30 feet is required (40 feet for corner lots) and a minimum lot depth of
60 feet is required.
The following table identifies the proposed approximate dimensions for Lots 1-45:

Landscaping: The City’s landscape regulations (RMC 4-4-070) require a 10-foot
landscape strip along all public street frontages. Additional minimum planting strip
widths between the curb and sidewalk are established according to the street
development standards of RMC 4-6-060. Street trees and, at a minimum,
groundcover, are to be located in this area when present. Spacing standards shall be
as stipulated by the Department of Community and Economic Development,
provided there shall be a minimum of one street tree planted per address. Any
additional undeveloped right-of-way areas shall be landscaped unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator. Where there is insufficient right-of-way space or
no public frontage, street trees are required in the front yard subject to approval of
the Administrator. A minimum of two trees are to be located in the front yard prior
to final inspection for the new Single Family Residence.
A fifteen-foot (15') wide partially sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, or ten-
foot (10') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier, is required along
common property lines when a Residential Multi-family Zone or Use Is Abutting a
Less Intense Residential Zone (RMC 4-4-070F.4).
Staff Comment: As proposed, the conceptual landscape plan does not include the
required 10-foot wide landscaping along all street frontages according, to the
Preliminary Plat and Planting Plan (Exhibit 39). The applicant would be required to
include the required 10-foot wide landscaping along all street frontages, according to
code. A detailed landscaping plan, complying with RMC 4-4-070, would be required to
be submitted to, and approved by, the Current Planning Project Manager prior to
issuance of the street and utility construction permits. A 10-foot landscape frontage
is not required along the frontage of the public alley.
The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscape plan (Exhibits 9 and 39) that
includes a ten-foot (10') wide fully sight-obscuring landscaped visual barrier between
the R-14 subject property and the abutting R-8 parcel to the south. The sight-
obscuring barrier includes the following cross-section: a 6 foot (6’) high fence along
the shared property line, landscaping abutting the fence, a maximum 4 foot (4’) high
retaining wall, followed by additional landscaping in front of the wall. The proposed
landscape plan, along Road A, also includes a 0.5-foot wide curb, an 8-foot wide
planting strip, and a 5-foot wide sidewalk along approximately half of the proposed
public street. A final detailed landscape plan would be reviewed for compliance with
RMC prior to issuance of the street and utility construction permit issuance.

landscaping and open space amenities prior to plat recording. A final detailed
landscape plan shall be submitted with the street and utility construction permits.
The applicant is proposing 60,731 square feet of open space within four (4) tracts
(Tracts A, D, F and G) throughout the subject property. All 74 significant trees in the
wetland and buffer are proposed to be retained. As a condition of approval, the
applicant shall create a Home Owners Association (“HOA”) that retains or improves
the existing vegetation within the open space tracts. A draft HOA document has been
submitted as part of the application (Exhibit 41). A final HOA shall be submitted to,
and approved by, the City of Renton Current Project Manager and the City Attorney
prior to Final Plat recording. Such documents shall be recorded concurrently with the
Final Plat.

Tree Retention: The City’s adopted Tree Retention and Land Clearing Regulations
require the retention of 20 percent of trees in a residential development.
Significant trees shall be retained in the following priority order:
Priority One: Landmark trees; significant trees that form a continuous canopy;
significant trees on slopes greater than twenty percent (20%); Significant trees
adjacent to critical areas and their associated buffers; and Significant trees over sixty
feet (60') in height or greater than eighteen inches ( 18") caliper.
Priority Two: Healthy tree groupings whose associated undergrowth can be
preserved; Other significant native evergreen or deciduous trees; and Other
significant non- native trees.
Priority Three: Alders and cottonwoods shall be retained when all other trees have
been evaluated for retention and are not able to be retained, unless the alders and/
or cottonwoods are used as part of an approved enhancement project within a
critical area or its buffer.
A minimum tree density shall be maintained on each residentially zoned lot. Lots
developed with detached single family dwelling units in the R-14 zone are exempt
from the minimum tree density requirements. For multi-family development, the
minimum tree density is four (4) significant trees for every five thousand (5,000)
square feet. The tree density may consist of existing trees, replacement trees, trees
required pursuant to RMC 4-4-070F.1, Street Frontage Landscaping Required, or a
combination.
Staff Comment: The property is covered with a variety of trees. Several larger trees
are located around the former residences at the southwest portion of the project site,
including cedar, conifer, pine, spruce and alder trees (Exhibit 8). The Arborist Report
identified 114 significant trees (125 including eleven 6-inch alders/cottonwoods) on
the parcel proposed to be developed (Exhibit 14). Six (6) were classified as poor or
dangerous, three (3) were located within private access easements/tracts, and 74
were located in critical areas and buffers. The net number of healthy trees for this
development was determined to be 31. The average size of the trunk at diameter at
breast height (DBH) for the surveyed trees is 14 inches (14") with the largest tree, a
bigleaf maple at 60" DBH, located southwest corner of the lot in the Category II
wetland (Tract H). The minimum tree retention requirement is thirty percent (20%) in

the R-14 zone. After street and critical area deductions, the applicant is proposing to
retain zero of the potential 31 healthy trees or none of the required 6 trees.
The applicant is proposing to replant the subdivision with 120 new trees. These
proposed onsite replacement trees exceed the minimum required replacement inches,
12 inches (12") for every tree that was unable to be retained, or 74 inches (74") for
this project. Where there is insufficient ROW space or no public frontage, street trees
are required in the front yard(s).
A minimum tree density shall be maintained on each R-14 zoned lot. For multi-family
development (attached dwelling units), the minimum tree density is four (4)
significant trees for every five thousand (5,000) square feet. The tree density may
consist of existing trees, replacement trees, trees required pursuant to RMC 4-4-
070F.1, Street Frontage Landscaping Required, or a combination. Compliance with
tree density development standard would be would be reviewed by planning at the
time of building permit review. A final tree retention and detailed landscape plan
shall be submitted with the street and utility construction permits.
Parking: Parking regulations require that a minimum of two (2) parking spaces be
provided for each detached dwelling. Parking regulations require that a minimum

spaces per 2 bedroom dwelling unit; and 1.0 space per 1 bedroom or studio dwelling
unit.
Driveway cuts are required to be a minimum of 5 feet from property lines and new
driveways may be a maximum of 16 feet in width at the property line. Maximum
driveway slopes shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%); provided, that driveways
exceeding eight percent (8%) shall provide slotted drains at the lower end with
positive drainage discharge to restrict runoff from entering the garage/residence or
crossing any public sidewalk.
Staff Comment: Sufficient area exists, on each lot, to accommodate off-street
vehicular parking. This is typically achieved by providing a two (2) car garage for each
building (Exhibit 40). Each of the three (3) building options includes a 3 bedroom floor
plan with up to two (2) garage parking stall per unit which, if rounded up, is
compliant with RMC 4-4-080F.d. Compliance with individual driveway requirements
would be reviewed at the time of building permit review.
Fences and Retaining Walls: In any residential district, the maximum height of any
fence, hedge or retaining wall shall be seventy two inches (72"). Except in the front
yard and side yard along a street setback where the fence shall not exceed forty
eight inches (48") in height.
There shall be a minimum three-foot (3') landscaped setback at the base of retaining
walls abutting public rights-of-way.
Staff Comment: The applicant is proposing a modular block wall with a maximum
height of four foot (4’). The retaining walls would be constructed near the south and
east property lines within the subdivision. Specifically, within the rear yards of Lots
20-32. The retaining walls have been setback a minimum of 3 feet (3') from the public
right-of-way following dedication. The applicant may terrace the rear yards in order
to comply with the maximum height requirements for fences, hedges and/or
retaining walls. Terracing is the act of forming hillside into a number of level flat
areas (terraces) between retaining walls. No portion of a retaining wall shall be
measured as part of the terrace width. The width of a terrace shall be equal to the

shall be two feet (2') and the maximum required width shall be five feet (5'). Terrace
width shall be measured from the back edge of a lower retaining wall to the foremost
edge of the immediately succeeding and higher retaining wall. Terraces created
between retaining walls shall be permanently landscaped with a mixture of shrubs
and groundcover (trees are optional) in conformance with the standards of RMC 4-4-
070C.2.e, Landscaping. Landscaping provided in front of retaining walls and within
terraces shall contribute to any landscaping required by RMC 4-4-070F.
The applicant is proposing terracing behind Lots 24-28, within the required 10-foot
wide fully sight obscuring landscape visual barrier, that is compliant with retaining
wall height standards of the code. Details of the terracing landscape plan shall be
included in the final detailed landscape plan required to be submitted with the

No new noise walls are planned by WSDOT along the project street frontage of SR
169 (Exhibit 33). The only noise walls WSDOT has “planned” in the generally vicinity is
approximately 1 mile east of the site on the north side of SR 169. This project is
currently un-funded with no real time-frame for completion.
28. Design Standards: Residential Design and Open Space Standards (RMC 4-2-115) are applicable in the
R-14 zone. The Standards implement policies established in the Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. Compliance with Site Design Standards must be demonstrated prior to approval
of the subdivision. Compliance with Residential Design Standards would be verified prior to issuance of
the building permit for the new single family homes. The proposal is consistent with the following
design standards, unless noted otherwise:
Lot Configuration: Developments of more than four (4) structures shall incorporate
a variety of home sizes, lot sizes, and unit clusters.
Dwellings shall be arranged to ensure privacy so that side yards abut other side
yards (or rights-of-way) and do not abut front or back yards.
Lots accessed by easements or pipestems shall be prohibited.
Staff Comment: The proposal includes three different elevation variations based on
the two- and three-unit buildings. Several of units have been oriented to the open
space tracts so that side yards abut other side yards (or rights-of-way) and do not
abut front or back yards. The scope of the project includes a lot configuration that
mimics the adjacent condominium development in appearance. None of the lots
would be accessed by easement and or pipestem.

personal vehicle access or to meet off-street parking requirements.
8. Storm ponds may be used to meet the common open space requirement if
designed to accommodate a fifty (50) year storm and to be dry ninety
percent (90%) of the year.
Staff Comment: The development includes 2.5 acres of common open space or
nearly 7 times the minimum three hundred fifty (350) square feet of common open
space. The common open space includes walking trails, picnic benches and pocket
areas for residents. Because the open space is located throughout the development
it is highly visible and is easily accessible to the neighborhood. However, the open
space is lacking recreational activities for all age groups and lighting for public
safety. Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that the applicant
incorporate into the landscaping plan a minimum of two (2) active play structures or
courts that provide opportunities for physical exercise and social interaction and low
level trail lighting. The details of these amenities shall be identified on the final
landscaping plan and shall be submitted to the City of Renton Project Manager with
the street and utility construction permits.
Standards for Private Yards:
Developments of four (4) or more dwelling units: Each ground-related dwelling
shall have a private yard that is at least two hundred fifty (250) square feet in size
with no dimension less than eight feet (8') in width.
An additional two hundred fifty (250) square feet of open space per unit shall be
added to the required amount of common open space for each unit that is not
ground related.
Staff Comment: Each two-story ground unit is located on a fee simple lot that has a
private yard that is two hundred fifty (250) square feet in size or greater with no
dimension less than eight feet (8') in width.

Sidewalks, Pathways, and Pedestrian Easements: All of the following are required:
1. Sidewalks shall be provided throughout the neighborhood. The sidewalk
may disconnect from the road, provided it continues in a logical route
throughout the development.
2. Front yards shall have entry walks that are a minimum width of three feet
(3') and a maximum width of four feet (4').
3. Pathways shall be used to connect common parks, green areas, and pocket
parks to residential access streets, limited residential access streets, or
other pedestrian connections. They may be used to provide access to
homes and common open space. They shall be a minimum three feet (3') in
width and made of paved asphalt, concrete, or porous material such as:
porous paving stones, crushed gravel with soil stabilizers, or paving blocks
with planted joints. Sidewalks or pathways for parks and green spaces shall
be located at the edge of the common space to allow a larger usable green
and easy access to homes.
4. Pedestrian Easement Plantings: Shall be planted with plants and trees.
Trees are required along all pedestrian easements to provide shade and
spaced twenty feet (20') on center. Shrubs shall be planted in at least

fifteen percent (15%) of the easement and shall be spaced no further than
thirty six inches (36") on center.
5. For all homes that do not front on a residential access street, limited
residential access street, a park, or a common green: Pedestrian entry
easements that are at least fifteen feet (15') wide plus a five-foot (5')
sidewalk shall be provided.
Staff Comment: Pedestrian sidewalks and pedestrian connections are located
throughout the subject property and would provide for safe and efficient pedestrian
access throughout the site. In portions of the development, sidewalks have been
disconnected from the road. Logical pedestrian connections are provided from SR
169 and Molasses Creek Condominiums to Road A. The applicant has included a
primary 5-foot wide sidewalk along the north side of Road A and a 7-foot wide
crushed rock trail throughout the open space tracts. Each portion of the trail that is
directly connected to the SR 169 would be required to be paved in order to meet
ADA standards. Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that The
proposed on-site seven-foot wide trail system shall be paved with concrete, except
the trail system located directly behind the rear yards of Lots 34-45. The final
detailed trail system and profile plans shall be submitted to the City of Renton
Project Manager with the street and utility construction permits.
The sidewalk and trail systems would be used to connect buildings to common open
space, on-street parking, neighboring properties, and the public right-of-way
(Exhibits 2, 5, 9, and 39). The front yards of Lots 1-13 abut common open space.
Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of approval, shall orient the front doors
and front yards of the attached dwelling units on Lots 1-13 toward the street (Road
A) or the common open space tracts. Each of these units shall provide a four foot (4’)
entry walkway that connects the front entry to shared common green space trail or
sidewalk system. A note to this effect shall be recorded on the face of the Plat map.
Each of these units shall be designed to the highest level of architectural detailing
and articulation.
Sidewalks or pathways for parks and green spaces shall be located at the edge of
the common space to allow a larger usable green and easy access to homes.
Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of approval, that the applicant relocate
the shared common green space trail system, which runs north/south between Lots
3-18, to be located closer to the front yards of Lots 5-13 to provide more usable
green space behind the lots.
Lots 24-26 front Tract E (alley 1), therefore, the homes do not front on a residential
access street, limited residential access street, a park, or a common green area.
Therefore, a pedestrian entry easement that is at least fifteen feet (15') wide plus a
five-foot (5') sidewalk shall be provided. A plat revision that is consistent with this
code regulation shall be submitted to the City of Renton Project Manager with the
street and utility construction permits. It appears that the applicant could shift Lots
19-23 approximately five feet (5’) to the north and incorporate a flush concrete
sidewalk with the alley (alley 1) to comply with the pedestrian entry easement and
sidewalk requirement of the code. Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of
approval, that the applicant submit a revised plat plan that includes a pedestrian
entry easement that is at least fifteen feet (15') wide plus a five-foot (5') sidewalk to
the north of Lots 24-26.
Primary Entry: Both of the following are required:

a. Stoop: minimum size four feet by six feet (4' x 6') and minimum height
twelve inches (12") above grade, or
b. Porch: minimum five feet (5') deep and minimum height twelve inches
(12") above grade.
Exception: in cases where accessibility (ADA) is a priority, an accessible route may
be taken from a front driveway.
Staff Comment: Lots 1-13 all take access from the alley tracts via Road A. The
current design of the 13 lots provides the lot width along the alley and the depth
parallel to Road A. This type of lot design could result in a development pattern
where each of these four (4) units are oriented towards the alley and not the public
street (Road A) or the common open space. An orientation towards the alley would
not be consistent with building design orientation toward pedestrians or the street
(see Comprehensive Plan Policy CD-20 and CD-23). Therefore, staff recommends as a
condition of approval, that the applicant shall orient the front doors of the units on
Lots 1-13 toward the street (Road A) or the common open space tracts; in order to
meet minimum primary entry standards of Residential Design and Open Space
Standards (RMC 4-2-115). A note to this effect shall be recorded on the face of the
Plat map. Each of these units shall be designed to the highest level of architectural
detailing and articulation.
Furthermore, to ensure compatibility with the remainder of the subdivision the
façade modulation of these homes fronting Road A shall be designed to the highest
level of architectural detailing and articulation. Including at least one articulation or
change in plane of at least two feet (2’) in depth. The building designs shall be
reviewed and approved at the time of building permit application.

Dumpster/Trash/Recycling Collection Area: Both of the following are required:
1. Trash and recycling containers shall be located so that they have minimal
impact on residents and their neighbors and so that they are not visible to
the general public; and
2. A screened enclosure in which to keep containers shall be provided or
garages shall be built with adequate space to keep containers. Screened
enclosures shall not be located within front yards.
Staff Comment: Because the applicant has not identified refuse and recyclables
deposit areas, it is anticipated that individual trash and recycling cans would be
used for each unit. The applicant may submit a formal request for modification to
staff for consideration to deviate from refuse and recyclables standards.
29. Critical Areas: Project sites which contain critical areas are required to comply with the Critical Areas
Regulations (RMC 4-3-050). The proposal is consistent with the Critical Areas Regulations, if all
conditions of approval are complied with:
Geologically Hazardous Areas: Based upon the results of a geotechnical report,
conditions of approval for developments may include buffers and/or setbacks from
buffers.
A 50-foot buffer and 15-foot building setback are required from Very High Landslide
Hazard Areas.
Staff Comment: The Geotechnical Engineering Study identified the majority of the site
as low landslide hazard (LL), defined as areas with slopes less than 15 percent. A 10-
to 20-foot wide centrally-located slope aligned northwest-southeast across the site
was classified as medium landslide hazard (LM) area. LM is defined as areas with
slopes between 15 percent and 40 percent and underlain by soils that consist largely
of sand, gravel, or glacial till. The geotechnical engineer did not observe any
indications of instability, emergent groundwater seepage, significant erosion, or
historical movement on or adjacent to the site in areas where soils would classify as
LM. No development activity is planned in the area of the steep slope in the southwest
corner of the site. Development plans would remove or regrade the centrally-located

slope during mass regrading. The geotechnical engineer concluded that the areas to
be developed on the site do not pose a risk as a landslide hazard area.
N/A
Streams: The following buffer requirements are applicable to streams in accordance
with RMC 4-3-050G.2: Type F streams require a 115-foot buffer, Type Np streams
require a 75-foot buffer, and Type Ns streams require a 50-foot buffer. An additional
15-foot building setback is required from the edge of all stream buffer areas.
Staff Comment: No streams were identified in the Critical Areas Report submitted by
the applicant and prepared by Raedeke Associates, Inc. (Exhibit 11).
N/A

Wetlands: The following buffer requirements are applicable to wetlands in
accordance with RMC 4-3-050M.6:
Wetland Category Standard Buffer Width
Category 1 100 ft.
Category 2 50 ft.
Category 3 25 ft.
Staff Comment: A Critical Area Report was prepared by Raedeke Associates, Inc.
(dated December 15, 2014; Exhibit 11) was submitted with the application materials.
According to the report, there is a Category II wetland located in the southwest
portion of the property. Under the vested City of Renton code, Category II wetlands
must provide a standard buffer width of 50 feet. The wetland is a low-lying forested
area in the southwest portion of the site. No other wetlands or critical areas were
identified within the remaining portion of the property.
The applicant is also providing a minimum 15-foot wide common areas tract,
immediately north of the wetland buffer (Tract F), in order to provide additional
separation between the wetland buffer and the proposed rear lots of Lots 34-45.
Based on the provided site plan, there would be minimal impacts to the wetland and
its buffer. As part of the SEPA process, a mitigation measure was included that would
require the applicant to remove the existing concrete foundation(s) within the wetland
buffer and restore the affected areas by planting trees and shrubs within the 50-foot
standard wetland buffer by hand and without heavy machinery.
30. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: Chapter 4-7 RMC provides review criteria for the
subdivision. The proposal is consistent with the following subdivision regulations if all conditions of
approval are complied with:
Compliance Subdivision Regulations and Analysis
Access: Each lot must have access to a public street or road. Access may be by a
shared driveway per the requirements of the street standards.
The maximum width of single loaded garage driveways shall not exceed nine feet (9')
and double loaded garage driveways shall not exceed sixteen feet (16').
Staff Comment: Each lot would have access to a public street, road, or alley as shown
in the Preliminary Plat Plans (Exhibits 2 and 39). A new public street (Road A) would

provide direct access to SR 169.
Blocks: Blocks shall be deep enough to allow two tiers of lots.
Staff Comment: SR 169 to the north and critical area Tract H along the southwest
corner of the parcel limit the depth of the subject site and the applicant’s ability to
provide two tier lots. The final layout of the lots reserved the development pattern
created in Molasses Creek Condominiums with homes oriented to open space.
Lots: The size, shape, orientation, and arrangement of the proposed lots comply with
the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations and the Development Standards of
the R-14 zone and allow for reasonable infill of developable land. Width between side
lot lines at their foremost points (i.e., the points where the side lot lines intersect with
the street right-of-way line) shall not be less than eighty percent (80%) of the required
lot width except in the cases of (1) pipestem lots, which shall have a minimum width of
twenty feet (20') and (2) lots on a street curve or the turning circle of cul-de-sac (radial
lots), which shall be a minimum of thirty five feet (35').
Staff Comment: The lots are generally rectangular in shape with orientation for the
maximization of views to open space. The minimum lot width in the R-14 zone is 30
feet, 80% of the lot width would be 24 feet. A majority of the lots provide a minimum
frontage of 24 feet. Except for Lots 11-13 and Lot 33. Lots along street curves shall
comply with the minimum standard of 24 feet as 35 feet would be wider than the
minimum lot width for the zone. Therefore, staff recommends, as a condition of
approval, that the applicant provide for the minimum standard of 24 feet (24’) along
street curves. A final detailed site plan shall be submitted to, and approved by, the
Current Planning Project Manager and the Plan Reviewer prior to construction permit
approval.
Compliant if
modification
request is
approved
Streets: The proposed street system shall extend and create connections between
existing streets per the Street Standards outlined in RMC 4-6-060 Street Standards.
Staff Comment: The proposed development fronts Maple Valley Hwy (SR 169) along
the north property line. SR 169 is classified as a Principal Arterial Road and is a
Washington State Highway. Primary access to the site would be provided via a new
channelized public road access from SR 169 that runs through the development and
connects to an existing private lane at Molasses Creek Condominiums. A street
channelization plan has been reviewed and approved by Washington State Department
of Transportation (WSDOT) (Exhibit 38). Adequate sight distance and frontage
improvements along SR 169 would be subject to design review and approval by
WSDOT. The City defers to American Association of State Highway and Transportation
Officials (AASHTO) standard clear zones, which provide the same, or similar, clear zone
requirements as WSDOT. This may include dedication of right-of-way (ROW) for future
planned widening of SR 169 to accommodate six (6) 12-foot wide travel lanes and 8-
foot wide shoulders. If curbs are used, shoulder width may be reduced to 4 feet.
Existing ROW width is approximately 150 feet. Per City code 4-6-060, half-street
improvements shall include a pavement width of 88 feet (44 feet from centerline), a 0.5
foot curb, an 8 foot planting strip, an 8 foot sidewalk, street trees and storm drainage
improvements. However, the City’s transportation group has determined and would
support an alternate standard to match the established standard street section for SR
169. The City is supportive of the developer’s request to retain the existing curb line,
followed by a 6-foot wide planting strips and 5-foot wide sidewalks behind the existing
curb along the project frontage of SR 169. The applicant may submit a formal request
for modification to staff for consideration to deviate from the frontage improvements

and dedication of right-of-way along SR 169.
Secondary access to the lots would be available through the existing private lane to
140th Way SE and SR 169 (Exhibit 2). The subject property has easement rights to use
the existing private road through Molasses Creek Condominiums (Exhibit 19). The
preliminary road plans and profiles and onsite grading plan identify the existing and
proposed grading and road improvements to serve the proposed 45 units (Exhibit 5).
The applicant is requesting a modification from RMC 4-6-060F.2 “Minimum Design
Standards Table for Public Streets and Alleys” that would modify the residential access
road standard by disconnecting the majority of the public sidewalks and planter strips
from the road, away from vehicular travel ways, into open space tracts throughout the
development. The modified street standard includes ROW dedication between 35 feet
and 53 feet along Road A. The majority of the street improvements include a paved
roadway width of 20 feet with 5-foot wide sidewalks and 8-foot wide planter strips
along one side of the roadway. Sidewalks and planter strips alternate between the
north side of the roadway and the south side of the roadway in order to provide
pedestrian access to the pathways used to connect common areas. In addition,
portions of the paved road sections also include up to seven (7) on-street parking stalls
along the north side of the road (Exhibit 5). See FOF 30 for more information.
The proposal also includes three (3) 16-foot wide alley Tracts (Tract A (alley 3), Tract B
(alley 2), and Tract E (alley 1)). Under RMC 4-6-060J, these three access tracts are
identified as shared driveways. Shared driveways are not dedicated right-of-way and
are owned and maintained by the Homeowner’s Association. Deviation from the
shared driveway standards of the code would require a separate street modification
request. The applicant may submit a formal request for modification to staff for
consideration to deviate from the shared driveway standards.
Alley 1 provides access to Lots 24-26, alley 2 provides access to Lots 5-13 and alley 3
provides access to Lots 1-4. Access is required within 150 feet of all points on the
buildings and fire department apparatus access roadways are required to be minimum
20 feet wide fully paved, with 25 feet inside and 45 feet outside turning radius
(including the turning radius to alley 2). Fire access roadways shall be constructed to
support a 30 ton vehicle with 75 psi point loading. Applicant shall submit a variance
request for approval by the Renton Fire Authority for 16-foot wide alley access to Lot 1-
4, 5-13 and 24-26. An earlier site plan design included a T-shaped alley that included
lots without pipestems, landscape screening between the alley and the public right-of-
way and minimum turning radius (Exhibit 43). Staff is more supportive of a T-shaped
alley design that meets all these items.
The applicant has indicated that the proposed 45-lot subdivision would generate 321
new weekday daily trips, with 27 new trips occurring during the weekday AM peak
hour (5 entering, 22 exiting), and 31 new trips occurring during the weekday PM peak
hour (21 entering, 10 exiting) (Exhibit 12). The estimated distribution of project traffic
was based on existing traffic patterns and were generally distributed as follows: 50
percent to/from the west on SR 169; 30 percent to/from the east on SR 169; and 20
percent to/from the south on 140th Way SE. Based on the LOS results conducted at
three study intersections, all intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels
(LOS D or better) during the AM and PM peak hours in 2017 with no significant impacts
created by the proposed Elliott Farm. An annual growth rate of two percent was
applied to the existing volumes. It is anticipated that the proposed project would result
in impacts to the City’s street system. In order to mitigate transportation impacts, the
applicant would be required to meet code-required frontage improvements, City of

Renton’s transportation concurrency requirements (Exhibit 36) based upon a test of the
citywide Transportation Plan and pay appropriate Transportation Impact Fees. The
2016 impact fee for condominium/townhome is $1,546.31 per dwelling unit. Based on
45 new dwelling units, the resulting impact fee would be $69,583.95 (45 X 1,546.31 per
unit). Payment of transportation impact fees is applicable at the time of issuance of the
building permit. The City of Renton transportation impact fee rate schedule is subject
to change.
All street lighting is required to meet city standards. Lighting plans were not submitted
with the land use application and would be reviewed during the construction utility
permit. A lighting plan and final detailed landscape plan shall be submitted to, and
approved by, the Current Planning Project Manager and the Plan Reviewer prior to
construction permit issuance.
Relationship to Existing Uses: The proposed project is compatible with existing
surrounding uses.
Staff Comment: The subject site is bordered by multi-family and single-family homes
within the general vicinity of the subject property (Exhibit 3). The properties
surrounding the subject site are residential low to high density and are designated RC,
R-8 and R-14 on the City’s zoning map. The proposal is similar to existing development
patterns in the area and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code,
which encourages the development of infill parcels in existing multi-family districts.
31. Availability and Impact on Public Services:
Compliance Availability and Impact on Public Services Analysis
Police and Fire: Police and Fire Prevention staff indicates that sufficient resources exist
to furnish services to the proposed development; subject to the condition that the
applicant provides Code required improvements and fees. Applicant would also be
required to submit a variance request to reduce the width of the proposed alleys
throughout the site. See FOF 28, Streets. Fire impact fees are applicable at the rate of
$495.10 per single family unit. This fee is paid at time of building permit issuance.
Schools: It is anticipated that the Renton School District can accommodate any
additional students generated by this proposal at the following schools: Tiffany Park
Elementary School, Nelsen Middle School, and Lindbergh High School (Exhibit 29). Any
new students attending the Renton schools would be bussed. The proposed project
includes the installation of frontage improvements along the public street frontages,
including sidewalks. The designated school bus stops are at the following intersections
(at or near the project site): 14105 Maple Valley Hwy (Turn lane Molasses Creek) and
140th Way SE & SE 154th Pl. A sidewalk runs the distance from each lot to either of the
designated bus stops. Therefore, there are safe walking routes to the school bus stops.
A School Impact Fee, based on new single-family lots, would be required in order to
mitigate the proposal’s potential impacts to the Renton School District. The fee is
payable to the City as specified by the Renton Municipal Code. Currently the fee is
assessed at $1,385.00 per multi-family unit.
Parks: A Park Impact Fee would be required for the future multi-family units. The
current Park Impact Fee (per unit) is $1,532.56 for a 2 unit multi-family structure or
$1,448.52 for a 3 to 4 unit multi-family structure. The fee in effect at the time of
building permit application is applicable to this project and is payable at the time of
building permit issuance.

