RE: Critical Areas – Existing Conditions Letter Report
Dear Ms. Ding:
This letter provides the Executive Summary for the Critical Areas – Existing Conditions Letter Report.
The full report is attached for your review.
Executive Summary
The attached Letter Report prepared by Talasaea Consultants analyzes existing wetlands, stormwater
ponds, and other features at the subject property commonly known as Longacres (the“Campus”) in
compliance with City of Renton’s critical areas regulations (RMC 4-3-050). The Letter Report informs
the entitlement and development of a proposed Sounders FC training facility (the “Site”), located on a
portion of the Campus). Figure 4 provides a Site Plan for the Sounders FC training facility.
The Campus has been subject to various developments over the past century, including the Longacres
horse racetrack and a Boeing Headquarters. These developments have resulted in extensive modifications
to the Campus, including development of existing structures, stormwater management systems, on-site
wetland mitigation, driveways, and surface parking.
The Sounders FC training facility proposal includes the development of five new soccer training pitches,
a keeper training area, the development of a new maintenance facility and restroom facilities, the use of a
portion of an existing structure, a deck addition to this existing structure, and realignment of existing trails
at the Site. The proposal also includes the removal of parking spaces. Figure 4 in the report provides a
site plan for the proposal.
The Letter Report concludes that only Wetland A is subject to the City’s critical areas regulations as it
relates to the entitlement and development of the Site. This Letter Report identifies the applicable buffer,
code-authorized buffer alteration and applicable mitigation.
The Letter Report also concludes:
