Wetland Report BERGER/ ABAM, A06112
Page i of i
I. Introduction
Following the wetland delineation completed by BERGER/ ABAM Engineers Inc.
(Attachment A) on 17 February 2006, the client, Daniel Bretzke, has requested the
completion of a site analysis for the suitability of buffer averaging in accordance with
Renton Municipal Code (RMC) (4)(3)(050)(M)(6f) and the associated guidance document
The Science of Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands by Andy
McMillan (2000).
Due to the presence of a large wetland on the southwest half of the subject site and the
location of the proposed lot lines; the client is requesting the authorization of buffer
averaging in accordance with the Renton Municipal Code. Because the characteristics and
widths of buffers necessary to maintain aquatic resource health and functions are
dependent on site-specific conditions (McMillan, 2000), the site has been analyzed for
potential to reduce the standard width for one 340-square-foot triangular section of buffer.
This document provides an assessment of site characteristics and analyzes existing
conditions and proposed mitigation to ensure that the regulatory buffer width is sufficient
to preserve wetland functions without being larger than necessary.
This report has been prepared by BERGER/ABAM Engineers Inc. for exclusive use by Mr.
Bretzke as supplemental documentation for land use actions with the City of Renton. No
other persons may use the information contained in this report for commercial purposes
without express written consent of both BERGER/ ABAM Engineers Inc. and Daniel
Bretzke.
II. Background Information
The subject site is currently divided into three separate tax parcels. The delineated
wetland and associated 50-foot regulatory buffer are situated across all three parcels and
occupy more than one-half of the 2.25-acre subject site (See Figure 1-Site Map). The
wetland area is primarily located on Parcel No. 1023059360 (hereby known as parcel "A").
Parcel A is 38,993 square feet in size. Of this, 25,293 square feet are occupied by wetland
and 8,335 square feet are regulated as wetland buffer, limiting the development potential
of this parcel to 5,365 square feet of area. Due to the location of the wetland, existing site
conditions, the orientation of the existing lot lines, and the proposed development design,
the applicant is requesting buffer averaging for a specific section of wetland buffer located
on Parcel A. See Figure 2 for a site plan identifying the area of proposed buffer reduction
and replacement.

Ill. Proposed Development
The proposed development for this parcel will include the construction of one single
family home. The site is zoned by the City of Renton as R-4, which allows up to four
single-family residences per acre. No wetland alterations are being proposed. The
proposed development plan will result in necessary buffer impacts; however, these
impacts will be minimized and mitigated to the greatest extent possible to allow for
reasonable use of the property and the placement of a building footprint while remaining
in compliance with other dimensional restrictions imposed by the City of Renton.
The proposed single-family residence will primarily be built adjacent to the wetland
buffer, and long-term prevention of human intrusion will be maintained by the placement
of a split rail fence with attached critical area easement signs prohibiting access to the
buffer and wetland. Due to the dimensional limitations of the site the proposal includes
the conversion of 340 square feet of wetland buffer to building footprint and the
dedication of 340 square feet of lot area as wetland buffer. The proposed development
also includes the enhancement of approximately 1,340 square feet of new and existing
buffer. See Figure 2 for a diagram of this exchange and enhancement. This proposal will
not cause a net loss of wetland buffer area and through enhancement, the proposal will
help to better protect areas of the wetland and existing naturally vegetated buffer that
provide the function of wildlife habitat.
IV. Existing Site Conditions
From across the wetland to the west and beginning at the wetland edge, the landscape
develops into rolling hills and climbs away from the elevation of the wetland. Land
within the buffer ranges from flat to 29 percent slope. The native vegetation on the
upland portion of this site has been cleared many years ago for use as pasture and in
conjunction with rural development. Currently, that portion of the wetland on Parcel A is
naturally buffered by an upland vegetated strip of forested and scrub-shrub canopies that
vary in width from 10 to approximately 40 feet beginning at the wetland edge and
continuing uphill towards the existing single family residence. This vegetated strip lacks
diversity and is primarily made up of Scots broom (Cytisus scoparius), Himalayan
blackberry (Rubus discolor), black cottonwood (Populus balsamifera ssp. trichocarpa) saplings,
and red alder (Alnus rubra). Evidence of past clearing in this area was observed (stumps
and charcoal) and the plant communities are not fully established and many of the trees
that make up the buffer are still saplings. This existing vegetated buffer would benefit
from enhancement, soil amendment, and the removal of invasive species.
Beyond this strip of vegetation and further upland within the wetland buffer, the site is
heavily impacted by grazing and rural development. Commonly characterized by bare
soil and emergent vegetation, erosion and poor soil stability are apparent (See Image
No. 1: Existing Buffer Conditions). The long presence of ungulates has degraded portions
of the wetland buffer by striping it of topsoil and inhibiting regeneration of vegetation in
the area. This area would benefit from revegetation through restoration and the removal
of grazing animals (See Image No. 2: Grazing Animals in Buffer). Section VII of this

V. Proposed Buffer Averaging
Renton Municipal Code (RMC) (4)(3)(050)(M)(6f) states that
"Standard wetland buffer zones may be modified by averaging buffer
widths. Upon applicant request, wetland buffer width averaging may be
allowed by the Department Administrator. .. "
An applicant may request the use of buffer averaging to reduce the wetland buffer in a
specific area to help facilitate the placement of a building footprint on a site that is
dimensionally limited by wetlands and associated buffers. This provision is especially
oriented to a site with varying levels of sensitivity, degraded conditions, and historic uses
within the regulatory buffer. There are seven criteria that must be met for an application
to be considered for buffer averaging. The criteria are identified below followed by a
qualifying statement.
1. That the wetland contains variations in ecological sensitivity or there are existing physical
improvements in or near the wetland and buffer .
The 50-foot regulatory buffer surrounding the Honey Creek wetland consists of areas of
varying sensitivity. This is due to existing developments within the buffer and
degradation of buffer conditions from historic grazing and rural development. The
proposed buffer reduction through averaging includes a buffer creation and enhancement
element as described in Section VII of this report. Image No. 3 below is a photo of the

conditions of the proposed area of buffer reduction.
I mage No . 3: Existing Conditions of Proposed Buffer Reduction Area
11 . That width averaging will not adversely impa ct th e wetland fu.nction and va lues .
The proposed buffer width averaging will result in no net loss of buffer. The proposed
averaging will not a dversely impact the wetland function and values because the
proposed buffer averaging will reduce the buffer in an area that is already impacted and
devoid of vegetation and that provides no function or value as buffer. The proposed
buffer averaging will also widen the buffer in an area that is vegetated through buffer
creation and will enhance the buffer through a buffer enhancement plan providing
additional protection to the wetland functi o n and values. See Section VII of this report for
a description of the buffer enhancement plan.
w . That th e total area contained wi thin th e wet land buffer aft er averaging is no less than that
contained within th e req uired standard buffer prior to averagin g.
The appli cant is proposing buffer averaging including a reduction in buffer of up to 50
percentto a triangular width of 25 feet for 340 square feet of wetland buffer and the
dedication of additional land as buffer for 340 square feet of nonbuffer area . The total area
of wetland buffer after averaging will be the same as the standard required buffer prior to
averaging, and ther e will be no net lo ss of wetland buffer. Buffer creation and
enhancement is also being proposed to ensure a hig her quality buffer as the result of this
action. See Figure 2 for a site map depicting buffer averaging.

iv. A site specific evaluation and documentation of buffer adequacy based upon The Science of
Wetland Buffers and Its Implications for the Management of Wetlands, McMillan, 2000, has
been conducted.
A site specific analysis of buffer adequacy has been completed. See Section VI below.
v. In no instance shall the buffer width be reduced by more than fifty percent (50%) of the
standard buffer or be less than twenty five feet (25') wide.
The applicant is proposing buffer averaging including a reduction in buffer of 50 percent
to a triangular width of 25 feet, converting 340 square feet of wetland buffer to building
footprint. To compensate the applicant is proposing the dedication of additional land as
buffer for 340 square feet of area on the same parcel. The applicant is not proposing the
reduction of buffer by more than 50 percent or to a width of less than 25 feet. See Figure 2
for a map of the proposed buffer averaging.
VJ. Buffer enhancement in the areas where the buffer is reduced shall be required on a case-by-
case basis where appropriate to site conditions, wetland sensitivity, and proposed land
development characteristics.
Buffer creation and enhancement in those areas where the buffer will be reduced and in
those areas where the buffer will be expanded is being proposed. See section VII below
for a complete description of the proposed buffer enhancement. The areas of proposed
buffer enhancement is also shown on Figure 2.
v11. Notification may be required pursuant to Subsection F8 of this section.
The applicant will comply with all noticing requirements of the City of Renton Municipal
Code.