Storm Water: An adequate drainage system shall be provided for the proper drainage
of all surface water.
Staff Comment: The applicant submitted a Preliminary Technical Information Report
(TIR), prepared by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. (dated April 10, 2015; Exhibit
13). The 6.07-acre site is located within the Lower Cedar River drainage basin and
outside the 100-year floodplain limits. According to the TIR, the project would maintain
the natural discharge location for the site. However, less than 10% of the total basin
area of the wetland would be diverted away from the wetland. The project’s biologist
does not expect the proposed diversion would result in a substantial change in the flow
available to the wetland (Exhibit 20). Based on the City’s flow control map, this site falls
within the Flow Control Duration Standard, Forested Site Condition. Surface water
runoff created by this development would be collected through a series of new catch
basins and pipe systems in the new roadways within two (2) drainage basins. One (1)
basin would be drained to the existing conveyance system in Molasses Creek and the
second basin would drain to a proposed 24-inch conveyance system along the project
fronting SR 169 (Exhibit 6). The proposed 45-lot subdivision is subject to full drainage
review and water quality in accordance with the 2009 KCSWDM.
According to the TIR, flow control is exempt for this project as the project is within a half
mile of the Cedar River and direct discharge to Cedar River is permitted per City of
Renton Amendment to King County Storm water design manual section 1.2.3.1,
provided that the direct discharge exemption requirements, as described in the City
Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM, are met. Cedar River is listed as a Major Receiving
Water and the project is less than one-half mile to the 100 year flood plain. The final
Technical Information Report (TIR) must include a level 3 downstream analysis to
demonstrate that there is sufficient capacity in the existing and proposed storm system
and that the approval of direct discharge would not cause flooding.
The developer is intending to use an existing off-site water quality facility (wetpond).
The wetpond is located at the southwest corner of the SR 169 and 140th Way SE
intersection. According to the TIR, the off-site water quality drainage facility (wet pond)
was built and sized for several divisions of Cedarwood projects, Molasses Creek
Condominium, areas of the WSDOT right-of-way, as well as the proposed Elliott Farms
project. A SEPA mitigation measure was included that requires the applicant to provide
a copy of the final drainage report(s) used to build the Cedarwood water quality pond
by King County, including the original design of the pond.
Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures would be provided in the final
engineering plan set and would be subject to the 2009 Department of Ecology
Guidelines. A Construction Stormwater Permit from Department of Ecology is required if
clearing and grading of the site exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site.
Water: The applicant has provided a water availability certificate from Cedar River
Water & Sewer District (Exhibit 15). A copy of the approved water plan from Cedar
River Water & Sewer District shall be provided to the City prior to approval of the Utility
Construction Permit.
Sanitary Sewer: The applicant has provided a sewer availability certificate from Cedar
River Water & Sewer District (Exhibit 16). A copy of the approved sewer plan from
Cedar River Water & Sewer District shall be provided to the City prior to approval of the
Utility Construction Permit.

roadway and relocate a fair portion of the public sidewalks and planter strips into open space tracts
away from vehicular travel ways.
The proposal is compliant with the following modification criteria, pursuant to RMC 4-9-250D, if all
conditions of approval are met. Therefore, staff is recommending approval of the requested
modification, subject to conditions as noted below:
Compliance Street Modification Criteria and Analysis
a. Substantially implements the policy direction of the policies and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Element and the Community Design Element and the
proposed modification is the minimum adjustment necessary to implement these
policies and objectives.
Staff Comment: The proposal to develop the subject property with 45 homes is
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and zoning designations of the site.
Neighborhood connectivity is facilitated by the construction of a new public road
segment that would connect to the existing Molasses Creek Condominium private
roadway to and from the site. The following Comprehensive Plan Objectives and Policies
support development of the site as proposed with 45 units and the modified public road

b. Will meet the objectives and safety, function, appearance, environmental
protection and maintainability intended by the Code requirements, based upon
sound engineering judgment.
Staff Comment: The new public road segment would connect to an existing private road
that serves Molasses Creek Condominiums. As a recommended condition of approval,
the homeowners of the new project would enter into an agreement with the Molasses
Creek Homeowner's Association for their proportionate share of maintenance of the off-
site private road network. An easement already exists to extend private access through
Molasses Creek Condominiums to the site. The proposed roadway would provide a
paved width of 20 feet with sidewalks that are separated from the vehicle lanes for
most of the length. Staff recommends, as a condition of approval that the separated
sidewalks (i.e. trail system) be paved with concrete with the exception of the trail
system behind the rear yards of Lots 34-45.
Each townhome unit would provide up to two (2) off-street parking spaces. A final HOA
shall be submitted to, and approved by, the City of Renton Project Manager and the City
Attorney prior to Final Plat recording. Such documents shall be recorded concurrently
with the Final Plat.
c. Will not be injurious to other property(ies) in the vicinity.
Staff Comment: The connection to the existing private road was previously
contemplated and an easement was created for the purpose. There is no injury to
surrounding properties from the public road segment that would connect to the existing
private road as the extension was previously planned and an easement exists for access
from the project through Molasses Creek Condominiums.
Compliant
if condition
of approval

d. Conforms to the intent and purpose of the Code.
Staff Comment: The intent of the Code is to have roads that can provide safe and
maintainable access to development. The proposed modified public road design would
conform to the need for pedestrian facilities as well as amenities such as street trees
and street lighting. The public street would be dedicated to the City of Renton upon
recording of the final plat. As a recommended condition of approval, public easements
shall be provided for amenities that are outside of the right-of-way of the new public
street. The applicant shall also provide access signage that identifies the trails system
throughout the development for public access.
e. Can be shown to be justified and required for the use and situation intended; and

RE: Elliott Farms
Preliminary Plat

)))))))))
DECISION UPON RECONSIDERATION
SUMMARY
Leland and Joanne Gregory have requested reconsideration of the approval of the above-captioned
preliminary plat, issued on August 25, 2016. The Gregorys contest the location of the Elliot Farms
access point to SR 169, which is located 90-100 feet from their driveway. The reconsideration
request is denied and the Final Decision of the above-captioned matter is left unmodified except for
the additional findings and conclusions added by this Decision Upon Reconsideration.
Reconsideration is denied because the Gregorys largely or arguably entirely base their request upon
assertions of error in a deviation request separately approved by City staff. The staff’s deviation
decision approved a reduction in minimum separation between adjoining access points on SR 169
from Code required 330 feet to the 90-100 foot separation authorized in the Elliot Farms preliminary
plat approval. Since that deviation request was not timely appealed, the examiner has no jurisdiction
to review it. Even if the examiner does have jurisdiction to consider some or all of the issues raised
by the Gregorys, it is determined in this Decision Upon Reconsideration that the deviation for the
90-100 foot separation was properly granted by the City and that the separation satisfies general
subdivision standards requiring “adequate” streets.

FINDINGS OF FACT
Procedural:
1. Reconsideration Request Chronology. Leland and Joanne Gregory Submitted a request for
reconsideration dated August 25, 2016 and received by the City on September 7, 2016. The
applicant, through their attorney Jami Balint, submitted an objection dated September 12, 2016.
The hearing examiner issued an order addressing the reconsideration request on September 13,
2016. The order sustained the objection in part, determining that the reconsideration request was
inadmissible because it contained new evidence. The order authorized the Gregorys to resubmit
their reconsideration request without new evidence by September 19, 2016. The Gregorys
submitted a revised reconsideration request on September 19, 2016. The City submitted a response
on September 26, 2016, the Applicant submitted a response on September 30, 2016 and the
Gregorys submitted a reply on October 9, 20161.
2. Basis of Reconsideration Request. The basis of the Gregorys’ reconsideration request
was that the Elliot Farms SR 169 access point was too close to their driveway. There is conflicting
information in the record as to the width of the separation, but the Elliot Farms access point is most
likely 90 to 100 feet from the Gregorys’ driveway. The Gregory and Elliot Farms access points
adjoin each other on the south side of SR 169. The Gregorys’ reconsideration request is primarily
directed at a City decision in Ex. 24 that authorizes a reduction in the minimum separation of 330
feet between the Gregory and Elliot Farms access points required by WAC 468-52-040(3)(b)(ii)(B).
The Gregorys assert that the access point should be moved to one of two alleys located in Elliot
Farms, which would roughly double or triple the separation between their driveway and the Elliot
Farms SR 169 access point.
1 The October 9, 2016 letter objected to a reference to a conversation between the Gregorys and the applicant. That
objection is sustained and the information was not considered in this reconsideration decision.

The Gregorys assert two impacts from the location of the Elliot Farms access point. They
note that they currently use the south shoulder of SR 169 as a deceleration lane to enter their
driveway from travelling west on SR 169 and that the approved access point eliminates this use of
the shoulder. The Gregorys also assert that a new SR 169 left turn lane to be added to serve the
Elliot Farms access point will restrict access to their driveway to right in/right out access.
3. Impacts of Proximate Elliot Farms Access Point. For the reasons outlined below, the
approved project access point to SR 169 provides for optimal access to SR 169 from a traffic
circulation and safety standpoint. The primary reason for greater separation from the Gregorys’
driveway would be to avoid the right in/right out turning restrictions on the Gregory driveway, but
the circulation/safety benefits of keeping the access point in its approved location outweigh the
problems caused by these turning restrictions.
The Gregorys do not assert any safety impact associated with the proximity of the Elliot Farms
access point and none is apparent from the record. Their primary issue is centered on the loss of
shoulder use and the loss of ability to turn left due to the required installation of a left turn lane. As
to the loss of shoulder use, the Gregorys do not contest the Applicant’s plausible assertion in Ex. 53
that the frontage improvements required for the project would narrow the shoulder to five feet and
render it unusable as a deceleration lane no matter where the Elliot Farms SR 169 access point
would be located. As a result, it is determined that the approved location of the Elliot Farms SR 169
access point is not responsible for the loss of shoulder use for deceleration. As to the impacts of the
left turn lane, the Gregorys will be subjected to the same right in/right out turning restrictions onto
SR 169 as the future residents of the Elliot Farms project. This is certainly an inconvenience, but the
safety and/or circulation factors that were the basis for the Elliot Farms turning restrictions likely
apply as well to turning movements from the Gregorys’ property, at least to a partial degree.
Of course, the state would only have adopted the WAC 468-52-040(3)(b)(ii)(B) 330 foot separation
requirement because of safety and/or circulation problems caused by intersections that are spaced
closer together. However, the City had to balance reducing the 330 foot spacing requirement against
the 2,640 foot spacing requirement between the Elliot Farms SR 169 access point and 140th Way SE,
also set by WAC 468-52-040(3). The approved Elliot Farms SR 169 access point is only 2,093 feet
from 140 Way SE, which is the maximum separation possible between the two access points. Due
to several factors identified in Ex. 52, City staff determined that on-balance maximizing the possible
separation from 140th Way SE provided for safer and more code compliant traffic circulation and
improvements than adhering to the 330 foot separation required from the Gregorys’ driveway. Even
eliminating grade separation issues with the adjoining Gregory property raised in the Ex. 24
deviation approval, the considerations by staff are sufficiently compelling to conclude that safety and
circulation impacts are minimized by the approved location of the Elliot Farms SR 169 access point.
The approved access point maximizes separation from another public road intersection (140 Way
SE) and avoids the need for a cul-de-sac (which would have to be installed if the Elliot Farms SR

169 access point were moved to one of the project’s alleys as suggested by the Gregorys). As
outlined in Ex. 24 and Ex. 52, a City traffic engineer found these factors sufficient to justify a
reduction to the 330 foot requirement. From a traffic circulation and safety standpoint, these factors
outweigh the inconvenience of the right in/right out limitations to the Gregorys.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. Authority of Examiner. The examiner has no jurisdiction to hear the validity of the
City’s approval of the deviation request to WAC 468-52-040(3)(b)(ii)(B), Ex. 24, and likely has no
jurisdiction to collaterally attack the approval under general road adequacy standards applicable to
subdivision review.
RMC 4-6-060(F)(9)(b) adopts WAC 468-51 and 468-52 (which includes the 330 foot
separation requirement) by reference. RMC 4-6-060(Q)(1) provides that waivers from WAC 486-52
are subject to the criteria of RMC 4-9-250. Ex. 24 does not clearly identify the approved deviation
as processed pursuant to RMC 4-9-250, but in the absence of any evidence to the contrary City staff
are presumed to use review procedures authorized by City code. RMC 4-8-080(G) provides that
deviation/modification decisions are subject to appeal to the hearing examiner. RMC 4-8-110(C)(3)
requires appeals to be filed with the examiner within 14 days of issuance of the decision appeal. No
timely appeal was filed of the Ex. 24 deviation approval. In the absence of a timely appeal, a permit
decision, even if noncompliant with permitting criteria, can no longer be challenged. See Nykreim
Chelan County v. Nykreim, 146 Wn.2d 904 (2002). Further, case law is clear that cities cannot
collaterally revisit permitting decisions in subsequent permit applications. See Habitat Watch v.
Skagit County, 155 Wn.2d 397 (2005). The courts are equally clear that a permit decision cannot be
revisited even though no notice of the decision is provided to the public. Durland v. San Juan
County, 182 Wn.2d 55 (2015)(fact that neighbor did not receive notice of building permit did not
relieve neighbor of requirement to file an administrative appeal within time limits set by County
code). Given these parameters, it is clear that the Ex. 24 deviation approval cannot be revisited in
the Gregorys’ reconsideration request. It is also likely that applying general subdivision criteria to
address the adequacy of the separation (specifically, the criterion requiring “adequate” roads, RMC
4-7-080(B)(4)) would be considered a collateral attack on the Ex. 24 deviation approval.
Nonetheless, in case on appeal the examiner is determined to have jurisdiction, applicable deviation
and subdivision standards will be addressed in this decision.
2. Approved Gregory/Elliot Farms Separation Complies with Applicable City
Standards. The approved 90-100 separation between the Gregory driveway and Elliot Farms SR 169
access point both satisfies the criteria for a deviation and the adequacy standard of RMC 4-7-
080(B)(4). The access point provides for “adequate” streets as required by RMC 4-7-080(B)(4)
because the approved access point is an optimal location in terms of safety and circulation efficiency
for the reasons outlined in Finding of Fact No. 3.
The Ex. 24 deviation request is governed by the standards of RMC 4-9-250(D)(2) and is
consistent with all of them. As required by RMC 4-9-250(D)(2), strict adherence to the separation
requirements of WAC 468-52-040(3)(b)(ii)(B) is impractical, given that two access points are

necessary for the project and further separation from the Gregory driveway would require closer
proximity to 140th Way SE, which is prohibited by the code, while at the same time necessitating a
cul-de-sac, which is strongly discouraged by the code. Given the balancing of factors outlined in
Finding of Fact No. 3, the separation deviation is the minimum deviation necessary to implement the
safety and circulation objectives of the comprehensive plan as required by RMC 4-9-250(D)(2)(a).
Further, for the reasons outlined in Finding of Fact No. 3, the deviation meets the objectives and
safety, function, appearance, environmental protection and maintainability intended by the Code
requirements, based upon sound engineering judgment as required by RMC 4-9-250(D)(2)(b). As
further determined in Finding of Fact No. 3, the proposal would not be injurious to other properties
as required by RMC 4-9-250(D)(2)(c), as the primary impact on the Gregorys will be right in/right
out turn restrictions, which may actually serve to enhance their safety. Since the proposed access
points optimize safety and circulation efficiency, the approved access point is consistent with the
intent and purpose of the Code as required by RMC 4-9-250(D)(2)(d). Finally, for the reasons
identified in making strict compliance with separation requirements impractical, the deviation is
shown to be justified for the use and situation intended as required by RMC 4-9-250(D)(2)(e).

