HISTORY/BACKGROUND: The Subdivision Technical Committee (STC) of King County has conducted an on-site examination of the subject property. The STC has discussed the proposed development with the applicant to clarify technical details of the application, and to determine the compatibility ofthis project with applicable King County plans, codes, and other official documents regulating this development. As a result of preliminary discussions, the applicant presented the Technical Committee with a revised plat on July 14,2005. The modification was minor and included changes in the contact/applicant infonnation on the face of the preliminary plat map. D. THRESHOLD DETERMINATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SIGNIFICANCE Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), RCW 43.2IC, the responsible oftlcial of the Land Use Services Division (LUSD) issued a threshold determination of non-significance (DNS) for the proposed development on September 16, 2005. This determination was based on the review of the environmental checklist and other pertinent documents, resulting in the conclusion that the proposal would not cause probable significant adverse impacts on the environment. Therefore, an environmental impact statement (EIS) was not required prior to proceeding with the review process. Agencies, affected Native American tribes and the public were offered the opportunity to comment on or appeal the detennination for 14 days. The DNS was not appealed by any party, including the applicant, and it has been incorporated as part of the applicant's proposal. E. AGENCIES CONTACTED: 1.

METRO: No response. 11. City of Renton: See Attachment 2. F. NA TURAL E~rvIRONMENT: 1. Topography: The site generally slopes towards the south and east. The area is mostly nat with no significant slopes. 2. Soils: AgB surfaces soils are found on this site per King County Soil Survey, 1973. s:.affrpt/masters/PLATFMT Nov99.dcc c:'c 11/10/99 -2- AgB -Alderwood gravely, sandy loam; 0-6% slopes. Runoff is slow and the erosion hazard is slight. This soil type has a moderate limitation for low building foundations due to a seasonally high water table, and severe limitations for septic tank filter fields due to very slow permeability in the substratum. 3. Wetland/streams: The site lies within the Upper Soos Creek sub-basin of the SODS Creek drainage basin. 4. Vegetation: This site is second-story vegetation and groundcover consists of Northwest native species including saIal, sword fern, berry vines, and grasses. Scattered evergreen/deciduous trees and brush occur in limited numbers. 5. Wildlife: Small birds and animals undoubtedly inhabit this site; however, their population and species are limited due to nearby development. Larger species may visit this site on occasion. G. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: The site itself consists of 5 parcels totaling 7.7 acres. It is a combination of dense woods, shrubs/grass, landscaped yards, houses, and outbuildings with large lawn areas. The property is located within the Benson Hill area, located between the Cities of Renton and Kent. The area consists of developed parcels. H. SUBDIVISION DESIGN FEATURES I. Lot Pattern and Density: The zoning of the subject property is R-6-S0. The proposed subdivision appears to meet the base density, minimum density, minimum lot width, and minimum lot area requirements of the R-6-S0 zone. 2. Internal Circulation: Access for the newly created lots will be provided by a new cul-dc- sac on the northern portion of the site and by a new access road to connect with the proposed short plat, L04S0003, and 120'h Avenue SE on the southern portion of the site. 3. Roadway Section: Road A from 120,h Avc SE to Lot 40 shall be improved to the urban one-half street standard. The remaining portion of Road A from Lot 40 to the south plat boundary shall be improved to the urban subaccess street standard. Roads B, C, and D shaJl be improved to the urban subaccess street standard. 4. Drainage: The Jessie Glen subdivision is located in the Upper Soos Creek subbasin of the Soos Creek basin. The site is subject to the Conservation (level two) flow control and Basic water quality requirements of the 2005 KCSWDM. The irregularly-shaped site consists of two separated rectangular-shaped areas com1ected by a llllique 30-foot strip that provides continuity. The entire site and surrounding area gently slopes from west to east. The northwest rectangle abuts the east side of 116'h A venue SE. Sheet flow from the northwest rectangle crosses its eastern property line onto the abutting properties. To the south, the southeast rectangle abuts the west side of 120'h Avenue SE. Based on topography, sheet flow from the southeast rectangle crosses its south property line onto the adjacent property. All excess f10w eventually recombines in the ditch on the west side of 120'h Avenue SE and f10ws south. Upon reaching SE 192 0d Street, f10ws tum east toward Soos Creek. The proposal is to collect most runoff from the northwest rectangle and direct it to the southeast rectangle where all site f10ws will enter a single detention and water quality facility located at the eastern end ofthe site adjacent to 120'h Avenue SE. From 120 'h Avenue SE, the allowed release would then travel east on the north side ofSE 192 nd Street. Nuisance f10ws to adjoining properties would be largely eliminated. A conceptual drainage plan has been submitted showing the proposed stormwater facility in the Southeast comer within Tract D. St:;:frpt/r:-tasr.en;/PLAT?MT.NO·...