Field observations support the presence of mammals
due to the presence of scat and tracks. However, a
mammal survey was not completed due to the scope
of this project. Expected species include deer mouse
(Peromyscus manicu/atus), raccoon (Procyon /otor),
and coyote (Canis la trans). A complete list of
expected mammals can be found in the King County

None known. The nearest aquatic habitat that would
support fish life is May Creek.
The presence of the northwestern salamander
(Ambystoma gracile) and the long-toed salamander
(Ambystoma macrodactylum) within the buffer area
are possible due to the presence of the adjacent
wetland. Additionally, garter snakes (Thamnophis
spp.) and northern alligator lizard (Elgaria coeru/ea)
may also be present; however, a herptile study was
not completed due to the limited scope of this study.
A complete list of expected herptiles can be found in
the King County Wildlife Habitat Profile, 1987.

Currently, due to the degraded condition of the buffer,
improvements made through the proposed buffer
enhancement plan will improve buffer conditions
through increased sediment and nutrient capture and
uptake. Surface water collected from roof and storm
drains associated with the development of this site will
be addressed through the City of Renton stormwater
review. The applicant has indicated that soil conditions
on site are amenable to infiltration. No additional
surface water is anticipated to be released to the
buffer or wetland as a result of this development.
No additional surface water is anticipated to be
released to the buffer or wetland as a result of this

Some light and glare from the adjacent proposed
residential development may affect the wetland and
buffer. The City of Renton Code allows the Reviewing
Official to condition permits "directing lights from
buildings or parking areas, or noise generating
activities, away from wetlands". The applicant will
comply with all conditions placed on the building
permit. Additionally, the proposed site plan focuses all
residential activities to the northeast side of the
property on the opposite side of the structure from the
wetland.
A split rail fence to restrict entry into the wetland and
buffer will be constructed in conjunction with the
placement of critical areas signs along the fence and
buffer boundary. This will assist in restricting access to
the buffer and wetland, and will also raise awareness
of the importance of protecting wetland resources.

Dear Mr. Bretzke:
The City of Renton has completed processing the above referenced lot line adjustment and has
forwarded the final mylars to King County for recording.
Please note the recording of the lot line adjustment map alone does not transfer ownership of
property. If necessary, prepare and record a deed transferring ownership of the portion of land
depicted in the lot line adjustment map. City Staff recommends that the legal description for this
document be prepared by a surveyor. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure this document
is properly prepared and recorded with the County.
If you have any further questions regarding this lot line adjustment, please contact me at ( 425)

Bretzke-Rogers Lot Line Adjustment, LUA-06-088-LLA
Format and Legal Description Review
Bob Mac Onie and I have reviewed the above referenced lot line adjustment submittal and have
the following comments:
Comments for the Applicant:
The existing and adjusted new lot lines for all of the lots (Sheet 2 of 2) are difficult to see. Said
lines are barely discemable on the review document we received. Adjust as is needed. There are
also several other lines extending southerly from the private ingress, access and utilities easement
(Lots C and D) which serves no obvious purpose.
The surveyor should stamp the draft submittal and note that it is a "DRAFT" or
"PRELIMINARY".
The scale is noted as I" = 40'. The drawing is not shown at that scale.
The references to the existing "PARCELS" (A, B, C and D) on the lot line adjustment suhmittal
(Sheet 2 of 2) includes too much information that is not needed. Remove the tax lot numbers, the
area and zoning information. Also, the arrows noting the existing lot lines should be removed.
The "LEGEND" and drawing are not in agreement (the "NEW PROPERTY LINE" is not shown
on the drawing with a dark line, the "CENTERLINE OF ROAD" does not note the "CL" on the
drawing, the "EDGE OF WETLANDS" line is not noted at the same scale on the drawing, etc.).
Note, on the lot line adjustment drawing, that the "INGRESS, EGRESS EASEMENT" is new and
private. Add "UTILITIES" to the easement reference, if it applies.
Remove "IS TO BE CREATED UPON THE RECORDING OF THIS LOT LINE
ADJUSTMENT" from the PRIVATE EASEMENT FOR INGRESS EGRESS & UTILITIES
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT block (Sheet I of 2). SaiJ easement is established when the

property owners quitclaim to each other those subject properties newly adjusted and encumbered
by the proposed easement.
See the attachments for circled items that need to be corrected.
Provide a means of locating the wetland boundary (NGPE) and buffer(?) on the drawing.
Comments for the Project Manager:
Is the private "Agreement Between Daniel and Fumiko Brctzkc and Larry Rogers" document to
be recorded with the lot line adjustment? If it is, then reference said document on the lot line
adjustment submittal, and provide a space for the recording number thereof. If not, then have the
two property owners record said document themselves after the LLA recording. NOTE: Said
document notes a dimension (30' X 174') for the quitclaim area between the two property
owners. Is that correct?
Sewer easements are also mentioned in the agreement document. Are they to be noted on future
short plat submittals? No
Is explicit access language needed ( on the LLA submittal) for the City to access the NGPE area''

Prunus emarginata var. mollis
bitter cherry,
narrow leaf cherry
Description: This deciduous native grows as a large shrub or small tree, to heights of20-50
feet tall, and has shiny, reddish-brown bark with thin, horizontal stripes. Leaves are
alternate, 2-4 inches long, oval to oblong, with rounded tips and fine teeth on the margins;
and bright to dark-green in color, turning bright-yellow in the autumn before they fall.
Flowers are small, white to pinkish, and form loose, flat-topped clusters of 5-10 flowers.
The small cherries are bright-red when ripe. Another cherry native to Western Washington
is P. virginiana var. demissa (common chokecherry), which can be distinguished from P.
emarginata by its flowers and fruit being in long clusters of more than ten, its darker
(purple to black) cherries, and its strikingly silver bark.
Habitat: Both species occur on dry to moist sites, in full sun to partial shade, though P.
virginiana prefers settings that are slightly more open. Both are intolerant of full shade.
Advantagcsillisadvantages: P. emarginala makes a stately ornamental tree in open,
conifer forests. The fruits of both species arc an important food source for birds and small
mammals (especially in early winter), and deer and elk feed on the leaves and twigs.
Provides nesting sites for cavity-nesting birds, mammals, and sometimes bees. Plants are
short-lived (40-60 years).
Propagation: Both species grow best from seed. Collect fruit when fully mature (July to
September for P. emarginata; late August to September for P. virginiana). Remove pulp,
keep soaking time to a minimum to avoid damage to seeds. Sow liberally in the fall. Seed
not sown in the fall must be cold-stratified for 3-4 months to break seed dormancy.
Seedlings under six feet tall can be salvaged.
Suitable Growing Environment: partial shade and well-drained soils (canopy)
sun and moist soils (canopy)
sun and well-drained soils (canopy)

Tltuja plicata
western redccdar,
Pacific redcedar, giant arborvitae
Description: This evergreen conifer can grow over 200 feet tall, with a massive (3-10 feet
in diameter) tapering trunk that flares at the base to form buttresses. Bark is thin, shaggy,
reddish, and easily peels off into long strips. Needles are flat, overlapping like scales, and
are shiny bright-green above, and paler on the underside with white markings. The needles
form flattened sprays on drooping branches that turn up at the tips. Cones are clustered near
the ends of branches, and are bluish-green when young, becoming brown, half-inch, tulip-
shaped cones with woody scales.
Habitat: Prefers moist to swampy soils. Full sun to full shade, though seedlings require
some shade. Tolerates seasonal flooding and perennially-saturated soils.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Aromatic, long-lived (up to 1000 years), and fairly rot-
resistant. An excellent choice for wetland and riparian sites, as it thrives in wetter soils
better than other evergreens. Forms a shallow, widely-spreading root system, and creates
exceptionally durable, large woody debris in streams and on the forest floor. Though it
naturally becomes a massive tree, it responds to pruning by sprouting new foliage along the
trunk (unlike many conifers), and so can be made into a hedge. Seeds are eaten by
numerous species of birds. Deer and elk browse seedlings. Provides nesting sites and cover
for many species of birds and small mammals. Plants host butterfly caterpillars. Despite its
shallow roots, it tends to be windfirm except in very wet sites.
Propagation: Easily grown from seeds or by layering. Collect cones early September to
October, and dry to remove seeds. Do not de-wing the seeds. Seeds can be sown right away,
or in the spring without any pretreatment. Seedlings under three feet tall salvage well.
Hardwood cuttings can also be used.
Suitable Growing Environment: deep shade and moist soils (canopy)
partial shade and well-drained soils (canopy)
sun and moist soils (canopy)

Cornus nuttallii
Pacific dogwood,
western flowering dogwood, mountain dogwood
Description: This deciduous tree usually grows 20-30 feet tall with an irregularly shaped
trunk and smooth, dark bark that develops rectangular scales with age. Twig ends curve
upward, and branchings are often in whorls of four, making branch tips look somewhat like
candelabras. Leaves are opposite, 3-5 inches long, generally oval with a sharp tip, and deep
to bright green above, paler below. Leaf veins are in opposite pairs that parallel the curves
of the leaf'. and leaf edges are smooth or wavy. In autumn, leaves tum dull-to pinkish-red
before falling. Trees flower April to June, and some individuals flower a second time in
August or September. When in flower, trees are covered with numerous sets of four to six
large (% -2% inches long), creamy white to pale pink floral leaves which encircle the
inconspicuous true flowers (which are small and greenish-white). Clusters of plum-like
fruits are produced in the fall.
Habitat: Moist, well-drained soils. Partial to full shade. A common understory tree in open
to fairly dense, mixed forests, though it may not produce fruit in heavy shade. Found
throughout most of our region.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Its attractive branching pattern, flowers, fruits, and fall foliage
make this a beautiful tree in all seasons. Once established, it can do without summer
watering, and is long-lived (to 150 years). Very shade tolerant. Plants host butterfly
caterpillars. Birds, especially band-tailed pigeons, eat fruit clusters. Deer browse on twigs
and foliage. Many trees develop a fungal infection which causes large, brown blotches on
the leaves and sometimes premature death of the plant. Trunks must be protected against
damage from lawn mowers, as this can expose trees to the fungus. Tnmks should also be
partially shaded to prevent sunburn damage.
Propagation: Seed is the best method. Collect fruit as soon as ripe (September to October),
before the birds get them. One source says they can be sown as is, while another
recommends removing the pulp. Plants under three feet high can be salvaged. Plants in your
yard can probably be multiplied by layering small branches.

Cornus unalaschkensis
(formerly called C. canadensis var. intermedia, but see note under
Propagation)
bunchberry,
bunch berry dogwood, dwarf dogwood, dwarf come!
Description: This perennial ground cover grows 2-10 inches tall and, when in flower, looks
like a miniature dogwood with its whorl of leaves topped by a dogwood-like flower.
Upright stems arise in the spring or early summer, and support a terminal whorl of 4-7
leaves. Leaves are 1-3 inches long, pointed, oval, and have parallel veins. Flowers appear
May to June, with four pure-white or purple-tinged "petals" (actually modified leaves that
surround the inconspicuous real flowers). Fruits are small (about V. inch in diameter), bright
orange to bright red, single-seeded berries.
Habitat: Usually near the coast, in moist coniferous forests and along the edges of bogs.
Where there is a lot of precipitation, it may grow on stumps and on tree trunks. Prefers acid
soils that are somewhat damp for most of the year. Partial to full shade.
Advantagesillisadvantages: This beautiful ground cover is particularly delightful when in
bloom, and will form extensive beds. Birds eat the berries, and grouse eat the buds.
Propagation: Can be salvaged (which must be done while the leaves are still on so you can
find them), but seedlings grown from seeds have a greater chance of survival. Collect seeds
August to October, as soon as the fruit are ripe. If sown right away, you don't need to
remove the flesh. Some seeds may not germinate until the second spring. Many nurseries
still use the former name. Plants sold locally are often from the East Coast and are not
native to our area.
Suitable Growing Environment: deep shade and moist soils (ground cover)

Amelanchier alnif olia
western serviceberry,
Pacific serviceberry, saskatoon serviceberry, saskatoon-berry, saskatoon
Description: This multi-stemmed, deciduous native usually grows I 0-12 feet tall, and has
smooth, dark gray to reddish bark. Leaves are alternate, thin, oval, 1-2 inches long, and
mostly smooth-edged on the lower half of the leaf, becoming regularly toothed on the outer
half, with veins running out to the teeth. Flowers are white with five long, thin petals, and
form showy, erect or droopy clusters. Fruits are small (Yz inch in diameter) and initially
dull-red, becoming dark purple when ripe, and look somewhat like small blueberries.
Difficult to identify in winter, but look for slender, curved, alternate buds and a larger
terminal bud. Two of the varieties found in Western Washington are var. humptulipensis
and var. semiintegrifolia.
Habitat: In moist to dry areas, on well-drained soils; often in open conifer forests. Full sun
to partial shade. Common throughout the Northwest, frequently in thickets. Very drought-
tolerant.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Though largely unnoticed except when in bloom, its showy
flowers and delicious fruit make it a good ornamental plant for open, wooded sites, or
woodland edges. Can form soil-holding thickets via rooting branch tips. Provides good
wildlife cover. Foliage and new twigs are prized by deer and elk. Fruits are eaten by many
birds and mammals. In some areas, it is susceptible to a disfiguring leaf rust disease.
Propagation: Can be grown from seed or salvaged seedlings. Collect fruit when ripe (in
late summer) and separate seeds from pulp. Seed not sown in the fall should not be allowed
to dry out, and needs to be cold-stratified for 3-6 months to break seed dormancy. Seedlings
under three feet tall can be salvaged. Plants in your yard can be layered to produce new
plants.
Suitable Growing Environment: sun and well-drained soils (understory)

Blechnum spicant
deer fern
Description: This 1-3 foot tall fern consists of sterile fronds encircling a central clump of
fertile fronds. Both types of fronds have widely-spaced, oblong leaflets that become
progressively smaller as one moves from the middle of the frond toward either end. The
surrounding sterile fronds are evergreen and frequently lie on the ground, while the central
fertile fronds are deciduous and erect, with much narrower and often rolled-up leaflets.
Habitat: In moist, coniferous forests. Full sun (in moister areas) to full shade; prefers
shade, and takes dry shade well.
Advantages/Disadvantages: An attractive addition to appropriate landscapes. In some
areas, it is an important winter food for deer and elk.
Propagation: Can be salvaged.
Suitable Growing Environment: deep shade and moist soils (ground cover)

Asarum caudatum
wild-ginger
Description: This low-growing evergreen perennial can be identified by its large (2-5
inches across), shiny, heart-shaped leaves, and the lemony-ginger smell of its leaves when
bruised. Each leaf is attached to a hairy, 2-8 inch-tall stalk, and the stalks are in pairs from
each of the rhizome's nodes. The solitary, reddish-brown flowers arc rarely seen due to
concealing leaves, and produce a fleshy capsule.
Habitat; Common at low to middle elevations in moist, coniferous forests, in soils with a
high organic content. Partial to full shade.
Advantages/Disadvantages: Its beautiful leaves and willingness to spread by extensive
rhizomes makes it a popular choice for gardens.
Propagation: Easily grown from seed. Can also be grown from rhizome cuttings and by
transplanting rooted sections.
Suitable Growing Environment: deep shade and moist soils (ground cover)

Athyriumfilix-femina var. cyclosorum
lady fern
Description: This large (2-5 feet tall) fern has multiple fronds growing from a central
clump. Fronds are deciduous, bright yellow-green, lance-shaped, tapered at both ends, and
2-3 times pinnate (though the smallest leaflets are just coarsely serrated).
Habitat: Wet meadows, forested wetlands, bogs, and nearly any damp area. In moist to
wet, organic soils. Full sun to full shade.
Advantages/Disadvantages: An excellent addition to wetland restoration projects due to its
rapid growth and adaptability to a variety of environmental conditions. It can also be used
as an ornamental plant in a wet site. Provides cover for wildlife.
Propagation: Easily salvaged during the dormant season (November to March), when the
dead fronds can be used to locate individual plants. Once established in a favorable
environment, it spreads readily from spores. Salvaged plants or plants already in your yard
can be multiplied by division.
Suitable Growing Environment: deep shade and moist soils (ground cover)
sun and moist soils (ground cover)

Brctzke-Rogers Lot Line Adjustment, LUA-06-088-LLA
Format and Legal Description Review
Bob Mac Onie and I have reviewed the above referenced lot line adjustment submittal and have
the following comments:
Comments for the Applicant:
Note the City of Renton land use action number and land record number, LUA-06-088-LLA and
LND-30-0318, respectively, on both drawing sheets of the lot line adjustment submittal, in the
spaces already provided.
The "City of Renton Bench Mark No. RENT2 l O I" does not qualify as a tie to the City of Renton
Horizontal Survey Control Network. Provide a second tie. The geometry will be checked when
the second tic is provided.
Change the county street name ( 148'" Ave SF.) to the city designated street name (Nile Ave NE)
on the "VICINITY MAP" (Sheet I of 2) and on the lot line adjustment drawing (Sheet 2 of 2).
There is no need to prefix the lot names with "NEW" (Sheet 2 of 2). "LOT A", etc. is sufficient.
It appears that the legal description for "PARCEL C" (Sheet I of 2) is missing the exception for
the north 30 feet thereof.
Change all "BOUNDARY LINE ADJUSTMENT" references ( on the lot line adjustment
submittal) to LOT LINE ADJUSTMENT.
Note all easements, covenants and agreements of record on the drawing, if any.
Note that the properties to the east, west and south of the subject parcel are unplatted. The zoning
of these properties and the tax parcel numbers are not needed.

The city will provide addresses for the lots not currently addressed, as soon as possible. Note all
four addresses on the lot line adjustment drawing.
On the final lot line adjustment submittal, remove all references to the wetland symbols, setback
lines, proposed buildings, utilities facilities and other items not directly impacting the
subdivision. Setbacks will be determined at time of issuance of building permits.
Do note encroachments on the final submittal, if any.
Note that if there are easements, restrictive covenants or agreements to others (City of Renton,
etc.) as part of this subdivision, they can be recorded concurrently with the lot line adjustment.
The lot line adjustment submittal and the associated document(s) are to be given to the Project
Manager as a package. The lot line adjustment will be recorded first (by King County). The
recording number(s) for the associated document(s) arc to be referenced on the lot line adjustment
drawing. Provide spaces for the recording numbers thereof.
The new 25' wide/20' wide easement for ingress, egress and utilities (?) is shown for the benefit
of future owners of proposed subdivisions and lots. Note on the drawing that said easement is
"NEW" and "PRIVATE". Reference said easement on the lot line adjustment drawing, and
provide a space for the recording number thereof.
Add the following Declaration of Covenant language on the face of the subject drawing, if the
previous paragraph applies:
DECLARATION OF COVENANT:
The owners of'the land embraced within this lot line adjustment, in return for the
henefit to accrue from this subdivision, hy siJ;ning hereon covenant and agree to
convey the beneficial interest in the new easement shown on this lot line adjustment
to any and all future purchasers of the lots, or of'any subdivisions thereof This
covenant shall run with the land as shown on this lot line adjustment.
The private ingress, egress and utility(?) easement requires a "New Private Easement for
Ingress, Egress and Utilities Maintenance Agreement" statement. Note the attachment on
the drawing.
Comments for the Project Manager:
Is a Native Growth Protection Area Easemeut statement (for wetlands) needed'/
Fee Review Comments:
Lots within or affected by the lot line adjustment are subject to the city's special charges. if any.

Dear Mr. Bretzke:
The Development Planning Section of the City of Renton has determined that the
subject application is complete according to submittal requirements and. therefore, is
accepted for review.
You will be notified if any additional information is required to continue processing your
application.
Please understand that by separating the lot line adjustment from the short platting
process, it is not possible for the various departments to review the future short plat at
this time. We recommended combining the processes. Review and approval of the lot
line adjustment will in no way imply that the short plat the applicant intends to complete
in the future meets codes or would be approved.
Please contact me at (425) 430-7270 if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

The purpose of this lot line adjustment is to adjust the existing lots lines to allow for future short
plats of both Bretzke and Rogers property. The lot line adjustment process is also being done to
allow the sale of two existing lots.
In response to my pre-application meeting, I met with my neighbor Larry Rogers, who also had
a pre application meeting with the city of Renton. As a result of this meeting we agreed to create
a shared access and joint development of our separate property. An easement is being recorded
with the lot line adjustment to allow for future development of the lots.
The property contains a wetland, and associated buffers. A wetland delineation and report is
being submitted with this application. This lot line adjustment is requesting that buffer averaging
be approved on lot A of this Lot line adjustment, according to the wetland buffer averaging
analysis report prepared by Berger Abam Consulting Engineers, as attached in attachment B.
The future short plat of the lot C, will require a 70 feet wide lot adjacent to the private access
tract. A request to allow 70 instead of an 80 feet wide lot is made with this application. Building
setbacks will not be need to be modified, and there is adjoining lot is I 00 feet, thus the intent of
the code requiring an 80 feet wide lots adjacent to the private access tract is met.
As explained in the pre-application meeting, engineering for street improvements or drainage
would not be required at the time of the lot line adjustment, but will be required at the time of the
short plat submittal.
Sincerely
Daniel Bretzke

Subject: Stream Study
Wedgewood Lane Division 3
Renton, Washington
Dear Mr. Gilroy:
AlderNW
August 29, 2005
Project No. 40401
As requested, we have prepared a stream study for the Wedgewood Lane Division residential developm,.m to be
constructed in the City of Renton. We also prepared a Wetland Study for Wedgewood Lane Divisions l, 2, and 3,
dated August 15, 2005. That report describes existing conditions on each of the three proposed divisions with
respect to site wetlands. This report addresses the seasonal stream draining across the north end of Wedgewood Lane
Division 3 as well as Honey Creek which drains from north to south through the large wetland aloog the east side of
Wedgewood Lane Division 3.
Toe project involves worl<: for construction of a residential subdivision including three separate divisions as identified
on project maps by Core Design, Inc. Worl<: for the three divisions will be completed sequentially. This letter is
intended to accompany the Wetland Report dated August 15, 2005.
GENERAL SITE CONDITIONS
At present the Wedgewood Lane property is largely undeveloped except for an existing single family residence and
several outbuildings on the northwest comer of the site. The area adjacent to the residence includes lawn and
landscaping as well as area which has been in use as horse pasture.
Topographically, the property generally slopes gently down from the west line of Division 3 toward the wetland aloog
the east side.
Soils across the property and on much of the surrounding area are mapped as Alderwood gravelly sandy loam (Soil
Survey of King County, Washington, U.S. Soil Conservation Service, 1973). The Alderwood series is made up of
moderately well-<lrained soils that have a weakly to strongly consolidated substratum at depths of between 24 and 40
inches.