Reconsideration is denied for the reasons outlined in this decision. The August 25, 2016 Final
Decision of the above captioned matter is to remain unchanged, except that the findings and

Project Location: SR 169 East of 140th Way SE (APN 222305-9004)
Project Summary: The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat, Hearing Examiner Site Plan, SEPA
Environmental Review approval and a Street Modification for a 45-lot subdivision
for the future construction of attached two- and three-unit buildings. The 6.07-
acre site is located along SR-169 between 140th Way SE and 145th Ave SE within
the Residential-14 zoning district (APN 2223059004). On June 16, 2016, the
applicant submitted revised plat plan that would divide the parcel into 45
residential lots and 8 tracts that would result in a net density of 9.7 dwelling units
per acre. The tracts include 47,911 square feet (SF) of critical areas, 60,731 SF of
open space and 4,915 SF for alleys. The proposed fee simple lots would range in
size from 2,217 SF to 3,939 SF with an average lot size of 2,586 SF. Primary access
to the development would be via a managed public road access from Maple
Valley Highway (SR 169) that runs through the development and connects to an
existing private lane at Molasses Creek Condominiums (MCC). Secondary access
to the lots would be available through the existing private road due to the
existing private easement through MCC. The scope of the project is to mimic the
adjacent condominium development as contemplated by the Pre-Annexation
Agreement and Aqua Barn Annexation in 2008.
The site is currently undeveloped and contains moderate landslide hazards and a
Category II wetland with a 50-foot buffer. The site is in the Cedar River drainage
basin and outside the 100-year floodplain limits. Stormwater will be conveyed to
the existing water quality pond that was constructed as part of the Plat of Elliott
Farms and MCC, located west of 140th Way SE.
Soils consist of Newburg Silt Loam (Ng) with a small area of Alderwood and Kitsap
(AkF). Approximately 9,000 cubic yards of cut would spread on the finished lots

Project Location Map:
PART ONE: PROJECT DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND
The applicant is requesting Preliminary Plat approval and Environmental (SEPA) Review for the subdivision
of a 6.07-acre parcel located on the south side of SR 169, between 140th Way SE and 145th Ave SE, within
the SE ¼ of Section 22, Township 23 North, Range 05 East, W.M. (Exhibits 2 & 3). The specific address
assigned to this parcel is 14207 Maple Valley Hwy LOT, Renton, WA 98058 (Parcel No. 2223059004). The
site contains no existing structures, but there are remnants from past uses. Upon completion of the
project, all existing vegetation within the developable portion of the property would either be removed or
altered. The site is proposed to be subdivided into 45 single family residential lots, associated
improvements, a modified limited residential access street (with utilities), and a critical area tract located
at the southwest corner of the site (Exhibits 2, 7 & 9). An off-site water quality facility was previously
constructed to accommodate the project (Exhibit 13).
The subject site fronts Maple Valley Highway (SR 169). Maplewood Golf Course and Ron Regis Park are
located across SR 169 or to the north of the project site. The MCC site is located immediately to the west

The project site is located within the Residential - 14 (R-14) dwelling units per net acre zoning
classification. The net density of the project is 8.3 dwelling units per net acre (45 / 4.63 net acres = 9.7
du/acre) and the 45 lots would range in size from 2,217 SF to 3,939 SF with an average lot size of 2,586 SF
(Exhibit 2). The site contains 47,911 SF of critical area and 34,665 SF of public street area. The net lot area
is 4.63 acres. The project includes approximately 1,035 lineal feet of public roadway (with utilities)
constructed to serve the proposed lots and 692 lineal feet of frontage improvements on SR 169. A
channelized intersection near the northeast property line would provide direct public access from the
development to SR 169 as a right-in/right-out access. The public road would connect to an existing private
access easement in MCC to the west.
The project would develop the site with 45 fee simple lots with 45 townhomes that are attached in two-
and three-unit buildings. The scope of the project is designed to mimic the adjacent condominium
development to the west and would include alley-loaded and front-loaded product. The density of the
project has been capped at 45 units, based on the 2008 Pre-Annexation Development Agreement, which is
consistent with the R-14 zoning regulations (Exhibit 18). Each lot would contain a three bedroom
townhome and have a two car garage and 250 SF of common open space. In addition, approximately
seven (7) on-street parallel parking stalls, 4,915 SF of alley use, and approximately 60,731 SF (1.4 acres) of
open space. Trails, picnic tables, benches and landscaping would also be provided throughout the plat.
The site was formerly occupied by a working dairy farm with a residence and garage on the west side of
the property and several barns and structures located on the south side of the site. All buildings and
structures have been demolished. The only evidence of the former structures is the remaining concrete
foundations and floor slabs from both the residence and barns. The ground cover consists primarily of
weeds, grass, and brush. Ground cover on the western and southern portions of the site includes a
forested area of small to medium growth trees.
Residential LED street lighting would be provided throughout the plat. Road improvements would be
completed on SR 169, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and planter strip. With regards to the design clear
zone, given the posted speed of 50 mph along this section of SR-169, the City defers to American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standard clear zones, which provide
the same or similar clear zone requirements as the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT). WSDOT Design Manual Section 1600.03(2)(a) Roadside and Median would preclude the

developer from installing street trees and street lighting along the frontage of SR-169 as part of the
development (Exhibit 25).
The on-site topography is generally flat. The southwest corner of the project gently slopes toward the
wetland. The remaining portion of the site drains into the roadside ditch along WA-169, where it is
conveyed westerly to the existing water quality drainage facility, then to the Cedar River (Exhibits 4 & 6).
There is an existing drainage ditch along the east side of the project that conveys off-site upstream flows
from the southeast. The elevations on the site range from 107 to 87. Approximately 9,000 cubic yards of
cut would spread on the finished lots and/or exported off-site and approximately 20,000 cubic yards of fill
material would be imported for the project. The proposed drainage system for this project is subject to the
requirements of the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM)1, and the 2010 City of
Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM. The project would discharge flows to the Cedar River, which is
listed as a Major Receiving Water in the 2009 KCSWDM.
As part of the improvements, the applicant is seeking to retain 74 trees within the wetland and wetland
buffer tract. The project is proposing to remove 31 viable trees within the development area (Exhibit 8),
and the property’s vegetation consists of dense brambles and 114 significant trees (Exhibit 14). The project
would replant 97 trees onsite (Exhibit 9).
The Natural Resources Conservation Service has classified the majority of the site soils as Newburg Silt
Loam (Ng) having a slight potential for erosion. The southwestern corner of the site was classified as
Alderwood and Kitsap soils with a severe potential for erosion. No development is proposed within the
wetland and wetland buffer located at the southwest corner of the site. A geotechnical study found the
presence of organic soils up to 12 inches, followed by glacially-derived or alluvial soils (Exhibit 10). The site
is served by Cedar River Water and Sewer District (Exhibits 15 & 16).

D. Environmental Impacts
The Proposal was circulated and reviewed by various City Departments and Divisions to determine
whether the applicant has adequately identified and addressed environmental impacts anticipated to
occur in conjunction with the proposed development. Staff reviewers have identified that the proposal
is likely to have the following probable impacts:
1. Earth
Impacts: A Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Terra Associates, Inc. (dated February 25,
2015; Exhibit 10) was submitted with the project application. According to the submitted study, the
existing site topography in the north-northeast portion of the site is flat. The southwest corner of
the project gently slopes toward the wetland and the project site has an average slope of
approximately two percent (2%). The remaining portion of the site drains generally toward the
wetland. The remaining portion of the site drains into the roadside ditch along SR 169. A field
exploration by Terra Associates, Inc. indicated that the site is generally underlain by 6 to 12 inches
of organic surface soils and roots overlying either glacially-derived or alluvial soils. Glacially-derived
soils are found on roughly the southwestern half of the site and consist of loose to very dense sand
with silt and gravel, dense gravel with cobbles, and medium stiff to very stiff sandy silt (outwash
and undifferentiated drift). Alluvial soils are found on roughly the northeastern half of the site and
consist of three to five feet of loose silty sand and soft silt overlying dense gravel with sand and
cobbles. The glacial and alluvial soils have low permeability and would not be a suitable receptor
soil for discharge of development stormwater using infiltration/retention facilities. Groundwater
was observed in 5 of the 8 test pits between 4.5 and 6 feet below current site grades.
Based on current topography, the applicant is expecting cuts and fills up to ten feet may be needed
to establish lot and roadway grades. Approximately 9,000 cubic yards of cut and 20,000 cubic yards
of fill would be imported for the project from an approved fill source to support 45 two-story fee
simple townhouse units and associated plat improvements. The on-site strippings (topsoil) would
either be spread on the finished lots and/or exported off-site to an approved location. A rockery
retaining wall, ranging between two and four feet, would be constructed along the southeast
corner of the site. Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures would be implemented
during construction (Exhibit 17).
Vegetation consists primarily of weeds, grass, brush and a variety of trees. Most of the significant
trees stand along the south and western areas, and are mostly within the wetland and wetland
buffer, or a steep slope at the southwest corner of the site. Red alder, Bigleaf maple, Western red-
cedar, and Scouler’s willow make up the majority of the trees onsite in size and quantity (Exhibits 4,
8, 9 & 14). Other tree species on the site include Douglas-fir, Western hemlock, Moss cypress,
Spanish fir, Pine, Black cottonwood, English holly, and Norway spruce. The applicant has identified
114 significant trees onsite. One (1) tree was classified as dead and 21 were determined as defect
trees. All existing trees in development area would be removed for infrastructure, homes and
safety. Whereas, all 74 trees within the wetland and wetland buffer would be retained.

maximum depth of 15 feet below existing site grades using a track hoe. Seepage generally occurred
within the gravel encountered at depths of about five feet. No groundwater was found in Test Pits
TP-5, TP-6, or TP-7. Groundwater levels are expected to vary on a seasonal and annual basis.
According to the geotechnical engineer, construction of the proposed residential development is
suitable from a geotechnical standpoint. The proposed residential buildings can be supported on
conventional spread footings bearing on competent native soils or on structural fill placed on
competent native soils. Floor slabs and pavements can be similarly supported. Some of the native
glacial and alluvial deposits encountered at the site contain a sufficient amount of fines (silt- and
clay-sized particles) that would make compaction to structural fill requirements difficult or
impossible when the soils are too wet. Site preparation activities would involve removal of existing
foundations, site clearing and stripping, and implementation of temporary erosion control
measures. After completion of site stripping and rough grading activities, Terra Associates
recommends a proofroll using heavy rubber-tired equipment to determine if any isolated soft and
yielding areas are present. If excessively yielding areas are observed, and they cannot be stabilized
in place by compaction, the affected soils should be excavated and removed to firm bearing and
grade restored with new structural fill. If the depth of excavation to remove unstable soils is
excessive, the use of geotextile fabrics could be used in conjunction with clean granular structural
fill beneath embankment of fills or roadway subgrades.
The submitted geotechnical report provides recommendations for site preparation and grading,
excavation and slopes, foundations, slab-on-grade floors, lateral earth pressure for below-grade
walls, drainage, utilities, and pavement sections. Staff recommends as a SEPA mitigation measure
that project construction be required to comply with the recommendations found in the
Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Earth Solutions, NW (dated October 29, 2014) or an
updated report submitted at a later date.
Mitigation Measure(s): Project construction shall be required to comply with the
recommendations found in the Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Terra Associates, Inc.
(dated February 25, 2015; Exhibit 10) or an updated report submitted at a later date.

2. Water
a. Wetlands, Streams, Lakes
Impacts: A Critical Area Report was prepared by Raedeke Associates, Inc. (dated December 15,
2014; Exhibit 11) was submitted with the application materials. According to the report, there is a
Category II wetland located in the southwest portion of the property. Under the vested City of
Renton code, Category II wetlands must provide a standard buffer width of 50 feet. The wetland is
a low-lying forested area in the southwest portion of the site. Vegetation in the wetland area is
comprised of a red alder canopy over a salmonberry and Himalayan blackberry shrub layer. Field
horsetail and creeping buttercup are the dominant species identified in the herbaceous layer. The
majority of the species observed were rated facultative or wetter (Reed 1988), so the vegetation
community would be considered hydrophytic, per the COE (2010) guidelines.
Soils observed in the wetland were very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) silt loam over gray (10YR
5/1) and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) silt loams. The deeper soil profiles exhibited many

redoximorphic features (mottles), and dark soils with mottles are positive indicators of hydric
(wetland) soils. The soil and wetland scientist encountered a water table at 18 inches below the
ground surface during June field investigations conducted in 2012.Other than the acknowledged
Category II wetland in the southwest portion of the site, no other wetlands or critical areas were
identified within the remaining portion of the property. Additionally, there are no observed or
known state or federally listed species utilizing the site or near the site.
The applicant is also providing a minimum 15-foot wide common areas tract, immediately north of
the wetland buffer (Tract F), in order to provide additional separation between the wetland buffer
and the proposed rear lots of Lots 34-45. Based on the provided site plan, there would be minimal
impacts to the wetland and its buffer.
The applicant submitted a Technical Memorandum, prepared by Raedeke Associates, Inc. (dated
September 8, 2015; Exhibit 20) in order to review the potential hydrologic impacts to the wetland
on the site resulting from the development. The wetland lies within an approximately 7.2 acre
basin. Site development would divert drainage from 0.4 acres of the basin away from the wetland,
representing approximately 5.6% of the total contributing area. The hydrologic support provided to
the wetland from this portion of the basin is likely greatest during the wetter months of the year
and it is likely that the majority of the hydrologic input to the wetland is derived from the steeply
sloping ground to the south and west of the wetland and that the relatively flat area to the north
and east of the wetland contributes a much smaller volume of water.
On March 9, 2015, the site was approved with two (2) conditions by the City of Renton for an
exemption from the Critical Areas Regulations in order to conduct wetland and wetland buffer
enhancement activities (LUA15-000120). The enhancement project provides off-site mitigation for
construction impacts associated with King County parcel no. 3423059202, under King County
project number CAEX14-0008. King County conducted SEPA review and acted as lead SEPA agency
and King County Department of Permitting and Environmental Review reviewed this parcel for off-
site mitigation and consistency with King County Code 21A.24. The project, if carried forward,
would enhance 5,110 square feet of the Category II wetland and 6,225 square feet of wetland
buffer. The work plan includes removing an existing concrete foundation, removing non-native
vegetation from the subject areas, and planting native trees and shrubs. The purpose of the plan
was to enhance the structural and vegetative diversity on the site, leading to an increase in habitat
and overall functional lift over existing conditions. Should the applicant elect to not move forward
with the permitted wetland and wetland buffer enhancement activities, staff recommends, as a
SEPA mitigation measure, that the applicant remove the existing concrete foundation(s) within the
wetland buffer and restore the affected areas by planting trees and shrubs within the 50-foot
standard wetland buffer by hand and without heavy machinery.
Mitigation Measure(s): The applicant shall remove the existing concrete foundation(s) within the
wetland buffer and restore the affected areas by planting trees and shrubs within the 50-foot
standard wetland buffer by hand and without heavy machinery. A tree planting plan shall be
provided to the Current Planning Project Manager for review and approval prior to construction
permit issuance.