-99.doc clc 11/10/99 ·3- L TRANSPORTATION PLANS: I. Transportation Plans: The subject subdivision is not in conflict with the King County Transportation Plan, Regional Trail Plan, or Nonrnotorized Transportation Plan. 2. Subdivision Access: As stated previously, access for the newly created lots will be provided by a new cul-de-sac on the northern portion of the site and by a new access road to connect with the proposed short plat, L04S0003, and 120th Avenue SE on the southern portion of the site 3. Traffic Generation: It is expected that approximately 490 vehicle trips per day will be generated with full development of the proposed subdivision. This calculation includes service vehicles (i.e., mail delivery, garbage pick-up, school bus) which may currently serve this neighborhood, as well as work trips, shopping, etc. 4. Adequacy of Arterial Roads: This proposal has been reviewed under the criteria in King County Code 14.70, Transportation Concurrency Management; 14.80, Intersection Standards; and King County Code 14.75; Mitigation Payment System. a.

Except as modified herein, the facts set forth in the DOES reports (including the incorporation of the traffic narrative received as exh. 16, inadvertently omitted from the staff report) to the Examiner and the DOES and King County Department of Transportation testimony are found to be correct and are incorporated herein by reference. 3. The subjcct property is an odd-shaped aggregate of tracts (essentially two rectangles connected by a narrow rectangular strip) with frontage on the east side of I I 6th Avenue Southeast and on the west side of 120th Avenue Southeast, north of Southeast 192nd Street in the Benson Hill area between Renton and Auburn. "TI,e site terrain consists of a gentle slope generally from west to easL Vegetation consists of a combination of dense mixed-species woods, shrub and grassy areas, and landscaped yards and lawn arca gracing two residences (one on each major rectangle) and their associated outbuildings. No sensitive/critical areas lie within or in close proximity to the site. The slL."Younding area consists of generally larger lot suburban residential parcels. LOSPOOOS -Jessie Glen 3 4. The Applicant proposes subdivision of the property into 49' lots for single-family residential development Each of the major rectangles of the aggregate property would be served by its own system of public roads providing access to each of the lots (Tract A, originally proposed to be a private stub road, may instead be dedicated as a public road; county staff confirmed that such conversion is feasible as the subdivision is currently proposed). A recreation tract with amenities would be placed at the easterly terminus of the cul-de-sac in the east end of the northwesterly half of the development, connected to the southeasterly portion by a continuation of the recreation tract in the connecting strip, which would itselfbe developed with a pedestrian trail and amenities. A drainage detention tract would be placed in the easterly portion of the southeast tract on the 120th Avenue Southeast frontage. 5. The single member of the public participating in the hearing (Babu rarayil, a nearby property owner) requested information regarding ability to hook up to the sanitary sewer service to be extended into the site by the Soos Creek Water and Sewer District As noted in the hearing, sewer connection policies are under the authority of the District, not the County. CONCLUSIONS: I. The proposed subdivision, as conditioned below, would conform to applicable land use controls. In particular, the proposed type of development and overall density arc specifically permitted under the R-6-S0 zone. 2. If approved subject to the conditions below, the proposed subdivision will make appropriate provisions for the topical items enumerated within RCW 58.17.110, and will serve the public health, safety and welfare, and the public usc and interest. 3. The conditions for final plat approval set forth below are reasonable requirements and in the public interest. 4. The dedications of land or easements within and adjacent to the proposed plat, as shown on tbe revised preliminary plat submitted on July 14,2005, or as required for final plat approval, are reasonable and necessary as a direct result of the development of this proposed plat, and arc prop0l1ionate to the impacts of the development.