Streams are defined in the Renton Municipal Code (RMC 4-11-190) as follows:
-
"STREAM, CREEK, RIVER, OR WATERCOURSE: Any portion of a cbanne~ bed, bank, or bottom waterwatd of
the ordinary high water marl: in which fish may spawn, reside, or through which they may pass, and tributary waters
with defined beds or bank which influence the quality of fish habitat downstream. This includes watercowses which
flow Oil an -intermittent basis or which. fluctuate in levd during -~ year, and appli; t() the • bed of such -
watercourse whether or not the water is at peak level. This definition does not include irrigation of ditches, canals,
stormwater runoff devices, or other entirely artificial watercourses, except where they exist in a natural watercourse
which has been altered by humans or except where there are salmooids".
There are two seasonal streams within Wedgewood lane Divisoo 3. These include the seasonal stream originating
along Hoquiam A venue to the west and draining eastward where it crosses the north end of the project and ingot the
large wetland along the east side of the projectr. The upper reaches of Honey Creek drain from south to north
through the large wetland.
Honey Creek
This property is within the May Creek drainage sub-basin of the Cedar River Basin. Drainage from the property
flows eastward to Honey Creek which flows from south to north through the wetland on the property to the east.
Hooey Creek is tributary to May Creek, approximately 2 miles northwest of the property. The lower reaches of
Hooey Creek are identified as an unclassified stream on the King County maps.
The City of Renton Water Class Map identifies the lower reaches of Hooe Creek draining to May Creek as a Class 2
Water. Higher sections extending south and east to Union Avenue are identified as Class 3 water. The stream
section extending southward across Sunset Avenue and continuing south to SE I 16th St. along the north side of the
project area is identified as a Class 4 water. The steam is not shown on the Water Class Map as exttnding south of
SE I 16th St.
Honey Creek has its head waters within the wetland area to the south of Wedgewood Lane Division 3. It drains north
through the wetland and to a 24" diameter culvert in SE I 16th Street. Water moves through the wetland within a
.defined channel for most of the length across the site. There are short sections where the gradient is more flat, where
the channel is broad and poorly defined.
At the time of site observations in August, 2005, there was no flow within the stream channel through the wetland
and there was no flow through the culvert in SE I 16th Street. The stream stretch immediately downstream of
Wedgewood lane Division 3 has been identified on the City of Renton Water Class Map as a Class 4 Water. This
classification would also apply to the upstream stretch of the stream.
The standard buffer assigned for Class 4 water is 3 5ft.
No topographic survey has been coimpleted within the wetland area to idnetify the location of the drainage channel
within the wetland. The 35 foot buffer for the stream is contained within the fifty foot buffer for the wetland.

Storm Water Treatment Facilities
Stonn water run-off from the developed area will be treated in two separate stonn water treatment facilities to be
constructed on the east side of the project within proposed Division 3. Construction of the stonn water treatment
ponds will be completed as an initial construction phase.
Construction of the pond berms will involve temporary disturbance to the outer limits of the wetland buffer. The
extent of the work for construction of the stonn-watcr treatment ponds is illustrated on drawings prepared by CORE
Design and on the Site Development Plan Figure 3. Much of the buffer area affected by the pond construction is
currently occupied by Himalayan blackberry with scattered larger trees.
A planting plan will be prepared to replant the affected buffer areas with native trees and shrubs. This planting plan
will be designed to accelerate the establishment of native shrub habitat on the areas.
Sanitary Sewer Construction
Sanitary sewer service for the project will be provided by installation of a lift station along SE I 16th Street at the
north end of the project. This pwnp station will direct flows to existing sanitary sewer lines. Construction of the
pipe line to coonect with the pwnp station will require crossing a portion of the wetland and buffer immediately north
of the stonn water treatment pond. The wetland and buffer at this location has been subject to disturbance in the past
aod vegetation over the area is dominawl by Himalayan blackberry. Construction of the sanitary sewer line will also
cross the large off-site wetland and Honey Creek. This crossing is required to provide service for a proposed
residential development on the east side of the wetland.
Construction of the pipe line crossing will result in temporary disturbance to the wetland and the seasonal stream
channel.
As a condition of approval for construction of the sanitary sewer line, the affected areas of the wetland, stream and
wetland buffer will be required to be restored. The intent of the restoration plan will be to accelerate the
reestablishment of native vegetation on the affected areas of buffer and wetland. A final restoration plan will include
the following elements:
I. Construction Timing. Work to be completed within the stream and wetland should be completed during the
time period mid July through August when flows within the stream will be at a minimum. Work should be
completed by September to allow surface soils to stabifu.e before autumn rainy season resumes and the
stream flows increase. Before beginning any work in or adjacent to the stream, construction techniques
should be detennined and reviewed to assure that the work can be completed quickly and with minimal
disturbance.
2. Best Management Practices. The project should be carried out using best management practices including
the installation and maintenance of erosion control measures. These measures can include installation of silt
fences on either side of the creek to reduce movement of soil and material from the exposed soils of the back
filled trenches: use of diversion dam and or pipe to carry surface flows across the disturbed creek bed during
construction and until the creek bed is stabilized; construction techniques to limit the movement and

Seasonal Stream Corridor
..
There is a seasooal stream which flows from the wetland area off the northwest comer of the Wedgewood Lane
Project eastward and into the larger wetland aloog the east J!f'ORC{ty line. It enters the project area in Proposed
Division 3 near the northeast corner of proposed Division I. It flows approximately 450 feet from the project
boundary across Division 3 within a poorly defined channel before entering an extension of the large off-site wetland.
Himalayan blackberry (Ruhus discolor) is the predominant vegetation growing over the channel.
The intermittent stream crossing Division 3 of the Wedgewood Lane drains toward the larger off-site wetland which
includes Hooey Creek. As such it meets the criteria for inclusion as a stream. It meets the criteria for designation as
a City of Renton Class 4 water, beause it is intermittatt and does not include salmonid habitat.
The standard buffer assigned for Class 4 water is 35ft.
The drainage coures is generally about two feet in width as it flows across the property. Himalayan blackberry
(Ruhus discolor) is present as dense cover for most of the length. A full tree survey has not been completed for the
area. There are few scattered large trees along the stream corridor which would provide shading to the stream.
Vegetative Cover
Vegetation across the property is generally cbaracterized as Lowland mixed forest. This cover type designation is
based oo the habitat categories listed in the King County Wildlife Study Guidelines for SEPA (1993). Similar
categories are listed and descnbed in the King County Wildlife Habitat Pro.file (1987).
The majority of the property is occupied by second growth mixed forest with variation in the relative cover by
conifers and deciduous trees. Predominant trees are Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), western red cedar (Thuja
plicata), big leaf maple (A.cer macrophyllum), red alder (A/nus ruhra), and black cottonwood (Populus
balsamifera). Understory species present include Vme maple (Acer circinatum), salmoobeny (Rubus spectabilis),
and Himalayan blackberry (Ruhus discolor). Much of the property bad been accessible for horse pasture. Wrth the
removal of horses, Himalayan blackbeny has become established as a predominant shrub species over much of the
area.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT -/STREAM IMPACT'S
It is proposed to develop the Wedgewood Lane Division 3 property for construction of a residential development as
shown on project maps by Core Design, Inc. The project is being divided into three separate divisions with
construction for each division scheduled separately. Sanitary sewer pipe lines and a lift station to be located along
SE I 16th Street will be constructed in Division 3 to provide service for each of the three divisions. Storm water
treatment for each of the three divisions is also being provided in Division 3.