Report of August 31, 2015; September 14, 2015; July 11, 2016 Page 9 of 13
ERC Report 15-000242
Impacts: The applicant submitted a Preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR), prepared by
Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. (dated April 10, 2015; Exhibit 13). The 6.07-acre site is
located within the Lower Cedar River drainage basin and outside the 100-year floodplain limits.
According to the TIR, the project would maintain the natural discharge location for the site.
However, less than 10% of the total basin area of the wetland will be diverted away from the
wetland. The project’s biologist does not expect the proposed diversion would result in a
substantial change in the flow available to the wetland (Exhibit 20). Based on the City’s flow control
map, this site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard, Forested Site Condition. Surface
water runoff created by this development would be collected through a series of new catch basins
and pipe systems in the new roadways within two (2) drainage basins. One (1) basin would be
drained to the existing conveyance system in Molasses Creek and the second basin would drain to a
proposed 24-inch conveyance system along the project fronting WA-169 (Exhibit 6). The proposed
45-lot subdivision is subject to full drainage review and water quality in accordance with the 2009
KCSWDM.
According to the TIR, flow control is exempt for this project as the project is within a half mile of
the Cedar River and direct discharge to Cedar River is permitted per City of Renton Amendment to
King County Storm water design manual section 1.2.3.1, provided that the direct discharge
exemption requirements, as described in the City Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM, are met. The
Cedar River is listed as a Major Receiving Water and the project is less than one-half mile to the 100
year flood plain. The final Technical Information Report (TIR) must include a level 3 downstream
analysis to demonstrate that there is sufficient capacity in the existing and proposed storm system
and that the approval of direct discharge would not cause flooding.
The developer is intending to use an existing off-site water quality facility (wetpond). The wetpond
is located at the southwest corner of the WA 169 and 140th Way SE intersection. According to the
TIR, the off-site water quality drainage facility (wet pond) was built and sized for several divisions of
Cedarwood projects, MCC, areas of the WSDOT right-of-way, as well as the proposed Elliott Farms
project. Staff recommends, as a SEPA mitigation measure, that the applicant provide a copy of the
final drainage report(s) used to build the Cedarwood water quality pond by King County. The report
should include the original design of the pond.
Temporary erosion and sedimentation control measures would be provided in the final engineering
plan set and would be subject to the 2009 and Department of Ecology Guidelines. A Construction
Stormwater Permit from Department of Ecology is required if clearing and grading of the site
exceeds one acre. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site.
Mitigation Measure(s): The applicant shall submit the final drainage report(s) used to build the
Cedarwood water quality pond, including the original design, to the City of Renton Plan Reviewer
prior to construction permit issuance.

3. Trees and Vegetation
Impacts: The property is covered in weeds, grass, brush and a variety of trees. Most of the
significant trees stand along the south and western areas, and are mostly within the wetland and
wetland buffer, or a steep slope at the southwest corner of the site. Red alder, Bigleaf maple,
Western red-cedar, and Scouler’s willow make up the majority of the trees onsite in size and
quantity (Exhibits 4, 8, 9 & 14). Other tree species on the site include Douglas-fir, Western hemlock,

Moss cypress, Spanish fir, Pine, Black cottonwood, English holly, and Norway spruce. There are
approximately 114 trees over 6 inches in diameter on the parcel proposed to be developed. After
street and critical area deductions, and the minimum requirement to retain 20%, the applicant is
proposing to retain none of the required 6.2 trees (Exhibit 8).
Attached dwellings are required to maintain a minimum tree density of (4) significant trees for
every five thousand (5,000) square feet on each residential lot. The tree density may consist of
existing trees or replacement trees. Rather than retain the required 6 trees, the applicant is
proposing to replant the site with 126 new trees (not including street trees). The proposed tree
species includes Katsura, Elm, Flowering dogwood, Japanese snowbell, Paperbark maple, vine
maple, serviceberry, cornelian cherry, flowering dogwood, Leyland cypress, black pine, incense
cedar, and western arborvitae at 2-inches in caliper, 6’ to 10’ in height (Exhibit 14). These proposed
replacement trees exceed the minimum required replacement inches, 12 inches (12”) for every
tree that was unable to be retained, or 37 inches (37”) for the project (6.2” x 12” = 74.4 required
replacement inches; 74.4”/2” per tree = 37.2 trees required for replacement). A final detailed
landscape plan must be submitted and approved prior to issuance of the street and utility
construction permits (Exhibit 9).
Mitigation Measure(s): No further mitigation required.
Nexus: Not applicable
4. Historic and Cultural Preservation
Impacts: Historically the Cedar River has meandered downstream in the Renton-Maple Valley area
across the width of the river valley. Furthermore, developments within the vicinity of the Cedar
River are more likely to be sites where significant historic and/or cultural resources would be
found, and the subject development has indicated that site grading would be conducted. In
addition, the Washington State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and Department of
Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP) considers this site to have a high probability for
containing precontact and historical archaeological resources because it is adjacent to the historical
channel of the Cedar River and a portion of a historic trail system is within the project area (Exhibit
26). Therefore, staff recommends a mitigation measure that would require a professional
archaeological survey of the project area shall be conducted prior to ground disturbance and also
require the applicant and/or developer to stop work and immediately notify the City of Renton
planning department, concerned Tribes’ cultural committees, and the Washington State
Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation if any Native American grave(s) or
archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found.
Mitigation Measures:
1. A professional archaeological survey of the project area shall be conducted prior to ground
disturbance. The results of the professional archaeological survey shall be provided to the Current
Planning Project Manager for review and approval prior to construction permit issuance.
2. If any Native American grave(s) or archaeological/cultural resources (Indian artifacts) are found,
all construction activity shall stop and the owner/developer shall immediately notify the City of
Renton planning department, concerned Tribes’ cultural committees, and the Washington State
Department of Archeological and Historic Preservation.

5. Transportation
Impacts: All new residential subdivisions are required by Renton Municipal Code to establish access
to a public road for each segregated parcel (RMC 4-7-080B.2); therefore, a direct public connection
to SR 169 is being pursued. Vehicular access to the vacant site is proposed via a new channelized
plan that would provide vehicular and residential access connection to SR-169 (under review by
WSDOT for compliance state transportation policies and guidelines), which would be located
approximately 875 feet east of the Molasses Creek development access, approximately 133 feet
west of the single family driveway access to 14235 Maple Valley Hwy, and approximately 552 feet
west of Pioneer Place at 145th Ave SE. WSDOT approval of the channelization plan would be
subject to a right-in/right-out configuration only from Road A to SR 169 (Exhibits 22-23).
Preliminary review of the channelization plan by WSDOT would require a covenant to be placed on
the face of the plat to vacate the plats direct public access to SR 169 when a future access to a
public road can be achieved either through Molasses Creek Condominium (parcel no. 5568900000)
road network or via a redevelopment of the Molasses Creek parcel. Therefore, staff recommends a
mitigation measure that the applicant record a covenant on the face of the plat to vacate the plats
direct public access to SR 169 when a future access to a public road can be achieved either through
Molasses Creek Condominium (parcel no. 5568900000) road network or via a redevelopment of
the Molasses Creek parcel. For example, “The City of Renton, at the request of the Washington
State Department of Transportation, may modify, vacate, and/or eliminate the direct access
connection to State Route 169, in the event that direct access from the plat to State Route 169 is
provided via a public right-of-way over and across the Molasses Creek Condominiums property
located to the west of the plat (APN 556890-0000).”
The proposed project also includes abandoning the former single family driveway connection
approximately 515 feet east of the Molasses Creek development access (Exhibit 24). Secondary
access to the site is proposed via an existing easement that goes through the adjacent MCC project.
The easement originates from SR 169 and 140th Way SE and connects through MCC to Elliott Farms
west property line (Exhibit 19). The homeowners association of the new project would enter into
an agreement with the Molasses Creek Homeowner’s Association for their proportionate share of
maintenance of the off-site private road network.
The applicant has proposed a street modification that includes several different cross sections to
accommodate vehicles, pedestrians, street trees, and street lights. The proposed roadway would
provide a paved width of 20 feet with sidewalks that are separated from the vehicle lanes for most
of the length of the roadway. Residential street lighting would be provided onsite. Three (3) tracts
for alley access is proposed for 16 lots. Road improvements would be completed on SR 169,
including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and a planter strip, subject to design review and approval by
WSDOT (Exhibit 5). This may include dedication of right-of-way for future planned widening of SR-
169 to accommodate 6, 12-foot lanes and 8-foot shoulders.
A Traffic Impact Analysis prepared by TENW (dated April 1, 2015, revised date December 1, 2015;
Exhibit 12) was submitted with the application materials. The proposed 45-lot subdivision would
generate 321 new weekday daily trips, with 27 new trips occurring during the weekday AM peak
hour (5 entering, 22 exiting), and 31 new trips occurring during the weekday PM peak hour (21
entering, 10 exiting). Based on the LOS results conducted at three study intersections, all

intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels (LOS D or better) during the AM and PM
peak hours in 2017 with no significant impacts created by the proposed Elliott Farm. An annual
growth rate of two percent was applied to the existing volumes. The traffic report concludes by
stating that traffic impact fees would mitigate long-term traffic impacts, as created by Elliott Farms
residential project. The 2016 impact fee for condominium/townhome is $1,546.31 per dwelling
unit. Based on 45 new dwelling units, the resulting impact fee would be $69,583.95 (45 X 1,546.31
per unit). Payment of transportation impact fees is applicable at the time of issuance of the
building permit. The City of Renton transportation impact fee rate schedule is subject to change.
It is not anticipated that the proposed project significantly adversely impacts the City of Renton’s
street system subject to the payment of code-required impact fees and the construction of code-
required frontage improvements (Exhibit 27). The fee, as determined by the Renton Municipal
Code at the time of building permit issuance, shall be payable to the City.
A concurrency recommendation would be provided in the staff report to Hearing Examiner based
upon the test of the citywide Transportation Plan, consideration of growth levels included in the
LOS‐tested Transportation Plan, payment of a Transportation Mitigation Fee, and an application of
site specific mitigation. The development would have to meet the City of Renton concurrency
requirements.
Mitigation Measure(s): The applicant shall record a covenant on the face of the plat to vacate the
plats direct public access to SR 169 when a future access to a public road can be achieved either
through Molasses Creek Condominium (parcel no. 5568900000) road network or via a

SEWER: Sewer service will be provided by the Cedar River Water and Sewer District.
STORM: There is conveyance/structure system at NE corner of the subject property..
STREETS: There are no frontage improvements.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Water
Water service will be provided by Cedar River Water and Sewer District. A Water availability certificate will be required.
Sewer
1. Sewer service will be provided by Cedar River Water and Sewer District. A Sewer availability certificate will be required.
Surface Water
1.There is conveyance/structure system at NE corner of the subject property.
2. A drainage plan and drainage report dated April 10, 2015 was submitted by Barghausen Consulting Engineers. The proposed 45 lot
subdivision, zoned R 14, is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Manual and City of
Renton Amendments to the KCSWM, Chapters 1 and 2. The 6.07 acre site is located within the Lower Cedar River basin. Based on the
City’s flow control map, this site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard, Forested Site Condition. Surface water runoff created by
this development will be collected through a series of new catch basins and pipe systems in the new roadways in two drainage basins.
One basin will be drained to the existing conveyance system in Molasses Creek and the other one will drain to a proposed 24 inch
conveyance system along the project fronting WA 169. Flow control is not required for this project as the project is within half mile with
Cedar River and can direct discharge to Cedar River per City of Renton Amendment to King County Storm water design manual section
1.2.3.1, provided that the direct discharge exemption requirements, as described in the City Amendments to the 2009 KCSWDM, are met.
The drainage report must include the level 3 conveyance capacity analysis of the downstream system to the outlet for the total tributary
area to the outfall as required by the 2009 KCSWDM amended by City Of Renton to demonstrate that there is sufficient capacity in the
existing and proposed storm system and that the approval of direct discharge will not cause flooding. Water quality is required for this
Development and developer is intending to use existing off site wet pond for water quality. The off site wet pond was built by previous
development. Water quality treatment for the Elliot Farm’s development must be provided per the 2009 King County Storm Water Design
Manual. Applicant must provide a copy of the drainage report that was initially developed for the cottonwood, molasses creek and the
proposed Elliot farm’s developments that sized and approved the water quality pond by King County.
3.A geotechnical report, dated February 25, 2015 was submitted by Terra Associates, Inc. The field study included eight exploration pits
on the 6.07 acre site. These exploration pits were dug up to 15 feet in native’s soil. Ground water/seepage was observed in 5 of the eight
test pits. The seepage occurred below depths of about five feet. Soil types encountered are glacially derived and alluvial. The glacial and
alluvial soils have low permeability and would not be a suitable receptor soil for discharge of development stormwater using
infiltration/retention facilities.
4.Surface water system development fee is $0.540 per square foot of new impervious surface, but not less than $1012. This is payable
prior to issuance of the construction permit.
5.A Construction Stormwater Permit from Department of Ecology is required if clearing and grading of the site exceeds one acre. A
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for this site.

2.A drainage report, dated April 10, 2015, was submitted by Barghausen Consulting Engineers, Inc. with the site plan application.
Based on the City of Renton’s flow control map, this site falls within the Flow Control Duration Standard for Forested Conditions. The
development is subject to Full Drainage Review in accordance with the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and
the City of Renton Amendments to the KCSWDM. All core requirements and special requirements have been discussed in the provided
drainage report.
3.The existing site is currently undeveloped with remnants from an existing farm, including partially buried building foundations and
concrete slabs. The site topography is generally flat with a steep slope in the southwest corner of the site, which also contains a wetland
with a 50 foot that will remain undisturbed. A portion of the runoff from the existing site drains to the wetland. The remaining portion of the
site drains into a roadside ditch along Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169), where flows are conveyed west.
4.A geotechnical report, dated February 25, 2015, completed by Terra Associates, Inc., for the site has been provided. The field study
included eight exploration pits on the 6.07 acre site. These exploration pits were dug up to 15 feet in native soils. Groundwater/seepage
was observed in five of the eight test pits. The seepage occurred below depths of about five feet. The report discusses the soil and
groundwater characteristics of the site and provides recommendations for project design and construction. Geotechnical
recommendations presented in this report discount the use of full infiltration due to the underlying dense glacial till soil.
5.The project site is located within the Lower Cedar River drainage basin and the flowpath from the project site discharge point is less
than a half mile to the 100 year floodplain of the Cedar River and qualifies for the direct discharge exemption in accordance with Section
1.2.3.1 of the City Amendments to the KCSWDM and must adhere to all requirements thereof.
Staff Comments:
i.The conveyance system analysis provided in the preliminary Technical Information Report (TIR) does not provide a complete analysis
of the system to the outfall in the Cedar River in accordance with the requirements for the direct discharge exemption as outlined in
Section 1.2.3 of the 2009 KCSWDM. Applicant shall provide a complete conveyance system analysis, including new conveyance pipes
within the proposed development and existing conveyance pipes from the development boundary to the outfall in the Cedar River.
Applicant shall demonstrate the outfall and existing conveyance system is adequately sized to support the added run off from the
development.
6.The development is required to provide basic water quality treatment prior to discharge. The development is proposing to convey
surface water to an existing water quality facility (wetpond), located at the southwest corner of the WA 169 and 140th Way SE intersection.
As stated in the drainage report, the existing off site wetpond was built and sized for several divisions of Cedarwood projects, Molasses
Creek Condominiums, areas of the WSDOT right of way, as well as the proposed Elliot Farms project.
Staff Comments:
i.The applicant shall complete a level 3 downstream analysis verifying capacity of the existing wetpond and conveyance system.
ii.The applicant shall provide a copy of the as built plans and final drainage report(s) used to build the Cedarwood Water Quality Pond.
7.No downstream flooding or erosion issues were identified in the drainage report.
Additional Staff Comments:
i.A Construction Stormwater Permit from Department of Ecology is required.
ii.A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is required to be submitted with the construction permit application.
TRANSPORTATION
1.The proposed development fronts Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) along the north property lines. Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) is classified
as a Principal Arterial Road and is a Washington State Highway. Frontage improvements along Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) will be
required and are subject to design review and approval by WSDOT. This may include dedication of right of way for future planned widening
of Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) to accommodate six (6) 12 foot lanes and 8 foot shoulders. If curbs are used, shoulder width may be
reduced to 4 feet. Existing right of way (ROW) width is approximately 150 feet. Per City code 4 6 060, half street improvements shall include
a pavement width of 88 feet (44 feet from centerline), a 0.5 foot curb, an 8 foot planting strip, an 8 foot sidewalk, street trees and storm
drainage improvements. However, the City’s transportation group has determined and will support an alternate standard to match the
established standard street section for Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169). The City established standard street section for Maple Valley Hwy (WA
169), which shall be installed by the developer as part of the proposed development, will allow retention of the existing curb line.
Developer will be required to install 6 foot planting strips and 5 foot sidewalks behind the existing curb along the frontage of Maple Valley
Hwy (WA 169).
Staff Comments:
i.Applicant will need to submit an application to the City requesting a modification of the street frontage improvements as outlined in
City code 4 9 250C5d.
ii.The posted speed limit of Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) is 50 mph along this section of Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169). The City defers to
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) standard clear zones, which provide the same, or similar,
clear zone requirements as WSDOT. The required clear zone would preclude the developer from being able to install street trees and
street lighting along the frontage of Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) as part of the development. A request for modification or a fee in lieu would