operation of equipment within the wetland/stream bed; stabifu.atiOD of disturbed surface soils using straw or
other soil stabifu.ation measures immediately after work is COOIJ>leted.
3. Creek Restoration. The creek bed should be restored with the pia£ement of gravels and cobbles. Diversion
pipes should be maintained as necessaiy until gravels are in place and the creek bed is stabiliz.ed.
-
4. Soi I Restoration. Surface soils from the trench should be preserved during excavatioo and used as the final
lift in back filling the trench line. These soils will c.ontain seed and other plant materials which will regrow
and provide partial restoration. If there is movement of IM:avy equipment over the surface soils resulting in
compaction, the surface soils should be tilled.
5. Vegetation restoration A vegdation restoration planting plan will be prepared when final plans are finalizoi
for the project. This planting plan will include details OD the number, spacing and species to be placed OD the
disturbed soils within the water line easement area. All plant materials to be included in the planting plan
will be native to the area, and to the extent possible species selected will be those native species present on
the property. Native trees and shrubs will be included. These plantings are illh:IJtbl to supplement natural
regeneration and to accelerate the establishment of native shrub cover OD the disturbed an:a. Over time as
the planted trees grow and mature there will be trees included on the area.
With the implementation of a restoration plan, the impacts to the buffer and wetland/stream can be minimiz.ed to the
extent possible and the disturbed areas returned to a stable condition, with native vegetative cover. A final
restoration plan will be prepared and submitted for review as final development plans are prepared.
Road Construction
Construction of the access road from SE ! 16th Street into Division 3 will require a crossing of the seasonal stream.
Under provisions of Renton Municipal Code 4-3--050.Lla "construction of vehicular or non-vehicular transportation
crossings may be permitted in accordance with an approved supplemental stream/lake study subject to the following
criteria:
a) The proposed route is determined to have the least impact on the environment, while meeting City
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Elements in RMC 4-6-060; and
b) The crossing minimiz.es the int.erruptiOD of downstream movement of wood and gravel; and
c) Transportation facilities in buffer areas shall not run parallel to the water body; and
d) Crossings occur as near to perpendicular with the water body as possible; and
e) Crossings are designed according to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Fish Passage Design
at Road Culverts, 1999, and the National Marine Fisheries Service Guidelines for Salmonid Passage at
Stream Crossings, 2000, or as may be updat.ed, or equivalent manuals as determined by the Responsible
Official; and
Project No. 4040 l

Mr. Patrick Gilroy
August 29, 2005
t) Seasonal work windows are determined and made a condition of approval; and
. .
Mitigation for the stream crossing is being provided by mbancing the vegetative cover along the stream.
Stream Mitigation
Approximately 40 linear feet of the seasonal stream, and approximately 2,000sq.ft of the stream~ will be impacted by
construction of the road way. The stream channel and buffer at this location is occupied by dense Himalayan
blackberry growth. As a seasonal stream there is no fish habitat which will be affi:cted by construction of the road
crossmg.
Mitigation to compensate for the impact to the seasonal stream for construction of the access road to Division 3 will
be provided by euliam:ing the vegetative cover along the stream cover. Approximately 180 linear feet of the stream
channel and more than 8, OOOsq .ft of the stream buffer is included in the mitigation area.
Mitigation work will involve removal and control of the Himalayan blackberry covering the stream corridor and
replanting with native trees and shrubs. This work will be carried out in conjunction with the work in the adjacent
wetlands. The Wetland report dated August 15, 2005 provides additional detail regarding the implementation of the
buffer and stream enhancerneut.
The final mitigation plan for the project will include: a detailed grading plan, temporary erosion control measures to
protect adjacent areas during construction, a detailed planting plan showing locations, munbers and size of species to
be installed, and a maintenance and monitoring plan to be carried out over the three year period following
construction. That plan will include the mitigation design for the stream impacts.
We trust the infonnation preserrted is sufficient for your current needs. Also refer to the Wetland report dated
August 15, 2005 for additional details and discussion of the stream and wetland mitigation. If you have any
questions or require additional infonnation, please call.
Sincerely yours,

I. Introduction
BERGER/ ABAM Engineers Inc. has been retained by Daniel Bretzke to conduct a wetland
delineation on the property known as 5521 SE 10th Street, Renton, Washington (King
County Tax Parcel Nos. 1023059358, 1023059359, and 1023059360). The site is located
within 510, T23N, RSE and the City of Renton incorporated limits (approximate Latitude
47.29 N and Longitude -122.08 W).
This report provides background information, methodologies and the results of the field
work. The field work was completed during a two-day period from 6 February 2006 to

B. Geomorph lc Context
The site is part o f the May Creek drainage basin and the Cedar River/Lake
Washington watershed as mapped in WRIA No. 8 and shown in Figure 2. The
geomorphology of this area consists of outwash till plains, terraces, and glacial till
plains (Gale, Pringle, and Snyder; 1973). The immediate area is characterized by
rolling hills and supports a complex of wetlands and uplands that has undergone
significant landscape alterations including clearing and filling activities. There are
three soils located on or near this site as shown in Figure 2 by the Soil Survey of King
County Area (Gale, Pringle, and Snyder; 1973). The mapping symbols and slope
classes of the three alde rwood subgroups are as follows.

The King Conservation District describes Alderwood soils as follows
"Moderately well-drained soils underlain by consolidated glacial till (hardpan) at a
depth of 24 to 40 inches. Alderwood soils formed in glacial deposits under conifers.
They occupy upland areas at elevations between 100 and 800 feet. The annual
precipitation is 35 to 60 inches, mostly rainfall between October and May. The frost-
free season is 150 to 200 days." (King Conservation District)
A typical Alderwood soil profile from O to 27 inches is a dark brown gravelly sandy
loam. From 27 to 60 inches, the soil takes a grayish brown weakly to strongly
consolidated glacial till characteristic (hardpan). Soil permeability is rapid in surface
layer and subsoil above hardpan material and very slow in the hardpan. The depth
to the seasonal high water table is 2 to 3 feet and the water-holding capacity is
seasonally low (summer) to seasonally high (winter) (King Conservation District).
Observations made on the landscape scale and during soil sampling were generally
consistent with the descriptions provided in the Soil Survey of King County Area
and by the King Conservation District.
C. Climate and Growing Season
1. Climate
Climatic information provided by the Soil Survey of King County Area on
pages 88-89 and in Table 10 illustrates that the climate influencing the site is
greatly tempered by weather systems that originate on the Pacific Ocean (Gale,
Pringle, and Snyder; 1973). Fairly warm, dry summers and cool, moist winters
are the prevailing conditions. A pronounced dry season occurs during the late
spring and summer months, with less than 10 days of cloudy or overcast
weather and very little precipitation falling in July and August. Rains are
frequent during the rest of the year, especially in late fall and winter. Average
precipitation is 37 inches per year in Seattle measured at the Seattle-Tacoma
International Airport. Snow is rare and typically melts quickly when it does
occur. Marine air masses regulate the area's moderate temperatures. Average
winter temperatures in the area average around 35° to 45°F, and summer
temperatures typically average 60° to 70°F (Gale, Pringle, and Snyder; 1973).
The combination of cool moist periods punctuated by distinct summer
droughts is one of the chief determinants of the hydrology of the site (Gale,
Pringle, and Snyder; 1973).
2. Growing Season
The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service currently defines the
growing season as the portion of the year when soil temperatures at 19.7 inches
below the soil surface are higher than biological zero (approximately 41 ° F)
(USDA, NRCS, 1996). Using information provided by the Soil Survey of King
County Area (Table 10) for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and consistent
with U.S. Anny Corps of Engineers guidance, the growing season can be
approximated for five years in ten (50 percent of the time) using the 28° F
Wetland Repo,t BERGER/ABAM, A06112
17 February 2006 Page 5 of 5
standard (Gale, Pringle, and Snyder; 1973). Using these criteria, the growing
season for the site occurs between 9 March and 17 November and is 253 days in
length.
D. Land-Use History
Historically, the primary uses of this landscape have been timber production, berry
production, row crops, pasture, and urban development. Low fertility and summer
drought have been limiting factors to extensive farming of this area. Douglas-fir,
western red cedar, western hemlock, red alder, and bigleaf maple are important tree
species on all slope classes. Black cottonwood can also be found in this area (Gale,
Pringle, and Snyder; 1973).
Recently, pressures of urban development have begun to re-alter the areas landscape
and previously platted lots are being divided into a greater number of smaller lots.
This redistribution of land rights and ownership has led to additional removal of
forested hill tops and has increased storrnwater runoff and erosion and has impacted
the adjacent wetland systems. The subject site, as illustrated in Figure 3, consists of
one home towards the top of the hill, and a large fenced horse area that appears to
have been graded to provide a flat area for the purpose of pasture. Due to this
ongoing land use, significant site erosion is apparent and this is impacting the
adjacent subject wetland through sheet flow.
Ill. Methodologies
A. Rationale for the Determination of the Subject Site Wetland Boundaries
The field work was completed during a two-day period from 6 February 2006 to 7
February 2006 pursuant to Renton Municipal Code (RMC) (4)(3)(050)(M)(4a) using
the procedures provided in the Washington State Wetlands Identification and
Delineation Manual, as developed by the Washington State Department of Ecology,
March 1997, Ecology Publication 96-94. Although the data collection and field study
associated with this delineation were not made during the growing season and
hydrologic observations were made following one of the areas wettest months on
record, all work was done in accordance with WAC 173-22-080 that states: "It is the
purpose of a delineation manual to provide information and methods that will allow
a delineator to make an accurate wetland delineation at any time of the year." For
this reason, field study and data collection was completed as required by the
Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, however,
experience and field judgment were also considered in delineating the wetland
boundary on the site.