the existing access easement through the existing private lane at Molasses Creek Condominiums (MCC) to the west. The applicant has
proposed a street modification to provide a paved roadway width of 20 feet with 5 foot sidewalks and 8 foot planter strips along one side of
the roadway. Sidewalks and planter strips alternate between the north side of the roadway and the south side of the roadway in order to
provide pedestrian access to the pathways used to connect common areas.
Staff Comments:
i.Emergency services access within 150 feet of all homes via a 20 foot paved roadway is required. As such, parking is not allowed
along the internal access road proposed for the project.
3.The proposal includes three (3) 16 foot wide alleys. Alley 1 provides access to lots 24 26, Alley 2 provides access to lots 5 13, and
Alley 3 provides access to lots 1 4.
i.Applicant shall submit a modification request for approval by City of Renton Fire Prevention for 16 foot alley access roads to lots 1 13
and 24 26.
ii.If the modification request is approved, sprinkler systems would be required for each of the lots accessed from the 16 foot alleys.
4.ADA access ramps shall be installed at all street crossings. Ramps are not shown at the crossing between lots 33 and 34 and at the
crossing located at the west end of the development.
5.Street lighting and street trees are required to meet current city standards. Lighting plans were not submitted with the land use
application and will be reviewed during the construction utility permit review.
6.A traffic analysis dated April 1, 2015, was provided by Transportation Engineering Northwest (TENW). The site generated traffic
volumes were calculated using data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th Edition, (2009). The
traffic analysis is required to include all impacted intersections: Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169)/140th Way SE, Maple Valley Hwy (WA
169)/Molasses Creek East Access, and Molasses Creek West Access/140th Way SE. Based on the calculations provided, the proposed
development would average 321 new daily vehicle trips. Weekday peak hour AM trips would generate 27 new vehicle trips, with 22 vehicles
exiting and 5 vehicles entering the site. Weekday peak hour PM trips would generate 31 new vehicle trips, with 21 vehicles entering and 10
vehicles exiting the site.
7.A supplementary traffic analysis, dated December 11, 2015, was provided by TENW in order to provide an updated analysis of the
project assuming a new access to Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169). Traffic volumes remained unchanged from the preliminary analysis
previously noted. The estimated distribution of project traffic was based on existing traffic patterns and were generally distributed as
follows:
•50 percent to/from the west on Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169)
•30 percent to/from the east on SE Renton Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169)
•20 percent to/from the south on 140th Way SE
As detailed in the report the proposed project is not expected to lower the levels of service of the surrounding intersections included in the
traffic study. Direct public access to and from the site via Maple Valley Hwy (WA 169) shall be channelized to provide right in/right out
access only. Increased traffic created by the development will be mitigated by payment of transportation impact fees.
8.Refer to City code 4 4 080 regarding driveway regulations. Driveways shall be designed in accordance with City standard plans 104.1
and 104.2.
9.Payment of the transportation impact fee is applicable on the construction of the development at the time of application for the building
permit. The current rate of transportation impact fee is $1,546.31 per dwelling unit for condominiums. The project proposes the addition
of 45 new residences. The estimated total fee is $69,583.95. Traffic impact fees will be owed at the time of building permit issuance. Fees
are subject to change. The transportation impact fee that is current at the time of building permit application will be levied.
10.Paving and trench restoration shall comply with the City’s Trench Restoration and Overlay Requirements.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1.Adequate separation between utilities shall be provided in accordance with code requirements.
a.7 ft minimum horizontal and 1 ft vertical separation between storm and other utilities is required with the exception of water lines

3.0 OFF-SITE ANALYSIS
TASK 1 STUDY AREA DEFINITION AND MAPS
The proposed Plat of Elliott Farms is an attached single-family residential project consisting of 45 lots zoned
R-14. The tax parcel number is 2223059004 and is 6.07 acres in size. The site is located on the south side
and adjacent to Maple Valley Hwy (WA-169) at the eastern terminus of 140th Way SE (Private Road), in a
portion of Section 22, Township 23 North, Range 5 East, W.M., in the City of Renton. Please refer to the
vicinity map in Section 1.0.
The site is rectangular in shape with 691.70’ of frontage along Maple Valley Hwy (WA-169). A condominium
site, known as Molasses Creek Phase 1, is located on the west side of the project. A single family residential
development, known as Pioneer Place, is located to the east and a single family residence is located south.
Ground cover mainly consists of weeds, grass and brush; however, the southwest corner of the site
contains a mixed variety of trees. A wetland exists at the southwest corner of the site with a 50’ buffer. This
site is currently undeveloped, but contains remnants from an existing farm, including partially buried building
foundations and concrete slabs. Existing on-site utilities were constructed along the northern portion of the
site for this development. On-site soils are mapped as Newberg (till soils).
The on-site topography is generally flat. The southwest corner of the project (approximately 1.85 acres)
gently slopes toward the wetland. The wetland is approximately 4-6 feet lower than the edge of the 50’
buffer and drains westerly through more wetlands located behind Molasses Creek before entering into a
24-inch culvert under 140th Ave Se. The remaining portion of the site drains into the roadside ditch along
WA-169. There is an existing drainage ditch along the east side of the project that conveys off-site upstream
flows from the southeast. The elevations on the site range from 87 to 107.
TASK 2 RESOURCE REVIEW
Adopted Basin Plans: The site is located within Mainstem Reach 2 of Lower Cedar River Basin.
Refer to Appendix A for the portions of the basin that applies to this project.
Finalized Drainage Studies: This is not applicable.
Basin Reconnaissance Summary Report: This site is located in the Mainstem Reach 2 in Lower
Cedar River Basin, which is covered by the Lower Cedar River Basin and Nonpoint Pollution Action
Plan dated July 1997 (included in Appendix A).
Critical Drainage Area Maps: This project will not discharge drainage to any critical areas or
wetlands as it will be discharging developed run-off to existing conveyance system that is conveyed
to an existing water quality facility prior to discharging into the Cedar River. Therefore, no critical
areas are to be affected.
Floodplain and Floodway FEMA Maps: Please see the attached FEMA Map (Section 1.0)
utilized for this analysis. As indicated on the map, the site is located in Zone X and is outside of
the 500-year floodplain.
Other Off-Site Analysis Reports: A site investigation was conducted in preparation of this Level 1
Off-Site Drainage Analysis. The United States Department of Agriculture Soils Conservation
Service Map is also provided. See Figure 4 – Soils Map in Section 1.0.
Sensitive Areas Folios: Based on review of the King County Sensitive Areas Map Folios located
in this section and special reports prepared by consultants included in Section 6.0 of the TIR, the
site contains a wetland and buffer at the southwest corner of the site. The site is also located within
an erosion, landslide, and seismic hazard area.
21397.002-TIR.docx
Road Drainage Problems: The project researched drainage complaints from King County and
the city of Renton. The city had no records of any downstream drainage complaints within the
drainage investigation areas. King County had a listing of the drainage complaints within a mile of
the site; however, none of the complaints were within the downstream drainage area and were not
applicable.
United States Department of Agriculture King County Soils Survey: Based on the Soils Map
(Figure 4 – Soils Map, Section 1.0) for this area, the site contains Newburg (Ng) silt loam with a
small portion of Alderwood and Kitsap (AkF), very Steep, located near the south boundary line.
The soils were modeled as till soils for drainage computations.
Wetland Inventory Map: From the Wetland Assessment Report by Radakke Associates located
in Section 6.0 of this TIR, there is a wetland in the southwest corner of the site.
Migrating River Studies: This is not applicable.
City of Renton Aquifer Protection Zones: Per the City of Renton’s GIS Map, the project site is
not located within an Aquifer Recharge Area.
TASK 3 FIELD INSPECTION
The field inspection for this Level 1 Off-Site Drainage Analysis was conducted on April 3, 2015 for the
purpose of analyzing the proposed project site and its upstream and downstream corridors. The weather
was cloudy with occasional rain showers. The off-site drainage system was inspected from the project limits
to the edge of the outfall at the Cedar River. The boundary and topographic survey and LIDAR map were
also used to identify the drainage patterns associated with the property.
Upstream Drainage Area
The project contains two off-site upstream drainage areas that drain onto the project. See Exhibit A showing
the upstream drainage areas. The more southwesterly upstream drainage basin (Basin OS1) area contains
3.3 acres of upstream drainage area. The majority of the area is steep slopes. The upstream drainage area
drains to the existing wetland at the southwest corner of the site where flows are then conveyed westerly
to a larger wetland. The south easterly upstream drainage area (Basin OS2) contains approximately 17.2
acres. The drainage from this upstream drainage basin is collected in a ditch along the projects easterly
boundary line and conveyed to an existing 18-inch culvert crossing WA-169.
Onsite Drainage
In the pre-developed condition approximately 1.85 acres of the site drains toward the wetland in the
southwest corner of the site. The remaining 4.22 acres drains toward the north into the existing ditch along
WA-169.
3.1 Conveyance System Nuisance Problems (Type 1)
Conveyance system nuisance problems are minor but not chronic flooding or erosion problems that
result from the overflow of a constructed conveyance system that is substandard or has become
too small as a result of upstream development. Such problems warrant additional attention because
of their chronic nature and because they result from the failure of a conveyance system to provide
a minimum acceptable level of protection.
There were no conveyance system nuisance problems observed during the site visit. Furthermore,
based on a review of the drainage complaints received from King County and the City of Renton,
there is no evidence of past conveyance system nuisance problems occurring in the direct
downstream drainage course, as there are no records that have been submitted.
21397.002-TIR.docx
3.2 Severe Erosion Problems (Type 2)
Severe erosion problems can be caused by conveyance system overflows or the concentration of
runoff into erosion-sensitive open drainage features. Severe erosion problems warrant additional
attention because they pose a significant threat either to health and safety or to public or private
property.
Based on our site visit, there was no evidence of, or potential for, erosion/incision sufficient to pose
a sedimentation hazard downstream within the limits of the study. All runoff sheet flows to existing
conveyance channels, where flows are then conveyed off site. Stormwater runoff from the
proposed roads and rooftops from the developed project will be collected in catch basins and
conveyed through pipes to an existing water quality facility where it will then be discharged directly
to the Cedar River. As a result no future erosion problems should occur downstream because of
this development.
3.3 Severe Flooding Problems (Type 3)
Severe flooding problems can be caused by conveyance system overflows or the elevated water
surfaces of ponds, lakes, wetlands, or closed depressions. Severe flooding problems are defined
as follows:
Flooding of the finished area of a habitable building for runoff events less than or equal to
the 100-year event. Examples include flooding of finished floors of homes and commercial
or industrial buildings. Flooding in electrical/heating systems and components in the
crawlspace or garage of a home. Such problems are referred to as "severe building
flooding problems."
Flooding over all lanes of a roadway or severely impacting a sole access driveway for runoff
events less than or equal to the 100-year event. Such problems are referred to as "severe
roadway flooding problems."
Based on a review of the FEMA Map (Section 1.0) the proposed site is outside of the 500-year
floodplain, and there is no evidence of severe flooding problems encountered during our visit.
TASK 4 DRAINAGE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND PROBLEM DESCRIPTIONS
DOWNSTREAM DRAINAGE ANALYSIS:
The downstream drainage course does not exhibit any major concerns and appears to contain plenty of
capacity to convey the additional developed flows from Elliott Farms. Please refer to Exhibit A for the
Upstream/Downstream Drainage Area Map Exhibit B for the Off-site Analysis Drainage System Table.
Drainage complaints were requested from the city of Renton and King County Water and Land Resources
as required, however, there were no applicable complaints within the downstream drainage course within
the last 10 years.
In the developed condition, stormwater generated from the new impervious surfaces, including road and
rooftops, will discharge in two locations. The westerly portion of the site will discharge into the conveyance
system constructed by Molasses Creek and be conveyed to the existing water quality facility (wetpond)
before discharging into the Cedar River. The drainage from the north easterly portion of the project will be
conveyed to a proposed 24-inch conveyance system that will replace the existing ditch along the WA-169
frontage. From here the drainage will be directed through a series of ditches and culverts before entering
into the existing wetpond.
21397.002-TIR.docx
TASK 5 MITIGATION OF EXISTING OR POTENTIAL PROBLEMS
Mitigation or upsizing of any of the drainage is not required based on the drainage calculations in section
4.0 and 5.0 of this TIR. Please refer to the 100 year Conveyance Capacity Analysis in Section 5.0 showing
that the existing conveyance system in Molasses Creek contains enough capacity to convey the future
developed flows from Elliott Farms.
The project is required to provide frontage improvements along WA-169. This will include installing curb,
gutter and sidewalk. The existing ditches will be replaced with a 24-inch piped conveyance system along
the frontage and will discharge to the existing ditch. The existing conveyance system appears to contain
plenty of capacity to convey the future developed flows from the developed project to the Cedar River.

SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS
A level 3 conveyance analysis has been conducted for the downstream system for Elliott Farms.
The downstream system consists two existing conveyance systems that ultimately drain to the
existing wetpond built with previous development that was sized in include the drainage from the
Elliott Farms project. The proposed Elliott Farms site has been divided into two proposed developed
basins D1 and D2. Refer to the Post Developed Drainage Area Map in Section 2.
Basin D1 is 1.75 acres in size. The drainage from Basin D1 will discharge westerly through a
proposed conveyance system and connect to the existing storm system in Molasses Creek, also
referred to as Cedarwood Division 3 in this report. The Molasses Creek conveyance system also
receives drainage from Cedarwood Divisions 1 and 2. The drainage is conveyed to a wetpond
located at the intersection of SR-169 and 140th Ave SE for water quality treatment then discharges
directly to the Cedar River.
Basin D2 is 3.52 acres in size. The drainage from basin D2 will discharge at the northwest corner
of the site into the existing conveyance ditch along SR-169 which also discharges to the existing
wetpond. The SR-169 conveyance system also receives drainage from SR-169 roadway.
A backwater analysis was conducted for both downstream paths (Molasses Creek and the SR-169
Roadside Ditch) entering the wet pond and the overflow conveyance system discharging into the
Cedar River. The rational method and KCRTS was used to analyze the 100 year peak flows and
the King County Backwater Program was used to analyze the capacity of the existing downstream
systems. The upstream basins area were obtained from the Hugh Goldsmith & Associates, Inc.
TIR dated August 1996. The summary is included in Section 2.
Summary of predicted 100 year peak flows:
Molasses Creek to wetpond
Basin Area (Acres) Q100 year (cfs)
D1 1.75 3.08
Cedarwood Division 1, 2 & 3 39.41 24.45
Total 41.16 27.53
SR-169 Conveyance system to wetpond
Basin Area (Acres) Q100 year (cfs)
D2 3.52 4.61
SR-169 7.84 10.52
SR-169 Culvert (sub basin) 2.80 5.10
Total 11.36 15.13
Wetpond to Cedar River
Basin Area (Acres) Q100 year (cfs)
Molasses Creek 41.16 27.53
SR-169 Conveyance system 11.36 15.13
Cedarwood Division 4 5.18 6.50
Total 57.70 49.16
The SR-169 Roadside ditch was separated in four sections to analyze the capacity. The first section
consisted of all of the SR-169 and Basin D2 tributary area conveyed through the existing 24" culvert
crossing 140th Way SE and discharging into the existing wet pond. The second portion is the ditch
section with varying depths from 140th Way SE extending to the entrance to Molasses Creek. The
third section is the 18-inch culvert crossing under the entrance to Molasses Creek. The fourth
21397.003-Level 3.docx
section is the ditch section extending east to the site. The backwater analysis shows that the
existing ditch and culverts contain enough capacity to convey the additional developed the Elliott
Farms project basin D2.
The existing conveyance system in the Molasses Creek development that discharges into the
wetpond has sufficient capacity to convey the additional flow from Basin D1 in Elliott Farms. The
conveyance system from the wetpond to the Cedar River outfall also contains enough capacity to
convey the developed flows from Elliott Farms.
In conclusion the existing downstream storm system has sufficient capacity for the additional runoff
from the proposed plat of Elliott Farms. Refer to Section 2 for exhibits and calculations.

4.0 FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
A. Existing Site Hydrology
The on-site topography is generally flat with a steep slope in the southwest corner of the
site. The southwest corner of the site contains a wetland with a 50’ buffer that will remain
undisturbed. The on-site area draining to the wetland is approximately 1.76 acres and
gently slopes toward the wetland. The remaining portion of the site drains into the roadside
ditch along WA-169, where flows are conveyed west to the existing wetpond. On-site soils
are mapped as Newberg (till soils). The elevations on the site range from 87 to 107.
There is an existing drainage ditch along the east side of the project that conveys off-site
upstream flows from the southeast to the ditch along WA-169. From here flows are directed
across to the north side WA-169 through an existing 18-inch culvert. The off-site upstream
basin is shown as OS2 in the upstream/Downstream Drainage Area map and contains
approximately 17.2 acres. The majority of the basin area is forested, however
approximately 1.0 acres is a single family residence.
B. Developed Site Hydrology
The proposed on-site road will utilize vertical curb and gutter with depressed curb and
sidewalk at driveway connections. The road will connect to the existing 140th Way S.E that
was stubbed to the property by Molasses Creek. Catch basins and storm pipes will be
installed to convey flows from the new roadway and rooftops to the existing conveyance
systems in Molasses Creek and along WA-169.
Frontage improvements along WA-169 are required, including, new curb and gutter,
sidewalk, and planter strip. The project is proposing to replace the existing ditch with a 24-
inch piped conveyance system along the frontage to convey the runoff from WA-169 and
a portion of the site to the existing ditch along Molasses creek frontage.
The project will be constructing an 18-inch bypass system along the easterly boundary of
the site to collect and convey upstream basin OS2 to its natural discharge location.
The project will be reducing the amount of area flowing to the wetland at the southwest
corner of the site. Please refer to the wetland drainage area map included in Section 1.0
for a breakdown of the land use areas. The pre-developed area (PW1) currently draining
to the wetland is approximately 6.98 acres. The post developed area draining to the
wetland (DW1) will be approximately 6.54 acres. The diverted area is 6.3% of the total
basin area to the wetland. To maintain hydrology to the wetland, the rooftops from lots 44-
45 and the backyards of lots 41-43 will drain to the wetland. Please refer to the WWHM2012
Wetland Hydrology calculations located at the end of this section showing that the
developed project will closely match the wetland input volumes in the pre-developed
condition.
The project will not be providing any form of on-site water quality or flow control. The Elliott
Farms project will be utilizing the existing water quality facility that was sized to include this
project and built with previous development along with the direct discharge exemption to
the Cedar River.
Basin D1, as shown on the Post-Developed Drainage Area Map within this section, will
drain to the existing conveyance system in Molasses Creek. The developed area will
consist of approximately 70% impervious area which includes the proposed roadway and
rooftops.
21397.002-TIR.docx
Basin D2 will drain to the proposed 24-inch conveyance system installed along the frontage
of WA-169. The developed area includes impervious areas from the proposed roadway, a
portion of the WA-169 (half street), and rooftops. An open space and park area is proposed
in the center of the project.
The developed basin can be broken down as follows:
Basin D1:
Total Area = 2.08 acres
Impervious area = 1.31 acres
Till grass = 0.77 acres
Basin D2:
Total Area = 2.98 acres
Impervious area = 1.69 acres
Till grass = 1.29 acres.
C. Performance Standards
The project is exempt from flow control requirements based on the direct discharge
exemption in core requirement no. 3 of the 2009 KCSWDM and the 2010 City of Renton
Amendments to the KCSWDM. The flowpath from the project site discharge point to the
edge of the 100-year floodplain of the Cedar River is no longer than one-half mile.
The project is subject to Basic Water Quality treatment as allowed in Core Requirement
no. 8 because the project drains to a major receiving water. The wetpond provided by
previous development was sized using the 1998 KCSWD. The 2009 KCSWD and 2010
Renton amendment still use the same water quality sizing calculations. Based on the sizing
calculations found in the Hugh Goldsmith & Associates, Inc, Memorandum included in this
section, the Elliott Farms project was allocated 19,000 c.f. of storage for water quality
treatment in the existing wetpond.
D. Flow Control System
Flow Control is exempt for this this project as stated above.
E. Water Quality System
An existing Wetpond sized for basic water quality treatment will be used for water quality
treatment. The existing wetpond was built with previous development and allocated water
quality storage for this project. Refer to the Hugh G. Goldsmith & Associates, Inc
memorandum dated November 13, 2001 in this section. The wetpond is located at the
SWC of the WA-169 and 140th Ave SE intersection. To check the existing capacity of the
existing wetpond, an aerial photo was overlaid onto the LIDAR contour map to verify if the
existing wetpond matched the dimensions of the Hugh G. Goldsmith & Associates Inc
Consulting Engineers plans within this section. Based on the LIDAR and aerial photo, the
approximate volume was calculated to be approximately 199,000 c.f which exceeds the
the required volume of 188,020 c.f.
The wetpond was originally sized for several divisions of the Cedarwood projects,
Molasses Creek, areas of the WSDOT right-of way, and this Elliott Farms project. As
identified in the Hugh G. Goldsmith Memorandum, the wetpond contains 28,748 cubic feet
of extra storage. The Elliott Farms project only requires 16,384 cubic feet of storage based
on the Wetpool Sizing Worksheet found in this section.

5.0 CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The on-site Conveyance system analysis and backwater calculations for the proposed conveyance
system is provided in this section. A 100-year conveyance analysis was performed on the existing
conveyance system through Molasses Creek to the existing wetpond. See Level 3 analysis in
Section 3.0 of this TIR. The existing system has enough capacity for the predicted developed flows
from the Elliott Farms project.
The proposed conveyance system for this project is curb, gutter, catch basins, and storm drainage
pipe. The majority of the storm drainage pipe used will consist of smooth-walled corrugated
polyethylene pipe with a Manning's roughness coefficient of 0.12.
A 100-year conveyance calculation for the pipes has been completed using the Rational Method.
The following are the parameters that were used for final design of the conveyance pipes:
1. A Runoff Coefficient – ‘C’ value was calculated from the 2009 KCSWDM for each
tributary area pursuant to table 3.2.1.A.
2. A 100-year/24-hour precipitation of 3.9 inches in accordance with Figure 3.2.1D.
3. A starting time of concentration of 6.3.
4. An "n" factor of 0.012.
The tributary areas were calculated as shown on the Catch Basin Area Map within this section for
each of the catch basins connecting to the proposed piping system.
A 100-year backwater was performed to determine the hydraulic grade line and to see if any catch
basin rims overtop. The backwater was performed on the major pipe runs and computer printouts
are included within this section. The design flows are based on the rational method. The results
show that all the pipes safely convey the 100 year developed flows without over topping any of the
rims of the catch basins.

At your request, we conducted a site investigation on June 26 and 27, 2012 to determine
whether wetlands and streams were present on the Elliot Farm property.
PROPERTY LOCATION
The Elliot Farm property consists of an approximately 6-acre parcel, located along the
south side of SR 169 (Renton-Maple Valley Highway), approximately 1,000 feet east of
140th Way SE, in the City of Renton, Washington. The property is identified as Tax
Parcel No. 2223059004. This places the property in a portion of Section 22, Township 23
North, Range 5 East, W.M. Parcel maps retrieved on-line from King County (2012)
iMAP depict the property boundaries.
METHODOLOGY
In order to identify potential wetland areas, we used the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers
(COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (Environmental Laboratory 1987). The COE, which
requires use of the 1987 delineation manual, as amended, has federal regulatory
jurisdiction of the dredging or filling of "Waters of the United States," including
wetlands. As outlined in this methodology, the interaction of hydrophytic vegetation,
hydric soil, and wetland hydrology must be present for an area to be classified as wetland.
To be consistent with current regulations, field investigations were consistent with the
Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Delineation Manual: Western Mountains,
Valleys, and Coast Region (COE 2010).
BACKGROUND REVIEW
Prior to conducting our site reconnaissance, we reviewed existing background maps and
information from the U.S.D.A Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS 2014)
Web Soil Survey and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service USFWS 2014) National Wetland
Inventory (NWI).

The USDA NRCS (2014) Web Soil Survey shows the majority of the study area as an
Newberg series soil. Newberg series soil is not considered a hydric soil (USDA Soil
Conservation Service 1991 Federal Register 1995). Soil series boundaries or mapping
units are mapped from aerial photographs with limited field verification. Thus, the
location and extent of the boundaries between mapping units may be approximate for a
given parcel of land within the survey area.
The USFWS (2014) NWI does not depict wetlands on or within the immediate vicinity of
the study area. Wetlands shown on the NWI are general in terms of locations and extent,
as they are determined primarily from aerial photograph interpretation. Thus, the number
and extent of existing wetlands located within the project area may differ from those
marked on an NWI map.
RESULTS
During our site visit on June 26 and 27, 2012 we identified and delineated the boundary
of a wetland located in the southwest portion of the Elliot Farm property (Figure 2).
The wetland is a low-lying forested area in the southwest portion of the site. Vegetation
in the wetland area is comprised of a red alder (Alnus rubra, FAC) canopy over a
salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis, FAC) and Himalayn blackberry (Rubus armeniancus,
FACU) shrub layer. Field horsetail (Equisetum arvense, FAC) and creeping buttercup
(Ranunculus repens, FAC) are the dominant species identified in the herbaceous layer
(Sample Plots 2 and 4, Appendix A). The majority of the species observed are rated
facultative or wetter (Reed 1988), so the vegetation community would be considered
hydrophytic, per the COE (2010) guidelines.
Soils observed in the wetland are very dark grayish brown (10YR 3/2) silt loam over gray
(10YR 5/1) and dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) silt loams. The deeper soil profiles
exhibited many redoximorphic features (mottles). Dark soils with mottles are positive
indicators of hydric (wetland) soils per the COE (2010) guidelines. We encountered a
water table at 18 inches below the ground surface during our June 2012 field
investigations, and soils were saturated at a depth of 12 inches. These are considered
positive indicators of wetland hydrology
We did not identify any wetlands or critical areas in the remaining portion of the property.
In general the property consists of previously cleared and graded areas that now support a
vegetation community dominated by invasive plant species such as Himalayan blackberry
and Scot’s Broom (Cytisus scoparius, UPL) and included small stands of red alder and
black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera, FAC). Soils observed in the central portion of
the site were bright (10YR 5/4) fine sandy loams. No hydrology was observed within 18
inches of the ground surface (Sample plots 1, 3, and 5; Appendix A).

REGULATORY CONSIDERATIONS
Wetlands and streams are protected by Section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act and
other state and local policies and ordinances, including City of Renton (2014b) municipal
code. Regulatory considerations pertinent to wetlands identified within the study area are
discussed below; this discussion, however, should not be considered comprehensive.
Additional information may be obtained from agencies with jurisdictional responsibility
for, or interest in, the site. A brief review of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and State
of Washington regulations and of the City of Renton municipal code, relative to wetlands
and streams, is presented below.
Federal Clean Water Act (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers)
In general, Federal law (Section 404 of the Clean Water Act) discourages the discharge
of dredged or fill material into the nation’s waters, including most wetlands and
streams, without a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE). Certain
wetlands, including many that are hydrologically isolated from “waters of the United
States,” may not be regulated by the COE. The COE has the authority to make a final
determination concerning whether an area (1) meets the definition of “waters of the
United States” as defined by the federal government (Federal Register 1986:41251) and
(2) is under federal jurisdiction.
State of Washington
The Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) regulates all wetlands as ‘waters of
the State” under Chapter 90.48 RCW (Water Pollution Control), including isolated
wetlands determined to be non-jurisdictional by the COE. In addition, activities that
will use, divert, obstruct, or change the natural flow or bed of any state waters must be
approved by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), through its
administration of the State Hydraulic Code (RCW 75.20.100-140).
City of Renton
The City of Renton (2014b) municipal code currently regulates wetlands and streams
under Title IV, Chapter 3 – “Environmental Regulations and Overlay Districts.”
Alterations of wetlands or streams and their buffers are generally prohibited, except as
allowed under certain conditions specified in RMC Title IV. The City of Renton (2014)
code specifies ratings, buffers, and allowed uses of wetlands and other sensitive areas that
are under it’s jurisdiction.
The wetland identified on the Elliot Farm property appears to meet the City of Renton
criteria necessary to be considered a Category 2 system because it is not a Category 1 or 3
wetland. In order to be a Category 1 wetland the feature must contain habitat for listed
species of wildlife or plants, contain 40% to 60% open water and two or more vegetation
classes, or be greater than 10 acres in size with three or more vegetation classes. No
Mr. Glen Mauer

species listed as endangered or threatened, or other priority species were observed during
our field investigationa, nor are any mapped for the site by WDFW (2014). Category 3
wetlands are those that have been severely disturbed by human activities or are newly
emerging with little vegetation diversity. The wetland on the Elliot Farm site does not
meet either the Category 1 or Category 3 criteria and therefore meets the City of Renton’s
criteria as a Category 2 wetland. Under the City of Renton code, Category 2 wetlands are
provided with a standard buffer width of 50 feet.
LIMITATIONS
We have prepared this report for the exclusive use of the Pacific Properties, Inc. and their
consultants. No other person or agency may rely upon the information, analysis, or
conclusions contained herein without permission from Pacific Properties, Inc.
The determination of ecological system classifications, functions, values, and boundaries
is an inexact science, and different individuals and agencies may reach different
conclusions. With regard to wetlands, the final determination of their boundaries for
regulatory purposes is the responsibility of the various resource agencies that regulate
development activities in wetlands. We cannot guarantee the outcome of such agency
determinations. Therefore, the conclusions of this report should be reviewed by the
appropriate regulatory agencies prior to any detailed site planning or construction
activities.
We warrant that the work performed conforms to standards generally accepted in our
field, and that this work was prepared substantially in accordance with then-current
technical guidelines and criteria. The conclusions of this report represent the results of
our analysis of the information provided by the project proponents and their consultants,
together with information gathered in the course of this study. No other warranty,
expressed or implied, is made.
Thank you for the opportunity to prepare this material for you. If you have any questions,