B. Office Methods
Consistent with the scope of this project and procedures detailed in the Washington
State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, preliminary information
about the site and the immediate vicinity prior to completing the field work.
General information sources included the Soil Survey of King County Area, National
Wetlands Inventory Maps, both King County and City of Renton websites, and
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data, as well as public records available at the
City of Renton. In addition, aerial photographs taken in 2002 and topographic data
were reviewed and are depicted in Figure 3. Based on this information, it was
possible to make preliminary decisions about the wetland system based on guidance
from the Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual, Part IV,
Section B that helped to scope the completed field work, including the fact that the
wetland has been previously identified and accepted as a Type II wetland by the
City of Renton for adjacent development activities.
C. Field Delineation
The Washington State Wetlands Identification and Delineation Manual governs that
an area is not considered a regulated wetland if indicators/evidence of any one of
three defined parameters, including hydrology, soil, and vegetation are not observed
under normal environmental conditions to make a positive wetland determination.
Methods of evaluation for each of these parameters are as follows.
1. Hydrology Evaluation
Wetland RefK)rt
17 February 2006
Consistent with the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation Manual, the
presence of wetland hydrology can be determined by evaluating a variety of
direct and indirect indicators. In addition to hydrologic data/records
pertaining directly to the study area, hydrologic indicators are used to infer
wetland hydrology.
Field indicators of wetland hydrology listed in the Washington State Wetlands
and Delineation Manual include, but are not limited to, visual observation of
inundation and/or soil saturation, oxidized channels (rhizospheres) associated
with living roots and rhizomes, water marks on vegetation or fixed objects,
drift lines, water-born sediment deposits, water-stained leaves, surface scoured
areas, wetland drainage patterns, morphological plant adaptations, and hydric
soil characteristics.
According to the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation Manual, areas
that are inundated and/or saturated to the surface for a consecutive number of
days between 5 and 12.5 percent of the growing season may or may not be
wetlands. As outlined under "Climate and Growing Season for Wetland
Delineations" above, the growing season defined by the Soil Survey of King
County Area for Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, is 253 days in length.
Assuming the lower percentage, 5 percent of 253 days is 13 consecutive days.
Therefore, consistent with the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation
BERGER/ABAM, A06112
Page 8 of 8
Manual, an area must be inundated or saturated to the surface for 13
consecutive days during the growing season, which extends from 9 March to
17 November.
2. Soll Evaluation
Wetland Report
17 February 2006
The presence of hydric soils can be determined based on the criteria outlined in
the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation Manual. The definition of a
hydric soil is " ... a soil that formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or
ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic
conditions in the upper part" (USDA, NRCS, 1996). The definition of a hydric
soil is satisfied by the fulfillment of at least one of four technical criteria,
including the followingAs AAs :
(1) All Histels except Folistels and Histosols except Folists; or
(2) Soils in Aquic suborders, great groups, or subgroups, Albolls suborder,
Historthels great group, Histoturbels great group, Pachic subgroups, or
Cumulic subgroups that are:
(a) Somewhat poorly drained with a water table equal to 0.0 foot from
the surface during the growing season, or
(b) Poorly drained or very poorly drained and have either:
Water table equal to 0.0 foot during the growing season if textures
are coarse sand, sand, or fine sand in all layers within 20 inches; or
for other soils
(ii) Water table at less than or equal to 0.5 foot from the surface
during the growing season if permeability is equal to or
greater than 6.0 inches/hour in all layers within 20 inches; or
(iii) A water table at less than or equal to 1.0 foot from the surface
during the growing season if permeability is less than 6.0
inches/hour in any layer within 20 inches; or
(3) Soils that are frequently ponded for long or very long durations during
the growing season; or
(4) Soils that are frequently flooded for long or very long durations during
the growing season.
Fulfillment of the technical criteria for soil can be inferred by using a
combination of published soils information and field indicators. The indicators
available for determining whether a soil satisfies the basic definition and the
technical criteria for hydric soils include, but are not limited to the following:
the soil is a histosol, a histic epipedon is present, hydrogen sulfide odor is
present, the soil is gleyed, the soil has a depleted matrix, the soil has a low
chroma matrix with redoximorphic features (e.g., mottles), iron and/or
manganese concretions are present, the soil occurs in an aquic or peraquic soil
moisture regime, and the soil appears on the hydric soils list.

3. Vegetation Evaluation
\Ne tland Report
17 February 2006
For an accurate wetland determination to be made, the presence of
hydrophytic vegetation must also be identified consistent with the Washington
State We tlands and Delineation Manual. Species identifications and taxonomic
nomenclature follow that were found in A Field Guide to the Common
Wetland Plants of Western Washington and North-Western Oregon (Cooke
1997). Dominant species in each of the three strata (tree, sapling/shrub, and
herb) were identified. Dominant species are those species in each stratum that,
when ranked in descending order of abundance and cumulatively totaled,
i mmediately exceed 50 percent cover of the total dominance measure for that
stratum, plus any species that comprises at least 20 percent cover. Each
species' indicator status was assigned using the National List of Plant Species
that Occur in Wetlands: Northwest-Region IX (Reed 1988). A species
indicator status refers to the r e lative frequency with which the species occurs in
jurisdictional wetlands as outlined in Table No 1.
BERCER/ABAM , A06112
Page 10 o f 10
Table No. 1: USFWS Plant Indicator Status Categories as modified by the National List of Plant
Species that Occur In Wetlands: Northwest -Region IX
Indicator Status Definition
Obligate Wetland (OBL) Occur almost always (estimated probability >99%) under
natural conditions in wetlands.
Facultative Wetland (FACW) Usually occur in wetlands (estimated probability 67%-99%),
but occasionally found in non-wetlands.
Facultative (FAG) Equally likely to occur in wetlands or non-wetlands (estimated
probability 34%-66%).
Facultative Upland (FACU) Usually occur in non-wetlands, but occasionally found in
wetlands (1%-33%).
Obligate Upland (UPL) Plants that rarely occur (estimated probability <1%) in
wetlands, but occur almost always in non-wetlands under
natural conditions.
No Indicator Status (NI) Insufficient information exists to assign an indicator status.
Not Listed (NL)
IV. Results
Not on the National List in any region.
According to the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation Manual, an area
meets the hydrophytic vegetation criteria when, under normal circumstances,
more than 50 percent of the dominant species from each stratum are obligate
wetland (OBL), facultative wetland (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC) species.
For the purposes of the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation Manual
protocol, a plus(+) or a minus(-) sign is often included in the designation to
specify a higher or lower level of the indicator status for the three facultative
categories, and a FAC-indicator status is not considered to be an indicator of
hydrophytic vegetation (i.e., it is treated in the same way as a facultative
upland [FACU], upland [UPL], and a not-listed [NL] species).
One palustrine forested, scrub-shrub wetland was identified on the site. This wetland is
part of a larger system and is connected to other similar wetlands by Honey Creek. While
the system remains isolated by manmade disturbances, it remains connected
hydrologically through the watercourse found in the center of the area of study. Because
of this connectivity, this wetland is a valuable resource with functional potential and
value.
The boundary of the wetland was delineated on the site along forested and scrub-shrub
communities. Seven data points as illustrated in Figure 4 were established along the
wetland boundary to establish a baseline of soil and hydrologic conditions and to sample
plant communities. Data sheets were completed for each of these data points, and the
Wetland Report
17 February 2006
BERGER/ABAM. A06112
Page 11 of 11
points were flagged and labeled to be surveyed. Copies of completed data sheets are
included in Appendix I.
Data from the collection points was analyzed and a wetland determination was made for
each point. Based on this data, a break in topography, plant communities, and hydrologic
indicators was located and followed with occasional sampling to ensure consistency with
the baseline data collected. This line was determined to be the wetland edge and was
flagged and labeled for survey. The following is a description of the findings of the field
study.
A. Data Points
1. Data Point UL-1 (Attached Data Sheet UL-1)
Wetland Report
17 February 2006
Location: This data point is located in the northwest end of the property at the
base of a large hill and on the upland edge adjacent to the Honey Creek
wetland.
Hydrology; No indicators of wetlands hydrology were present at this data
point.
Soils: The soil survey completed (see attached data sheet UL-1) indicated the
soil immediately below the A horizon or at 10 inches was not consistent with
the requirements of wetlands soils as outlined in the Washington State
Wetlands and Delineation Manual (matrix color of 1, or 2 with redoxomorphic
features present, gleyed colors, or presence of organic soils). This data point
did not exhibit characteristics of a wetland soil.
Vegetation: The vegetation surveyed within and around this data point
consisted of red alder (Alnus rubra), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor),
and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). When totaled based on
dominance of the stratum, the plant communities did not meet the standards of
wetland vegetation outlined above and as established by the Washington State
Wetlands and Delineation Manual. The percentage of dominant species with a
rating FAC or wetter within this wetland was found to be 48percent.
Determination: Because this data point lacked the presence of any of the
parameters of a wetland, it was designated an upland data point.

2. Data Point UL-2 (Attached Data Sheet UL-2)
Location: This data point is located in the southeast end of the property near
the fence line of the horse coral and on the upland edge adjacent to the Honey
Creek wetland.
Hydrology. No indicators of wetlands hydrology were present at this data
point.
So/ls: The soil survey completed (see attached data sheet UL-2) indicated the
soil immediately below the A horizon or at 10 inch was consistent with the
requirements of wetland soils as outlined in the Washington State Wetlands
and Delineation Manual (matrix color of 1, or 2 with redoxomorphic features
present). This data point did display characteristics of a wetland soil, however,
this may be due to historic site conditions as the site had no indication of
required hydrology.
Vegetation: The vegetation surveyed within and around this data point
consisted of red alder (Alnus rubra), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor),
and creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens). When totaled based on
dominance of the stratum, the plant communities did meet the standards of
wetland vegetation outlined above and as established by the Washington State
Wetlands and Delineation Manual. The percentage of dominant species with a
rating FAC or wetter within this wetland was found to be 50 percent.
Determination: Because this data point lacked the presence of all three of the
parameters of a wetland, it was designated an upland data point. Further
evaluation of this site and its position in the landscape verified this
determination.
3. Data Point UL-3 (Attached Data Sheet UL-3)
Wetland Report
17 February 2006
Location: This data point is located in the southeast end of the property near
the fence line of the horse coral and on the upland edge adjacent to the Honey
Creek wetland.
Hydrology. This site had strong indicators of wetland hydrology, however,
observations were not made during the growing season as is recommended by
the Washington State Wetlands and Delineation Manual. This data point may
require further evaluation during the growing season for a more accurate
determination, however, the presence or absence of wetland qualifying
conditions at this point do not significantly affect the wetland boundary.
So/ls: The soil survey completed (see attached data sheet UL-3) indicated the
soil immediately below the A horizon or at 10 inches was not consistent with
the requirements of wetlands soils as outlined in the Washington State
Wetlands and Delineation Manual (matrix color of 1, or 2 with redoxomorphic
BERGER/ABAM, A061!2
Page 14 of 14
features present, gleyed colors, or presence of organic soils). This data point
did not exhibit characteristics of a wetland soil, however, the soils
characteristics were close to those of a very gravelly wetland soil.
Vegetation: The vegetation surveyed within and around this data point
consisted of red alder (Alnus rubra), Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor),
salrnonberry (Rubus spectabilis), creeping buttercup (Ranunculus repens), and
skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanum). When totaled based on dominance of
the stratum, the plant communities did meet the standards of wetland
vegetation outlined above and as established by the Washington State
Wetlands and Delineation Manual. The percentage of dominant species with a
rating FAC or wetter within this wetland was found to be 80 percent.
Determination: The characteristics at this data point were very difficult to
characterize due to the scheduling of field visits outside of the growing season.
Because this data point lacked the presence of all three of the parameters of a
wetland, it was designated an upland data point.
4. Data Point WL-l (Attached Data Sheet WL-1)
Wetland Report
17 February 2006

characteristics of a wetland soil.
Vegetation: The vegetation surveyed within and around this data point
consisted of red alder (Alnus rubra), red osier dogwood (Camus sericea),
salrnonberry (Rubus spectabilis), Douglas spirea (Spirea dougliasi), creeping
buttercup (Ranunculus repens), Swordfern (Athyrium filix-femina), and skunk
cabbage (Lysichiton americanum). When totaled based on dominance of the
stratum, the plant communities met the standards of wetland vegetation
outlined above and as established by the Washington State Wetlands and
Delineation Manual. The percentage of dominant species with a rating FAC or
wetter surrounding this wetland data point was found to be 100 percent.
Determination: Tbis data point demonstrated strong indicators of the
parameters of a wetland and it was designated a wetland data point.

B. Boundary Flags
The boundary of the wetland was delineated on the site as the field work of
sampling and observation was being completed. Labeled flags were used to identify
points on the wetland boundary. The Professional Land Surveyor will be able to
survey these points and connect them to be used in conjunction with this report as
part of the required documentation for land use actions with the City of Renton.
A total of 19 labeled flags were placed; 8 were lettered A through H; and 11 were
numbered 1 though 11. The numbered flags start on the northwest end of the
property bearing southeast, and the lettered flags start on the southeast end of the
property bearing northwest. The two lines meet in the middle and form a single line
that, based on the procedures and requirements outlined above, has been
determined to be the wetland boundary.

Explanation: This data point is located towards the southeast end of the property within the Honey Creek wetland
approximately 5 feet from the meandering stream channel.
Due to project timelines and at the request of the client, all field observations and data collection was done in the
beginning of February, outside of the growing season and following one of the areas wettest months on record.
Because of the difficulty in identifying wetland parameters at this time of year, extra attention was given to secondary
indicators.