RE: Preliminary Results of the Cultural Resources Assessment for the Elliott Farm Property
Dear Mr. Levitt,
Per your request, the following provides a brief summary of the results of the cultural resources
assessment for the Elliott Farm property, the technical report is in progress. No significant cultural
resources were identified during the course of this investigation.
Prior to field investigations, SWCA reviewed archaeological survey and site inventory records using the
Washington Information System for Architectural and Archaeological Records Data (WISAARD)
maintained by the Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP). This
research identified no known pre-contact sites in the project parcel. The c. 1906 Elliott Farm complex,
including the farm house and outbuildings, had been recorded on a King County Historic Sites Survey
Inventory Form in 1978 (Wissel 1979) and nominated as a King County Landmark in 1990 (Younger and
Quackenbush 1990). After the parcel was annexed to the City of Renton in 2006, the structures
associated with the farm were demolished. Present day aerial photos show the remains of foundations
from outbuildings on the property.
Fieldwork was conducted on July 29-30, 2016 and included pedestrian survey of the project area and
excavation of 26 shovel probes (SPs). SPs measured 40 cm (15 inches) in diameter and were excavated
to roughly one-meter (3-feet) below ground surface. Spoils from each were screened through ¼-inch
mesh. Sediments in shovel probes were highly variable due to historical and modern disturbance.
Disturbed areas include fill deposits of variable thickness, especially in the vicinity of modern utilities
and historical development. Natural sediments consist of silt, sand, and gravel alluvium. No significant
cultural materials were encountered in any of the SPs.
Foundation slabs from several of the former outbuildings were documented, and a Washington State
Site Inventory Form will be completed and submitted to the DAHP. No demolition debris or isolated
artifacts associated with the former Elliott Farm were identified during survey of the parcel. The Elliott
Farm archaeological site fails to meet significance criteria and is not recommended eligible for listing on
the National Register of Historic Places. No significant cultural resources were observed during this
assessment. SWCA does not recommend any further cultural resources investigation for this project
based on the current project area provided by Murray Franklyn. In the unlikely event that ground-
disturbing construction activities result in the inadvertent discovery of buried archaeological materials,
work should be temporarily suspended at that location and a professional archaeologist should
document and assess the discovery. DAHP should be contacted for any issues involving Native American
SWCA Environmental Consultants 2 INSERT DATE
cultural resources. In the unlikely event that human remains, either in the form of burials, isolated
bones or teeth, or other mortuary items are discovered during construction, work in the area of
discovery should be stopped immediately and the discovery area should be secured. Local law
enforcement, DAHP and affected Tribes should be contacted immediately. No additional excavation
should be undertaken until a process has been agreed upon by these parties. No exposed human
remains should be left unattended.
If you have any questions or comments regarding the results of the field investigation, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely
Michele Parvey, M.A. RPA

Proposed site improvements at the referenced project include construction of a wall at the
rear of lots 26-33, near the shared property line. The soil cut is necessary to create a flat pad
for home construction on these lots.
I visited the site last week to assess the potential impacts of the excavation to offsite trees. I
measured the DBH and driplines, and I identified 5 offsite trees.
I calculated limits of disturbance (LOD) for each tree. They are listed below as radii in feet
from the trunk. They are determined using rootplate1 and trunk diameter,2,3,4 and ISA Best

These are the minimum distances from the center of the tree for a soil cut deeper than 9”
below existing grade. These distances also assume a single linear cut past the tree, and on
only one side of the tree, and that no branches are harmed or will need to be pruned to
accommodate the excavation.
The exhibit below identifies 5 trees on the abutting parcel with driplines and limits of
disturbance shown. (Tree 2 is on the project site and will be removed.) Tree attributes are
included in a separate table.
The LODs of all 5 offsite trees are south of the shared boundary, and none of the trees will
be negatively impacted by the proposed cut along the property line.
Protection along the property line is adequate to preserve the stability and existing
conditions of these trees.

Mark,
We will use 2 street names based on the responses from King County and others to keep consistent with the addressing
grid.
The street coming directly off Maple Valley will be 142nd Ave SE until it hits the bend/Tract E.
Then the rest of the street will be SE 153rd Pl.
I will work on figuring out house numbers, but hopefully that takes care of your immediate request. This one is a bit
tricky!!!

8.0 CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER POLLUTION PREVENTION PLAN (CSWPP) ANALYSIS
AND DESIGN
A. Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Plan Analysis and Design
The erosion and sediment control plans were prepared in accordance with the 2009 King
County Surface Water Design Manual, and standard industry practices throughout the
construction process to limit the amount of sediment traveling into the downstream
systems.
The BMPs being proposed include a stabilized rocked construction entrance, silt fence
where needed, NGPE fencing, straw mulch for the areas that reach final grade in the lot
areas, V-ditches with rock check dams, temporary sediment ponds, and hydro seeding.
Clearing limits are shown on the final engineering plans.
Two temporary sediment ponds have been placed at the downstream drainage points of
the project. A sediment pond (sediment pond #1) is located at the northwest corner and
one a sediment trap is located at the northeast corner (sediment trap #2). Sediment pond
#1 has a basin area of 3.29 acres. Sediment trap #1 has a basin area of 1.43 acres.
The WWHM program was used to size the sediment pond and sediment trap. The full basin
area was assumed to be landscape (grass) area. The 2-year predicted flow rate was used
to size the sediment trap and the 10-year flow rate was used to size the sediment pond.
Sediment Trap #1 (NE CORNER):
S.A. = 2 x Q2/0.00096 = 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
Q2 = 0.134 (See WWHM calculations)
S.A. = 0.134 x 2080 = 279 sf
S.A. Required = 279 sf
S.A. Provided = 1,015 sf
Sediment Pond #1 (NW corner):
S.A. = 2 x Q10/0.00096 = 2080 square feet per cfs of inflow
Q10 = 0.745 (See WWHM calculations)
S.A. = 0.745 x 2080 = 396 sf
S.A. Required = 1,550 sf
S.A. Provided = 1,630 sf
· Find Size of Dewatering Orifice:
A0 = SA(2H)0.5 SA = 1,550 sf
0.6 x 3,600Tg0.5 H = 3.5 feet
T = 24 hours
G = 32.2 ft/s2
A0 = 1,550(2 x 3.5)0.5
0.6 x 3,600 x 24 x 32.20.5
A0 = 0.0139 sf
21397.002-TIR.docx
· Find Orifice Diameter:
D = 24 x p
0A =13.54 x 0A 13.54 x √0.0139
D = 1.60 inches
B. Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill (SWPPS) Plan Design
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) will be prepared with the final
engineering plan approval process. The SWPPP report will be prepared following the
Department of Ecology (DOE) format and will be kept on-site during all construction
activities. The SWPPP report will include a narrative discussion of construction BMP’s that
will be implemented during construction, based on the 13 required elements as defined by
DOE. The SWPPP report will also outline inspection, monitoring, and reporting
requirements to meet the requirements of the NPDES permit.
A Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Spill (SWPPS) Site Plan is also included in the
construction plans. This plan provided suggested locations for:
· equipment parking/maintenance areas
· chemical storage areas with secondary containment
· construction materials and construction waste storage areas
· truck wheel washout areas
This plan also provides general locations of erosion control such as silt fencing, temporary
sediment traps, construction entrances, and clearing limits.
The site is generally underlain by alluvial soils. A seasonally high groundwater table will be
present during the wet winter and early spring months.
Potential Spill Sources or Releases
Potential spill sources during construction will include materials and equipment brought on-
site. Potential spill sources include; fueling, lubricating oil, hydraulic oil, backhoes,
bulldozers, water trucks, support trucks, lighting units, pumps, and generators. Equipment
staging and maintenance areas for fueling, hazardous materials, and hazardous waste
materials have been designated on the SWPPS. Construction debris will be present during
demolition of the existing on-site buildings. No fuel tanks, gasoline, oils and hydraulic fuels
will be stored on-site.
Control Pollutants
Pollutants other than sediment will be controlled as part of the implemented SWPPS plan.
Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles that may result in discharge or
spillage of pollutants to the ground or surface water runoff will be conducted using spill
prevention measures. Contaminated surfaces will be cleaned immediately following any
discharge or spill incident. Spills will be reported within 24 hours. Emergency repairs may
be performed on-site using temporary plastic placed beneath and, if raining, over the
vehicle.
21397.002-TIR.docx
Concrete truck chutes and pumps shall be washed out only into formed areas awaiting
installation of concrete or asphalt. Unused concrete remaining in the truck and pump shall
be returned to the originating batch plant for recycling. Hand tools including, but not limited
to, screeds, shovels, rakes and trowels shall be washed off only into formed areas awaiting
installation of concrete or asphalt. When no formed areas are available, washwater and
leftover product shall be contained in a lined container or in a sump designed to receive
the materials. Contained concrete shall be disposed of in manner that does not violate
groundwater or surface water quality standards. Recommended BMP’s include Concrete
Handling (BMP C151)
Spill Prevention and Containment
The following is a list of BMP’s that will be used for the project.
· Store and maintain equipment in a designated area.
· Reduce the amount of hazardous materials and waste by substituting non-hazardous
or less hazardous materials.
· Use secondary containment (drain pan) to catch spills when removing or changing
fluids.
· Use proper equipment (pumps, funnels) to transfer fluids
· Keep spill kits readily accessible.
· Check incoming vehicles for leaking oil and fluids.
· Transfer used fluids and oil filters to waste or recycling drums.
· Inspect equipment immediately, if necessary.
· Implement a preventative maintenance schedule for equipment and vehicles.
· Perform fueling in designated fueling area.
· Do not “top-off” tanks
· Use secondary containment (drain pan) to catch spills.
· Keep spill kits readily accessible.
· Inspect fueling areas routinely for leaks and spills.
· Monitor pollution prevention BMP’s and maintain records/reports of all inspections
using the worksheets at the end of this section.
Spill Response
Response in the first 15 minutes is critical to minimize the impacts to human health and
the environment and to minimize property damage and cleanup costs. The contractor will
respond immediately to spills and regulated materials. Spill response equipment shall be
stored in spill response kits located in a clearly marked and accessible area. The standard
approach toward spill response will be as follows:
· Stop operations.
· Stop the source of the spill.
· Use appropriate materials to absorb, berm, or cover the area to prevent further
contamination.
21397.002-TIR.docx
· Notify the construction manager.
· Determine the method of clean up required. All methods shall comply with the state
or local requirements to spill response.
· Contact a cleanup response firm if necessary.
Contact Personnel

SWPPS plan include:
Client: Quadrant Homes
CECL: - TBD
The contractor – TBD
A SWPPP report has also been prepared following the Department of Ecology (Ecology)
format and will be kept on-site during all construction activities. The SWPPP report
includes a narrative discussion of construction BMP’s that will be implemented during
construction, based on the 12 required elements as defined by Ecology. The SWPPP
report also outlines inspection, monitoring, and reporting requirements to meet the
requirements of the NPDES permit.

10.0 OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The Elliott Farms project does not contain any drainage or water quality facilities on-site. The project
is utilizing an existing off-site water quality wetpond that has been built for the developed flows from
the project and is currently being maintained by the city of Renton.
The onsite conveyance system consists of a series of catch basins and storm pipe which direct
stormwater flows to the existing off-site water quality facility. The onsite conveyance systems within
the future right-of-way and public drainage easements will be maintained by the city of Renton. The
future right-of-way is depicted as Road A.
The catch basins and storm pipes located within the private alley’s, shown as Tracts B, C and E
will be owned and maintained by the homeowner’s association. The individual lot storm stubs
outside the right-of-way and the catch basins and storm pipes in Tracts A and F will be maintained
by the homeowner’s association.
The drainage system along WA-169 consisting of a series of catch basins and storm pipes that
outlet to the existing ditch, will be owned and maintained by the city of Renton.
Maintenance of the stormwater facilities in the areas that will be owned and maintained by the
homeowner’s association will be conducted on an annual basis or as pre-scribed in the
maintenance requirements shown in this section.

Yellowing: possible Nitrogen (N) deficiency. Poor growth: possible
Phosphorous (P) deficiency. Poor flowering, spotting or curled leaves, or weak roots or stems: possible Potassium
(K) deficiency.
Plants are healthy and appropriate for site conditions
Inadequate soil nutrients and
structure
In the fall, return leaf fall and shredded woody materials from the landscape to the
site when possible
Soil providing plant nutrients and structure
Excessive vegetation growth Grass becomes excessively tall (greater than 10 inches); nuisance weeds and other
vegetation start to take over.
Healthy turf- “grasscycle” (mulch-mow or leave the clippings) to build turf health
Weeds Preventive maintenance Avoid use of pesticides (bug and weed killers), like “weed & feed,” which damage
the soil
Fertilizer needed Where fertilization is needed (mainly turf and annual flower beds), a moderate
fertilization program should be used which relies on compost, natural fertilizers or slow-release synthetic balanced fertilizers
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocols for fertilization followed
Bare spots Bare spots on soil No bare spots, area covered with
vegetation or mulch mixed into the underlying soil.
Compaction Poor infiltration due to soil compaction
• To remediate compaction, aerate
soil, till to at least 8-inch depth, or further amend soil with compost and
re-till
• If areas are turf, aerate compacted areas and top dress them with 1/4 to
1/2 inch of compost to renovate them
• If drainage is still slow, consider investigating alternative causes (e.g.,
high wet season groundwater levels, low permeability soils)
• Also consider site use and protection
from compacting activities
No soil compaction
Poor infiltration Soils become waterlogged, do not appear to be infiltrating. Facility infiltrating properly
Erosion/Scouring Erosion Areas of potential erosion are visible Causes of erosion (e.g., concentrate flow entering area, channelization of runoff) identified and damaged area stabilized (regrade, rock, vegetation, erosion control
matting).For deep channels or cuts (over 3 inches in ponding depth), temporary
erosion control measures in place until
permanent repairs can be made
Grass/Vegetation Unhealthy vegetation Less than 75% of planted vegetation is
healthy with a generally good appearance.
Healthy vegetation. Unhealthy plants
removed/replaced. Appropriate vegetation planted in terms of exposure, soil and soil
moisture.
Noxious Weeds Noxious weeds Listed noxious vegetation is present (refer to current County noxious weed list). No noxious weeds present.
